Update #3: 6 months ago.
In January this year I was diagnosed with Grade 4 Glioblastoma Multiforme. I have had Radiotherapy and Chemotherapy . In June this year a portion of a second brain tumour was removed. The standard Chemotherapy used for Brain Cancer has to this date been unsuccessful and the tumour continues to grow. My biggest hurdle at present is the swelling of the brain. An alternative Chemotherapy will help with this swelling and may give me an extra couple of months with my family. There is little or no government subsidy and we have sought help through foundations which have been unsuccessful. I am asking for a small donation from my family and friends to help with the cost of further treatment.

LISMORE, Wednesday: Two men were arrested at Byron Bay and charged with having in their possession goods reasonably suspected of having been stolen or unlawfully obtained.
It is alleged that the goods were portion of a cargo of an American vessel which went aground at Byron Bay in heavy seas about a fortnight ago. Some of the articles have been recovered by the police. They include motors, barometers, compasses, ships’ clocks, wire ropes, butter, tea, army blankets, general fittings and accessories. Police estimated the value of the recovered goods at £400. The investigations were carried out and the arrests made by Detective Constable H. Jenkings, of Lismore, and Detective Constable A. Brookes, of Sydney, who, in conjunction with American provosts, interviewed about 100 people between Monday and yesterday. The men charged were allowed bail and are to appear at Byron Bay Court on July 19.
LISMORE, Friday: Charged with breaking and entering the Popular Cafe, owned by Constatine Karazeris, Burringbar Street, Mullumbimby, on June 14, three men and two 18-year-old youths were granted bail today to appear at Mullumbimby Court on July 18.
The defendants are alleged to have broken into the cafe in the early hours of the morning and taken goods to the value of £13, including money, chocolates, soft drinks, tobacco and cigarettes.
Three were arrested at a banana plantation about 10 miles from Mullumbimby, on Thursday, by Detective-Constable H. Jenkings, of Lismore, Detective-Constable A. R- Brooks, of Sydney, and Constable G. Taylor, of Mullumbimby. The other two were arrested at Port Macquarie yesterday by Detective Lyons, of Kempsey, after being traced for several days. Two men were granted bail at Port Macquarie and three at Mullumbimby police station.
Charged with breaking and entering the Popular Cafe, Burringbar Street, Mullumbimby, on June 24 and stealing money, chocolates, cigarettes and tobacco of a total value of £12/13/4, the property of Constantine Karazeris, three men were committed for Trial by Mr A. J. Bryant, PM, at Mullumbimby Court yesterday.
They will appear in the Lismore Quarter Sessions on July 31. Each was granted bail at £30.
The men charged were Francis Hill (23), John Allen (27) and Spencer McIntyre (19).
Detective-Constable H. Jenkings, of Lismore, stated that in company with Constable Taylor he arrested the three men on the banana plantation where they were employed about seven miles from Mullumbimby: When questioned the defendants, he alleged, admitted the offence, which they regretted, adding that they were under the influence of liquor at the time.
Mr P. Street, who appeared for Hill, said that Hill was an ex-member of the AIF with a number of years’ service to his credit. He had been mentioned in dispatches for gallantry. Allen and McIntyre were undefended.
Former Bondi swimmer, Constable Harry Jenkings, who has also played for Easts’ Union and League clubs, was recently married at Lismore, where is now stationed, to Miss Barbara Sullivan (AWAS), of Bondi.
The long-odds chance came off this week when a youth walked into a Paddington dealer’s shop and asked about pawning a gold sovereign case with chain attached. The dealer made an excuse, slipped out the back and rang the detectives. The case and chain belonged to a friend of his who had it stolen from an auction sale at Petersham. The dealer remembered it because he had repaired it a week before. Dets. Harry Jenkings and Eric Rankin were quickly on the spot, but the youth had ” smelt a rat ” and bolted. *
A policeman yesterday captured an exhausted man at Woollahra after a mile-and-a-half chase.
The man fell in a state of collapse. ” I’m done; you can take me, ” he said. Constable Harry Jenkings, of Paddington police, arrested him. Jenkings is a former Eastern Suburbs firsts grade Rugby Union forward and Bondi surf life-saver.
Constables Jenkings and Jim Watts were patrolling in Thorne Street, Edgecliff, at 5 p.m.
They saw a man enter a house, and recognised him as a man for whose arrest police held a warrant.
A woman invited Constable Jenkings into the house, where the man denied he was the one the police wanted. He agreed to accompany Jenkings to Paddington police station.
Door slammed
As they were leaving the house, the man pushed Jenkings backwards and slammed the door in his face. He had more than 30 yards start when Jenkings opened the door.
The man ran from Thorne Street on to a large, vacant allotment and crashed through dense bushes and scrub. Constable Jenkings and the man fell and rolled through the bushes and down steep, rough slopes during the chase.
Just as Jenkings over took him, in a thick clump of scrub, the man fell exhausted and surrendered. Constable Watts reached the spot shortly afterwards.
The two policemen had to assist the exhausted man — a 27-years-old meat lumper — a mile and a half back to the car.
Samson, named by Constable Jenkings, strayed into the yard of the police station on Tuesday.
Samson was wearing a collar and chain which supports Constable Jenkings‘ view that he is the ” mobile lawnmower ” of someone in the Watsons Bay – Vaucluse area. He seems quite content to browse in the long grass at the station, but Vaucluse police are anxious to find his owner. Samson is carrying about £3 worth of wool.
MARK JENKINGS, 3, son of Vaucluse constable, Harry Jenkings, pats his new pal, Samson, the wandering sheep.

DOMESTIC INTELLIGENCE.
SUICIDE OF AN EX- DETECTIVE OFFICER
Early yesterday morning it was discovered that John Elsey, late of the detective force of this city, had committed suicide by cutting his throat. The deceased was lodging in the Galway Arms Hotel, in Flinders-lane, and on his not making his customary appearance at breakfast, some person went to his room, and found the unfortunate man lying on his face on the floor, with his throat cut, and quite dead.
The deceased was about thirty years of age, a married man, and a native of Kentucky. Some time ago he left his wife behind him at Castlemaine, and went home to America. On his return, it appeared that she had formed an acquaintance with another man, by whom, it is alleged, she had two children.
Elsey obtained a situation in the detective force but was soon after summoned to Castlemaine to provide his wife with a maintenance, and the Bench made an order of £1 per week. This award the deceased was dissatisfied with, and as Mr. Smith, the late superintendent of the detective force, wished, to keep back from his salary the amount awarded by the Bench to his wife, the deceased left the force. This happened about a month ago.
Since that time Elsey appears to have been harassed by applications on the part of the man who is living with his wife for the award of the Castlemaine Bench for her maintenance, and the deceased had since given way to dissipation, and formed acquaintances with disreputable women. His health appears to have broken down, and those circumstances together are supposed to have led to the committal of the rash act.
An inquest will be held over the body this morning.
Empire ( Sydney ) Friday 22 August 1856 page 6 of 8
The following extraordinary case of suicide by a detective officer is from the “Herald ” of the 10th instant : —
” Yesterday, Dr. Wilmot, City Coroner, held an inquest at the Galway Hotel, Flinders-lane east, on the body of John Elsey, who was found dead in his room with his throat cut that morning. The deceased had been a well-conducted member of the detective force, and the circumstances which led him to commit suicide were of a very painful nature, as will be seen from the following evidence given at the inquest :– Abraham Fenton, sergeant of police, said that he knew the deceased as belonging to the detective force, and hearing yesterday morning that he had committed suicide, he went immediately to the Galway Hotel, and found him lying on his face on the floor of the room, with a razor in his right hand, which was underneath the throat. On the dressing table there was a bottle labelled “laudanum,” and in his trunk, amongst other documents, he found the following paper, in the handwriting of deceased : —
[blockquote]
” Galway Hotel. August 11, 1856.
This is a correct statement of John Elsey. My name is John Elsey. I was born in the county of Norfolk, England. My people emigrated to the United States when I was only one year old. My mother died about six months after landing.
The first of my experience was working with a farmer for my board and clothes. At twelve years of age I went to drive on the Erie canal ; from that coasted out of New York till I came to this colony, which was in 1852. I came out as ordinary seaman in the brig Augustas ; I ran and left the ship three days after she arrived. I went to Gisborne and worked on the roads for two months, after which I went to Castlemaine, and joined the police.
I was promoted to sergeant, and made plenty of money, and on the 11th of February, 1855, commenced my troubles. I married a girl about sixteen years of age. She turned out very bad, so much so that I concluded to go home till she forgot. I went home, and was gone twelve months. When I arrived in this country again I joined the detective police. I had not been in them more than (?) before my wife summoned me to Castlemaine, and the bench of magistrates ordered me to pay the sum of 25s per week. I could not afford to pay the same. I went and saw the Chief Commissioner of Police, and he told me he would suspend me for the period of which I was gone to Castlemaine to find proof against my wife, and when I come back from Castlemaine he should immediately take me on again. When I came back from Castlemaine I went to him, and he told me he would take me on. After detaining my time for two weeks, he would not do it.
And now for that reason I am about to commit this : and may the great God cast a punishment on him that will make him feel that he has got this most abominable sin to answer for. I cannot do hard work, and there is nothing else left for me to do ; and before having to knock about the country like some, I will commit suicide.
Given under my hand this 14th day of August, 1856.
JOHN ELSEY.
14th August — I state that I owe nearly the sum of £3 for board which I wish to be awarded out of my effects.
JOHN ELSEY.
[/blockquote]
Patrick Kelly, landlord of the Galway Hotel, said that the deceased had been a lodger at his house for about three months, with the exception of a few weeks’ absence.
On his return to the house on the 31st of July, after being away for a few weeks, he observed a change in his appearance, and deceased told him that he had been unwell ever since he left his house, and was getting worse. He only complained of a cold, and about a week ago said that he had again joined the detective force, but had leave of absence for a week in order to get rid of his cold. The last time he saw him alive was on Thursday at mid-day, when he appeared the same as usual. One of the lodgers saying that he had knocked at the door of deceased without receiving any answer, he sent up to ascertain the fact, and subsequently forced open the door, when he saw deceased in the state in which he then lay. To his knowledge deceased was not addicted to drinking.
Patrick Boyle, teacher, had known the deceased for the last fortnight, and had opportunities of seeing a great deal of him. For the last eight or nine days he appeared very dejected in mind, and said that he was very unwell. For the last three days he could hardly go up and down stairs, and seemed to have lost the power of his limbs, and to have been very absent in mind. He had never seen him under the influence of liquor.
Henry White of the detective force, had known the deceased since March last, when he was in the detective force, and was a steady well conducted man. He resigned in June, and proceeded to Castlemaine, where he had been summoned by his wife for maintenance, and he was ordered to pay her a weekly allowance.
He felt greatly aggrieved at his wife living with another man. He then resigned the force, and had since been leading a very irregular life. The last time he saw him alive was on Monday, the 12th instant, when he seemed very low in spirits, and said he thought he should rejoin the force. He traced all his troubles to the conduct of his wife, which preyed heavily upon his mind.
The jury, by their verdict, found that John Elvey(sic) had died from a wound inflicted by his own hand by a certain razor across the throat, whilst in a state of temporary derangement.”
John Elsey, a native of Kentucky, and an ex-detective officer of the Melbourne Police, committed suicide by cutting his throat, on the 15th inst., in the Galway Arms Hotel, Melbourne, where he had been lodging.

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.
The Assault on the Detectives. — George Pickering, the oyster-dealer, who, on Tuesday, created a serious disturbance in Little Bourke street, and was secured with great difficulty, made his appearance on Wednesday, with his head and face severely mauled and blood-stained.
On Detective Elsey’s announcing his authority to arrest him, he said that he never went without a fight for it, and immediately struck the detective a violent blow in the chest.
In self-defence he drew and wielded his neddy vigorously, and, besides contending with the prisoner, had to withstand the attacks of a whole host of pick pockets and oyster men, the friends of the prisoner. At last, by the aid of Detectives White and Randall, he was hauled off to the lock-up.
His wife, at whose instance he had been arrested, appeared against him.
She supports herself by washing, and on the present occasion had a considerable quantity of clothes in the house. Pickering, just out of gaol, went into the house, and after brutally ill-treating his wife, threw all the clothes out of the window into the street.
She has two children by the prisoner, who broke the leg of one of them in a fit of drunkenness, some time previous. The prisoner was sentenced to three months’ hard labor, and at the conclusion of that term he was ordered to find two sureties of £25 each, to keep the peace towards his wife for twelve months.

MORE STURT’S JUSTICE
Another sample of this very peculiar commodity has been exhibited at the Melbourne Police Office during the past week.
Four ” fast ” young men, named James Bruce, William Bruce, Henry Younger, and John Ford were charged on Tuesday with having the previous evening created a disturbance at the Theatre Royal, and assaulted Detective Elsey in the execution of his duty.
The evidence of the detective was to the effect that, hearing James Bruce making use of disgraceful language he (Elsey) desired him (Bruce) to desist.
Bruce hereupon first abused and then struck Elsey, who tried to arrest his assailant, but the latter was immediately reinforced by the other three prisoners.
Elsey was severely beaten among them, his clothes torn, and a ” gold nugget pin ” plucked from his breast and flung away.
Ultimately Elsey received succor, and the brawlers were arrested. On being brought before the Police Court the next day, James Bruce, William Bruce, and Henry Younger were sentenced to one month’s imprisonment, Ford being released on payment of a forty shilling fine, his participation in the disturbance having been small.

SHERIFFS attempting to evict a Warrawong man from his unit were forced to call in police when he threatened the officers with a crowbar, a court has heard.Police were forced to subdue Peter Bevan Dunn, 50, with capsicum spray when he refused to co-operate with the eviction order and repeatedly threatened to hit the officers with the crowbar if they entered the property.He was yesterday found guilty in Wollongong Local Court of hindering the sheriffs in the execution of their duties, and also assaulting a sheriff and a police officer.A further charge of assaulting a law officer was dismissed.Sheriffs Michael Riquelme and Geraldine Trimarchi went to Dunn’s Todd St unit on May 23 with an eviction notice from the Consumer, Trader and Tenancy Tribunal.
The court heard Mr Riquelme attempted to speak with Dunn through the closed screen door and explain the process, however he refused to co-operate and instead grabbed a nearby crowbar and showed it to the officers.
“He said if you do come in I will hurt you,” Ms Trimarchi said.
Mr Riquelme told the court he felt fearful and, after Dunn slammed the door shut, called police.
Four officers arrived a short time later and another attempt was made to speak with Dunn, who did not answer the door.
Dunn told the court he had been in a back room using his computer and had not heard the officers.
Lake Illawarra police officer Constable Giampiero Giuri told the court Ms Trimarchi made two attempts to kick the door open without success before he managed to kick the door open, revealing Dunn standing close by holding the crowbar above his head.
Constable Giuri said Dunn was yelling and acting aggressively and, after making several requests for him to put down the crowbar, Const Giuri pushed Ms Trimarchi out of the way before subduing Dunn with capsicum spray. He was arrested and taken to Lake Illawarra Police Station.
Dunn, an ex-police officer, said he had no intention of harming the sheriffs or police and was merely protecting his property.
He told the court he had slammed the door shut out of fear he would be tasered by the sheriffs.
Magistrate Shane McAnulty found Dunn guilty of three charges – obstructing a sheriff, assaulting a law officer and assaulting a police officer. Mr McAnulty said the assault had not involved battery but he was satisfied the victims had felt an immediate threat.
