Death of Constable Carpenter.
The death of Constable William Carpenter, who was in charge of the Moss Vale police station from August 10, 1891, to May 25, 1894, and was then transferred to Parramatta, took place at the latter town on Saturday last after a long illness.
After recovering from a severe attack of pneumonia he was retired as unfit for further service.
A few weeks later he was again taken ill with an affection of the heart and from that attack never recovered.
He had been in the service about 30 years and was a most efficient officer and highly respected by all who knew him.
He was twice married, his first wife and their child predeceasing him nearly twelve years, their remains being laid to rest at Bowral.
He married again, and leaves a wife and eight-year-old son to mourn their loss.
He was a brother-in-law to Mr. H. Jervis, Moss Vale.
Deceased’s remains were interred in the Church of England cemetery at Rookwood on Monday last.

DEATH OF CONSTABLE CARPENTER
Constable Wm. Carpenter ( for really he died in harness, though the authorities regarded the matter, technically, in a different light ) passed away on Saturday evening.
A few weeks ago he appeared to make a rally from the effects of his serious attack of illness ; but matters took a fatal turn a few days later, and then the end came, somewhat suddenly.
The funeral, which was largely attended, took place on Monday afternoon, the Rev. H. F. L. Palmer reading the Burial Service at the graveside at the Necropolis, Rookwood, and Mr. Ralph Metcalfe having charge of the funeral arrangements.
The clergyman took the opportunity afforded by the presence of scores of men ( some of whom, by the nature of their occupations, have but limited opportunities of attending public worship regularly ) to say a few earnest and solemn words suited to the occasion, referring to the opportunities afforded during this life of doing some good and thus ” rising ( through Christ ) to the life eternal. ” Mr. Palmer referred in a few affectionately-toned words to the gentleness and patience and valour, in suffering, of the comrade there departed, whose career and character had won him such universal respect and esteem in all the districts in which he had lived in Australia. Among those present at the funeral were : Inspector Grugeon, Dr. Kearney, ex-Sub-Inspector Fowler, Senior-Sergeant Bennett, Sergeant Nies, Mr. T. R. Moxham, Messrs. C. E. Byrnes, A. Holmes, Alderman Telfer, Messrs. G. H. Mobbs, J. Ridal, W. Board, W. Moxham, West Harkins, Smith, Robertson, R. Yates, Gimbert, Eddie, Allison, Qrr, Mortimer, Denman, Campbell, Williamson, Gill, Rafter, Overton, Gilchrist. Mahony, Senior-Constable Noble ( an old friend, from Wollongong ).

Police gear up for nostalgic chaos that was Beatlemania
SYDNEY: Scenes reminiscent of Beatlemania are expected tomorrow when rock superstar Paul McCartney makes his first in-store record appearance since the days of the Beatles.
Thousands of McCartney’s fans are expected to turn out to try to get a glimpse of – or meet – the former Beatle when he appears for 30 minutes at Brashs’ city store to sign copies of his latest album, Off The Ground.
EMI Music spokesman Tom Enright said police had been enlisted to assist with crowd control.
” We’ll have masses and masses of security guards to make sure that people file in and out of the store correctly, ” Mr Enright said.
” And of course, the store will be barricaded. ”
The control technician of the City of Sydney police, Inspector Paul Moseley, would not reveal how many police would be in attendance.
” There will be police on hand to assist security guards with the maintenance of order in the store, ” he said.
Two prison escapers had been caught in Goulburn yesterday, after police received a tip that they had boarded a train to Goulburn from Sydney, Constable Paul Moseley, of Goulburn CID said yesterday.
The escapers had been serving six-month sentences at Silverwater Jail, near Parramatta.
One, Mr Anthony Coleman, 20, walked out of the jail early on Monday, and the other, Mr Gary Lee, failed to report back to the centre after being allowed weekend leave last Friday.
Three other prisoners who have escaped since last Friday are still at large.
Mr Raymond Wright, 24, serving 18 years for armed hold-up, cut bars in his cell and climbed the security wall at Goulburn Jail on Tuesday, and escaped.
Mr Barry Millane, 39, serving a life sentence for murder, escaped on Friday night while attending a basketball game at the Sydney Boys’ High School.
Earlier on Friday a young prisoner absconded during his regular cooking class at East Sydney Technical College at Darlinghurst.
SYDNEY. Sunday. Police are investigating the shooting of 34 merino rams, valued at more than $4,500, on a Goulburn property.
Detective P. Moseley, of Goulburn, said some of the sheep had been killed and others had been crippled and had dragged themselves about until they died.

Sending all my love to all the family. The memories we shared will never be forgotten. Will never forget the party at the West’s seeing him dressed up as a bikie with Leonie and how much he loved that Harley. I’ll always remember his gentleness and compassion. He was a very special and influential man. Thoughts are with you all and all the grandchildren.

Knew Richard ( Dickie ) from the time he joined the Police Cadets in 1962. Great mates during those wonderful days. We rowed in the re formed Police rowing team together with the likes of Glen Deholm and Bob Worland.
Dick and I went to Adelaide together in early 1966 on a camping trip visiting a number of ‘old’ former cadets along the way at various Police Stations in regional NSW. Lost contact unfortunately when I went to the bush that same year.
RIP mate and condolences to all the Doust family.

What a beautiful service for Richard. So pleased we could be part of it from the rolling hills of Dorrigo where he was born.
Richard’s Mum Glad Lawrence & my mother Ida Pullen, from Sydney went to Dorrigo in 1937 and met these two Dorrigo Dairy farmers. Glad married Albert Doust a 2nd cousin of my mothers. From that time our families have been close & would catch up at family gatherings over the years. It was great growing up with Richard, Margaret & Neroli in Dorrigo and more recently catching up with them at Nelson Bay at a fabulous dinner party with Geoff & Judy Washington in February. Our thoughts are with you all. A wonderful Celebration of Richard ‘s life.

So sad to hear of Richards passing. We spent many good times together on highway patrol duties at Bathurst in the 1960s. May god be with you and family on this sad occasion.
