TROVE Geelong Advertiser (Vic: 1859 - 1929) Sat 18 Feb 1865 p2 The committee of the Ladies' Benevolent Association, Geelong, wish to caution the public against the impostures practised upon them by a woman named Hindmarsh. The facts are as follows: — her husband is in Geelong (not New Zealand, as generally represented by her), but too drunken to do anything for the support of himself or family. The woman was admitted into the hospital, and her children provided for at the home by the ladies' committee; hut she left the hospital before it was advisable to do so and removed her children from the home that she might through them work upon the feelings of the public. Through the representations of 'the committee, one of the children, who is idiotic, would have been provided for by the Government, but the father refused to sign the document necessary on the occasion, so that nothing could be done. The committee leave, it to the public to say whether it would be right in them to spend the society's money in relieving such-characters, and thereby, deprive the more deserving of aid.

TROVE Geelong Advertiser (Vic: 1859 - 1929) Tue 6 Jan 1874 Page 2 THE LATE BOAT ACCIDENT. James Hindmarsh, of Villamanta-street said I was at the tea gardens at Point Henry on the 26th December, and I went on board of the Fanny about two o'clock. Did not count the number on board when we sailed, but believe there were about 18. Sharpe was steersman, and giving orders to his mate Thomson. Saw both men go on board their boat, but observed nothing peculiar about them. On leaving the pier we saw _ the steamer Sarah apparently approaching us, but after getting out the steamer seemed to turn about towards Geelong again. We then proceeded across the bay towards Cowie's Creek. The wind was squally and strong from the south. On our way there, Sharpe found fault with Thomson because the foresail was not hoisted high enough. Thomson replied that he could not possibly get the sail higher. Saw no appearance of drink about either of the men. The boat was heaving about a good deal, and once or twice— several times—the water came over the gunwale on the lee side. I sat towards the stern, not far from Sharpe. One man was engaged baling out the water with a pannican. When we got near the shore at Cowie's Creek Sharpe tried to put the boat about. He only used the tiller, and said, “ Look out— I'm going to put her about,” but he did nothing to the sails. I saw no frolicking going on, but seeing there was danger when sailing across the bay, I said to Sharpe, “Look out, or you'll capsize us.” The water was then washing over the gunwale. He laughed, and said he had been in worse seas and in rougher weather with his boat. I do not think he used the tiller so as to throw the water into the boat intentionally. Thomson was in the fore part of the boat minding the foresail. Sharpe made two attempts to put the boat about. The boat would not come round, and seeing this he lowered the mainsail, at the same moment giving the tiller to Philpot. He then get out an oar and pulled the boat round to the wind. The boat drifted outwards and got some distance from the land, when the mainsail was again hoisted. The boat did not go aground, and we were about fifty yards from the shore at Cowie's Creek, when we turned about. When the mainsail was hoisted I sang out to Sharpe to come and steer the boat. He came towards the stern, in a few seconds after that the wind caught the sail and capsized the boat, the boom swinging over the side of the boat, which was sailing slowly at the time. I believe Sharpe was then steering. No one was struck by the boom. Made a spring as the boat upset so as to get clear of the rigging, but did not succeed. I then swam clear of the boat, but afterwards turned back, to look out for my two sons who were in the water. The passengers were clinging to the part of the boat highest out of the water. I swam with my boys to the bow. She washed right over us occasionally. Noticing two deal boards floating a little distance away I swam for one, and having secured it gave it to one of my boys. I got the other board and kept it myself. We left the boat to try and reach the shore. Shortly after wards we were picked up by the boat Our Hope. Neither of the boatmen Sharpe and Thomson appeared to be under the influence of drink. The passengers also appeared to be sober. If Sharpe had taken drink he did not show it. Know little about boating and cannot say whether the boat was properly handled. Sharpe appeared to be rather reckless, and had no fear. He did not seem to be careful enough. I knew Sharpe slightly, but am not acquainted with Thomson. To jurymen— Some of the passengers were frightened, and spoke to Sharpe when crossing the Bay, but no one insisted on being put ashore-at Cowie's Creek. I believe if a careful and practical man had had charge of the boat she would not have capsized. There was room for the passengers in the boat to sit down, but not for the boatmen to move about. Sharpe appeared to be careless end foolhardy, but not the worse of drink. He might have shortened sail, or tried some other means before the boat capsized. There was one reef in the mainsail if not more when we started.

19 March 1875 Mary Ann Hindmarsh aged 17. Not mentioned on death certificate of Ann Hindmarsh. Inquest certificate 88. Mary Jane died of accidental burns, inquest held 17/3/1875. Father Labourer, buried 19/3/1875, Geelong. C of E, parents James and Ann Hindmarsh.

TROVE Geelong Advertiser (Vic: 1859 - 1929) Thu 10 Feb 1876 Page 2 POLICE COURT. A slight disturbance was occasioned in Corio-street last evening by a man named James Hindmarsh a blacksmith, who was slightly intoxicated. He went to the house of a Mrs Mary Page to look for his wife, and created a row there, which ended in Hindmarsh breaking a few windows in Mrs Page's house. Constable Molloy, who was in the neighbourhood at the time, arrested the man, and lodged him in the lock-up on a dual charge of drunkenness and damaging property.

TROVE Geelong Advertiser (Vic: 1859 - 1929) Sat May 1877 Page 4 Wednesday, 31st May. (Before the Mayor, Mr Panton, P.M., and Messrs Conves and Butlierford, Js.P.) Alleged Theft. —Alexander Melville and Michael Hayes were charged with having stolen a steel cutter, used by farriers in clipping the heels off horse shoes, the property of Samuel Lamble, farrier, of Ryrie street. Mr M'Cormick appeared for the prosecutor, and Mr A. D. J. Daly, solicitor, for the prisoners. Samuel Lamble deposed that on the 6th April he missed the cutter from his shop, and did not see the article again until the 22nd inst., when he saw the cutter in the farrier's shop of Michael Hayes, in a lane off Little Bourke street. He identified the cutter, as he had made it himself, and he did not think there was another one like it in the colony. When he picked up the cutter he said to Melville, who was in the shop—“This is my property,” and Melville said—“ Well, you had better see my master.” Witness then went over to Hayes and said—“ Mr Hayes, this is my property,” and Hayes replied—“no, it is not; give it to me.” Witness refused, and Hayes said—“I bought the cutter for2s,” but refused to say where lie bought it. Witness then went to the detective office; he valued the cutter at 32s. James Hindmarsh and John Marshall were in his employment. To the Bench- Gave the cutter to the detective. To Mr Daly—Witness brought the cutter to Geelong again. Melville had been apprenticed to him for five years, and, after his time was up, Melville had remained in his employment for twelve months. afterwards left him in a hurry, and he was annoyed at this. He had never promised to give Melville a watch and chain. He believed that Melville had worked at Robertson's, in Melbourne. For twelve months. Had tried to buy Scott's place of business before Hayes got it; be had never been at Hayes' shop whilst Hayes had it until the 22nd inst. He had been at Hayes' private residence. Had known Hayes for 20 years. To Mr M'Cormick—Had never authorised anyone to take the cutter away, nor had he authorised anyone to sell it. James Hindmarsh, a farrier in the employ of the prosecutor deposed that on the 2nd April he saw Melville at his employer's shop about 8 a.m. At the time Marshall and Wm. Lawson were there. Witness went to get his breakfast, and was away from the shop halt-an-hour. He put on a couple of old shoes on a horse that day, it being a holiday. On the 3rd April when he went to work he missed the cutter produced. To Mr Daly—In nearly all farriers' shops there were cutters. A cutter could be made by any blacksmith in less than a day. There were three other persons in the shop besides those he had named. (The cutter alleged to have been stolen and another were handed to the witness, and he picked out the one identified by Mr Lamble, and said that the second one had not been used but was new.) Mr M'Cormick—Yes, made for the purpose. Mr Daly—That is au unwarrantable inference. The prosecutor, re-called, said that the cutter he lost was made on his own pattern. and he had never seen another like it until the second one had been produced by the defendant's solicitor. That one was a fair copy of his cutter. To Mr Daly—He did not remember having told Hayes that he would give Melville six months. He told Hayes that Melville had left his employ in an unbecoming manner. ICow he was positive that he never told Hayes that he would give Melville six months. John Marshal!, in Mr Lamble's employ, deposed that he saw Lawson, Miller, and Melville in the shop on the 2nd April, no seldom used the cutter, and did not recollect seeing it on that day. Detective Eddlestone, stationed in Melbourne, deposed that on Tuesday week he went to Hayes' shop, showed Hayes the cutter, and asked him if Mr Lamble had taken it away. Hayes said “ Yes.” Witness then said—'' Lamble claims it as his property; do you know anything about it. “Hayes said—' Yes, I will take you to the place where I got it.” Witness then, accompanied by Hayes, went to a shop kept by a dealer named Lees. Witness had the cutter claimed by Lamble in his hand. Hayes said to Lees—“ Didn't you sell that cutter to me for 1s 6d Lees said—” No.“ Hayes then said to Lees—” Do you not remember me coming to your shop and buying a lot of things off you.“ Lees said—”Yes, but I don't recollect what you bought.“ In reply to witness, Lees said he might have sold the cutter to Hayes. Witness had arrested Melville, and served the summons on Hayes. When arrested, Melville said that lie did not know anything about the cutter. To Mr Daly—He identified the cutter produced as the one given to him by Lamble from its general appearance. Several unimportant witnesses were examined, and the magistrates retired. After a lengthy consultation, the Mayor stated that the Bench had come to the conclusion to discharge both prisoners. They were accordingly set at liberty.

Liver Disease

Wikipedia says: Liver disease (also called hepatic disease) is a type of damage to or disease of the liver. The symptoms related to liver dysfunction include both physical signs and a variety of symptoms related to digestive problems, blood sugar problems, immune disorders, abnormal absorption of fats, and metabolism problems. The malabsorption of fats may lead to symptoms that include indigestion, reflux, deficit of fatsoluble vitamins, hemorrhoids, gall stones, intolerance to fatty foods, intolerance to alcohol, nausea and vomiting attacks, abdominal bloating, and constipation.

Nervous system disorders include depression, mood changes, especially anger and irritability, poor concentration and “foggy brain”, overheating of the body, especially the face and torso, and recurrent headaches (including migraine) associated with nausea.

The blood sugar problems include hypoglycaemia. Abnormalities in the level of fats in the blood stream, whether too high or too low levels of lipids in the organism. Hypercholesterolemia: elevated LDL cholesterol, reduced HDL cholesterol, elevated triglycerides, clogged arteries leading to high blood pressure, heart attacks and strokes, build up of fat in other body organs (fatty degeneration of organs), lumps of fat in the skin (lipomas and other fatty tumors), excessive weight gain (which may lead to obesity), inability to lose weight even while dieting, sluggish metabolism, protuberant abdomen (pot belly), cellulite, fatty liver, and a roll of fat around the upper abdomen (liver roll) etc. Or too low levels of lipids: hypocholesterolemia: low total cholesterol, low LDL and VLDL cholesterol, low triglyderides.

Types Hepatitis, inflammation of the liver, is caused mainly by various viruses (viral hepatitis) but also by some liver toxins (e.g. alcoholic hepatitis), autoimmunity (autoimmune hepatitis) or hereditary conditions. Alcoholic liver disease is any hepatic manifestation of alcohol overconsumption, including fatty liver disease, alcoholic hepatitis, and cirrhosis. Analogous terms such as “drug-induced” or “toxic” liver disease are also used to refer to the range of disorders caused by various drugs and environmental chemicals. Fatty liver disease (hepatic steatosis) is a reversible condition where large vacuoles of triglyceride fat accumulate in liver cells. Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is a spectrum of disease associated with obesity and metabolic syndrome, among other causes. Fatty liver may lead to inflammatory disease (i.e. steatohepatitis) and, eventually, cirrhosis.
