The Roughleys
Although the name took some time to standardise, the small, outlying settlement developed at a fairly early stage. Amongst the earliest settlers was James Roughley, who seems to have reached the area by 1830, when a daughter and son, Charlotte and James, had been born. James Roughley was one of two brothers who arrived on the Tottenham in 1818, transported for seven years. The Muster of 1825 reveals that they were settlers at Baulkham Hills. James married Harriet Kentwell in 1825 and probably moved to the Dural dis-trict shortly after this. He had two sons, named identically with the orig-inal brothers, James and Joseph. These sons in turn produced families which are still well represented in the district. James Roughley, Junior, married Lydia Hunt and lived from 1829 to 1908. His brother, Joseph, married Sarah Jane Tuckwell and lived from 1832 to 1912.

Mr. Real (instructed by Messrs. Atthow and M'Gregor) for the plaintiff ; there was no appearance for the defendant or the co-defendant.
This was an action in which John Nicholas Beneke, of Strathpine, timber getter, sought to obtain a divorce from his wife, Louisa Alice Beneke, on the ground of her misconduct with Alfred George Bird, of Kedron, labourer. The petition stated that plaintiff married the defendant, then Louisa Alice Powell, on December 31, 1907. The ceremony was performed by Rev. E. C. Osborn, in the Church of England, Kedron. The couple afterwards lived in Grove-street, Albion, for about 18 months, and then removed to the Crow's Nest district, where they lived together until December, 1909. There was issue of the marriage one child, which died in February, 1910. The misconduct was alleged to have taken place at Kedron and New Farm.
The plaintiff stated that the deceased child took ill at Crow's Nest, and in December, 1909, his wife brought it to Brisbane, where she stayed with her parents. Before she left she said she would not go back there. Witness himself came down to see the child twice, but it died in February, 1910. In the following month his wife returned to Crow s Nest, but said she had come only for her belongings, and would not live with him again. She left Crow's Nest, and witness had seen her only once since, and that was from a distance. She gave him no reason for going.
William Duckwitz, labourer, residing at Zillmere, deposed to having identified Mrs. Beneke for Nurse Baker and the bailiff.
Nurse Baker deposed to having attended Mrs. Beneke, whom she knew as Mrs. Bird. The latter was then living with Bird at New Farm.
J. T. Ballinger, chief bailiff of the Supreme Court, stated that the codefendant had admitted to him that he was the father and the defendant the mother of a chill, the birth of which had been registered in their joint names.
Francis Wm. Atthow, articled clerk, gave formal evidence.
His Honour granted a decree nisi for the dissolution of the marriage, and made it returnable at the expiration of three months. He gave costs against the codefendant, not to exceed £15.
