Remembering a hero: Senior Constable Des Trannore

By Isaac Egan and Phil Staley

Desmond Trannore is more than just a name on a far north Queensland bridge or the name of a Gordonvale police officer; it is the name of a hero who lost his life in the line of duty and saved the lives of two children in the process.

Sergeant Steve Webb has spent a lot of his life researching what happened on that fateful day and descibed the experience to the ABC’s Phil Staley.

Born in Shepparton, Victoria, Senior Constable Trannore came to Queensland to work in the cane fields before deciding he wanted to be a police officer.

“Des couldn’t swim a stroke before deciding to join the police force, so he actually used to jump off the old bridge to teach himself to swim,” said Sgt Webb.

After being sworn in he served at Gordonvale, Cairns, Thursday Island and Brisbane, before coming back to serve in Gordonvale in 1956.

Sgt Webb describes it as a time where in the small farming town of Gordonvale police officers were well known local figures in the community and some like Senior Constable Trannore were something more.

“He was a bit of a knock about bloke, he played Aussie rules and he taught boxing and he was well known to give a few of the young blokes a fair kick up the backside if they played up,” he said.

“He was well respected in that town amongst the young people and the older people, and he still is to this day.”

A dark day for FNQ

On the evening of October 27, 1964 Senior Constable Trannore was on the 4pm to midnight shift alone.

At 5:45pm he received a call saying there was a domestic disturbance on a property at Little Mulgrave.

“Des wrote a note that said ‘5:45pm, domestic brawl, Little’s place, Little Mulgrave’ and left it on the typewriter so that the officer-in-charge would know what was going on if anything happened,” said Sgt Webb.

“You’ve got to bear in mind that in those days radios were pretty well non-existent and there was no such thing as mobile phones.”

Mr Verney had assaulted one of his stepsons and was assaulting his wife.

“Verney had caught Clifford and his sister Karen playing in the creek down the road and he attempted to drown Clifford and he smashed Clifford’s head against the side of his utility,” said Sgt Webb.

“Mrs Little came down and tried to intervene and told Clifford to go to the neighbours and get them to call the police.

“Des arrived at the neighbour’s house where he saw young Clifford and he told him to get into the police car.”

Senior Constable Trannore then drove to the farmhouse and asked Mrs Verney and her daughter to get in the police car.

Mr Verney confronted Senior Constable Trannore, threatened him and repeatedly ordered him off the property before disappearing into the house.

He came back out with a .310 rifle and aimed it at Senior Constable Trannore.

“Desmond turned around, approached Verney with no fear and said ‘that’s it, I’ve had enough, give me the bloody rifle’,” said Sgt Webb.

“And with that Verney pointed the rifle and fired from the hip through Des Trannore’s chest – piercing his heart.

“Des turned and ran 20 metres towards the children and said to them ‘run for your life’ before collapsing to the ground.”

Clifford ran towards the cane fields as Mr Verney lifted his rifle to shoot at him.

“He didn’t get a shot out because Clifford disappeared into the cane,” said Sgt Webb.

Mrs Verney heard the shot and ran outside to where Senior Constable Trannore was lying dying.

She attempted to resuscitate him, but he died at the scene. Mr Verney, meanwhile ,fled in his ute.

When word got back to Gordonvale, one of the largest manhunts in far north Queensland history began.

Around 300 on and off-duty police joined the hunt for Mr Verney as well as a large group of Gordonvale residents.

The following day Mr Verney presented himself at the Cairns police station.

“It is thought that Verney got word of the lynch mob at Gordonvale and surrendered for his own safety,” said Sgt Webb.

John Thomas Verney was charged and later convicted of the wilful murder of Senior Constable Trannore and sentenced to life in prison.

Remembering Desmond Trannore

A quote from an unknown Gordonvale resident in the Cairns Post on Tuesday October 27, 1964 reads:

“[Senior Constable Desmond Trannore] was a terrific man and one of the most popular police officers we have ever had, if they ever brought the killer here I would not give much for his chances.”

A letter by Clifford Little describes the event and praises Senior Constable Trannore as a hero and a man unlike any other.

Here is an excerpt from that letter:

“He died with dignity and kept that dignity to his last breath. Desmond Trannore was a humanitarian. His actions that day went beyond that of a serving police officer. Concern for fellow human beings is the most honourable emotion. It becomes even more commendable when the courage of one’s convictions is carried out. I knew a man that other men could only hope to be.”

Researching the case became a passion of Sergeant Webb and in 2009 he suggested the new bridge over the Mulgrave River be named after Senior Constable Desmond Trannore.

“People should remember who he was and the fact that he gave his life to save a family and he did save that family,” he said.

Media Statements

Main Roads Minister Craig Wallace today announced the new bridge over the Mulgrave River at Gordonvale will be officially named ‘Desmond Trannore Bridge’ as part of Queensland’s 150th birthday celebrations.

“This name is chosen in honour of Senior Constable Desmond Trannore, whose bravery and dedication to both the community and his profession is held in high regard by many Gordonvale locals,” Mr Wallace said.

“Mr Trannore was a well respected police officer and member of the Gordonvale community, where he was stationed throughout most of the late 1950s and early 1960s.

“He was heavily involved in community activities – teaching boxing at the local youth club and running the Gordonvale Pony Club, Aussie Rules, tennis and cricket clubs.

“Mr Trannore was tragically killed in the line of duty in 1964 while attending a domestic dispute at Little Mulgrave, north of Gordonvale, and this bridge naming is a community tribute to his bravery.”

Mr Wallace said the bridge name was chosen from more than 50 nominations received across the community.

“It is wonderful to see the Gordonvale and greater Cairns community getting behind this Q150 initiative,” he said.

Mr Wallace said members of the Trannore family will join local members and representatives of the Cairns community in celebrations to officially commission and name the $48 million bridge on Thursday, 17 December.

Jim Turnour, Federal Member for Leichhardt, will join Curtis Pitt, State Member for Mulgrave, on the banks of the Mulgrave River to officially commission the $48 million bridge and unveil the new name sign for the bridge.

“The new bridge is a valuable and vital piece of road infrastructure for Far North Queensland,” Mr Turnour said.

“It will reduce the duration of closures due to wet season flooding and better serve to stabilise the local economy by keeping communities connected all year round.”

The new bridge is part of the Rudd Government’s commitment to improving flood immunity and accessibility between Cairns and Townsville.

“The new 480-metre-long bridge, which opened to traffic in April this year, ahead of time and under budget, is providing significant benefits for far north Queensland.

“Standing five metres higher than the existing bridge and located on a better road alignment, this bridge will limit disruptions to residents and motorists during the wet season by minimising delays caused by wet season flooding.”

The bridge was just one component of the Australian Government’s $347 million Accelerated Bruce Highway Upgrade Package, delivered by the state government.

The majority of works have been delivered, with remaining projects to be completed in early 2010.

Mr Wallace said naming the new bridge over the Mulgrave River after Desmond Trannore recognised the integral role people have in building a community.

“We have chosen a name that recognises an important local identify and also reflects community spirit and local history,” he said.

“This is what the Q150 bridge naming celebrations are all about – Queenslanders having their say on what makes our state unique and being able to recognise these things through the naming of significant road structures.”

Queensland Police Service remembers fallen colleagues during Cairns march

KATELIN and Kieren Trannore never got to meet their grandfather, but yesterday the Queensland Police Service showed them just how exceptional his sacrifice was.

As the rain came down, the 16-year-old and 14-year-old marched with their dad, Shane Trannore, Aunty Karen Trannore, and Cairns police as part of National Police Remembrance Day.

The Trannores’ father and grandfather was recognised at this year’s Cairns service for the 50th anniversary of his death.

“I didn’t know much about my grandfather except that he died in the force and just being here is really nice, I am really proud,” Katelin said.

Katelin said it was overwhelming to be part of the day which honoured her grandfather.

“It was, just being part of the march and walking down the street,” she said.

“It was amazing, I really enjoyed it.”

Senior Constable Desmond Trannore was stationed at Gordonvale in 1964 when he attended a domestic disturbance and was gunned down while he was trying to get the mother and the children medical attention.

Senior Constable Trannore’s daughter, Karen, who was only a child when her father was killed, said it was a great honour to be there.

“It was very important and quite emotional to march with the officers,” she said.

“It’s such a hard job to do and I respect each and every one of them and they always have our support.”

Just under 80 Queensland Police and Australian Federal Police officers marched in the parade.

Acting Chief Superintendent, Brett Schafferius said the dangers involved in policing were always in the back of officers’ minds.

“Today is the most important day on the policing calendar, it is the day we get to recognise and remember the sacrifice police women and men have made over the past 150 years of policing in Queensland,” he said.

“We acknowledge our job at times can be inherently dangerous, that’s why we are here, we are here for the community and to attend those matters on their behalf.”

The names of the 140 fallen police officers were read out during the service.

There are about 850 sworn officers in the Far North district and about 1050 employees overall.

Over the past 150 years, 25 fallen Queensland officers have been from the Far North district.

Chicka Moore RIP

Brian Reginald MOORE, Brian MOORE, Chicka MOORE, Constable MOORE, Sergeant MOORE

Brian ‘Chicka’ Moore passes away Monday, 27 October 2014 12:44

The Newtown Jets have lost one of the most iconic figures of their 108-year history following the passing of former player, coach and Team of the Century member, Brian ‘Chicka’ Moore.Mr Moore passed away from a long illness yesterday aged 70. Newtown Jets director and media manager Glen Dwyer says Moore will forever be remembered by the Henson Park faithful for his significant contribution to the foundation club.”For the baby-boomer generation, Chicka Moore was the living definition of Newtown,” Dwyer tells RLW.”He never had the privilege of being in a premiership winning first-grade side or playing in a Test match, yet no one who saw him in his prime would deny that he was one of the best centres of the period.”He was a tall, long striding, majestic running centre. In the days where men were starting to grow their hair longer Chicka with his bald head was a landmark at Henson Park.”His combination with fellow centre Bob Keyes was marvellous and I’ve heard lots of judges say that if Reg Gasnier and Graeme Langlands weren’t around, Brian Moore and Bob Keyes would have been the Australian Test centres without doubt.”Moore played for Newtown during a difficult period, with the Bluebags only making the finals three times during his 11-year career. However, there were a couple of highlights to savour.Arguably the finest moment of his career came in 1973 when he almost single-handedly helped Newtown to a remarkable comeback win over St George in the final of the 1973 Wills Pre-Season Cup.

“Newtown were down 15-2 at halftime and the heat was horrendous,” says respected rugby league historian Terry Williams.

“They won 17-15 and that was largely on the back of Chicka. He basically took St George on on his own. In attack he cut the Dragons to pieces out wide and when they had the ball he became a road block.

“In that form he could match any centre in the world.”

Moore represented NSW on three occasions between 1963 and 1970 and was Australia’s top tryscorer during the 1967-68 Kangaroo tour, despite not playing in any Tests.

Unfortunately, he had the misfortune of coming through in the same era as RLW Immortals Bob Fulton, Reg Gasnier and Graeme Langlands and probably didn’t represent Australia as much as he should have.

A Newtown man through and through, Moore also held the distinction of being the Jets’ last-ever first grade coach taking the reins for the 1983 season following Warren Ryan’s resignation.

A respected police officer, in 2008, Moore was inducted into the NSW police Team of the Century while in 2009 he was awarded the NSW Police Medal for diligent and ethical service during his 29-year career in uniform.

“For all his footballing achievements he probably affected more people’s lives in his role as a physical instruction trainer at the police academy,” Williams says.

“There’s a whole generation of young coppers for one or two decades who were put through their paces by Chicka.

“He used to wipe the floor with all these young blokes who were 20 years younger than him.”

“He was just a really memorable character,” Dwyer continues.

“He was a marvellous personality and a great ambassador for the Newtown club.”

Newtown Jets legend Brian ‘Chicka’ Moore dies after long battle

October 27, 2014 6:18PM AAP

Newtown legend Brian ‘Chicka’ Moore has passed away at the age of 70.

ONE of the Newtown Jets’ rugby league players of the century, Brian `Chicka’ Moore has died following a long battle with illness.

Moore was a great of the now defunct NRL club, playing with the blue bags from 1962 until 1973 and also coaching the Jets in 1983.

Six years after he was named at centre in Newtown’s Team of the Century, Kangaroos international Moore passed away aged 70 over the weekend.

“Chicka was a player with an incredible try-scoring record,” said the NRL’s head of football, Todd Greenberg.

“In his 173 matches for Newtown, he scored 90 tries; that highlights what a player he was. In full flight, he was simply magnificent to watch.

“He was also a Kangaroo tourist and represented NSW, and then coached Newtown during its final year in the NSWRL.

“In 2008, he deservedly found a home at centre in Newtown’s Team of the Century. He will be missed by the game which he served so magnificently.”

Colonial Secretary’s Office.

Sydney, 2nd March, 1863.

His Excellency the Governor, with the advice of the Executive Council, has been pleased to appoint John W. Orridge, Esq., Inspector of Police, to be Acting Superintendent, and to the charge of the detective police force.

The Maitland Mercury & Hunter River General Advertiser Saturday 7 March 1863 page 6 of 8

DEPLORABLE ACCIDENT.— It is our painful duty to record the occurrence of a very serious accident to J. W. Orridge, Esq., the Superintendent of Police. He was proceeding to Major’s Creek on Saturday afternoon last, in company with Dr. Moreton, and was riding up to Durham Hall, the residence of Mr Hassall, at Jembaicumbene, when his horse shied at something and bounded off into the bush, rearing and plunging in a furious manner. The ( horse ) was very spirited, and Mr Orridge had that day for his first time, we believe, ridden him with a curb upon the bridle. Whether it was in consequence of the pulling too heavily upon the curb, or from whatever cause the animal while rearing up, fell right over on his back and came with his full weight upon Mr Orridge to the ground, crushing him in a dreadful manner. The horse immediately scrambled up and made off, Mr Orridge’s feet having got clear of the stirrups, and he being left mangled and bleeding in an insensible state. Dr Moreton immediately procured assistance from Mr Hassall’s and the sufferer was removed there, where he has since remained, and where he has had the most assiduous care and attention.

Dr Pattison and Dr Moreton have been in constant attendance upon him, and everything has been done for him that human efforts can do, but we regret exceedingly to state that very little hopes are entertained of his recovery. The full weight of the animal came upon his body and the internal injuries which he has sustained are of such a character that it will be a miracle if he gets over them.

The horse,which was shortly afterwards recovered, was found to have scarcely injured himself at all, and so completely did all his weight rest upon Mr Orridge, that the saddle was not damaged in the slightest degree. The horse prior to Mr Orridge purchasing him, had been in the possession of the bushranger Thomas Clarke, during a portion of his career on the highway.

The sad event has cast a gloom over the whole town and district wherever the intelligence has been conveyed. How forcibly are we sometimes reminded of the terrible import of the scripture precept, that in the midst of life we are in death, and that we know not what a day may bring forth.

THE LATE SUPERINTENDENT ORRIDGE.

( See portrait on page 6 )

John Waistell Orridge was born at Carlisle, in Cumberland, England, in June, 1830, reached Victoria in 1853, and shortly afterwards entered the police force there, obtaining rapid promotion to the rank of sub-inspector owing to his efficiency and courage. When the police force of this country was reorganised in 1862 Mr. Orridge was offered and accepted the position of inspector, being promoted to be superintendent at Braidwood in 1864.

The notorious Tommy Clarke managed to escape from Braidwood Gaol, where he was awaiting trial for horse-stealing. This escape put Mr. Orridge on his mettle, and for years he and his police were in pursuit of Clarke and his gang, then becoming very numerous. Murders and encounters with the police followed in rapid succession, bushranger after bushranger being shot. Houses were stuck up, stores robbed, and the whole district was in a state of terror. Clarke’s career of crime culminated in the murder of four men, warders of Darlinghurst Gaol, who volunteered to try and capture the outlaws, urged thereto no doubt by the reward of £500 offered by the Government. Finally Tommy Clarke and his brother surrendered, and to Mr. Orridge’s great relief were safely incarcerated in Braidwood Gaol, and afterwards forwarded to Sydney, where they expiated their crimes on the scaffold.

Subsequently Mr. Orridge was appointed to the charge of the escort of the Duke of Edinburgh, and was at Clontarf when Farrell made his attempt at assassination, and with difficulty prevented some of the leading men of the colony from stringing up the latter to the yardarm of the steamer.

Mr. Orridge was afterwards removed to Armidale, and in 1887 was transferred to Goulburn, where he died on the 11th instant. In 1871 he married the second daughter of the late Mr. Hugh Gordon, of Manar, near Braidwood, who with her two sons and two daughters survive him.

The Late Superintendent J. W. Orridge.

John Waistell Orridge was born at Carlisle, in Cumberland, England, in June, 1830, reached Victoria in 1853, and shortly afterwards entered the police force there, obtaining rapid promotion to the rank of sub inspector owing to his efficiency and courage.

DEATH OF SUPERINTENDENT ORRIDGE.

GOULBURN, FRIDAY.

Mr. J. W. Orridge, superintendent of police in the Goulburn district, died last evening. He joined the police service in 1862, and took charge of the Sydney depot as acting superintendent. In 1864 he was appointed to Braidwood, and took a prominent part in dealing with the Clarke gang of bushrangers. In 1870 he was transferred to Armidale, and in 1887 he came to Goulburn to succeed the late Superintendent Morrisset. Superintendent Orridge was popular with the men under his control, whom he encouraged in the pursuit of athletic sports. He leaves a widow, two sons, and 10 daughters. The funeral was attended by the Inspector-General of Police.

Orridge, John Waistell (1830–1894)

from Clarence and Richmond Examiner (NSW)

Mr. John Waistell Orridge, senior superintendent of the New South Wales police force, died at Goulburn at the ripe age of 63. During his connection with the police, extending over 31 years, Mr. Orridge was admired by the police and public. Previous to joining the New South Wales force, Mr. Orridge held the rank of sub-inspector in Victoria, but when the present Inspector-General took charge of the police department, well knowing the high qualifications of Mr. Orridge, he induced that officer to come over the border, and when Mr. Orridge entered on his duties he was placed in charge of the detective police, and made such headway that on January 1, 1864, he was appointed superintendent. He continued in charge of the detectives for some time. His first country appointment was at Braidwood, and he was in charge of that extensive district during the time the Clarkes held the country in terror, and it was under Superintendent Orridge’s directions to the courageous troopers under him that the brothers were run to earth. From Braidwood Mr. Orridge was transferred to Armidale, and at the death of Superintendent Morrisset in September, 1887, he succeeded to the charge of the Goulburn district, where he has since been stationed, and has done his duty well, and has now ended a life marked by great success. The deceased officer ranked next to the Inspector-General, Mr. Fosbery, who had known him ever since they joined the Victorian police together.

Captain R. Zouch, Superintendent of Police in the Goulburn district, is dangerously ill.

The Gundagai Times Tuesday 23 October 1883 page 2 of 4

DEATH OF CAPTAIN ZOUCH.

THE people of Goulburn heard with sad surprise on Monday morning that death had claimed for his own one of the oldest residents of the city – Captain Henry Zouch. For some two or three weeks the deceased gentleman had been ill ; but as it was circulated that his condition was improving fears for him were allayed, and his recovery was generally looked for. This being so, the news of his death came with a greater shock. It was on Saturday morning that the deceased gentleman became worse, and throughout the day he remained in a dangerous state, being hardly conscious. Sunday saw no improvement, but on the contrary he became lower, and was unconscious the greater part of the day ; and in the evening at 6 o’clock he breathed his last. His illness was brought on by exposure to the sun, which he experienced last Friday fortnight whilst tending to his garden, of which occupation the Captain was very fond. To the effects of that exposure, and to decay of the system, his death is attributed. The Captain was in his 73rd year, and has resided in New South Wales for about 50 years.

The following, which is taken from Mr. J. Henniker Heaton’s “Australian Dictionary of Dates, and Men of the Time,” gives an outline of his career :

Zouch, Captain Henry, son of Colonel Zouch, commander of a British regiment during the last American war of 1812-14, was born in Quebec, where his father was for some time commandant. When a young man, Mr. Henry Zouch repaired to England, and received his education in the military college at Sandhurst. In 1826 he obtained a commission as Ensign in the fourth or ” King’s Own Regiment.” After serving in several garrison towns in England, he came out to the colony of New South Wales with his regiment. In those days every convict ship was conducted and guarded hither by a detachment of troops. Captain Zouch was appointed in 1834 to the first division of the military mounted police, stationed at Bathurst. There were then three divisions, one at Bathurst, one at Goulburn, and one at Maitland. He was despatched to the Bogan to find the remains of Richard Cunningham, the botanist, and succeeded in doing so, and a tablet was erected on the spot. On the fourth regiment proceeding to India Captain Zouch sold out. He was for some years engaged in pastoral pursuits at Ashly, Lake George. On the discovery of gold at Ophir, and the consequent rush thither, he received the appointment as Gold Commissioner at the town, where he remained until 1853, in which year he accepted the post of Superintendent of Mounted Patrol for Main Roads. This position he retained until the mounted patrol was amalgamated with the general police under Police Act of 1862. Since then Captain Zouch has remained in charge as General Superintendent of Police for the Southern Districts. He has the excellent qualification of always obtaining the confidence and esteem of the men under his control. During the bushranging era and on many other occasions Captain Zouch was distinguished for his courage, foresight, and ability. He has at various times during the absence of Mr. Fosbery fulfilled the duties of Inspector-General of Police.

The captain was a man universally respected and liked. Actuated partly perhaps by disinclination for it, and prevented maybe by pressure of official duties, he never figured prominently as a public man. For some years he occupied the honorable position of president of the Goulburn Hospital, and he was also for a great length of time a warden of St. Nicholas’ Church. With all classes of the community he has always been a favorite, rendered so by his gentlemanly demeanour and his quiet mode of life ; for, meddling not with things which did not concern him, he was one of those of whom it might be said –

[blockquote]Along the cool sequestc’d vale of life He kept the noiseless tenor of his way. [/blockquote]

He was of a most benevolent disposition, and was full of a charity that loves to exercise itself in unostentatious acts of benevolence. To the appeal of suffering he never turned a deaf ear, but was ever ready to relieve those who came to him in genuine distress. To that no doubt is to be attributed his great popularity amongst the poorer classes, who lose in him a friend they will find it hard to replace.

As an officer the captain was one of the most efficient in the public service. His career was one of honor, and he has never had one of his decisions questioned. To the men under him he was at once just and considerate; and in their great respect for him is one of the strongest proofs of his worth as a man and a superior.

Captain Zouch’s near surviving relatives are a widow, four sons, and three daughters.

Before opening the business of the Police Court yesterday, the Police Magistrate said he regretted to learn-last night the death of Captain Zouch, a late member of the Goulburn bench of justices, and an officer of the crown for 50 years in this colony. It was usual, he believed, to show respect to the memory of deceased gentlemen in such cases, by adjourning courts with which they had been connected, but on the present occasion this custom could not be well adhered to, as it would prove detrimental to the public business. Be could only therefore express the regret of the bench to learn of the deceased’s death.

The funeral takes place this afternoon at four o’clock.

BEFORE His Honor the CHIEF JUSTICE.

NEW MAGISTRATE.

In the course of the day, Edric Norfolk Vaux Morrisset, Esq., was sworn in a Magistrate of the territory of New South Wales.

The Sydney Morning Herald Wednesday 2 March 1853 page 2 of 6

Mr. E. V. Morrisset, Superintendent of Police in the southern districts, accompanied by Mrs. Morrisset, arrived in Braidwood ( says the Dispatch ) on Monday from Goulburn. Soon after his arrival, the Superintendent ( with Mr. Walter Casey, Sub-inspector ) paid a visit to the gaol, and was highly pleased at the manner in which the prison arrangements are being carried out by Mr. Luke Densy, as well as the extreme tidiness and cleanliness of the cells and the establishment generally. The police barracks were also examined, and every thing found to be in tip-top order.

Southern Argus ( Goulburn, NSW ) Monday 2 November 1885 page 2 of 4

Intelligence from Goulburn.

Mr. E. V. Morrisset, Superintendent of Police and Deputy Inspector-General, died yesterday morning at his residence here. Deceased was son of the late Colonel Morrisset, who, in his time had charge of the convict establishment at Norfolk Island. Deceased filled the position of Police Superintendent at Bathurst and Maitland prior to his appointment to this district, which took place about the end of 1883 shortly after the death of Captain ( Henry ) Zouch.

Deceased was in his 57th year. As an officer he was thoroughly conversant with his duties, and knew how to discharge them, so as to win both the confidence and esteem of his subordinates.

Mr. Morriset had been in bad health prior to his death. The disease which affected him is known as Addison’s disease.

The Inspector-General of Police is expected here by to-nights train.

Evening News ( Sydney ) Saturday 27 August 1887 page 4 of 8

THE LATE E. V. MORISSET.

IT is with extreme regret that we have to announce the death of a very able and popular officer of the police force in the person of Mr. Edric V. Morisset, superintendent of the Southern police district, and deputy inspector-general of police, which took place at 4 o’clock yesterday morning at his residence, Goulburn. The deceased had been for some time ailing, but, from the nature of his complaint, it was not thought that fatal consequences would be the result. He, however, took a change for the worse a few days since, and gradually sank until the vital spark departed at the hour mentioned. We may mention that the deceased had been in charge of the North-western district for nearly twenty years, his head-quarters being at Maitland; and during the whole of that lengthy period he discharged his duties, both as a public officer and as a private citizen, in a manner which gained for him universal approbation. Upon the introduction of the new Police Act in March, 1862. Superintendent Morisset, who had previously held the rank of inspector in the Queensland native police, received the commission of superintendent under that law, and since that time up to his death he was an active officer, and administrator of police improvement. Some few years ago upon the death of Captain Zouch, superintendent of police at Goulburn, the deceased received the appointment of Deputy Inspector-General of Police, and was transferred from Maitland to Goulburn. It is sad to relate, in connection with the deceased, that it is only a few months since his brother, Adolphus Morisset, police magistrate at Deniliquin, died.

Superintendent Morrisset had been married for many years, but had no issue, He was about 55 years of age, a native of the colony, and was a son of the late Colonel Morisset, well known in the early days of the colony. The country has sustained the loss of one of our most zealous and intelligent officers by the death of Superintendent Morisset. The deceased was a lover of manly sports, such as horse-racing, hunting, shooting, etc.

Newcastle Morning Herald & Miner’s Advocate Saturday 27 August 1887 page 6 of 12

DEATH OF SUPERINTENDENT MORISSET. – For some time past the state of health of Mr. Edric N. V. Morisset, superintendent of police for the southern district, has been a source of anxiety to his friends. He was suffering from an uncommon disease known as Addison’s disease of the kidneys, and during the past week or two his illness had become so serious that hope of his recovery had been abandoned. We regret to record that the fears entertained of a fatal issue were sadly realised, and that Mr. Morisset passed away at an early hour yesterday morning, at his residence, Marston, North Goulburn.

The deceased gentleman was fifty-seven years of age and had been many years in the public service.

He was born in Norfolk Island, his father being Colonel Morisset of the 48th Regiment, commandant in the island and afterwards police magistrate at Newcastle and Bathurst.

Mr. Edric Morisset entered the colonial service in February 1853, and was commandant of native police in Queensland, at that time known as Moreton Bay and forming part of the colony of New South Wales. On the separation of Queensland in 185 he remained in the service there, and in 1860 was appointed inspector-general of police. About two years afterwards, for climatic reasons, he resigned this post and came to New South Wales, where in March 1862 he was appointed superintendent of police for the western district ; subsequently he was transferred to the Maitland district ; and shortly after the death of Captain Zouch, superintendent of police for the southern district, which occurred in October 1883, he was appointed his successor, a position he retained till his death.

He was married to Miss Lawson, daughter of the late Mr. William Lawson of Prospect, who survives him, but he had no family.

It is interesting to note that Mr. and Mrs. Morisset were brought from Norfolk Island as children by the late Captain Zouch.

Mr. Morisset was brother to the late Mr. R. R. Morisset, police magistrate of Deniliquin, whom he visited in his sickness and whose death a few months ago had a strong effect upon him.

At the time of his death Mr. Edric Morisset was the oldest superintendent of police in the service. He was a somewhat strict disciplinarian, but well liked by the men under his command. In private life, he was unostentatious and charitable. He was fond of sport and a good shot. He was formerly a promoter of the Northern Hunt Club, and tried to inaugurate a similar club here, but failed to enlist general support to the movement.

His funeral will take place to-morrow afternoon at the Church of England cemetery.

During the illness of Mr. Morisset his duties have been performed by Inspector Brennan of Yass, who remains in charge temporarily.

Goulburn Herald Saturday 27 August 1887 page 4 of 8

The late Superintendent Morisset.

THE funeral of the late Mr. Superintendent Morisset took place on Sunday afternoon last. The morning was dull and threatening, and shortly after noon rain fell most copiously. Not withstanding this a large company took part in the sad ceremonies. The procession moved from “Marston” about half-past three, being headed by six mounted troopers under the charge of Sub-inspector Casey, Braidwood. The coffin came next, and was borne to the church by six members of the police force. Many tokens of respect in the shape of wreaths were placed upon the shell. Four other members of the police, under the command of Sub-inspector Fenton, and twenty-one warders from the gaol, under Deputy-gaoler Graham, followed the body. Amongst the chief mourners were the brother of the deceased, Mr. H. Morisset; the Inspector general of Police, Mr. E. Fosbery; Captain Battye, Albury; Inspector Brennan, Yass; and Mr. T. K. Abbott, Sydney Stipendiary Magistrate. In the procession were many of the leading townspeople. The Bishop of Goulburn read the opening part of the burial service at St. Nicholas’s, and the procession then proceeded to the C.E. cemetery, where the service was concluded.

Like his namesake, hero police dog ‘Carts’ slain on duty

By Gemma Jones
The Daily Telegraph
December 10, 2007 12:00AM

A POLICE dog named after a slain officer was stabbed to death yesterday morning after successfully cornering a fleeing suspect.

Senior police yesterday paid tribute to veteran Police Dog Carts, who was raised by police and named after murdered officer Constable David Carty.

Carts and his handler Senior Constable Brett Williams, were called to Corrimal Surf Life Saving Club north of Wollongong just after 3am yesterday following reports of a break in. Two offenders allegedly fled the scene when police arrived, with officers apprehending one of the men. The second alleged offender, an 18-year-old Balgownie man, fled and was chased by Carts into nearby bushes and cornered.”It will be alleged Police Dog Carts was stabbed with a sharp implement and later died in a veterinary hospital from his wounds,” a police spokesman said yesterday. “On this occasion, Carts was not wearing a vest as there was no indication of those people on the premises having any weapons.”

Special stab proof vests were brought in after Police Dog Titan was stabbed to death three years ago but Carts was not wearing one because it was believed the alleged offenders were unarmed.

Titan was the first police dog to be stabbed in the line of duty. His killer Luke Graham Curtis was last year sentenced to seven years jail over the killing.

Chief Superintendent Wayne Benson said Carts had served NSW Police with honour and in his final act had secured the arrest of an alleged offender.

“Without doubt he served with honour, he has performed his task, that was what he was trained for and tragically he has died,” Supt Benson said.

He said Carts death also highlighted the terrible loss of Constable Carty who was murdered at Fairfield in 1997.

“The death of David Carty still lives on in all our memories and whether it is this incident or any other, it is just the nature of police work,” Supt Benson said.

Carts’ first handler Sen-Constable David Williamson last year paid tribute to the special connection between his charge and Constable Carty when he took Carts to a memorial service.

Both alleged offenders were charged with aggravated break and enter and take conveyance without consent of owner.

Carts‘ alleged killer was also charged with kill or seriously injure animal used for law enforcement and use weapon to resist arrest. He was refused bail and will face court today.
