Fan fined $25 for throwing firework
SYDNEY, Monday. — A football fan who threw a “bunger” at football spectators at yesterday’s St George -Parramatta rugby league match was fined $25 today.
Mr Robert Allen, 43, labourer, of Harris Park, pleaded guilty in Parramatta Court to letting off a firework at Cumberland Oval, Parramatta, in circumstances likely to cause damage to another person.
Constable M. Green told Mr R. J. Bartley, SM. that he had seen Mr Allen light the cracker. It had been thrown and exploded among football fans. No one had been injured “but they were startled”, he said.

Gods love ~ a poem loved by Jerry
I found Him in the Whispering Pines And in the Beauty of a Rose
I found Him where the First Star Shines above a Summer Day’s Soft Close.
I found Him where the Storms Grow Wild.
I found Him in a Happy Face and the Manner of a Small Child revealing Loveliness and Grace.
I found Him in the Swinging Suns that wheel their way through Endless Space.
And in the Humblest Path that runs to Love’s Sequestered Dwelling Place.
I found Him where the Violets Dwell.
And where the Bluebirds Wheel and Dart….
But never really knew Him Well until I Found Him in My Heart.
Do not stand at my grave and weep;
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond’s glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn’s rain.
When you awaken in the morning’s hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush.
Of quiet birds in circled flight,
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there, I did not die.

Was shot, in the stomach, by Jocky Smith at cnr Anzac Pde & Day Ave, Kensington, NSW during an armed robbery in December 1976.

Recovery
SYDNEY, Monday. — Constable Gerry Ambrose, 34, of Kensington, shot in the stomach on Wednesday night after a car chase through Kingsford, is making a steady recovery in the Prince of Wales Hospital.
A man described by police as Australia’s most dangerous criminal, Mr Edward James “Jockey” Smith, was captured after a massive hunt lasting more than 10 hours in the area north of Nowra on the South Coast yesterday.
Last night he had been charged with a number of offences relating to the armed robbery of the CBC bank at South Hurstville, Sydney, earlier this month in which more than $180,000 was stolen.
More than 60 police and a Navy helicopter were involved in yesterday’s hunt which ended when Mr Smith was cornered in a telephone booth near Bomaderry railway station.
Police said Mr Smith had pushed a pistol into the stomach of one officer and after a struggle was arrested and taken to Nowra police station. He was also charged with resisting arrest and offering a bribe.
Detectives from Sydney had gone to Nowra earlier this week when it became known that Mr Smith was in the area.
A resident of Illaroo Street, North Nowra, alerted police early yesterday morning when he had heard shots being fired at a small cottage at the end of the road. It is believed that Mr Smith had been firing his pistol to try and keep his dog from barking.
Squads of police wearing bullet proof vests and carrying armalite rifles moved on the cottage at about 6am and arrested a 35-year-old woman, Miss Valerie Jane Hill, who was also charged in relation to the CBC robbery. Mr Smith had been spotted running into thick bush beside the Shoalhaven River. His dog had to be shot after it attacked one of the detectives.
However, a woman told police that Mr Smith had jumped into her car and offered her money to drive him to Bomaderry railway station so he could catch a train. She had done so in terror.
Mr Smith has been eluding police since 1974 when after borrowing a visitor’s pass used it to walk to freedom. Police were questioning him last night regarding the shooting of Police Constable Jerry Ambrose at Kingsford in December 1976 and the shooting and killing of a security guard at Chullora the same year.
In December 1974 he was arrested at gunpoint in Sydney with three other men and all were charged with the robbery of a $175,000 railway payroll at Redfern.
Mr Smith was granted $10,000 bail but he failed to appear in Sydney’s Central Criminal Court the next month. He was arrested again at gunpoint in Victoria in December 1974 as he sunbaked on Sandringham beach with a woman and her daughter.
Two days later he made his escape from Pentridge jail.
Early yesterday morning police raided two houses in Sydney and arrested two other men in relation to the robbery at the CBC Bank.
Mr Francis John Montgomery, 54, of Lambert Road, Bardwell Park and Mr Neil Geoffrey Collings, 26, of Broughton Street, Canterbury, were charged yesterday with assault and robbery in connection with the robbery.
SYDNEY: Police Constable Jeremiah Ambrose, who was shot in the stomach in the course of his duty in 1976, was awarded $9,000 compensation in the Supreme Court yesterday.
He already had been awarded the then maximum of $4,000 compensation in March, 1976, for his injury but the conviction and sentence against the man who shot him was set aside by the Court of Criminal Appeal in March, 1976, so making the compensation award void.
Constable Ambrose again applied under provisions which a person could claim compensation, even if an accused person had been acquitted.
SYDNEY: The Court of Criminal Appeal quashed yesterday the conviction and set aside the life sentence imposed on Mr Edward James Smith, 36, on a charge of the attempted murder of a policeman in 1976.
The three judges found that Mr Smith’s conviction was unsafe and unsatisfactory.
The unanimous judgement was given by the Chief Justice of NSW, Sir Laurence Street, Mr Justice Lee and Mr Justice Lusher.
In March last year, Mr Smith had pleaded not guilty to having wounded Constable Jeremiah Ambrose in Sydney on January 21, 1976, with intent to murder him.
At the trial held in the Parramatta Supreme Court the Crown alleged Constable Ambrose was shot in the stomach after a car chase at Kensington.
A jury found Mr Smith guilty of the charge and Mr Justice Slattery sentenced him to life imprisonment.
The Senior Public Defender, Mr Howard Purnell, QC, submitted to the Court of Criminal Appeal yesterday that the Crown case had been very weak.
Mr Purnell told the court one of his primary grounds of appeal was that Constable Ambrose had failed to identify Mr Smith as his alleged attacker until some 22 months after the incident in which he was shot.
SYDNEY, Tuesday. — The shooting of two policemen in six days highlighted how ineffective the new firearms legislation was, the Secretary of the NSW Police Association said today.
“The legislation has not and will not change the readiness by which criminals can get hold of guns”, Mr Robert Page said.
“It also shows how a policeman’s job is getting more and more dangerous.
“The gun laws, should have been framed to licence the weapons, not the shooter.
“They have not stopped the flow of firearms into peoples homes”.
Under the new legislation people are allowed to have legal firearms in their homes but have to have a shooting licence to carry them outside their homes or fire them.
On Wednesday Constable Gerry Ambrose, 34, was shot in the stomach with a .45 hand gun at Kensington, when he and another highway patrol man chased a car driving without lights.
He is in the Prince of Wales Hospital in a satisfactory condition.
Police are still searching for two gunmen.
On Monday another highway patrolman, Constable George Bishop, was shot in the left shoulder at Narrandera. His condition is satisfactory.
Mr Page said the two shootings would naturally make police more cautious in their approach to suspect vehicles.
The police department had instructions on how police were to approach vehicles.
The police were always to keep the driver under observation and not to pull up in front of a vehicle they had ordered to stop and then walk back.
He doubted it would ever come to the position as in the United States, where drivers of stopped vehicles were expected to stay motionless at the wheel until the policeman could check their identification.

David was a wonderful colleague and friend. We worked together for well over a decade and got to know one another at Fair Trading. While Dave was a big, gruff guy when you first met him, he was, in reality a sweet man with a wonderful heart. He was a loyal friend and it was an absolute joy to have him around. His children were the light in his life. Dave, you will be missed. Condolences to family and friends. RIP my friend.

* Story behind any Nickname:
Legends, a very good mate of mine and to countless others received news early in June that completely changed his life. Blake Shorrock, or as he’s more well known as, Shoz, unfortunately received news that what he thought was a hematoma in his leg was actually a form of cancer known as sarcoma. For those of you who know Shoz you would know that he would give you the shirt of his back if you were in need and would go above and beyond for someone in need. Which is why I’m asking people to kindly consider making a donation to assist Blake and his wonderful family in the cost of Blake’s radiotherapy treatment. Any donation is welcome and appreciated. Even just a simple message of support would mean just as much to Blake and his family
