It seems the whereabouts of LOVEGROVE, the glazier from Waikato, who went Home with the idea of claiming the Derwentwater estates and 100,000 pounds has been discovered, and a London Correspondent of the Post is now in possession of the unfortunate fellow’s sad story. It seems that LOVEGROVE’s mother had some foundation for her action. The Government, have, in more than one instance, refunded large sums of money to the heirs of Jacobites, whose estates were forfeited under the Rebellion of 1745, and if LOVEGRAVE could have proved himself sole surviving male descendant of the DERWENTWATERS, there can be no doubt that his case would have, at least received careful consideration. He has a wife and seven little ones, and his mother Mrs LOVEGROVE senr, is a very poor woman.

Among them were Messrs Arthur CRISP and F G STONE, prominent officials of the Oddfellow’s Manchester Unity, on their way to establish a lodge at Mataura.

He had been trained as a teacher, and his health had been bad, he could not do hard manual labor. (he had been sent to prison eleven or twelve times,) the prison had done him harm, so why deal with his peculiar case that way? The justices heard his story and sentenced him to three months’ hard labor as a confirmed vagabond.

In the discussion of the application it came out that the church would required about 2000 gallons of water a year, the cost of which is 1s, while the first cost of a meter is 4 pounds 10s. It was decided that the by laws gave no option, and that if the church must have its shilling’s worth of water per annum it could only get it through a ninety shilling meter. HBH Dec 8th 1883 Local
