The Tumut Advocate and Farmers & Settler’s Adviser      Tuesday  23 September 1924     page 4 of 6

A very pretty but quiet wedding was celebrated at the Sacred Heart Church on Thursday, when Neil Gordon Featherstone was united in holy bonds with Emily Olive Granland. The bride’s parents recently resided at Bongongo, but for some time past have been living in Cootamundra. The bridegroom is in the police force, and stationed at Crookwell.

THE LOST BOY FOUND

Sergeant Featherstone, of Urana, and Senior Constable Spence, of Albudy, were engaged, during the week,  in searching for a youth named Russell Binns, who is employed at Coonong Station. He was missing for several days, and the police officers were more than pleased to have found the youth safe and well after their intensive search.

LICENSING COURT    

To-day a Licensing Court was held at Lockhart, Mr. J. A. Scobie Licensing Magistrate presiding.

The next matter was an application by Albert G. Ziebell, licensee of the Railway Hotel, seeking the withdrawal of an order for the demolition of the premises.

Mr. Smithers, solicitor for the owners, Tooth & Co. Ltd, pointed out that, because of present building restrictions, the application had been placed before the Court. His clients, realizing that renovations were necessary, had planned to spend £1000 on renovations and he tendered the plan and specifications to the Court.
There was, no doubt, that demolition of the premises would have to be carried out later on.
The Court agreed to the withdrawal of the demolition order, but the owners must send the District Licensing Inspector (Sergt. Featherstone ) a copy of the plans and specifications so that he could certify in due course that the renovations were carried out.

Singleton Argus ( NSW )     Friday  16 September 1949     page 4 of 8

NEW SERGEANT KEEN ON SPORT

Sergeant Neil Featherstone, who took up duty this week as officer in charge and prosecutor for Singleton Police, is a keen sportsman. Since he joined the force 24 years ago, he   has mainly been appointed to Western N.S.W. districts,   including Broken Hill, where he played A grade tennis. Mrs. Featherstone who is also a keen tennis player, has not turned her attention as actively towards golf as her husband has. Since taking up the game Sgt. Featherstone has reduced his handicap to 20 and is looking forward, he said, to playing on the inviting Singleton course.

Only one of the three Featherstone children, four-year-old daughter, Julia, accompanied them to Singleton. An elder daughter, Eula, is nursing at Wagga Base Hospital and a son, Maurice is in the Railway Department in Sydney.

Sgt. and Mrs. Featherstone are looking forward to long and happy associations in Singleton.

I first published this Memorial on the 15 May 2013.  Revisiting it today ( 28 June 2018 ) sent me back to the NSW Police Cadet website and check out those NSW Police Cadets before him ( 1 – 5 ).

#1 was Leo Parmeter CARTER  –  Not in 1968 Stud Book

#2 was Athol MacKintosh McPHERSON  –  Not in 1968 Stud Book

#3 was Alexander McDONALD  –  Not in 1968 Stud Book

#4 was Norman Allan SOUTER  –  Not in 1968 Stud Book

#5 was Frederick William TERRY  –  Not in 1968 Stud Book

 

In the 1968 “Stud Book” there is no mention of those 5 Cadets.  All 6 of these above blokes, together with another 6 blokes ( below ), were the very first NSW Police Cadets in the newly formed system who all walked into the Police Academy on the 12 June 1933.

# 7 was Victor Thomas DAVIS  –  Not in 1968 Stud Book

# 8 was Herbert Frederick NORTH  –  Regd # 4104 ( Sgt 1/c in 1968 )

# 9 was Edgar John Franks FISHER  –  Not in 1968 Stud Book

# 10 was Robert Michael THOMAS  –  Regd # 4026 ( Sgt 1/c in 1968 )

# 11 was Allan Cameron NISBET  –  Regd # 3975 ( Sgt 1/c in 1968 )

# 12 was Edgar Russell William WILLIAMS  –  Regd # 3917 ( Sgt 1/c in 1968 )

As of this date, none of the above – other than Ron Worboys, has been listed as deceased and would now be in their 90’s.

Where are the very first Cadets of the NSW Police Force and what type of careers did they have?

POLICE SOLVE LOCAL MYSTERY  

Cootamundra police were called on yesterday morning to unravel a mystery find by employees of Holme’s Bakery.

Two of the employees, on their way to work at about 7am, found in the lane behind the bakery a man’s watch, hat, packet of cigarettes, tobacco pouch, pencil and a small purse, lying near a pool of blood.

Fearing foul play, they called the police, and Detective Senior Constable Worboys and Senior Constable Lynch were quickly on the scene.

After making exhaustive enquiries with Constable Hickson, the property was identified as belonging to a 46 year old man who said that he had been drunk the night before and must have fallen over and forgot to pick up his belongings.
