Roger Gatehouse, age 40, G.S. per Shipley 1, 7 years, protestant, Fencer, Mr Chisholm, St Andrews, Minto district. --------------------------------------------------------------- Possible? COINING AND UTTERING.—Michael Dougherty and Roger Gatehouse, two very suspicious looking personages, came up as bold as brass to face Inspector M Cook and Police Constable Bydders, and answer an accusation preferred by them as to coining and uttering certain pieces of small money, purporting to be the really three-penny bits of Her Blessed Majesty Queen Victoria. From certain information received by the Inspector, he apprehended Gatehouse for having given one bad 'un—a very bad 'un—to Mr. O'Brien, a publican, at Camperdown ; and, while in the act of taking Gatehouse, Dougherty jumped up and affirmed that he made the "sham," as he called it. Thereupon he was accommodated with Government board and lodging, as the coiner. O'Brien and his barmaid, Ellen Bunwell, however, evidently knew nothing about the affair ; at all events, they did not tell anything which could criminate the prisoners. But as the case seemed very suspicious, Mr. Egan, at the request of the Chief Commissioner of Police, remanded the prisoners till to-day for further evidence, and amongst it that of Mrs. O'Brien. One thing is clear, that a great quantity of base coin of that particular description is in circulation in Camperdown and its vicinity, and that the Inspector of that district is much to be commended for his endeavours in attempting to bring the makers and utterers of it to book. Every assistance ought to be rendered to him in promoting this object. Bells Life in Sydney, 3 Aug 1850. CORONER'S INQUESTS.-An inquest was held on Monday, at the Red Lion Inn, Camperdown, on view of the body of Roger Gatehouse, who was found lying dead on the high road, at an early hour on Sunday morning. It appeared from the evidence that the deceased had taken a glass of liquor on the previous evening, but had not drunk above a moderate quantity. His person displayed no marks of violence, and in accordance with the evidence, the jury returned a verdict of died from accidental suffocation. Maitland Mercury, 25 Dec 1852.
