ANOTHER ACCIDENT OWING TO AN UN-

COVERED WELL.

At 10 o'clock on Tuesday morning an in- quest was held at the sign of the Saracen's Head, Gloucester-street, Rocks, on the body of a fine boy, about 6 years of age, named John Jobbins, who was unfortunately drowned in a well at the back of his father's house, No. 31, Cumberland Street, Rocks. The jury, upon the clearest evidence, returned a verdict, that the deceased was-" Accidentally drowned in an exposed, Unprotected, dangerous well, at the back of his parents' residence."

It is understood, that a respectable mer- chant and magistrate, is agent for the estate on which the well is situate, and it is a duty that gentleman owes the public to prevent a similar occurrence, by having the well in question properly secured.

paragraph from page 30 of Errol Lea-Scarlett's book titled 'Gundaroo':

The year 1855 which saw the Brownlow tragedy played out was a watershed in
the history of Gundaroo. On 2 January Richard Guise died as result of an
accident, leaving a widow (nee Martha Lett) who remained in the district
with their two children, William James and Esther. Another pioneer, James
Booth, died on 5 December at the age of 58, leaving a widow and nine
children, and John Jobbins died on 8 January , childless, but survived by
his widow (nee Sarah Wilford). Jobbins and his wife, in local lore important
figures but shadowy because they were illiterate and left no direct
descendants, were a thoughtful and kind-hearted old pair who adopted the
three children of Joseph Park, a farmer who died near Nanima in 1839. One of
them, Mary Ann Park, on her marriage to Joseph Thomas Andrew Styles in 1853
came with him to live at the Tallagandra homestead, Gundaroo. John Jobbins's
brother, Edward, a stonemason by trade, was also in the Gundaroo district,
residing with his wife, Rebecca, at Back Creek where he died in 1870,
leaving a family which included three sons through whom the family name has
remained alive. Of all the events of the year which opened with the deaths
of Richard Guise and John Jobbins none, however, exceeded in impact the
arrival of a group of weary passengers by Brumrny's mail-coach at the
Traveller's Home one Sunday evening in February , for they included
Wishart's nephew, a lanky, nineteen-years old Scots youth named William
Affleck.
