Son of Donald George & June Patricia FLAVEL, elder brother to Alan.

From Alan Flavel  7 March 2020:

My eldest brother was driving, they were returning to Sydney for Robert to start back at the Academy on the Monday.

Our Grandmother was in hospital in Cowra, and Robert wanted to see her on the way back to Sydney, which they did.  As they were coming into Blayney on the return to Sydney, a car lost control on a bend and was sideways down the road, this was about 1410 and a School Bus was letting children off on the side of the road…they had the choice to swerve and hit the bus full of kids…or take the impact of the out of control car head-on…. which is what they say Robert demanded,  Robert assisted post-accident in helping both vehicles before collapsing on the roadway and never regaining consciousness…. Robert was pronounced dead in Orange Base Hospital approx. 0130 on Monday 24th September.

A very quiet wedding was celebrated on Monday evening at St. John’s Church, Darlinghurst, the contracting parties being Mr. T. H. Green and Miss Estella Overina Jones Singleton, third daughter of the late Superintendent James Singleton, of Albury, and Mrs. Singleton, of Combooah, Darlinghurst.

The bride wore a pretty cream silk frock, showing a lace tunic, and a picture hat, and was given away by her brother, Mr. Llewellyn Singleton.

Her sister, Miss G. Singleton, acted as maid of honor, and Mr. John Singleton Ross ( cousin ) was the best man.

* There are a few discrepancies with this entry.
The Grave stone clearly states that the date of death is 24 February 1913 BUT the above article about his 3rd daughter – Estella Overina Jones SINGLETON getting married, states ” …… the late Superintendent James Singleton….” – that article being dated 17 January 1912.

LIQUOR LOADING WATCHED BY CONSTABLE

SYDNEY, Wednesday.- A police constable told the Liquor Royal Commission today he had seen beer loaded on a lorry from the cellar of the New Brighton Hotel, Manly.

Constable John Michael Bradstreet, of Manly police, said this had occurred on December 10 at 5.30 a.m. At the same hour, two days later, the lorry was standing outside the hotel again.

The lorry carried the name of West, of Botany. When Cyril Gardner Maloney, licensee of the New Brighton Hotel, was recalled to the witness box, he denied the constable’s allegations.

Maloney also denied being paid £250 in cash for beer by a Riverview cafe waiter. He said he had never seen the waiter.

The Riverview Cafe manager, Lars Egon Samuelson, was questioned on his allegations that in September or October last year he had bought 470 dozen bottles of beer from the New Brighton Hotel.

Samuelson said his books had shown 171 dozen bottles of beer a month under the name “Bert” and 193 dozen under the name of “Mac”.

A certain amount of this beer was accounted for by supplies from the Maitland and Morpeth Hotel. Sussex Street, and Bank Hotel, Newtown, while the remainder had been purchased and delivered to the Riverview Cafe by Victor Phillip Taffa, wine and spirit merchant, of Haberfield, a Mr. Patterson and a Mr. Jones.

When giving evidence before the Commission earlier this month, Ernest Alexander Ireland, managing director of the Riverview Cafe, said he had got beer from the Bank and Maitland and Morpeth Hotels. Samuelson yesterday told the Commission he had made two visits with Riverview employees to obtain bottled beer from the New Brighton Hotel, Manly. The last time was on the Friday before Six-Hour Day, he said.

Asked how he remembered that particular date, Samuelson said he thought it was discussed at the Riverview with one of the staff. He had not tried to get beer from other hotels when he ceased getting supplies from the New Brighton Hotel, Manly.

The Riverview now had 600 dozen bottles of beer in stock. It had come from sources he had disclosed.

He had paid 33/- a dozen to the New Brighton and 35/ a dozen for other black market beer.

Samuelson told Mr. J. W. Smyth, Q.C. ( for the U.L.V.A. ) he had been determined, when he first appeared before the Commission, to conceal where he had got beer, except from Cavill’s, the House of Hayes, Duke of Edinburgh and New Brighton Hotels.

Samuelson agreed with Mr. Smyth that he was determined for some reason to shelter somebody.

Mr. Smyth: There was no reason why you should commit perjury unless you were trying to shelter somebody?

Samuelson: No.

Samuelson said he had realised in the witness box that unless he gave the Commissioner some information he would go to gaol. He admitted that he had to “put someone in” or go to gaol.

Cyril Gardner Maloney, licensee of the New Brighton Hotel, Manly, said he could not understand Constable Bradstreet‘s evidence about beer leaving the hotel on December 10. Maloney said it definitely did not happen.

He said he did not know of any occasion which would involve his sending away large quantities of beer from the hotel. Empty boxes had been sent away.

Cecil Thomas Kinnear, of Sylvania, a waiter at Riverview Cafe, said about five or seven months ago he had picked up between 140 and 150 dozen bottles of beer in cases at the New Brighton and loaded it into two covered wagons. Two men named Sid Moore and Bert Lockwood had been with him.

The beer had been collected on Samuelson’s instructions.

Kinnear said that at the hotel he had told Maloney he was there to pick up liquor for the Riverview. Maloney had replied: ‘I think it’s all ready down below.’

The beer, which was packed in cases in the cellar, was carried to the street by two men.

Kinnear told the judge he paid between £240 and £250. The money, which was in £10 notes, had been counted in Maloney’s presence.

Mr. Justice Maxwell then ordered Maloney to come forward to the body of the court, and asked: “Is that the man ?”

Kinnear: Definitely, it’s the man who got the money.

Mr. Whitlam ( assisting the Commissioner ), then asked Maloney to give his version of the incident. Maloney, who told the judge he had had a good look at the witness, said he had never seen him before in his life.

Judge: You heard the details of his handing you £250 in notes. That did not happen ? Maloney: No.

When Herbert George Lockwood was brought into the court, Maloney said he had never seen him before.

Walter Taylor, secretary of Goulburn and District Trades and Labour Council, said Tooths and Toohey’s beer had not been available in Goulburn hotels for two years.

Mudgee beer could be bought for 4/_ a bottle and Springfield beer for 3/6 a bottle.

He had reported complaints of saloon and lounge bars being open while public bars were shut to the local licensing officer, Inspector Freeman.

However, the police officer had taken no notice.

Taylor said he had heard of people obtaining bottled Tooths and Tooheys beer after hours. He had not reported this to local police because it would have been of no avail.

Taylor said a resolution making allegations against certain members of the police force had already been submitted to the Attorney-General.

Mr. Justice Maxwell said he would like inquiries made because of the suggestion that the police were lax in their duty.

The hearing was adjourned until 2 p.m. tomorrow.

Thank you for acknowledging our Dad on the Australian Police website. It is a wonderful thing for you to do. I have included some additional information about Dad below – I am sorry it has taken me so long to get round to sending you this information.

He was a wonderful man and had some very special memories of his time in the NSW Police Force, especially his time in the country stations.

He is survived by his three daughters – Kate, Sally & MaryJane, and four grandchildren – Annie, Samantha, Jake & Matthew.

He is now with Mum (Pam) who passed away on 23 September 2017.

 

Regards

MaryJane
