Lot No.4 in the Sale by Auction of the Estate of the late Isaac
Jackson, Monday 26th May 1788.
<Seemingly
not sold>
The property of Mr. Isaac Jackson, offered for sale Monday
18th August 1788, Lot 5, then in occupation of John Lyng. .
Address as Church Alley in 1830,
Soutergate in 1836,
as Opposite the Church in 1845,
at Southgate Street in 1839, 1842, 1845, 1850, 1851 & 1854
Soutergate ran from Rosemary Lane, along the South side of St. Marys Plain to Pitt
Street.
It was reported that on 22nd February 1851, Benjamin Thomas Heyden,
landlord, had refused to billet a recruit because the sergeant of
the 98th Regiment of Foot had had presented the recruit after 9:00pm
which was thought to be after the time specified by law. Owing to
persisting with his refusal, even when a second sergeant made the
request, Mr. Heyden was charged under the Mutiny Act.
It was stated that in fact the said Act did not specify a time, but
since the sergeant had delayed presentation from 6:00pm, when the
billet was originally allocated, to the late hour, no conviction was
pressed for and the charge was dismissed. However Mr. Heyden was
ordered to pay 12s, which was to go to the sergeants for their
trouble.
House no. 347 on
1845 Magistrates list.
