Bonded for Driving Under the Influence
Found guilty of driving a motor vehicle whilst under the influence of intoxicating liquor, Frederick George Huggard, of Heathcote (Vic.) was ordered to enter into a £30 good behaviour bond at the Court of Petty Sessions on Wednesday. Period of the bond is 12 months.
A second charge, of negligent driving, was withdrawn upon Hugget undertaking not to appeal against the conviction. Mr. L. R. Mathieson, Stipendiary Magistrate, presided on the Bench.
Barry John Hocking, constable of police stationed at Deniliquin, stated that at about 8 p.m. on December 27 he went to the scene of an accident near the Post Office where he saw defendant and asked him if he were the driver of a truck involved in a collision, and defendant admitted he was, adding he did not see the taxi behind him.
Defendant was swaying slightly on his feet, the constable continued, his breath smelt of intoxicating liquor, he had great difficulty with his words, his face was flushed and his eyes half closed.
Replying to a question by Constable Hocking, defendant had said he had three beers at the Globe Hotel a while previously.
Later, at the lock-up, defendant was told he was entitled to have the services of a doctor, but had replied that he did not want one. To Mr. Colin Shanks ( for Huggard ):
Witness had about three minutes conservation with defendant, and decided after one minute that he was under the influence of liquor. During his 18 months as a police constable he had arrested hundreds of persons for being drunk, but defendant was the second he had arrested for driving under the influence.
Defendant’s eyes were not more closed at the time of his arrest than they were in court, but he was blinking a lot.
Leslie Graham Jenkins gave evidence that on December 27 about 7.50 p.m. he was driving a taxi owned by Mr. C. Hussey down Cressy Street.
A Chevrolet truck was parked almost parallel with the kerbing in front of the Post Office.
Jenkins said that he had just finished parking his vehicle about five feet away from the back of the truck when it started reversing towards him. The truck, driven by Huggard, struck the back of the taxi at a low speed, causing damage estimated at about £5.
Mr. Hussey arrived on the scene, Jenkins said, and told Huggard that he was going to contact the police.
Huggard told the court that he had been on a four day fishing trip with two friends out beyond Old Morago. They had arrived in Deniliquin about two hours before the accident and parked in front of the Post Office. Before going to the Broadway Cafe for a meal, they had gone to the Globe Hotel and had three seven oz. glasses of beer each.
Immediately after their meal they had returned directly to their truck, he said.
Under cross examination by the Police Prosecutor, Huggard denied having told Constable Hocking that he had been at the hotel before returning to the truck, and denied having any other liquor that day.
They had taken 14 bottles of beer with them for the four day trip. Huggard said that, after arriving on the scene, Constable Hocking had talked for several minutes with Jenkins and the owner of the truck, Ron Tranter and walked over to him and said “I think you are under the influence.” He was then taken to the Police Station, Huggard said.
Ron Tranter gave evidence that he had known Huggard for a considerable period and was with him on the fishing trip. “During the whole day,” he said, ” I only left Huggard and the other member of the fishing trip for about ten minutes and the only liquor consumed in my company during the day was three glasses of beer in the Globe Hotel.”
Under cross examination Tranter said that Huggard was perfectly normal and he had been quite happy about letting Huggard drive his truck. He claimed that Huggard was walking in his usual gait. “He walks with a slight roll.” Tranter added, A reference regarding- Huggard’s personal conduct from a Justice of the Peace in Heathcote was tendered to the Court.
At the conclusion of the evidence Mr. Colin Shanks, appearing for Huggard, submitted that Constable Hocking had put the wrong interpretation, on several of Huggard’s physical characteristics. “Huggard habitually walks with a roll, his eyes are naturally half closed all the time and his face was flushed from spending four days out in the open air,” Mr. Shanks stated.
Summing up His Worship said that he did not accept defendant’s story that he only had three glasses of beer. “I have no doubt that the defendant was slightly under the influence of liquor, ” he added.

Serious Police Shortage
Hard pressed Deniliquin Police are facing a serious shortage, and Sergeant F. Dawson says that from Thursday only one officer will be available to patrol the streets.
New Year we have had ? and with the limited available we can’t possibly ? the work,” ‘Sergeant Dawson said this morning. ? one hectic week. Constable Ryder, who ? relieving Detective ? was on duty continuously for four days, during ? that time he escorted a prisoner to Sydney and returned, all ? and with no sleeper ?. ? have expressed ? with the fact that only ? will be available to patrol the streets.

At present there are two police constables and Sergeant Dawson available for duty. However, Constable B. Hocking will be going on leave next Thursday and Constable ( A.B. ) Schiemer # 7643 and Sergeant Dawson will be the only two officers available.
Detective Ryder will return to Wagga on Thursday and Detective D. N. Knight will resume duty.
Sergeant Dawson said that he is still waiting on a lock-up keeper, and another officer to be transferred from Sydney to Deniliquin.

Caught Red-handed By Civilian!
Caught red-handed with a stolen carton of potato chips in the early hours of Sunday morning, a man appeared at the Deniliquin Court of Petty sessions last Tuesday.
He was Anzac Lee Box, who was apprehended by a civilian at 12.30 a.m. on Sunday in front of the Exchange Hotel.
Messrs Dawson Boyd and J. Fleming, J.’sP., presided at Tuesday’s Court.
Mr K. Murray, secretary of the R.S.L. Club, told the court that he went to the club premises last Sunday morning and found two cartons of potato chips were missing. The value of the missing cartons was £3/10/, Mr. Murray said.
In a statement to the court Detective Knight said that when he questioned defendant on the Sunday morning he admitted taking the two cartons. Defendant had told him that he recalled dropping one carton when apprehended by the civilian, and thought he had hidden the other one in the lane, beside the club.
This carton was recovered by Constable Hocking.
Box was convicted and sentenced to 14 days’ hard labour.

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.

Former Senior Constable Craig Kirkland VA passed away suddenly on Friday 5/12.
Craig resigned in 1995 and went on to have a successful career as a risk manager in the financial industry.
Craig was awarded the Commissioners Valour Award after he and a colleague, challenged a male who they saw acting suspiciously around a hotel at Pennant Hills, in the early hours one morning in September 1991.
Without warning the male produced a revolver. Craig and the other officer managed to wrestle the weapon away from him. It was loaded.
The male had gone there to rob the licensee who lived on-site and had access to the safe containing the days takings.
At the time of his resignation, Craig was attached to the Chatswood District SOG’s.
It is with the heaviest of hearts that I inform the network of Craig Kirkland VA of his sudden passing on Friday December 5. Craig (Kirko) was much loved by everyone who was fortunate enough to have met him.
In a career most would be envious of, spanning carpentry, law enforcement and financial services, Craig excelled at both his craft and making deep, life long connections. His warmth and genuineness, his sense of humour and empathy were all infectious. He was at equal ease with the CEO as he was with the children of all of his colleagues. He is sorely missed by the family he doted over, and very many friends and colleagues.

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.

21 November 2025 – NSW Fallen Police FB Group:
On behalf of my husband, Peter Parsons, Assistant Commissioner APM, Retired.
Death of former Assistant Commissioner Charles Vincent Parsons APM – registered number 7336.
It is with great sadness that the family of Charlie Parsons regret to inform of his passing yesterday, 20/11/2025 at Lismore Base Hospital following a short illness.
Charlie was 94 years old and retired from NSWPF in 1993 as an Assistant Commissioner, North Region. Country born, he served the majority of his service in country NSW.
Among his many achievements, Charlie always maintained that his proudest was his marriage to Fay (decd), and his five children – Peter, Anne (decd), Kel (decd), Jennifer and Ben.
Charlie was an avid proponent of the basic rights of the Police Officer, and served as a representative of the NSW Police Association for most of his career. His service was recognised by being made a life member on 25/5/1983. Before he passed he was the second oldest living life member in the history of NSWPA. He was awarded the Australian Police medal in the Queen’s birthday honours awards in 1988.
An avowed people person, Charlie was well respected by all who served with and under him.
He leaves 9 grandchildren and 17 great grandchildren. Whilst extremely proud of all of them, with a majority serving in first responder occupations in QLD, NSW and VIC, Charlie’s proud policing family and legacy continued with sons Peter (Ret A/C), Kel (decd Det Snr/Sgt), grandsons Alex (current S/C – Port Stephens PAC), Joseph (current Det S/C QLDP), nephew Greg Hargraves (S/C – resigned), brother in law Mike Rogers (NSWP – resigned), nephew Jason Rogers ( QLDP – resigned) and lastly (not least) Charlie’s great grandson Billy Parsons enters NSW Police Academy in early 2026.
A loving Father, Grandfather and Great Grandfather, he will be sorely missed.
RIP mate.
Peter Parsons.
Funeral details will be forthcoming

* 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
