31893 10 Jan: RESIDENT MAGISTRATES COURT . — Charles Crocker
v William Barnard. Claim, £2 15s, for balance of wages, with costs 11s.
Plaintiff gave evidence, defendant did not appear. Judgment for
Plaintiff
24 Apr 1893:BANKRUPTCY COURT- R. G Bauchope, Esq
, Official Assignee
William Barnard New Plymouth butcher - Statement: "I arrived in New Plymouth from Christchurch about June, 1883 and bought Bishop's butcher's business. I was in partnership with my brother-in-law, David Edgington, and between us, we had between £500 and £600. The partnership continued for about 18 months and I paid David about £100 for his share when he left - I can't say the exact sum, as I did not keep a cash book. I have not kept one at any time and have had no other books of accounts except what I have given to the D.O.A. I also have not had a bank account since March 1890. I shall look for the former bank books to give them to the Assignee. I sold my butcher's
business to Mr W. Bayly in February, 1889, for £102 19s 6d. and the money
was paid to Mr N King on my account. My reason for the sale was
because the business had not been paying for about
two years previous. I attribute my present position to my losses in the
butcher's business and to horse racing. I don't keep any books, and
from the injuries I received on my head about 18 months ago I am unable to
concentrate my thoughts to think out particulars.
I have no property
except what is in my schedule, and no assets outside the book debts.
I have Mr Cunningham's account which I believe it is correct
but cannot say so for certain.
During the two years
July, 1888, to September, 1890, all the money I received, except for
that
paid for current
expenses, passed through Mr N. King - his statement of accounts is
produced. I was in his debt for £393 3s 10d and paid this with
£150 from my wife, who raised the money by mortgaging her house in
Morley-street; by £90 from James Hooker and I borrowod £200 from
Mr Drake on a bill of sale over everything I had. After I settled my debt with Mr King I had nothing
left, and carried on horse racing with money advanced in the first
instance by James Hooker and afterwards by Mr Cunningham.
I have read the
account rendered by James Hooker - it seems to be correct, but he
gave no credit for half the winnings less expenses of the horse
Tattler, or half of the price for when he was sold. The receipt
produced by J. Hooker for £50 for Tattler, dated December 1, 1890, is a
bogus receipt - he did not pay me the £50. The receipt
was made out before Hooker lent me any money so that it could be
produced in the event of any protest being lodged for improper
nominations. I bought Tattler
from Gus Sole for £40 and paid for it by the proceeds of a joint
promissory note at 3 months by Hooker and myself, and discounted by Mr
Curtis . Before the bill became due, the horse won a race at Turakina
races of £55, with which we met the promissory note and divided the
surplus.
He should give
me credit for the amount received from Mr J.C. George for the goodwill of
the lease of the farm at Warea, which, Mr George told me was
£15, and the balance received from the sale of the bracelet to the
Taranaki Jockey Club.
I was unable to pay
any interest to Mr Druke who sold the horses in the bill of sale by
auction. They brought very low prices - the mare Jenny selling
for eighty guincas - she was good value for £200; the horse Jerome only
realised £24 - he cost me fully £100, and the other two were also sold at
a loss.
1893 - May 2:
MEETING OF CREDITORS. Bankruptcy Taranaki Tuesday -
General
Meeting Before R. G. Bauchope, Esq., Creditors present: Messrs D. Teed, sen., E.
Marfell, C. Crocker, W. Perry, James Hooker, Harris Ford, and W. Walton.
The bankrupt Barnard was then sworn.
The D.O A. read out
a statement of assets and liabilities and opened the meeting to any
creditor to ask bankrupt questions.
Mr Teed said that
none of the accounts were legally written off in the ledger; no
account was marked with a date when paid, but only had "pd" put opposite
the account. He wanted to know if bankrupt kept a cash book. Barnard
replied that he did not keep a cash book and put his accounts 2
years ago into Mr Corkill's hands to collect. Mr Bauchope said that Mr Corkill had collected £1
5s. Bankrupt said that he had a claim against Mr. Teed's son for spoiling
his horse.
Mr Jas. Hooker asked
when Mr Cunningham's account would be produced and Mr
Bauchope said at the next meeting. Mr Hooker
said that bankrupt had a horse
and buggy for about three months before bankruptcy, but they had
disappeared since.
Barnard replied that
the horse, buggy, and harness belonged to Mr Searle, of Eltham. The buggy
was now undergoing repairs.
To other questions
from Mr Hooker, the bankrupt stated that he had no racing saddles except
those in the bill of sale to Mr Drake; the cow had belonged to Mr Cunningham, who gave
him it's use if he provided Mr Cunningham with milk. Mr Hooker wanted
to know where Mr Cunningham bought the cow.
Mr Hooker asked
about an oat crusher not in the list of assets. Barnard said he sold
the oat crusher and a Taranaki Jockey Club debenture to Mr M. Cunningham
about 18 months ago however the crusher was still on his wife's
property, and was used for Mr Cunningham's horses. Mr Hooker said that
there was a truck of firewood and a ton of potatoes that were not
accounted for by bankrupt and Barnard said the potatoes and firewood
were obtained by Mr Cunningham in lieu of cash for serving mares
and he gave the potatoes away to small creditors and that
Mr H Ward got two sacks. Mr Hooker said that the disposal of
the potatoes was preferential and Mr Bauchope replied that he would
look into the matter.
Mr Hooker said that there was a horse bankrupt rode
however Barnard said the horse was Mr Cunningham's. Next, Mr
Hooker enquired about two gold rings, which he himself once held as
security but Barnard said he sold the rings "to buy tucker for his
house." When asked "who to?" he was told to a fellow named
Turner, from Hawera and he bought sugar and flour and also sold his
watch and chain to buy food for his house. Mr Bauchope asked bankrupt to supply a list of his transactions and said he would adjourn the meeting, and would take the bankrupt's private depositions in matters connected with the estate, and call on Mr Cunningham for his account. The meeting adjourned till Tuesday next, at 2.30 o'clock. 1893 10 May: BANKRUPTCY. TUESDAY, May 9. - Before R.
G Bauchope, Esq., D O.A. MEETING OF CREDITORS. The adjourned meeting of
creditors in W. Barnard's estate was held at 2.30 o'clock. There were
present : Messrs M. Cunningham, Jas. Hooker, G. Curtis, V. Walton, and W.
Walker, William Barnard. Mr Hooker said that according to bankrupt's private
depositions Barnard said he signed a promissory note with himself to
pay for Tattler, and that Mr Curtis had discounted that bill. Mr
Curtis said that he had never discounted a bill signed jointly by Messrs
Hooker and Barnard. The bankrupt now remembered the bill was signed by Mr
Hooker only - the bill was taken up with the stake that Tattler won at
Turakina. Mr Hooker said that he signed the bill to pay Barnard for
Tattler and gave Barnard £50 for the horse. The bill was for £42, and
he had money at his command to make up the balance. 1894 - 21 May: Before His Honor Mr District Judge Kettle. APPLICATIONS FOR DISCHARGE. In re W. Barnard. - Mr
Kerr on behalf of William Barnard, horse trainer, applied for an order of
discharge.
Mr Bauchope said
there were no assets in the estate - he had examined bankrupt however
he was not clear on certain matters on account of his
having sustained injuries to his head about two years ago. There were
no creditors present.
Mr Kerr stated that
bankrupt had owned a valuable mare for which he had refused 500 guineas,
but which, through an accident, was subsequently sold for £80.
Mr Kerr also stated that
bankrupt had also had bad luck in having to sell another horse at one
third its value, and a trip to Napier to compete in a race had also ended
disastrously.
His Honor said:
Bankrupt has been engaged in hazardous and speculative transactions, the
loss fells on his creditors, and now before the Court he asks to be
allowed to go scotfree.
Mr Kerr contended
that bankrupt had experienced misfortune, and was entitled to an order of
discharge.
His Honor said it
was not a question of misfortune, but fairness between bankrupt and his
creditors.
Barnard said he had
given up all his assets to the D.O.A. He attributed his bankruptcy first
to a match that Mr King had arranged for his mare Jenny, by which he lost
£70, and also to ill-health. He gave up his butcher's business in 1889,
and paid the money he obtained to Mr N. King. He was in debt to Mr King at
the time. His mare broke down the day before the Napier Park Cup, and this
was a severe loss.
The only creditor
who had opposed him was Mr Hooker, yet his contra-account was more than Mr
Hooker's. He said he had always paid tradesmen's debts. He had always
tried to do his utmost since he had been in the colony. When he left
England his father gave him a gold match worth £50, and when he came to
Now Zealand he sold it for £20 to pay his debts. He also had mortgaged his
wife's property to pay his debts, and was now unable to pay the interest
on the money. I would not
be here only I considered I would be arrested by not coming.
Mr Bauchope gave the
total amount of proved debts, including Mr Hooker's to His Honor who said
that he would order a discharge to be granted on the bankrupt paying 5s in
the £ on proved claims.
1894 - 6 March: LATE FATAL ACCIDENT - INQUEST ON THE BOY
ROBINSON. An inquest on William Robinson, the little boy who was found
unconscious in a paddock on Saturday, and who died on Sunday, was held at
the hospital on Monday afternoon 1896 - 17 Aug: POLICE COURT. Borough By Laws - William Barnard was fined 1s and costs 7s for leaving his butcher's cart standing at night without a light affixed thereto. Defendant said that it was not customary for butchers' carts in New Plymouth to be fitted up with lamps.  9 April 1897,

Butchery
1899 - 20 Jan: FINES
IMPOSED. In the Police Court to-day William Honnor pleaded guilty to two
charges of breaches of the Stock Act - driving a diseased cow on the
highway Carrington Road, and leaving a diseased beast on Mrs Turnbull's
property without destroying the same.
Mr Weston appeared
for the Stock Department, and said the beast in question was sold by
the defendant to Mr Barnard for 7s 6d, the value practically of the
animal's hide, and was left in Mrs Turnbull's
paddock.
William Barnard said
he had gone to witness's place to see a colt, and was asked his
opinion about the cow. He suspected something was wrong with her, but
did not like the task of killing her.
He'd asked if a Stock Inspector had been seen, and said he
had a good butcher who knew all about diseased cattle. They agreed
the cow should be destroyed, and if he (Mr Barnard) was not at the place
at the appointed time, the animal was to be put in Mrs Turnbull's
paddock. Honnor had no intention of breaking the law, and was charged
£2 on both charges.
William Barnard
denied that he bought the cow from William Honnor for 7s 6d. What he had
done was merely to oblige a customer without the slightest intention of
committing an offence. He had always been very careful what beasts he
slaughtered. "I have been brought here," added witness,
 "as
a target, but I am certain Your Worship will do me justice."
Frank Orbell, Stock
Inspector, said he thanked Mr Barnard what be had done with the cow and
calf he got from Mr Honnor. He examined the carcass which was
down a gully which was really a pig paddock where 54 pigs
were running and found the cow was in a very advanced state of disease. Mr
Barnard said the slaughter man should have buried the carcase
and that he had
spoken the truth on the matter - 7s 6d was to be paid for the calf
and the cow was taken to save Honnor the trouble of killing
her. Honnor must have known the cow was diseased
from it's condition.
Mr Weston said the
Stock Department did not allege the deceased beast was sold by Mr Barnard
after it was killed who was a butcher in a large way however the
Act clearly made the driving of a diseased beast in a public highway an
offence, and the Department was very desirous of preventing the spread of
disease and aimed to isolate affected animals. William Barnard
was also fined £2 and costs for driving a diseased cow along a public
road.

BUTCHER: at Brougham Street; Waitara;
 and
South Road 1900 - 4 October:
Taranaki Herald, Page 2 The Harbour, Board's buildings in Brougham-street
were purchased by Mr Barnard for £65. The buildings have to be removed
within six weeks.
1901 - 8 February:
The premises of Mr W. Barnard wood and coal merchant, South Road (No.
214) have been connected with the Telephone Exchange.
1901 - 2 Mar: Police
Court; Mr R. L. Stanford, S.M.
William Barnard was
charged with assault ing Francis Peacock Corkill at New
Plymouth.
Sergeant Stagpoole
prosecuted, and Mr Spence appeared for the defendant.
F. P. Corkill, said
he was standing at a post talking to Mr Hive, when he heard someone
call out, "Mr Corkill, you are blocking the way" at the same time he felt
a shove. He turned and saw accused. There was plenty of room for defendant
to pass. He told Barnard he wanted nothing to say to him. He and Mr Hine
continued their conversation, and Barnard went across the road, but came
back and leaned against a post. When witness moved off he felt a blow from
behind, which knocked his hat off, and nearly knocked him over. Barnard
then struck a fighting attitude. Mr Hoby and some ladies were standing in
front of Messrs Ambury'a shop, and he called Mr Hoby's attention to the
assault. He then walked across to Mr Newton King's mart, and accused
followed him making some remarks. He had been on several occasions
threatened by accused. Some 18 months previous Barnard met him near
his own residence, and wanted to talk to him, but he would not
listen, and Barnard then became aggressive. He reported that matter
to the police. He feared molestation from the accused, and wished him to
be bound over.
There were several
persons in the street. He said he did not say to Barnard, " You low
cur," or make a movement which might be construed into an intention
to fight Barnard. He was not on friendly terms with Barnard; he was on no
terms with him at all. The blow he received was a heavy one. From the time
Barnard spoke to him about blocking the path till he was struck was fully
five minutes. He gave Barnard no provocation. The words in list (produced
and handed in) were those used by Barnard when he followed witness across
the road. He did not raise his hand as if going to strike Barnard.
Re-examined : There
was plenty of room for the defendant to pass along the footpath. A lady
witness gave evidence that she saw Mr Corkill and another gentleman
standing under Messrs Ambury Bros's verandah. She saw Mr Barnard strike Mr
Corkill. She did not hear what words were used but saw Mr Corkill pick up
his hat. Daniel Penwarden was called, but could give no particulars of the
assault.
Sergeant Stagpoola
said in answer to a telephone message he went down the street and met
Barnard, who admitted he had given Corkill a clout under the ear. Barnard
also said that Mr Corkill had hounded him for sixteen years.
Mr Spence: Barnard
was not of a quarrelsome nature that he'd said to Mr Corkill, " You
are in my way," or words to that effect, and Mr Corkill called him
(Barnard) a scoundrel. George Hoby gave evidence of the assault. For the
defence Mr Spence contended that the assault was trivial, and could be met
by a caution.
Mr Spence then
called William Barnard, who said he was walking along the street, which
was crowded. Mr Corkill was standing on the edge of the path with his arm
against a verandah post. He asked Mr Corkill to allow him to pass, when Mr
Corkill remarked, " You scoundrel,' and raised bis hand, whereupon he
struck Mr Corkill, as he thought, in self-defence. If Mr Corkill had not
made the remark and raised his hand, the assault would not have happened.
He had been dogged by Mr Corkill for the last 16 years, and Mr Corkill had
endeavoured in every way to injure him. He had never been charged with
assault before.
In giving judgment
His Worship stated he had no doubt that an assault had been committed, as
admitted by the defence. He would be fined 10s and costs, 15s.
1901 - Oct 8:
WELLINGTON, ANTHRAX. Private letters received from New Plymouth state that
a serious case of anthrax recently occurred in that district. A man who
assisted the veterinary surgeon at the post-mortem examination of a cow
that succumbed to the disease was also affected seriously. He was so
bad that two doctors were called in. It is suggested that the disease is
still conveyed to New Zealand in bones and bone dust imperfectly
sterilised. Unless prompt measures are taken for the effective
sterilisation of imported bones and bone dust there may be a, serious
outbreak of the dreaded disease in New Zealand. The name of the man
affected is Barnard. After the work was done both operators washed their
hands in a chemical solution, and also rinsed the knives in the same; the
cloth used being hung up to dry. A day or so after Mr. Barnard killed some
condemned cattle at the works at Moturoa, and, having lightly cut or
scratched his arm, used the cloth to wipe off the blood. It would appear
that some poisonous matter must still have been on the cloth, and this was
transmitted to Mr. Barnard's arm. Serious symptoms soon set in, and the
arm began to swell up in a hard lump. Drs Walker and Home, after
consultation, decided to operate. The two doctors cut away the diseased
part of the arm, the operation being carried out successfully. When the
part of the arm cut away was placed under observation it was found to be
teeming with germs.
1902 - 22 Nov:
Whiteley Leases. A SUCCESSFUL SALE. The sale of the Whiteley township
leases on Thursday was an unqualified success. There was a very large
attendance and bidding was keen from start to finish, every 1 section
being sold at the hammer. In nearly every case prices realised were
considerably above the " upsets and in some instances the latter were more
than doubled. Mrs Wm. Barnard purchased Lot 98 £9; Lot 56 £7 10s;
Lot 73 £4 15s; Lot 151 £21 10s
1902 - 4
Dec: The House Committee accepted a tender from W Barnard to
supply firewood as also did Charitable Aid.
1903 - 21 Mar: On
Thursday a sale was held of the unsold portion of the Whiteley Township.
Most of the sections fronting the South Road and one of the large sites at
the corner of Devon and Calvert Roads met with fair competition, prices in
several cases being considerably in excess of the upsets. Most of the back
sections, however were not so much sought after, and several of these were
passed in, but at the close of the sale only two sections being
unsold. W. Barnard purchased sec 142, £2, sec 143, £2, and
secs 155, 156, 157 and 138 at £7 each.
1904 - 19
January: ln the SM. Court. Mr Kerr for plaintiff and Mr
Weston for defendant Barnard D. Teed, senr., sued W. Barnard £21 11s 9d,
as damages for breaches of a lease. Plaintiff leased Barnard several acres
of land at Barrett Boad, Omata, and it was ageed the defendant should keep
the land clear of noxious growth such as furze (gorse), blackberry etc.
When the lease expired he said the defendant had not carried out the
agreement and sought a remedy in court for damages.
Teed described the land as
dirty when he took it back from Barnard who had left a cystern
and stove behind and wanted compensation for them. He said Barnard could
have taken them - they were no use to the plaintiff. He had to get
the property cleaned, the cost being detailed. The property was now leased
to Mr Honeyfield at £25 a year.
Mr Weston said the
terms of the agreement had been carried out. The part of the property had
been covered in furze (gorse) for years and that it would take a long time
to eradicate it from the soil and since, Mr Teed had engaged a
contractor to grub the furze, it had appeared
again.
His Worship said
that all the defendant had to do under the lease of the land was to grub
up the furze etc every year. It appeared Barnard faithfully every year did
what he had to under the lease and this evidence came from witnesses who
had performed the work.
Messrs Rowan and
Hynett, the Government officials who had to attend to noxious weeds also
gave evidence that the farm was in good state and the place had evidently
been left in good condition, and the former said that he would take
Barnard as a tenant at any time if he looked after his farm like he had Mr
Teed's. The evidence for the defence was overwhelming, and judgment given
to defendant with costs of £5 6s against the plaintiff.
1904 - 26
November: PORT OF NEW PLYMOUTH Norbury, for Onehunga - Cargo- 6
boxes butter, Moa, Farmers ; 4 pkgs hides, Barnard
1905 - 14 Nov: (A
month or so previous W Barnard had added his name in support of Mr
Smith in forthcoming election)
Political Address:
Mr Smith said that the money had been put in the hands of the Public
Trustee, which he did not agree with - he would like to see more
money expended on advances to settlers. He expressed the opinion that
the Public Trust Office should not be controlled by one man, but by a
Board. At present native lands were locked up, and he would like to see
them thrown open. Mr Smith said the Government paid £50 an acre for
Spotswood and could get far more for it if they let it go as freehold,
which, however, they had declined to do. Land in the vicinity had been
sold at £400 an acre. Mr Smith referred to prices paid for leases at the
Mission Station, then Mr William Barnard, who had risen before, attempted
to make some observations. The chairman said he he must confine himself to
a question, and Mr Barnard made an oration which seemed to get broken up a
good deal before it reached the press table, but which included some
references "23 years" and, a lot about "acre" (not Dickens' Bob). The
chairman endeavoured to stop the flow of oratory, but without
success and when Mr. Smith invited the Barnard on to the stage, Mr
Barnard, with considerable emphasis, declared that the present Government
was the, best that the Almighty had ever allowed to run living on this
funny place called The Earth.
 1906 - 17
Jan: - John W. Sycamore in the employ of J. Riddle,
butcher laid a case of alleged aggravated assault against William
Barnard, the contractor for the removal of offal, etc. from the abattoirs.
There had been ill feeling between the parties Sycamore
said as he was entering the abattoir reserve Barnard was lying in wait and
saluted him with a missile which severely injured his jaw and Barnard
followed up the assault by chasing Sycamore and hurling road metal until
the latter was out of reach.
1906 - 12 Jul: A
most important clearing sale of farm stock, furniture, etc., to be held by
Mr Newton King at Barrett Road on Thursday next on account of Mr W.
Barnard who has sold his property. Farmers and others should not miss the
sa!e, there being several good horses and working bullocks in addition to
this ordinary farm stock, and a number of traps and drays. There are also
over 500 head of poultry, which will be sold in lots to suit the
purchasers. Everything is absolutely without reserve as Mr Barnard is
leaving the district.
1906 - 6 June:
Mr Newton King will hold a clearing sale of farm stock, household
furniture, etc:., on Barrett Road,, on account of Mr W. Barnard. The sale
is absolutely witbout reserve, Mr Barnard having sold the property, and
buyers can therefore rely on getting things at their own prices. The sale
starts at l2 o'clock
1906 - 24 Jul: Mr
William Barnard applied for a lease of. five acres at the abattoir reserve
for the purpose of establishing a boiling-down plant. This was
referred to the Abattoir Committee, with a view to consulting the
Agricultural Department.
The following
recomendations of the Abatoir Committee were adopted :'- (1) That Mr. G.
Ridddil's application for permission to erect a boiling down establishment
at the abattoir reserve be referred to the Agricultural Department. (2)
That the committee suggest to the Agricultural Department the advisability
of having all condemned stock from this district killed in a specially
prepared place at the abattoir, or failing this that killing be allowed at
the Barrett Road depot only on certain days, and that the inspector be
present on all such days to see the work of destruction effectively
carried out. (3) That the recommendation of the abatoir manager for
"draining the starving paddock and for a few loads of metal at 'the gates
be referred to the Engineer to deal with.

Alice Eileen Barnard
died 6th Mar 1917 aged 61 years
at 10 Hutcheson
Street, Addington, Christchurch and she was buried on the 8th at the
cemetery there.
Her marriage to
William Barnard had not been an easy one.
Her husband did not
die in New Zealand but on the 1908 Christchurch North Electoral Roll she
is a widow living at 44 Madras Street. In
1914 she
moved to Hucheson St. Christchurch East
Alice Edgington
sailed from London on the Cathcart. On board with her were her mother
Rebecca, 50 Gloustershire, Alice 18 years, born Gloustershire,
Servant; Caroline 16; Ellen 11; George 23 Gloustershire Carpenter; David
20 Gloustershire, Engine Driver; William 14 born Cornwall.
There was a mutiny -
4 of the crew of the Cathcart during the voyage had broken into
the fore-hold, broached cargo and secured drink; one of them was brought
aft and placed in irons; another, having attempted to rescue him, was also
taken in charge, but while being secured the first prisoner escaped to the
forecastle. Captain Crawford and the officers going forward to recapture
him, were prevented from doing so by several of the crew, who made use of
threatening language. The Captain, finding that the mutineers would not
listen to reason, returned to his cabin, and after deliberating with his
officers, armed himself and went forward the second time. Finding the
doors of the forecastle closed, he demanded admission. Previous to this,
part of the crew had left the mutineers. Those within refused to open the
doors, threatened the Captain, and said that they meant shortly to be
masters of the ship. Argument was useless, and the door on the starboard
side of the forecastle was, in spite of much resistance, partly forced
open with hand spikes, and the Captain, again warning the mutineers, fired
three times amongst them, three of them being wounded. An entrance was
effected and the mutiny quelled, the ringleaders and others being placed
in irons. On the arrival of the ship at Lyttelton 29th August 1874 the men
were brought before a magistrate and charged with endeavouring to make a
revolt. Four were sentenced to twelve weeks' imprisonment with hard
labour, and two to one month additional for assaulting the Captain. Aside
from that, it was a good voyage. She sailed from London with 481
Government immigrants
