Possible press articles for George Judge 1831-1893



I have no idea whether these press articles relate to 'our' George Judge who died in Hobart, Tasmania but I hope that at least some of them do.

The Mercury Hobart, Tasmania  Tuesday 14 March 1905 JUDGE-BEDDOME. - On February 8,1905, at St. John's Presbyterian Church, Macquarie street, by the Rev J. Heyer, Poyntz, fourth son of the late George Judge, of Russell's Town House, Athy, County Kildare, Ireland, to Ethel Allingham, third daughter of the late Lieutenant C. E. Beddome (I.N.), of Hillgrove, Brown's River-road.

The Mercury Hobart, Tasmania  Friday 28 October 1898 JUDGE-MCLENNAN.-On October 11,1898 at Chalmers Manse, Hobart, by the Rev. C. H. Talbot, Arthur Samuels, eldest son of the late George Judge, of Hobart, to Catherine, only daughter of the late Kenneth McLennan, Melbourne.

The Mercury Hobart, Tasmania  Thursday 13 October 1892 Charitable Fees.-Mrs. Elizabeth Brown was proceeded against by George Judge, collector for Charitable Institutes, for the recovery of the sum of £8 8s., her portion of the amount due under the boarding-out system for the maintenance of her five grandchildren, she being a person of sufficient means. Mr. J. W. H. WALCH appeared to prosecute, and  Mr. S. T. Allwright for the defence. Geo. Judge, the collecting officer, stated that he sued Mrs. Brown her portion of the children's maintenance fees from May 26 to August 31. Mrs Brown bore two fifths of the sum charged for the maintenance of the children, which was at the rate of 6s. per week for each child, or 39s. per week for the whole. The remaining portion was paid by some other relatives. Elizabeth Brown, the defendant, said she objected to the children being boarded out, and she had contributed towards their support in a large measure for 14 months since the death of their father. During the past 10 or 12 months the mother of the children had received from witness over £58 in cash and goods, and witness had furnished a house in addition for her. There was not any necessity for the Government taking charge of the children. The mother was quite capable of taking care of them. The Bench held that there appeared to be no doubt that the children were destitute when the father died, and only for the intervention of the relatives they would have starved. There was no question as to the liability of the defendant, and it was said that it would be unfair to call the public to pay for the children when it was shown that the defendant had sufficient means to support them. An order for the amount claimed was made, the costs being disallowed.
