William, residing at Boddytown
Thomas, of the Postal Department
Frank, in the Union Bank at Blenheim
Mrs Cooney, (Katie May) Hikurangi (Northland)
Mrs McDonald, (Annie Gertrude AND/OR Florence Harriet) Stratford

Annie Duffy, Stratford
Nellie, Rita and Lucy in Greymouth


TIME LINE
In November 1881 Denis asked for a refund of his deposit on the contract of No3 section, for Deep Creek track, on the ground that he had made a mistake through being misled in the way of information and for other reasons. The chairman moved that the Council refund the balance after deducting the expense at which the Council was put to in the matter. Councillor Ryall spoke of the necessitous condition of the applicant and thought the Council out not to be too strict with a poor man. Councillor Madden pointed out that if Mr Duffy had not tendered the next man who tendered, and who might also be a poor man, would have got the contract and the Council would have been saved any trouble and expense in the matter. The Clerk of the Grey County Council informed Denis that his application could not be entertained in its present form as to do so would establish a dangerous precedent.
