17- HABTLEY AND ITS COURT-HOUSE._________13 The establishment recommended for the Vale of Clwydd was : one Police Magistrate £250, one Clerk £100, one Chief Constable £75, five Ordinary Constables £205 6s. 3d., and one Scourger £31 18s. 9d. Accordingly in January, 1836, Edward Denny Day was appointed Police Magistrate for the new District of the Vale of Clwydd, and Henry Dal way, Clerk of the Bench. As Day was receiving full pay as an Arm y officer [retired], fifty pounds was deducted from his salary as Police Magistrate. Pending the building of the Court-House Day suggested that one of the cells at the stockade at Hassan's Walls be used as a Lock-up House and that a shed for the temporary accom modation of the Bench be built near it. Fearing that the regularity of the ironed gang might be affected by the introduction into the stockade of a new class of criminal, Governor Bourke directed that temporary arrangements be made instead at some old huts at Mount Victoria. T e n d e r s w e r e Ca l l e d f o r B u i l d i n g t h e C o u r t - H o u s e B e f o r e t h e F i n a l S i t e w a s Ch o s e n . It is interesting to notice in the call for tenders for the building of the Court-House that security was required and monthly advances made to the extent of 75% of the value of the work performed. It was Governor Macquarie’s architect, Francis Howard Greenway, who had introduced into the Colony this system of guarantee of good faith. The time of transmitting tenders was postponed from March 1 to March 31,1836, to enable tenderers to visit the locality. On April 14 the tender of E o ss' Coulter and Eobert Beddie was accepted and they were referred to the Colonial Architect, Mortimer Lewis, to execute a bond for the due observance of their contract and its completion within a limited time. They sent twelve men and four horses to quarry and cart the stone. Since it was intended immediately to lay out a village at the Eiver Lett, Mitchell gave instructions for a detailed survey of the Village Eeserve there, the site for a Court and W atch-H ouse to be fixed first of all. In July, 1836, when Assistant-Surveyor Butler transmitted his “ Survey of the proposed Scite for a Township at the Eiver Lett ” , Mitchell was in Western Victoria with his third exploring expedition. His deputy, S. A. Perry, considered the situation chosen by
14 HARTLEY AND ITS COURT-HOUSE. On October 3, 1837, the Police Magistrate, J. Blair, reported the contractor’s notice of the completion of the Court-House at Hartley. (From the original in the Mitchell Library.)
