Cleland, Jane

Evening Post 8 September 1890
...
We have to record the demise of Mrs. Margaret Cleland, who has passed away at the age of 79 years. The deceased lady was the widow of the late Mr. Cleland, who for some years was Captain and Adjutant of the Hutt and Wairarapa volunteers. Mr. Cleland was at one time sergeant in the Imperial Army, and obtaining his discharge at the conclusion of the Crimean war, he emigrated to New Zealand and commenced storokeeping at the Lower Hutt. He subsequently did duty with the volunteers in the Wellington districts, and it was whilst visiting the militia and volunteers in the Wairarapa that he sustained a fatal accident. The deceased lady has left two sons — Mr. R. Cleland, Chairman of the Hutt Town Board, and W. Cleland, storekeeper, Taita — and two married daughters to mourn their loss.

DEPARTURE OF THE REV. T.B. HUTTON.
It is with feelings of mingled pleasure and regret that we publish, below, the copy of an address, presented yesterday, to the Rev; Mr.Hutton, Incumbent of the Hutt. The harmony and good will that have mutually existed between Mr. Hutton and his parishioners; must be a source of the most pleasurable satisfaction to all who in any way appreciate the advantages of the Christian Ministry; while the circumstances under which the reverend gentleman is obliged to resign the charge he has held for the last eleven years, must occasion the deepest regret to every one. The Hutt inhabitants and their minister have so well expressed the feelings of Christian sympathy existing between them, that we need add no comment of our own, further than to express our desire, that in the milder region of the North, Mr. Hutton may regain his failing health, and be enabled to act out, in some congregation there, these warm feelings of his heart, which has prompted him, heretofore, to spend and be spent in the high service to which he has been called.
The presentation of the adddress was accompanied by a purse containing 130 pounds an amount as highly creditable to the liberality of the people of the Hutt - remembering the many floods to which they have lately been subjected - as the address is to the honesty of their hearts. This exemplification of their faith by their works, must have been as welcome to Mr. Hutton as was the offering of the affectionate Phillians to the great Missionary Apostle, "not because he desired a gift, but that fruit might abound to their account," and may, we sincerely trust, prove like it, "an odour of a sweet smell, a sacifice acceptable, well pleasing to God."
THE ADDRESS.
TO THE REVEREND T BIDDULPH HUTTON, B.A.,
INCUMBENT OF THE HUTT.
The inhavitants of the Hutt, and other settlers in the Province, join the Members of your Congregation of Saint James and Christ Church at the Hutt, in desire, before you take a final leave of them, to record their estimation of your pastoral services.
Your removal from this sphere of ministerial labour woyld have occassioned us regret under any circumstances, but the protracted illness which now deprives us of your presence and services, materially increase that regret, and we beg to assure you that our sympathies are therefore peculiarly engaged on your behalf.
We cannot forget that you were the first clergyman of the Episcopal Church who came to reside in the Valley amoungst us, and establish in the Valley regular morning and evening services in lieu of the occasional ministrations on which we previously had to depend.
This work of conscreation of a new settlement, if we may be premitted so to express ourselves, necesaarily partakes of a missionary charcter, and the energy and devotedness you have brought to this work is sufficiently attested by the enlarged building of Saint James''s, and the entirle new structure of Christ Church, for which increased church accommodation we are mainly indebted to your exertions.
The elevn years which you have thus spent amongst us, as an active resident pastor, has been marked by many visitations of Providence, under which we have all, more or less, been sensible of your warm Christian sympathy.
And we are sure that the Europeans will not be the only inhaitations who will regret your departure, for your ready aid to the Native settlers has been on all occassions remarkable.
We assure you that you take with you our earnest wishes for your restoration to health, and for the welfare of Mrs. Hutton and your children, and we add our ferent hope that you may be long spared to preach to other congregations the Gospel of Christ.

THE RELPY.
My Dear Friends,
At a time like the present, when the true affections of the heart are brought into action, you must pardon me, if on reply to your most kind expression of regard, I lay aside the conventionalisms of common life, and speak as I truly feel. It is a cause of deep sorrow to me that it has pleased God to remove me from amongst you.
From you all I have ever exprerienced kindly aid and co-operation in carrying out any plans for the advancement of religion in this valley. We together have seen the growth of the settlement We have together passed through the trials of the earthquake and the flood in joy and in sorrow we have been united. This would have been sufficient in itself to have caused me to regard with sorrow the prospect of being removed from you; and when you think that in addition to these, there are also other easons for such a feeling, reasons which can be understoon by none so well as by the Christian Pastor, who is the different ministrations of his office becomes united to all in the most intimate relations of life, in the Baptism of your Babes, in the marriage of your young men and maidens, and in the burial of your dead; you may better imagine what my feeling must be in parting from those do dear and kind to me and mine. It was a fond hope that as I had lived, so that I might have died amongst you and have been buried under the shadow of one of these churches in which I have ministered, But God has willed it otherwise. With regards to my work amongst you - what was well done, was done by God''s help; to Him therefore be the praise, I thank you most sincerley for your kind wishes for my dear wife and

-
We regret to record a very sad accident in Willis-street last evening by which Mr. and Mrs. Mullins, of the Lower Hutt, sustained a most painful bereavement. They were driving homeward from Mr, Anderson''s house at the head of the street, their four children also being in the vehicle, when their horse bolted in the cutting and Mrs. Mullins becoming alarmed, jumped out with the youngest child Beatrice Kate. The child fell on its head and was killed instantaneously. Mrs Mullins was much, shaken, but not seriously injured. The other children remained in the trap and beyond the fright were not harmed. Mr. Mullins was able to retain his seat and ultimately, to pull in the refractory horse. Dr. Harding promptly attended, and rendered all possible medical aid. An inquest was to be held this afternoon.

Wanganui Chronicle 27 January 1875

When about half way down the steep cutting which leads from Mr Anderson''s residence, the horse bolted, throwing Mrs Mullins and the four children out of the trap with great violence. The youngest child, Kate Beatrice, appears to have fallen upon her head, for when the poor little thing was picked up it had breathed his (sic) last. Mrs Mullins and the three children, although they received no very serious injury, got a severe shaking Mr Mullins succeeded in keeping his seat and reigning in his horse after it had run a short distance.

MARRIED WOMEN''S PROTECTION ORDERS.
Jane Mullins applied for a married women''s protection order on the ground of her husband''s ill-treatment and neglect. Mr. Fitzherbert appeared for the applicant, who gave evidence to the effect that she had been frequently ill-treated by her husband (Thomas Mullins) during the past few months, and had been utterly neglected by him owing to his drunken habits. James Wilson gave corroborative evidence. The evidence for the defence was a complete denial of applicant''s statement. An order was made that Mrs. Mullins should have the custody of two children, but the Bench did not see their way clear to make an order for maintenance.
