THE CORONATION. — Trooper H. Garlick, a popular member of Molong Mounted Rifles, proceeded to Sydney, last Thursday night, preparatory to embarking for England with the Commonwealth Horse, to take part in the Coronation festivities. This is a good thing for Hubert, and all who know him will wish him a good time on the holiday trip. His experience ought to be more agreeable than when in South Africa.

INSPECTOR GARLICK RETIRES ———————
An echo of the famous ” Coogee Bones Case ” was raised yesterday by the retirement of Inspector H. G. E. Garlick, for years one of the ‘ Big Four ‘ of Sydney C.I.B. Known everywhere as ‘Phil’ Garlick, he was several times commended for bravery while arresting armed criminals.
Inspector Garlick is the second youngest son of the late George Garlick, who carried on a blacksmith business where Ray Shreeves’ garage is now situated, in Bank Street, Molong, for over 30 years. He learned the trade before joining the police force.
He used to be a constant visitor to Molong for many years. His mother is still living, in the city. Mr. Lloyd Morris, of Cudal, Boree Shire engineer, is a nephew.
He caught that remarkable individual Frank Lord, the Cambridge scholar and poet, whom Garlick proved to be the mysterious ” Foot-prints King.”
Lord faced 115 charges of breaking and entering, was convicted, and left Australia after serving his sentence. His method was to manipulate locks with a pair of foot-print pliers.
When arrested by Detectives Garlick and Jones he carried a mask and a fully loaded automatic pistol.
Colorful
One of the most colorful criminals Australia has ever gaoled was apprehended by Garlick.
That was the aged Albert H. Thompson, self-styled Inventors’ Ambassador, who was sentenced to four years and three years for false pretences after obtaining £45,000 in connection with a company which he promoted.
Some years earlier Thompson had won a world award made by a New York life insurance company for writing life insurance business.
As a reward he enjoyed a world trip and wore a medal with a huge diamond in it. He even wore it in the dock, when he addressed the judge for no less than 8½ hours, and after serving his sentence, Thompson flaunted it as he walked up the gangway to embark for U.S.A.
Woman Buried
But it was in the Coogee Bones Case that Garlick ‘s skill as a patient and shrewd investigator became recognised. The case made world history.
For over a year Garlick had information that a woman had been cut up and buried after an operation, and his diary recorded an accurate description of the victim. But, strangely enough, no such woman was reported missing.
Efforts to trace the burial place were unsuccessful for many months.
Then word came from England that a Mrs. Hayden was missing; Garlick investigated a city garage and found a piece of human arm bone and a couple of finger bones.
The trail led to Coogee, and police alleged that the principal in the case had died in the meantime.
But the case became famous because that brilliant young Australian, Dr. Hunter, was able to prove the weight, height, age and sex of the victim from the fragments of bone found by Garlick.
Walking about Sydney to-day is a man who was sentenced to 150 years hard labor in one day by the late Judge Docker, after being arrested by Garlick.
Another “hard case” criminal arrested several times by Garlick used to astonish both judges and juries by giving his occupation with pert unconcern as ” professional burglar. ”
Garlick first became a sergeant-major in the First Cavalry N.S.W. Mounted Rifles in the Boer War when he was only 18, and was selected to represent his regiment at King Edward VII’s Coronation in 1902.

On 23 June, 1956 the sergeant was involved in the violent arrest of an offender at the Commercial Hotel, Junee. During the incident the sergeant suffered injuries to his kidneys which subsequently led to a number of operations and ongoing medical treatment for many years afterward.
On the morning of 14 April, 1962 Sergeant Cavanagh, then the Officer In Charge of the Morisset Police Station, collapsed on duty and was conveyed to the Newcastle Hospital. He remained in a semi-coma until he sadly passed away a week later. The cause of death was kidney failure caused by his injuries in 1956.
R. E. Cavanagh of Junee was promoted from Constable 1st Class to Senior Constable around 24 December 1954 as advertised in The Sydney Morning Herald, Friday 24 December 1954 on page 3 of 12.
The sergeant was born on 15 March 1915 and joined the New South Wales police Force on 25 August, 1939. At the time of his death he was stationed at Morisset.
Reg’s son, Geoff, last saw his dad being carried out of the Morisset Police Station on a stretcher to an ambulance in full uniform but never saw him again.
