Notes
(points of interest etc.) |
David was also was in Prospect in 1845,
when his 18-year-old son Frederick ran afoul of the law. Frederick was
accused by a neighbour, Mrs. Lawrence, of having wilfully driven a goat into
her house, not for the first time. David Ball reckoned he'd seen nothing, but
reported that Frederick had told him Mr Lawrence had set the dogs on the
goat. Dismissed on an informality, perhaps because Mr Lawrence said there was
no point putting questions to the accused (Frederick), he having perjured
himself so badly! (Adelaide Observer, 18 November 1845.) |
