Halahan wrote We embarked on board the "Hurricane", an iron clipper ship, commanded by Captain Johnson (he was Captain in the Naval Reserve), a good seaman, and a kind, considerate commander. .. My sister and myself were the only first-class passengers. In the second there were about thirty, a curious lot from all parts of the world. I (They landed in two life boats amid sharks), losing everything I possessed (including, implements, art tools, books, jewels, family plate, manuscripts, testimonials, etc., with the exception of a telescope). My sister fortunately had a cheque on the Melbourne Bank safe on her person. Thus I landed in the New World, half clad and penniless, with life to begin over again, when I thought I had just attained ease and comfort.

A man in such condition is not always welcomed even by his nearest relations ... Seeing my sister comfortably settled in her new home (she had come to Australia to be married), I felt myself to be one too many, and sought for employment in all those branches in which I was proficient. But without testimonials and minus a single implement necessary for my profession, it was little wonder that I was received with suspicion, and my story of the loss of everything in the 'Hurricane', with scarcely veiled sneers.
In a very short time I saw it was hopeless. ... Feeling it was wiser to leave Melbourne, as I had connections there, and had no wish to distress them with my presence, or let them know to what a state of poverty I was reduced, I managed by a chance piece of work (copying it was) to get together the price of a passage to New Zealand, and landed at Wellington. There I found things somewhat worse than in Melbourne. Literally no work to be had. I went also to try my luck at gold-digging. One morning I landed at Graham's Town and Shortland, half towns, half mining camps, the possessor of a pair of blankets, a few shillings, and a heart somewhere in my boots...

The Hurricane arrived off the Heads on the 21st and took on pilot Kennedy at 6 p.m. While entering the following morning at 8 a.m. she struck lightly on the Lonsdale Reef. Soundings were taken in the forehold but no water was found. However, when the vessel was approaching Arthur's Seat she started to dip by the head and soon after foundered. The passengers took to the boats and were taken to Melbourne by the tug Titan. which was not far away at Queenscliff at the time of the accident.

     Wed August 30, 1854. The Case of Mr F Dunbar.
The case of Mr Frederick Dunbar, who some time ago was removed from the Clerkship ot Petty Sessions at Wellingrove, was recently brought under the notice of the Legislative Council by Mr. Parkes. Mr. Dunbar, it appears, reported to the Government what he conceived to be an impro-
priety in the conduct of two of the magistrates-Messrs. Wauchope and Burges-while on the bench. Some correspondence ensued ; the result of which was that the magistrates were authorised to dismiss Mr. Dunbar from
his office. Mr. Dunbar disputes the justice of his dismissal; but what he more especially complains of is, that he has been refused information as to the cause of his dismissal ; and the object of Mr. Parkes's motion was, to obtain copies of all correspondence between the Government and the Bench of Magistrates at Wellingrove having reference to the removal of Mr. Dunbar from his office.
This motion-not in itself an unreasonable or unjust one - was strenuously opposed by the Colonial Secretary, because Mr. Dunbar " must have some very disagreeable qualities," " was always quarrelling with the magistrates
with whom he came in contact," had made a most " unfounded accusation"
against the magistrates,and was, in short, of a very malicious person." All this may be true, and yet it forms no justification for refusing to produce the correspondence asked for; indeed, so far as the Government and the magistrates are concerned, the charges now made against Mr Dunbar by the Colonial Secretary are strong additional grounds for supplying the papers, because they imply that Mr Dunbar had richly earned his dismissal. The person accused of these offences, and who has been punished for them, has at least a right to know the grounds on which the charges are made, and the evidence tendered in support of them : according to ordinary mies of justice, he ought to have been put in possession of them, and heard in reply, before sentence was passed upon him. The refusal now to produce the papers warrants the suspicion that their production would disclose matters which the Government would much rather keep secret.
We must confess that we are surprised that in the Legislative Council so large a majority as 19 to 7 should have supported the Government in their determination not to produce the correspondence with the Wellingrove bench. The refusal to supply information of this nature is an unusual course for the Government to adopt; but hitherto, when they have adopted it, the Council have been more disposed to coerce them irto compliance than to abet them in their refusal.
     The Armidale express of 11 April 1857, reported that he raced a horse at Wellingrove.

The petition of Frederick Dunbar, Freeholder of Stonehenge, New England :- Humbly sheweth :- That petitioner has been subjected for years past to a series of oppressions by certain individuals holding the Commission of the Peace, on account of his exposition of their ill practices, by which your petitioner hoped to contribute towards a reformation in the administration of justice, as already partially exhibited to your Honourable House in a Petition presented during the present session by the Hon. Member for Sydney, Henry Parkes, Esq. ... That Arthur Hannibal Macarthur, Esq., one of the recently appointed magistrates of this district, now entitled Glen Innes, did, on the 1st day of November 1859, issue a certain written order under his hand as magistrate, directed to the Chief and other Constables of the said district, to take your Petitioner's wheels off his bullock dray, and to hand them over to one James Hanna, - the said Arthur H Macarthur having acted thus upon the mere "ex parte" and one-sided statement of the said James Hanna, and without either issuing a summons for your Petr to appear before the Court of Petty Sessions, or in any way calling upon your Petr for any explanation of the case - which unjust order was forthwith acted upon; and your Petr has thereby been subjected to severe pecuniary loss, to the value of about £200, in that he has been thereby prevented from drawing in the fencing materials required for a farm he bought last year from Government, at Stonehenge, consisting of 41 acres; 8 acres of which were under cultivation - 7 in wheat and the remainder in potatoes and other crops, and partially fenced - all of which have been totally destroyed by cattle, in consequence of this oppressive and unjust act, Petr having no other dray on his farm to enable him to get in his fencing materials; beside which, your Petr has been obliged to forfeit a contract for wheat with a gentleman of this district. That your Petr submits for consideration of your Hon. House that, exclusive of the pecuniary loss to him, the injury to his character - if an act so evidently opposed to all law or justice should be suffered to remain unatoned for - would be likely to be most prejudicial, for it may be considered tantamount to a charge of felony against your Petr. Your Hon. House will, Petr is assured, taking into consideration the imminent danger to the interests of the community at large if Magistrates are permitted to do such things with impunity; and after due inquiry, your Hon. House will direct that copies of the order in question, and the one-sided statement upon which it was issued, and which your Petr has applied for in vain, may be furnished to him, and afford your Petr such redress as to your Hon. House may appear to be just and right. ... Frederick Dunbar, Stonehenge, 26 Dec 1859..
