NEW POLICE SCHEME

NEWCASTLE WEST NOW LOCK-UP DOOM OF THE BEAT

The introduction of police mobile patrols into the Newcastle district in the near future, will spell the doom of the beat system, which has been in existence for many years.

A direct result of the comprehensive reorganisation of the force, which was commenced immediately the new Commissioner of Police (Mr. Mackay) took office, will be the withdrawal of many officers from suburban stations, which will be converted into lock-ups, each attended by a resident constable.

The first step in this direction was taken yesterday when Sergeant Dean, who is at present on extended leave, and Sergeant Stubbs were transferred to Newcastle headquarters, leaving Constable Dawes in charge.

Similar procedure will be followed gradually at many suburban stations.

As the change proceeds Hamilton will become the base for motor cycles and cars, in which policemen and detectives will tour adjoining municipalities.

CRUISING PATROLS

Call boxes will be established throughout the Newcastle district, from which cruising patrols will report at regular intervals to headquarters. By this means it is hoped to reduce such crimes as housebreaking, as one of the many patrols will be in almost constant touch with headquarters and can be despatched to the scene of a robbery immediately information is received. The quicker moving mobile patrols will make the task of the burglar much more hazardous than hitherto.

It is expected that many of the men will be absorbed in the mobile division, and some others will be transferred to Sydney.

The revolutionary changes to be made are not an experiment. A scheme on the same lines has been put into operation in Sydney, and apparently is giving satisfaction.

SERGEANT SAID HE WAS KICKED

WILD SCENE AT POLICE STATION

The story of a wild scene at Hunter street West police station, in the course of which a police sergeant was kicked in the stomach and had his nose broken by a prisoner, was told at Newcastle Police Court this afternoon.

It was also alleged by a constable, who said he was summoned to the station from an adjoining patrol, that the prisoner hurled a tub at his head.

Thomas Cullen (31), laborer, pleaded not guilty to a charge of having assaulted Sergeant Stubbs, and beaten and otherwise ill-treated him, causing him actual bodily harm, on December 16.

Sergeant Stubbs said that after having arrested Cullen for being drunk, he told him that it had been alleged against him that he had assaulted a man after asking him for sixpence.

Continuing, the sergeant said that when they were within 30 yards of the police station at Newcastle West, Cullen punched him on the head and knocked his cap off.

The sergeant said that he then held down his prisoner by the leg and arm, and asked a passer-by to restore his cap to his head.

Later, while they were going up the steps of the passage way, Cullen kicked him in the stomach.

In the charge room he did the same thing again, so the sergeant, threw him to the floor.

After taking Cullen to a cell, said the sergeant, he was fixing up the prisoner with blankets, when Cullen again kicked him in the stomach and punched his nose, making it bleed.

Subsequently the sergeant was taken by the ambulance to a surgery, and the doctor found his nose was broken.

A FORWARD KICK

To Mr. O’Neill (for Cullen), Sergeant Stubbs denied that he had drawn his baton at any stage. The kick was what would be called on the football field a forward kick. He did not know that Cullen had been treated for severe injuries. He had thrown Cullen in the charge room, and he might have been injured while assaulting other men.

Constable Page, of Wickham, said he found the sergeant sitting down dazed, and bleeding from the nose.

DREW HIS BATON

” When I went to the cell, ” he added, ” Cullen said he would bash my head in if I came in, the same as he had done to the sergeant. ”

” I asked him to hand over the cell tub, and he rushed across and hurled it at my head. It hit the door as I closed It. ”

To Mr. O’Neill, the constable said that he pulled out his baton before opening the cell door.

(Proceeding.)

THE extraordinary cascade of support in Tamworth for medical marijuana continues, with the city’s mayor and top cop rallying behind the cause.

Tamworth mayor Col Murray and Oxley local area commander Clint Pheeney yesterday backed the Haslam family’s political campaign to decriminalise the drug for the terminally ill.

They join a host of other local leaders and medical experts in publicly lobbying the state government to change the laws governing medical marijuana.

Superintendent Pheeney, who has been with NSW Police for 39 years, said the case put forward by the Haslams was “overwhelmingly compelling”.

“I have vigorously pursued drug suppliers for many years and will continue to do so,” he said.

“But this is not about loosening the laws; this is about us as a community showing compassion and understanding to people who are suffering terminal illnesses.

“Many suffer unbearable pain that current ‘legal’ drugs are unable to provide relief for.

“I would ask everyone to ask themselves this question: if you or your loved one was suffering severe pain and other chronic symptoms that could be alleviated by the use of a drug such as cannabis, would you perform a criminal act and use it or obtain it for your loved one?

“I dare to say that most would say yes.”

He said changes to the current legislation, as recommended unanimously by a NSW upper house standing committee last year, with a “rigorous governance framework” should be considered.

Cr Murray backed Superintendent Pheeney’s comments, saying his view had changed in recent weeks.

“I’ve given this a lot of thought and done a lot of research since the debate started and I’ve changed my view to become a supporter (of medical marijuana),” Cr Murray said.

“I’m quite happy to stand beside Clint in public and support his words.

“There’s irrefutable medical evidence that there’s cause to consider this form of treatment.”

But Cr Murray, a staunch opponent of recreational drugs, said medical marijuana would have to be strictly policed.

“I have absolutely zero tolerance for marijuana as a recreational drug; it’s a scourge on our society,” he said.

Local businesswoman Lucy Haslam, whose 24-year-old son Daniel has terminal bowel cancer and found relief from cannabis, said she was overwhelmed by the support.

“It’s great to have the support of someone like Col, and for a senior police officer to publicly make the distinction between medical and recreational cannabis is amazing,” Mrs Haslam said.

A petition calling on the state government to legislate for medical marijuana now has almost 27,000 signatures.

Tamworth leads national conversation on medicinal cannabis

By Kelly Fuller

One of the most conservative seats in NSW will this weekend lead a national conversation on medicinal cannabis

Clint PHEENEY – 24 Nov 2014 – Medicinal cannabis ( Audio file )

It was March this year; a most unlikely family started a most unlikely campaign.

In the court yard of a coffee shop in Tamworth, I sat opposite local Mum, Lucy Haslam and she told me about her son 24 year old Dan who was dying of cancer.

She explained how he had recently found that cannabis offered him some relief to the nausea, vomiting, and poor appetite caused by his treatment.

Since then Lucy, Dan and their family have been on an incredible journey, calling on the NSW Government to adopt the findings of its own upper house parliamentary inquiry and decriminalise cannabis for the critically and terminally ill.

The family’s efforts have since been rewarded with the state government moving to offer its support and promise to run a trial.

The Premier, Mike Baird with also officially open this weekend’s medicinal cannabis symposium organised by Mrs Haslam.

This week on the Morning Show we’ve been finding out more about the symposium.

We’ve spoken to Lucy Haslam about what she hopes the symposium will achieve.

Seven network senior reporter and presenter Helen Kapalos will MC the event. Helen first covered the story for the ‘Sunday Night’ program earlier this year and says she is now determined to see a result.

Dr David Allsop is a Research Fellow in Psychopharmacology and Addiction Medicine at the School of Psychology at University of Sydney. He’ll be providing an Australian perspective on cannabinoid research

Former Australian Federal Police Commissioner, Mick Palmer has also been invited to speak at the forum.

Mr Palmer says the current approach to drug management in Australia is not working.

“The evidence is almost overwhelming, the current prohibition approach to illicit drugs and cannabis has been an abject failure, and to keep focusing on people for using and possessing as if they are criminals, and to deal with that in a criminal way is to avoid the reality of the problem.”

“Supply can be controlled, particularly for medicinal cannabis, the impetus would be for it to be prescribed by medically authorised doctors or pharmacists, and that it would be delivered on a needs basis. To me it is almost a no brainer to deny it.”

“The momentum has started and it is irresistible.”

Green’s Senator, Richard Di Natalie will preview a piece of federal legislation he plans to introduce in parliament next week on legalising medicinal cannabis at the symposium.

He says the system could be modelled on the federally regulated poppy industry.

“A national uniform framework and then it is up to each state to decide whether they opt in to that. We think that it is just common sense that states would prefer to have this legislated nationally, that there is a consistent set of laws, it means that individuals who are using the drug through a prescription from a doctor are exempt from any criminal prosecutions. It means that rather than have state government’s introducing policies around trials and so on that we can go ahead and do this properly in the same ways as we do other medicines.”

He says he’s seeking a chance to brief the Prime Minister,

“It would take months to establish the regulator and so on, but in the end of you do it properly, it will be much quicker than going down the route of clinical trials, I think the evidence is very clear, we know medicinal cannabis is effective for some specific medical conditions like nausea from chemotherapy and so on, and for those conditions, we just need to move quickly.”

In December the Government is expected to reveal compassionate changes to police discretionary powers around allowing people with terminal illness or cancer use of medicinal cannabis.

It is also expected to outline the tender process for at least three clinical trials of medicinal cannabis for adults and children.

The Premier has asked Parliamentary Secretary and Liberal MLC, Catherine Cusack to support the working group developing the government’s response. She says more details will be revealed in December.

The Oxley Local Area Commander, Superintendent Clint Pheeney was a part of the symposium’s law and order panel, he says he has suffered no repercussions since speaking out in support of the Haslam’s earlier this year.

Updated 26 Jan 2015, 2:34pm

A number of community members across the New England North West have been recognised with Australia Day honours.

The list includes cancer specialist Dr Robert Smee, now a Member of the Order of Australia, and Superintendent Clint Pheeney, recognised with an Australian Police Medal.

The Head of the Oxley Local Area Command, Superintendent Clint Pheeney, has received an Australian Police Medal.

The award makes special mention of Superintendent Pheeney’s leadership in the aftermath of the shooting death of Tamworth Highway Patrol Officer, Senior Constable David Rixon, in 2012.

Superintendent Pheeney said that incident was the most difficult time in his career but he was buoyed by the way police in Tamworth rallied together to support one another.

“A leader is really no better than the people around him, and I would have to say that from the most junior Constable up to senior members of the management team, everyone bonded together and supported one another,” he said.

“I was immensely proud that I was their Commander during that period of time.

Commander Pheeney is one of only a handful of NSW Police to be recognised this year.

He said working with the community is one of the best parts of the job.

“With all the negatives and all the bad things that police see, we also see some really good things where, members of the community save other people’s lives or where police have in the past rescued people out of motor vehicles or houses on fire and those people have lived,” he said.

“We see people at their worst but we also see them at their best.”

Superintendent Pheeney joined the NSW Police Force in 1975, and has been in Tamworth since 2008.

Bega tragedy: Killed by his last offer of help, rest in peace Mick Horne

By Ian Campbell 4 June 2018

An offer of help and assistance by retired police officer Mick Horne has cost him his life.

The 54-year-old Merimbula resident died in hospital yesterday following Friday evening’s horrific attacks in Bega.

Mr Horne retired as a Senior Constable in 2009 after serving at Bega Traffic & Highway Patrol Command.

At about 3.30pm on Friday (June 1), 71-year-old Thomas Winner and his 69-year-old wife Gail were stabbed in their East Street home by a man alleged to be their grandson, 20-year-old Murray Deakin.

Tragically, Mrs Winner died at the South East Regional Hospital shortly after, while Mr Winner remains in Canberra Hospital in a critical condition.

In the hour that followed, officers from the South Coast Police District pursued a car belonging to the couple, which was allegedly being driven by Deakin.

At about 4.40pm, Mr Horne, who appears to have stopped to offer assistance to Deakin on Sapphire Coast Drive at Bournda, thinking he was a motorist in need, was allegedly struck in the head with a hammer.

Police allege Deakin then made off with the 54-year-old’s vehicle before crashing it and running into bushland.

A father to one son, Mr Horne was airlifted to St George Hospital where he died early yesterday afternoon (June 3).

Appearing in Batemans Bay Court earlier today via a video link, Deakin did not enter a plea but now faces two murder charges.

Fairfax Media reports the 2o-year-old told the court he was sorry, before speaking briefly of drug and mental health issues.

Police say Mr Horne’s family has asked for privacy and won’t be making any statement to the media.

Speaking to the RiotACT, Merimbula’s Jase Holly says the community has lost one of its pillars.

“I got to know him and his son Tom through the local AFL club,” he says. “He was a doting father and loving husband to Mel, who in recent years fought off serious health issues with the support of Mick at her side.

“Mick was an avid sport fisherman and he loved taking any opportunity for fishing banter! I will always remember one morning when I was towing the boat home and was surprised when the flashing lights of a police pursuit car were flashing behind me. What had I possibly done wrong? Then I saw Mick walking up to the window.

“Not realising it was me, he just wanted to have a good look over the boat as it had struck his eye as “a good bit of gear.” In typical Mick form, he spent about 30 minutes going over all the little bits of customisation taking away a few ideas for his own boat set-up.

“As a cop, Mick was fair without fault, a gentleman in the truest sense of the word and a loving family man. He was a friend to everyone that knew him and I think the last time I saw him summed Mick up perfectly.

“As we waited in the barbers for a haircut, he was ahead of me in the queue but when his time came he let me go first so I could get back to work, it also gave him some extra time to talk fishing with everyone in the room!

“R.I.P. Michael Horne, you died offering help and service to someone in distress. Your legacy will shine in all that knew you.”

Other friends have expressed their condolences and paid tribute via social media.

“Mick Horne you died attempting to protect and serve, being a former police officer. Stopping to assist someone you thought needed help only to be attacked in the process.” – Marie Hart on Facebook.

“He sure was a lovely chap and thought he was doing the right thing and paid the ultimate price. So so sad RIP Mick.” – Rick Stafford on Facebook.

“Thinking of Mick and family so very sad. Prayers of strength and love.” – Andy O’Donnell on Facebook.

“So sorry to hear the sad news thoughts and prayers for Mick Horne’s family he was a wonderful man.” – Evi Scott on Facebook.

Investigations into the incident continue, with detectives from the State Crime Command’s Homicide Squad assisting local police.

Police are urging anyone with information to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or use the Crime Stoppers online reporting page. The information you provide will be treated in the strictest of confidence.

Bega tragedy: Killed by his last offer of help, rest in peace Mick Horne

By Jessica Clifford

Updated yesterday 4 June 2018 at 2:37pm

A man accused of killing his grandmother in the NSW south coast town of Bega last week has now been charged with the murder of a 54-year-old former police officer, who died in hospital yesterday.

Police alleged 20-year-old Murray Deakin stole Michael Horne’s car and attacked him with a hammer, after earlier stabbing his grandparents at their East Street home in Bega on Friday.

Murray Deakin 20-year-old Murray Deakin is facing two counts of murder. — Murray Deakin: 20-year-old Murray Deakin is facing two counts of murder.

Mr Deakin appeared in Batemans Bay Local Court today where a charge of wounding with intent to kill Mr Horne was upgraded to a murder charge.

He spoke via video link.

“I’m sorry, I used psychedelic drugs and I have a family history of schizophrenia,” he said.

The magistrate interjected, telling him it was best to let his lawyer speak on his behalf.

He did not apply for bail and will reappear in court in August.

Mr Deakin had already been charged with the murder of his grandmother Gail Winner, aged 69, who died in hospital after allegedly being stabbed in her East Street home.

His grandfather Thomas Winner, 71, remains in a critical condition in hospital after he was also allegedly attacked by his grandson at his home.

Mr Horne was allegedly attacked by Mr Deakin as he tried to steal his car on Sapphire Coast Drive in Bournda, 20 kilometres south of the initial attack.

New South Wales Police said Mr Horne retired as a senior constable in 2009 after serving in the Bega Traffic and Highway Patrol Command.

The events unfolded about 3:35pm on Friday when a passing motorist was flagged down by Mr Winner.

Witnesses said they saw a man lying on the ground, covered in blood and desperately trying to flag down help.

When emergency services arrived, they also found Mrs Winner, who was critically injured.

She died in hospital after the attack, while Mr Winner remains in a critical condition at Canberra Hospital.

An hour after emergency services became aware of the stabbing attacks, Mr Deakin allegedly tried to steal Mr Horne’s car.

Friends of Mr and Ms Winner told the ABC the couple were kind and that the attack had come as a shock to the small community.

Mr Horne’s family has requested privacy.

Murray Deakin, 20, appeared briefly in Batemans Bay Local Court on Monday charged over the stabbing of his grandparents Gail and Thomas Winner at their home in East Street, Bega, on Friday.

Mrs Winner, 69, died at the South East Regional Hospital and Mr Winner, 71, remains in a critical condition in Canberra Hospital.

Mick Horne, a 54-year-old former senior constable with NSW Police, was allegedly attacked with a hammer during a carjacking in the neighbouring town of Bournda. He died as a result of his wounds in St Georges Hospital on Sunday afternoon.

Police said the rampage began about 3.30pm on Friday when Mr Deakin stabbed his grandparents at their home, before fleeing in their car.

It is alleged that, after abandoning the car in Bournda, he carjacked another vehicle, using a hammer to attack Mr Horne, the driver.

A female passenger in the car escaped without injury.

The incident sparked a five-hour manhunt involving specialist tactical police, negotiators and PolAir.

On Monday, Mr Deakin faced Batemans Bay Local Court via audio-visual link charged with two counts of murder and two counts of wounding with intent to murder. He is yet to enter pleas.

Defence solicitor Keely Boom did not apply for his release on Monday and bail was formally refused.

Mr Deakin told the court he was sorry for his actions and spoke of his history of mental health issues.

“I’m so sorry,” Mr Deakin said. “I have a family history of schizophrenia.”

Mr Deakin went on to tell the court of his history with “psychedelic drugs”, before magistrate Mark Douglass cut him off.

Prosecutor Sergeant Mark Chaplin submitted two forensic procedure applications to the court, which were approved.

Mr Horne was awarded a medal in 2004 for his 15 years’ service with the force.

He has been described by community members on social media as a “wonderful man” and a “lovely chap … who paid the ultimate price”.

Chief Inspector Susan Charman-Horton said on Saturday the rampage was “just a terrible event“.

“The local community would be quite upset by the incident. This is not something that is usual in the area,” she said.

“[Mr Deakin] was unwell [when he was arrested]; he needed to be taken to hospital to be looked at by an expert.”

Mr Deakin is due back in court in August.

Blood and hair samples will now be taken from Mr Deakin.

Mr Horne retired as a senior constable in 2009 after serving at Bega Traffic & Highway Patrol Command, NSW Police said in a statement on Monday.

“The family would appreciate privacy at this time,” the statement read.

The Inspector-General of Police has received with extreme concern the report of the death of Constable Thomas De Coursey O’Brien, which adds another number to the honorable list of the police who have sacrificed their lives in the execution of their duty, the force and the public having in this instance lost the services of a promising and efficient officer.

Mr. Fosbery desires that every respect may be shown at the deceased’s funeral by the attendance of as many of his officers and comrades as can be safely spared from duty.

Mr. Fosbery will be present himself.

STOPPING A RUNAWAY.

A Constable Injured.

In his efforts to stop a runaway this morning Constable O’Brien, of No. 1 Station, was somewhat seriously injured. He was on duty in George-street, and when passing the tobacco shop of Messrs. Craig and Aitken a horse attached to a cart belonging to the firm bolted; owing to someone throwing a cracker in front of the animal.

Immediately the runaway made off O’Brien started in pursuit; and, catching up to the horse, seized hold of the reins, when, through the animal swerving, the constable was struck in the chest by the shaft and knocked down.

Before the officer could regain his feet the wheels passed over his body, and O’Brien was left lying on the ground seriously hurt. On being admitted to the Sydney Hospital the victim was seen to have received one or two very nasty scalp wounds, in addition to being seriously injured about the chest and body.

FUNERAL OF THE LATE CONSTABLE O’BRIEN.

The funeral of the late Constable O’Brien, who succumbed in the Sydney Hospital on Sunday to injuries received the previous day, in a plucky attempt to stop a runaway in George-street, took place this afternoon.

Though only a recent addition to the force, O’Brien had placed himself on the most friendly terms with men and officers alike, and the young fellow’s frank and jovial disposition won what it merited — the high esteem and respect of every comrade.

The funeral, which started from the hospital, was numerously attended, and among those who paid the last tribute to the memory of the deceased were the Inspector-General of Police (Mr. E. Fosbery), Mr. Superintendent Read and nearly all the inspectors of the metropolitan divisions.

About 100 constables walked on foot, preceding the hearse, while about an equal number, including commissioned and non commissioned officers, brought up the rear in cabs and other vehicles. Immediately following the hearse were two mourning couches containing the brother and more intimate friends of the deceased.

Death of former Illawarra police officer Steven ‘Jonno’ Johnson shocks community

Cydonee Mardon

The Illawarra police community is mourning the sudden loss of a well-loved and respected senior community-based cop.

Chief Inspector Steven “Jonno” Johnson, formerly of Lake Illawarra and the Shoalhaven commands died unexpectedly on Tuesday.

“Jonno will be very much missed by everyone he knew,” a long-time colleague told the Mercury.

“He was one of those quirky people who would always put a smile on your face by one of his many stories or passions that he was involved with,” the police officer said.

“I don’t think people realise the amount of work he did for the Aboriginal community, for conservation with his fishing and general community causes. He had a strong passion for fishing and if anyone showed a slight inkling of interest he would have them straight on his boat and take them out.

“Jonno was one of those people who got more satisfaction from doing things for others than for himself.”

Tributes are flowing on Facebook for the 47-year-old officer being remembered “as a legendary and inspirational man”.

Senior Constable Koz Ismail, who worked with Jonno at Lake Illawarra and has produced a video tribute, said his colleague was “a man of endless empathy”.

( see video above )

“He worked for the community, he was an endless supporter of the youth and indigenous youth.

“He was passionate to the case of youth mental health, always put the community and his peers first before himself.

“He was a loving family man, a selfless community man and police officer.”

On 16 January 1867 Constable Fyffe was performing gold escort duty on a coach travelling between Bendemeer and Tamworth.

It is thought that the shaking of the coach caused a rifle to accidentally discharge shooting the Constable.

The wounded Constable was left in a shepherd’s hut while the coach continued to Tamworth to obtain medical assistance.

Dr Scott of Tamworth provided assistance for Constable Fyffe however the wound was to prove fatal and he died the following Thursday.

The Constable was born in 1834 and joined the New South Wales Police Force on 11 August 1857.

Constable William Eiffe memorial unveiled by Oxley police at Bendemeer Cemetery

Breanna Chillingworth

A PERMANENT memorial to recognise a fallen officer has been unveiled near Tamworth on the 150^th anniversary of his death.

Constable William Eiffe died from a gunshot wound to the thigh on January 24, 1867, and is buried in an unmarked grave in the Bendemeer cemetery.

Oxley police together with Tamworth Regional Council – who helped to construct the memorial – commemorated his career in the force in a service on Tuesday morning.

”It’s a great part of the local history to have this recorded and I think it brings some interest in the local cemetery and the history of Bendemeer,” Oxley Acting Superintendent Jeff Budd said.

“And, hopefully for centuries to come, people will be able to come here and look at this and remember what has happened in our past.”

The Singleton-based officer was on a police escort on the night before his death when he was accidentally shot in the leg.

“On the evening of Wednesday the 23rd of January, 1867, there was a gold escort moving through the Moonbi Ranges, approximately seven miles from Bendemeer,” Oxley Sergeant Josh McKenzie said.

“A rain show had caused members of the escort to retreat into the carriage, another member of the escort had handed his rifle to Constable Eiffe, he rested the rifle across his thighs with the butt resting against the side of the coach.

“It is thought that the shaking and bouncing of the carriage has caused the rifle to accidentally discharge, shooting Constable Eiffe in the thigh.”

Constable Eiffe was left at Shepherds Hut nearby and the coach returned to Tamworth.

“Dr Scott of Tamworth was taken to the hut but unfortunately Constable William EIFFE died from the effects of the gunshot wound at noon on the 24th of January, 1867.”

Acting Superintendent Budd said the service was a reminder of how far the force had come in 150 years.

It is thought that the shaking and bouncing of the carriage has caused the rifle to accidentally discharge.

“One of the things that would be a tragedy today is for this to occur and his family to not be supported,” he said. “In the days of Constable William Eiffe, his wife and four children would have been destitute without the support we have today and we should be grateful for that.”

Of Note: Searching NSW State Archives & Records on 14 May 2018:

There are NO surnames of FYFFE

There are NO surnames of EFFE

There are NO surnames of EIFFE

There were no Williams born in 1834

There is no Registered number 1154 on that website. There is 1153 ( Beatty ) and 1155 ( Moloney ) but no 1154

A wildcard search on ‘FFE‘ didn’t reveal any similar names or anyone born in 1834 on THAT website.

Danny Webster notes on 24 January 2017:

He is sometimes referred to as “Fyffe” and “Effe”, however the Registers of Police Employment 1847–1885 provides the spelling as “Eiffe”, his registered number as 1154, the fact that he was married at the time of appointment and that he was a former soldier.

The New South Wales Police Gazettes of 5 March, 1862, 3 April, 1867 (£100 gratuity awarded to his wife), and 3 July, 1867 indicate “Eiffe”.

His death was registered at Armidale as “Eiffe”.

He is incorrectly listed in the official New South Wales Police Honour Roll as William “Effe”.

This was originally recorded as:

Constable William FYFFE

Accidentally Shot

Tamworth

24 January, 1867

On 16 January, 1867 Constable Fyffe was performing gold escort duty on a coach travelling between Bendemeer and Tamworth. It is thought that the shaking of the coach caused a rifle to accidentally discharge, shooting the constable. The wounded constable was left in a shepherd’s hut while the coach continued to Tamworth to obtain medical assistance. Dr Scott of Tamworth provided assistance for the constable, however the wound was to prove fatal and he died the following Thursday. He is sometimes referred to as William Effe.

The Sydney Morning Herald dated 25 January, 1867 reported that news from Tamworth had been received that ” Last evening, Constable Fyffe, on gold escort duty, was accidentally shot in the thigh whilst riding in the coach on Moonby Ranges, seven miles from Bendemere. His rifle accidentally discharged, it is supposed, by the shaking of the coach. He was left at a shepherd’s hut. The escort proceeded to Tamworth, and on its arrival there Dr. Scott was immediately started off. Fyffe died from the effects of the wound at noon today. He has left a wife and large family at Singleton.

The constable was born in 1834 and joined the police force on 11 August, 1857. In 1862 he became a member of the newly-formed New South Wales Police Force. At the time of his death he was stationed at Singleton.
