John Campbell
Macdougall, appeared to answer the complaint of the chief constable for
retailing beer without a licence on the 16th October last. The two witnesses to support the case were
Kerbey and Dutton, Constables, of whom we have had frequent occasions to speak
in favourable terms. Hannah Hill and
William Johnson, servants to Mr. Macdougall, were produced to confute their
testimony, and the case was ultimately adjourned for judgement until Monday.
Monday
December 28.
Mr. Capon
attended, and prayed for judgement in the above case, when Mr.Gellibrand
appeared, and also prayed that further evidence might be heard on the part of
the defence. The request being granted,
Miss.Macdougall came forward and swore that Mrs. Macdougall (whom it had had
been sworn had served the beer), was at the hour of eight o’clock, she thought,
on the evening of the 16th October, at a prayer meeting at
Mr.Hopkins, and did not return until nine o’clock, when she recolled walking
home with her from the circumstance of the bell ringing at nine o’clock. She also recollected Mrs. Macdougall had not
attended the prayer meeting since that time.
Mr. Henry Schultze remembered going to Mr. Hopkins with Mrs. Macdougall
and Miss. Macdougall and returning with them between eight and nine
o’clock. He thought it was on the 24th
October, but could not swear to the day.
Hannah Hill who was examined the first day, appeared again and swore,
that Mrs. Macdougall was at Mr.Hopkin’s on the 16th October, and
that she had been there since.
Case dismissed.

best known brand being Snax. And they

years they were virtually “swallowed” by Swallow and Ariel, which in turn
became one with the national company Arnott-Brockhoff-Guest Pty.Ltd.
