The Lockup-keeper at Lang’s Crossing-Place, Norton, about ten days ago whilst not in very sober state, left his quarters at night with a candle in his hand and has not been heard of since. It is imagined he may have walked into the Murrumbidgee. (Sydney Morning Herald, 25 December 1860)
The body of Police Constable Norton was found in the river after the Albury had passed up, the disturbance caused by the paddlewheels probably caused the body to be freed from submerged snags. (SMH, 8 January 1861)
The Argus ( Melbourne ) Wednesday 26 December 1860 page 7 of 8
SUICIDE AT HAY. – On Wednesday, the 12th inst., the body of John Norton was found floating on the Murrumbidgee, opposite the crossing yards at Hay. It was very much decomposed, so much so as almost to preclude identification, yet many swore to it as his body. A watch and ring were discovered on the person, and recognised as Norton’s.
A magisterial inquiry was held by the police magistrate, when the facts detailed in my communication of the 11th inst. were elicited. The conclusion arrived at was, ” that the deceased, while in a state of temporary insanity, produced by excessive indulgence in ardent spirits, committed suicide by drowning himself.”
Norton was of a very respectable family in Ireland, and had not been in the colony more than three years. – Southern Courier, Dec. 21.

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.

Article Published in Liverpool RSL Sub-Branch Magazine.
Born at Cootamundra on the 29th. January 1925, the elder of eight children of Australian born parents of English and Irish decent.
Ron’s early childhood was on his parent’s property at Yeoval NSW, where he recalls helping trappers at night to collect rabbits.
Due to a major bushfire that ravaged the area in 1933, The family and remaining stock moved to a second property at Quandialla NSW, A wheat and sheep district where they remained for many years.
His schooling was at a one-teacher school near a Rail Siding called Berendebba, there were on average, sixteen pupils attending class 1st. to 6th.:Ron managed to gain a bursary.
At the outbreak of war in 1939, and still a youth of fourteen he witnessed almost every able bodied man in the district going off to war, For the next couple of years, Ron shore sheep, lumped wheat, fenced and became a general rouseabout.
During 1942 at the age of 17 years six months, he enlisted in the RAAF, after a medical at Parkes and interviews at Sydney, he was informed of a long waiting list before eventual call-up.
Now 18 years he managed to enlist in the AIF in l 943,Basic training was at Bathurst, then on to Canungra Jungle Training for the gruelling Infantry course, Ron volunteered for the Commando Course to follow.
Joining the newly formed 6 Div. Cav. Commando Regiment on the Atherton Tablelands, Ron allotted to 10 Commando Sqn. Sailed with 7 and 9 Sqn on the Katoomba as vanguard for the 6″‘ Division Aitape-Wewak campaign in New Guinea.
A bitter and costly campaign fought for days behind enemy lines, Culminating in the surrender of general Adachi, being present at the surrender Ron felt very fortunate.
On returning from New Guinea and spending some weeks in Concord Hospital, His discharge finally completed, Ron applied and was accepted into the NSW Police force, He was stationed at Leichhardt, Lithgow, Regent Street and Camperdown, Fate took over when Ron on behalf of the Police service went to Victoria Barracks to borrow Walkie Talkie sets for crowd control, The then Col.F. Hassett convinced him that by returning to the regular Army with the rank,his pay would double; The Police Certificate of Service says Very Satisfactory.
Posted to 13 National Service Battalion at Ingleburn as an instructor in 1951, Ron remained there until posted to Japan and then on to 1 RAR Korea as Regimental Police Sgt. Returning with the Battalion in April 1956 to Enoggera Barracks QLD.
Still with I RAR posted to Malaya in Sep. 1959 to Nov. 1961, Returning to Holsworthy NSW, remained as R P Sgt, and Mess Secretary/Treasurer until his discharge on 17 Jan. 1963, as pre arranged Ron again elected to join. the Commonwealth and later Federal Police Service.
After some years and tiring of shift work and double shifts, He decided to call it a day_ Resigning with a Certificate of Service marked Satisfactory.

And Finally: STATEMENT FROM THE MAN HIMSELF:
MY RECOLLECTIONS OF THE END OF WW2.
As a member of the 2/6 Cav. Commando Regiment comprising 7,9, l 0,Commando Squadrons, We had taken part in the whole of the Aitape-Wewak New Guinea campaign by the 6th.Division.At this time my 2/10 Squadron was occupying a place called Cape Karawop just north of Wewak which had recently been taken after a major battle.Cape Karawop was supposed to give us a rest after a five months continued action, including an amphibious landing at Dove Bay south of Wewak, The Japanese were moving down from the Mountains to our coastal holiday home, they would attack at night with grenades and rifle fire.To us this unofficial War carried on for several nights after we had been told the Japs had surrendered, I can recall our chaps yelling out “The war is over you silly bastards”. From our Unit History “To The Green Fields Beyond” by Shawn O’Leary, I have made the following interesting extracts covering the period.8.15am 6th August 1945, 1 st Atom bomb dropped on Hiroshima.11 am 9th August 1945, 2nd Atom bomb dropped on Nagasaki12th August 1945,Sydney’s crazy celebrations could be heard on our Signals wireless.9.14am 15th August 1945,the single code word NEON was flashed around the globe to confirm the unconditional surrender of Japan, Sydney again went wild, from a platform in the Domain Jack Davey entertained an audience of 150,000.The Commandos took stock of their losses in the campaign, 48 killed 119 wounded, They had killed 778 Japanese taken 23 prisoners and found 363 dead, Our last casualty was on the 18th. “August 1945, A young 19 year old killed by one of our own booby traps while checking for Japanese infiltrators. On the 22nd August 1945 General Adachi advised that Japanese troops had been ordered to cease fire but not to lay down their Arms.On the 13th September 1945 General Adachi formally signed surrender documents on the Air strip at Cape Wom before Major General H.C.H Robertson.Having served the whole of the Campaign and being present on the surrender parade, I was most grateful and proud to have survived WW2

Murray POWELL
Friends and family attended the funeral of retired police sergeant Murray Powell at St Kevin’s Catholic Church in Bangalow yesterday where he received full police honours in a moving ceremony.[/caption]
Policeman devoted to family
Dominic Feain | 5th Jan 2012 4:00 AM
HUNDREDS gathered at St Kevin’s Catholic Church in Bangalow to farewell long-serving Byron Bay police officer Murray Powell yesterday.
A sergeant at Byron Bay for 25 years, Mr Powell received full police honours in a moving ceremony commemorating his life and 40 years of service to the NSW Police Force.
The widely respected officer died this week after losing his battle with pancreatic cancer. He worked for five months following his diagnosis despite being told not to, reluctantly retiring in October.
Former Richmond Local Area Commander, now New England Local Area Commander, Superintendent Bruce ‘Bluey’ Lyons remembered his mate with whom he shared his first beat with as probationary constables in the early 1970s.
He praised a man who he said served in the most difficult role, and most important rank, in the force – that of a general duties sergeant.
“We walked the streets of Chippendale and Redfern together,” he said.
“He left behind many footprints filled with camaraderie, dedication and commitment, and the most important footprints were those dedicated to his family.”
Mr Powell is survived by eight children, two from his first marriage and six from his second, to Petria.
Retired Byron Bay Inspector Owen King remembered his colleague, Muzza, as one of the proudest fathers he knew – one who was constantly regaling workmates with his children’s exploits.
“It seemed like he was always expecting a baby,” he said fondly.
“He’d come in saying Petria was expecting again, then again.
“After he moved from Bangalow to Clunes the children kept coming after that – it earned him the nick name the ‘Bangalow Bull’.”
Mr King commended Mr Powell’s composure in the most stressful of policing situations and remembered his now famous morning teas.
“Woe betide anyone who brought in a prisoner during morning tea,” he quipped.
“It was his duty to keep the place ticking over and he was so fussy people used to say ‘he thinks he owns the place’.”
Mr King remembers a man who “took it all in his stride” and embraced the advice to “not count the days, but make the days count”.
“Muzza old mate, you’ll be sorely missed but your suffering is over and you’ve gone to a better place,” he said.
The funeral procession to Eureka Cemetery was led by two highway patrol motorcycles before family, friends and colleagues gathered at Clunes Hall for “one last morning tea”.
