12 HARTLEY AND ITS COURT-HOUSE. N e w P o l ic e D is t r ic t o f t h e Y a l e of Cl w y d d . Before the establishment of the Court-House and Lock-up at H artley there was between Penrith and Bathurst no place of security for prisoners excepting two military stockades. A t the end of 1834 the Surveyor-General, Mitchell, was requested by Governor Bourke to describe the limits of a Police District which would contain the Court-House to be built by the River Lett. The following year a Committee was formed to enquire into and report upon the Police Force in all its branches. In the course of evidence A. K . McKenzie, J.P., stated that a paid magistrate was much wanted at Cox’s River. In accordance 11 with the findings of the Committee it was decided to form an intermediate Police District between Penrith and Bathurst, its limits determined by the description already furnished by Mitchell, viz., “ District to extend eastward to the Weatherboard Hut Stream on the Mountain Road ; bounded by that stream to the River Cox, and southward to Mounts Colong, Murrain, W erong, and the dividing Range between Werong and the head of the Fish River, to be bounded on the ivest by the Fish River, D ixon ’s Creek, and the Range which separates the Counties of Roxburgh and Cook ; on the north by the Capertee or Colo R iver to the junction of Bowen’s Creek, and including the space west of that Creek, Mount Tomah, Mount Hay, and the W eatherboard H ut Inn, as aforesaid As centre in this District, first called Clwydd, the Court-House near the bridge over the River Lett was built. It was part of the duty of the Police Magistrate of each District to “ make it his duty to become speedily acquainted with the person, character, and general circumstances of every individual within his District, so that he may possess (and be known to possess) the means of at once correcting any t erroneous statement, from his own knowledge, and so be better able to carry into effect the Assignment of Servants, and other important duties . . . Moreover he was to be familiar with every part of his District, and every circumstance of local | interest, so that being able at any moment to furnish accurate information upon every point lie might thus act as intermediary between the Government and the inhabitants, enforcing the commands of the one and representing all lawful desires of the «• other. • i
