ALCHIN.—May 31, 1931, at the Royal North Shore Hospital, Donald Alexander Sheperd Alchin, beloved husband of Margaret and dear daddy of Bryan.
At rest.
ALCHIN. —The Relatives and Friends of Mrs. MARGARET ALCHIN and SON, BRYAN, of 1 Dudley-avenue, Roseville, are invited to attend the Funeral of her beloved HUSBAND and his FATHER, Donald Alexander Sheperd Alchin (late detective-sergeant); to leave Christ Church, Lavender Bay, THIS AFTERNOON, after a service commencing at 2 o’clock, for Church of England Cemetery, Northern Suburbs, per Motor Service.
Detective-sergeant Donald Alchin died at the Royal North Shore Hospital yesterday at the age of 52 years.
Detective-sergeant Alchin Joined the police force in 1907, and served a short period in uniform before being transferred to the plainclothes branch, and then to the Criminal Investigation Branch.
He was very successful as a detective, and played a leading part in solving a number of crimes, most important, perhaps, being his work in securing the clue which led to the arrest of an Italian gang at the Commercial Banking Company’s branch in Castlereagh-street a few years ago.
The gang was arrested red-handed on the premises.
Detective Alchin is survived by Mrs. Alchin and a young son.
The Interment will take place in the Northern Suburbs Cemetery this afternoon, after a service at Christ Church. Lavender Bay, commencing at 2 o’clock.
One hundred policemen in uniform marched at the head of the funeral of the late Detective-Sergeant Alchin, through the streets of North Sydney yesterday, the cortege being nearly half a mile long.
The pall-bearers were Detective-Sergeants Ryan, Eaton, Garlick, Regan, Mackie and Wilson, and others present included Superintendent Mackay, C.I.B., Inspectors Pattinson ( representing the Commissioner of Police ), Scott, Mortimer and Prior, and ex-Inspector Young.
Rev. Frank Cash held a short service in Christ Church, Lavender Bay, before the funeral moved off, and at the graveside, at Northern Suburbs Cemetery, the Masonic funeral service was conducted by Wor. Bro. W. Whitehead. W.M.. Lodge Glebe, assisted by Bros. G. S. Jackson. P.M.. F. H. Williams. P.M.. W. Kilner. S.M., and W. Andrews, treasurer.
Recognised as a man who knew more about foreign criminals and their methods than anyone in the Criminal Investigation Branch, the police force lost one of its cleverest detectives by the death, after a long illness, of Det-Sergeant Donald Alchin.
If ‘Don’ Alchin had done nothing else of note in a career of over twenty years, he would have been entitled to the great reputation he had in the C.I.B. for his work in the sensational arrest of Lucci ( ” The King ” ) and his famous gang of Italian cracksmen.
Australia has never known a gang so daring, so cunning, and so successful in their operations, as the Italian of whom Lucci, son of an Italian police chief, was leader.
Using giant cutters and tools which opened safes as if they had been made of tin, the gang brought off coup after coup, outwitting detectives at every turn. Det.Sergeant Alchin was the man who finally got on their tracks, and after weeks of relentless search finally ran them to earth.
It was Alchin who learnt of their plans to rob a Castlereagh Street bank, and he was the leader of a posse of detectives who arrested the gang at revolver-point just as they were about to set to work on a strong-room confining thousands of pounds.
Alchin brought to book many foreign criminals, mainly Italians, and was an expert on coining cases.
( The Police Band will be in attendance at the funeral which leaves his residence, Dudley Ave, Roseville, for the Northern Suburbs Cemetery this afternoon. )
Inscription: Sacred to the memory of Richard Bodily ( Note there is only 1 ‘L’ in the surname )( Gravestone has yet another spelling ” Bodiley “, A Native of Penzance in Cornwall, England. Chief Constable of Scone, who departed this life on the 7th May 1854 ” from the effects of a Pistol Shot accidentally received in the discharge of his duty “. Aged 33 years.
The chief constable was accidentally shot while escorting two prisoners to the Scone Police Station. As Chief Constable Bodilly and another constable were en route with their prisoners a pistol discharged, wounding the chief constable in the knee. Although he was conveyed to Scone for treatment, he succumbed to his wound and passed away on 7 May, 1854.
The coroner’s verdict following an inquest at Scone on 8 May, 1854 indicates that death was caused by the “accidental explosion of a pistol”. It appears he was succeeded at Scone by Chief Constable Hugh Brien Murray. The Maitland Mercury and Hunter River Advertiser of 10 May, 1854 reported the incident.
“ACCIDENT – A few days since one of the Muswell Brook constables was sent to the neighbourhood of Scone in search of two men, for whose apprehension warrants were issued. The chief and another constable of Scone also went in search, and apprehended the men, and whilst escorting them to the lockup, by some means or other the chief constable’s pistol went off, and the ball lodged in his knee and fractured the bones. He was conveyed to Scone, and attended by two doctors, who endeavoured to extract the ball, but could not do so.”
At the time of his death the chief constable was aged 33 years and was stationed at Scone.
He is not listed in the official New South Wales Police Honour Roll.

Wagga Police mourn death of Chief Inspector Anthony (Tony) Madigan
Police officers came to honour the memory of chief inspector Anthony Madigan, who died on Tuesday after a long and decorated career in the force.
He will be remembered for his unwavering work ethic and dedication to his community, evidenced by the vast collection of medals that were on display at his funeral on Friday.
During his career he was awarded some of the highest honours a police officer can receive, including the Australia Police Medal and National Police Service Medal for his lifetime’s accomplishments.
The medals were distributed among his family members, who will be keeping them to remember the long-lasting impact he made on the community.
His wife Wendy Madigan will be remember him as a dutiful family man who always found ways to make time for his five children and five grandchildren.
“He was a loving husband, an amazing father, and a really amazing grandfather,” Mrs Madigan said.
“He was also a very humble man; he never bragged about anything.”
Mrs Madigan was married to Mr Madigan for 58 years, but she still remembers the first time they met as though it were yesterday.
The two of them first locked eyes on each other in Sydney when they were only 19 and 20 years old, and they would quickly fall in love and end up sharing lifetime together.
“I was introduced to him by a friend of mine who was a police officer and, as they say in the classics, the rest is history,” Mrs Madigan said.
“The 58 years went in a heartbeat.”
Mr Madigan’s son Brendan Madigan he took some consolation knowing that his dad lived a good life right up until the very end.
“Mum and dad had a love of travel over the last 25 years, so they enjoyed a lot of overseas travel together and they shared a lot of memories,” Brendan said.
“He was a great father.”
Chief Inspector Paul Smith said Mr Madigan was “a policeman through and through”, and that his death was a loss to the entire NSW Police Force.
“Tony approached life and his career as a police officer with determination, confidence, and enthusiasm,” Inspector Smith said.
“At the end of his career Sergeant Tony Madigan had provided over 36 years of outstanding service to the NSW Police Force and the community of NSW.”

Under-Secretary.
GEORGE’S RIVER. – Lease No. 10107; Charles David Hilaire; parish of Sutherland, County of Cumberland; about 10 acres. Quibray Bay, lying outside oyster lease No. 7345. 10 years. (1h-179)
Charles David Hilaire, of Willington Street, Arncliffe, was committed for trial in the Coroner’s Court yesterday on a charge of having feloniously slain Stanley Kevin Hawkins at Brighton-le-Sands on June 21. Hilaire was the driver of a car which collided with Hawkins’s bicycle.
The City Coroner, Mr. Oram, fixed Hilaire’s bail at £90.
Three occupants of a car stated in the Coroner’s Court on Monday that they had driven on after the car had hit a youth on a bicycle in General Holmes Road, Brighton-le-Sands, on June 21.
The City Coroner, Mr. Oram, found that the youth, Stanley Kevin Mawkins, formerly of Fleet Street, Carlton, had died as a result of injuries received in the collision and that the car driver, Charles David Hilaire, of Willington Street, Arncliffe, had feloniously slain Hawkins.
The Coroner committed Hilaire for trial, and allowed bail in £80. ”
Evidence has shown that the bicycle was dragged fully 60 yards from where the body lay on the roadway, ” Mr. Oram said: ” The fact that Hilaire did not stop is consistent with him having a number of drinks before the accident. ” Hilaire, in a statement, said that just after the accident one of the passengers had told him to go back. He went to turn back, but said: ” No, we will go on. I don’t think it, is serious. ”
He seemed to lose his nerve and was afraid to return to the scene of the accident.
Frank Joseph Butler, and Richard Leslie Bell, friends of Hilaire‘s, both said in evidence that they had had about seven drinks each before the accident.
They and Hilaire were sober when the accident occurred. Hilaire had appeared dazed after the accident. The three men had reported to the police the following morning.
( Hilaire reported to Kogarah Police Station and the matter was Investigated by Detective Sergeant George MILES of Hurstville )
” It seems a shocking thing that three young men should drive away, after a car had collided with a cyclist, without inquiring as to the condition of the victim of the collision. In this case the boy’s body was found 60 yards away from his bicycle. ”
The City Coroner ( Mr. E. T. Oram ) made this remark after inquiring into the death of Stanley Kevin Hawkins, 18, a G.P.O., mechanic, of Fleet street, Grafton, who was killed in General Holmes Drive, Brighton, on June 21.
Charles David Hilaire, laborer, of Willington Street, Arncliffe, was committed for trial by the Coroner on a charge of manslaughter.
James Morris Dew, 17, apprentice, of President Avenue, Kogarah, said in company with Hawkins he was riding his bicycle along General Holmes Drive on June 21 when something hit him on the shoulder. ” I looked up and saw a car going round a bend travelling very fast. I saw Hawkins’ bike come out from under it but the car did not stop, ” said Dew. ” I went over and saw Stan lying on his back. I called him by name, but he did not reply. ”
In an alleged statement to the police, Hilaire said that he was driving along the road with two friends, Dick Bell and Frank Butler, when he noticed the cyclists immediately in front of him as he rounded a bend.
One rider was on the right side of the roadway and the other on the left. He couldn’t go around them, but he could see there was room to go between.
Lost His Nerve
Just after the accident, one of the passengers said, ” Go back, ” the alleged statement went on. ” I went to turn the car at Bestic Street to go back and then I said, ” No, we’ll go on, I don’t think it is serious. ”
” I can’t explain my feelings after the accident happened; I seemed to lose my nerve and was afraid to return to the scene of the accident, ” the alleged statement proceeded. ” I had hardly any sleep that night. I was too worried. The next morning I did not get a paper, but Frank Butler and Dick Bell came to my place and one of them told me that the chap I had hit was killed. ”
Richard Leslie Bell, laborer, Maunder Street, Regent’s Park, and Francis Joseph Butler, laborer, Clarence Street, Bankstown, passengers in the car, stated that they called upon…….. He seemed to be slumped over the Wheel in a daze.
Constable Douglas Lechlightner, of the Safety Bureau, said that when he inspected the scene of the accident he found the dead lad lying about 60 yards from his bicycle and approximately midway between two electric light poles.
Charles David Hilaire, 47, labourer, was acquitted at the Quarter Sessions ( Darlinghurst – Court 2 ) of a charge of the manslaughter of Stanley Kevin Hawkins, l8, who was riding a bicycle at Brighton-le Sands on June 21, 1941, when a car driven by Hilaire collided with it.
Charles David Hilaire, 47, labourer, was acquitted at the Quarter Sessions of a charge of the manslaughter of Stanley Kevin Hawkins, aged 18 years, of Fleet Street, Carlton, who was riding a bicycle at Brighton-le-Sands on June 21, 1941, when a car driven by Hilaire collided with it.
For failing to stop his car and give assistance after an accident in General Holmes Drive, Brighton-le-Sands, on June 21. Charles David Hilaire, 47, labourer, Willington Street, Arncliffe, was fined £10 by Mr. Atkinson, S.M.. at Kogarah Court last Thursday.
On a charge of driving a car negligently he was fined £2. Constable Scott said Hilaire attempted to drive between two approaching cyclists, one of whom was struck by the car and killed. Hilaire failed to stop, but gave himself up next day.
Shane was injured in a helicopter accident and never fully recovered from those injuries. He was living in Lismore when he passed. His funeral was at Bangalow and he was a skilled artist.

Paul, unfortunately, was still suffering from work related PTSD – even after Retiring from the NSW Police Force.
He collapsed, at home, whilst suffered a heart attack.
His daughter-in-law, Bree, bravely performed CPR until the Paramedics arrived, who then took over CPR and transported him to Coffs Harbour Hospital however Paul did not respond to the treatment and passed away at the Hospital a short time after arrival.
It is hoped that he did not suffer.
May Thornys family remember the good times and know that they did everything possible when needed.
Thorny ” bled blue ” and being part of the Police Force meant the world to him – as too, did his family – even through the darkest hours.
May Thorny forever Rest In Peace.
