Murphy's - The Historic Hotel Fire at Castlemaine
Thrilling scenes were witnessed at the disastrous fire which practically
wholly consumed the Castlemaine Hotel early yesterday morning 26 April
The outbreak occurred at about 2.30 o'clock, but owing to the shortness of
time available and the impossibility of gleaning particulars only a brief
intimation of the unfortunate occurrence could be published in yesterday's "Mail."
The origin of the fire is shrouded in mystery.
Mr H. P. Tensen, the landlord, closed the doors as usual at 11.30 o'clock,
and when he retired to his bedroom, situated above the commercial room, with
his wife and child soon after mid- night everything was apparently safe.
Mr Tensen was awakened by the crackling sounds of burning timber, and he
hurriedly left his bed. Immediately he opened the door, however, a volume
of flame rushed up the stairway and dense smoke poured into the room.
Mr. Tensen, with great presence of mind, hastily fastened the door, and
then awakened his wife and six- year-old child, who were still sleeping.
The three made a hurried exit through another door and reached the narrow
balcony, with the flames closing in on them from every side.
Here they were compelled to remain until rescued from their perilous
position by Mr Thomas Howell, Mr W. Beattie and several others,
who promptly arrived upon the scene of the conflagration.
The flames spread with remarkable rapidity over the wooden portion of the
building at the rear.
Everything seemed quiet as usual, but a minute later a high tongue of flame
appeared through the roof of the hotel, and brightly lighted the adjacent
neighborhood.
This was noticed by the members of the night staff of the "Mail," as they
were leaving the office. They ran towards the burning building, and arrived
there soon after Constable O'Mullane, who had already set about the rescue
of the occupants. Mrs Tensen, who was on the balcony, was screaming
excitedly, as was also the child.
Several sheets were smartly tied together, and both mother and child were
lowered over the balcony to those below. Then Mr Tensen and his brother-in-law
(Mr Thomas Howell) who also occupied a room upstairs, slid down the
improvised rope to the ground. Nor did they leave a moment too soon, because
the flames were already rushing through the windows and spreading across the balcony.
The rescue was a thrilling incident, because it was feared that Mrs Tensen
might lose self-control and leap from the balcony. She was in a highly nervous
condition, screaming excitedly, and it was only with the greatest difficulty
that her husband prevented her from taking such a dangerous step.
When it was seen that the occupants were all safe, a couple of the rescue party,
under instructions from Constable O'Mullane, set off to the fire station, but
when they reached there the bell was already being tolled loudly.
Very few minutes elapsed before the hose-reel was brought to the spot, and, with
praiseworthy promptitude, six streams of water were brought into play upon the
burning building. The flames, however, had by this time gained a great hold on
the building, and it seemed unlikely that they could possibly be got under
control before the structure was levelled with the ground.
The large collection of firemen, under Captain Woolnough, effected invaluable work,
although it was found utterly impossible to save much of the furniture.
After several hours of hard fighting the flames were subdued, but practically
only the shell of the large building remains.
Firemen, police and civilians did all they could in attempting to save
property, but the burning building was like a huge furnace, and their
combined efforts proved almost fruitless.
The building — which is an old landmark—contained about 25 rooms,
the front portion being brick, while the rear was built of wood.
The owner is Mr Joseph Young, of Harcourt. The hotel was insured
for £8oo in the Commercial Union office (Mr G. Chaster agent), being made
up of £700 on the main building, and £100 on the stables and sheds. So badly
has it suffered that, at present, it appears doubtful if the portion standing
will be of any further use. The occupier, Mr H. P. Tensen, has lost practically
the whole of his worldly possessions.
After coming here from Tasmania, he managed the hostelry for some time, and
about four months ago he took over the business himself. He is a young man,
and was endeavouring to make a livelihood for himself and familv. He has two children,
but one is at present away from home. Yesterday morning it was most disheartening
for him to gaze upon the ashes of his enterprise. Only a few chairs and some
bedding were saved. The billiard table, which had recently been renovated,
and a piano were among the contents of the place.
Mr Tensen estimates his loss at £600. He expressed gratitude at the treatment
accorded to his wife, child, and himself, by several neighbors, in his trouble.
"And the firemen and civilians did excellent work," he said.
Stock, to the value of about £40, was carried, and a quantity of this was recovered from
the flames. The furniture, stock-in-trade, etc., were covered by a policy in the
Guardian Office (Messrs T. Odgers and Co., agents), for £300.
The clanging of the firebell, and the fact that the flames lighted up the whole town,
attracted a large crowd of people to the scene, and many remained there until the fire
had almost died out.
It is thought that the fire must have originated in the private parlor, which was built
of wood, and provided the entrance from Lyttleton street. However, nothing definite
can be urged as to where the fire started. Yesterday morning, the building was still
smouldering and the firemen in charge found it necessary to again put on the water.
During yesterday a large number of people visited the scene of devastation.
Mrs Tensen, when questioned yesterday, said that she did not remember much about the
occurrence. When awakened, she was greatly alarmed to notice flames beneath the bedroom
door. Her only thought was for the safety of her child. She took him in her arms, and
rushed on to the balcony. "I wanted to get Neil down safely," she said, "then I would
have jumped to the ground myself. I scarcely knew what I was doing, the sight of the
flames terrified me. I do not remember being lowered to the ground at all."
Mrs Tensen is suffering greatly from shock.
In the year 1854 a license was issued by the Castlemaine Court to Lawrence Murphy,
to retail fermented and spiritous liquors, in premises recently erected at the
corner of Hargraves and Lyttleton streets, and known as the Castlemaine Hotel.
It became better known as Murphy's Hotel, and it has a history equaled by few
country hotels, and at the present day is known by persons, high and low, in
every part of the Commonwealth. It was Castlemaine's leading and most popular
house for very many years, and its roof has covered men with a world-wide reputation.
H.R.H. the Duke of Edinburgh put up there during his visit here, Governors have made
it their stopping place, Judges, including Barry, Redmond, Higinbotham, and Madden
made it their headquarters when in this district, Robert O'Hara Burke, Vincent Pyke,
Nicholas Fitzgerald, J. B. Patterson, Duncan Gillies, John O'Shanassy, and other men
famous in Victorian political history, have spent many an hour there; while
distinguished tourists, and financial and commercial magnates, and literary celebrities
by the score have put up at Murphy's. In the early days, the gatherings of citizens for
convivial evenings are matters of history. Travel in any part of the Commonwealth,
and mention Castlemaine, and invariably the question is asked, "Is Murphy's Hotel there yet ?"
For over 50 years the license was held by the Murphy family, first by Mr Murphy, then
at his death, by Mrs Murphy, and in later years by their son, Mr L. B. Murphy, who a
few years ago retired altogether from the business. Since the license was first granted,
until the present day not a single conviction has been recorded against the licensee for
a breach of the Licensing Act, which speaks eloquently for the management. The license
was one of the first half-dozen granted in Castlemaine, and was issued about a month or
so later than that of the Criterion Hotel, which is the oldest licensed house in the district.
Almost since Castlemaine came into existence, the Castlemaine Hotel had been a prominent
landmark, and although its former glory has gone, it is to be hoped it will be capable of
repair, and once more provide accommodation for the travelling public.

A woman named Emma Shelton Stamp applied for an order of the court,
under the New Matrimonial and Divorce Act, to protect her property
from being interfered with by her husband, whom she stated had left her six months ago.
She had been married for ten years, and it appeared that since her husband left,
she had acquired a small amount of property, which she did not wish him to have
any benefit from. The case was postponed until Thursday.
On the 8 May 1865 Edward Shelton Stamp (No.613) attended a special meeting at the Geelong Insolvent Court.

Pioneers of Taralga New South Wales 1922
PIONEERS HONOURED. A REMARKABLE GATHERING.
Speaking on Saturday 29 April 1922, at the celebration of
the 152nd. anniversary of the landing of Captain Cook,
Sir William Cullen said: "We should be proud of the pioneers,
who by their courage and energy have helped to make Australia
what it is to-day."
Taralga is not only proud of her pioneers, she honours them.
What was probably a unique gathering, as far as New South Wales is
concerned, took place at Taralga on Saturday, 29 April 1922, when
the pioneers of the district were entertained at a dinner by a committee
representing the remaining residents of the township and district.
The following were the veterans present:
John Barry, aged 89
F. Baxter, 75
J. Bee, 70
C. Blay, 70
Walter Bradbury, 87
W. H. Bradbury, 79
J. Cameron, 70
Chas. Chalker, 81
Ted Chalker, 71
John Clifton, 73
Jas. Connor, 84
J. Cooper, 72
R. Cusick, 75
Geo. Corby, 69
J. Cosgrove, 69
Mat Daulton, 84
Thos. Fitzgibbon, 83
M. Fitzgibbon, 77
T. Gorman, 71
Pat Hearley, 82
W. Horne, 72
T. Horne, 70
Jas. Keogh, 86
T. McAlister, 69
Alex. McDonnell, 80
Angus McInnes, 72
Alex. McInnes, 82
J. L. McKenzie, 93
Chas. McKenzie, 80
K. McKenzie, 75
Colin McKenzie, 69
R. McLennan, 72
P. Mooney, 74
J. Ross, 76
C. Ross, 74
F. Sullivan, 69
J. Venn, 73
J. Williams, 77
W. M. Wright, 76
The oldest, Mr. J. L. McKenzie, bears his 93 years most ably,
while the youngest, Mr. Colin McKenzie, is a boy of 68.
Scotia thus headed and "tailed" the fine procession which filed into
the hall and sat down to an excellent dinner.
Cr. C. S. Bradbury presided, and in an eloquent speech paid a tribute to
the courage and hard work of the pioneers. Cr. Walsh supported, and
the toast of "The Pioneers" was drunk amidst great enthusiasm. Among other
toasts honoured were "The Pioneer Ladies of the District."
Mr. John McKenzie, the oldest of the veterans, who arrived in Richlands
in 1861, responded to the toast of the day, and Messrs. James Connor,
A. Mc-Innes, and Charles Ross also spoke.
Speeches were also delivered by the Rev. Mr. Bramble, Mr. C. Keith,
Mr. T. M. Chalker, Dr. Lyons, and others.
After the banquet a photograph of the group was taken.
The people whole heartedly went into the matter of entertaining the
veterans, and the response of those who were invited was most encouraging.
The lunch was prepared by Mrs. Spence, of the Argyle, and favourably
known as that good hostess's reputation is, on this occasion she excelled herself.
On arrival at the hall the guests of the day were met by Crs. Bradbury and
Walsh, and Messrs. A. E. Swan, M. Fitzgibbons, J.P., J. Alders, J.P.,
and others and treated to refreshments. They then dispersed themselves
around the hall, old friends meeting old friends, recalling old and stirring
incidents of the 40's, '50's, and '60's.
"You and I," said two men, well past 80, "went picking
up fleeces at Lethbridge's woolshed at Rockwell about 1855."
"Do you remember the cricket match we had about 1860?" said "Sandy" McInnes;
"W. H. Bradbury and Walter Bradbury, both present, were there,
and Rory McKay wearing a Scotch cap was fielding at long-on when a
catcher came his way, and he caught it in his cap."
But they were mostly horsey men in their day and generation.
Practically every man had done his 100 miles almost straight
on end for doctor or clergyman, and Paddy Hearley (82) had ridden
from "Lambing Flat" to Taralga in a day getting home in good time,
and not hurting his horse.
And didn't everybody remember the races on Humbug Flat, near Taralga,
when the prizes weren't very big, no bookies, and every horse was a trier,
and nobody thought a horse worth owning unless he could do a two or three
mile gallop. And later on Davis Hannabury had "Barebones," that won hundreds
for him, and later still Hillas had "Macaroni," and Martin Gallagher, recently
deceased, used to ride in Taralga.
All the pioneers present, down to the last one, are sons of the soil.
John L. McKenzie, of Fassifern, the father of the gathering, is 93 now,
and is 83 years out. "I came in '89, and George-street was nothing much
to look at then. My family later went to Illawarra, but then, as now, the
would-be-settler could not get on the land, and one of the worst droughts
the State has ever seen was just about winding up. Work was scarce, wages low.
The progress of Macquarie's day had given place to the stagnation of Gipps' term.
After a spell at the Snowy, the family came to Richlands and still no land
available only in isolated blocks of 80 acres, till Robertson's Land Act of '61."
And so this wonderful old man, who signs his name and writes letters with
the facility of a lawyer's clerk, tells his tale. "How old is Will ?" I asked.
"Oh, the baby, he was born on the 1st January, 1850."
And John Barry, of Hill Crest (89), is hale and hearty, able to eat like a boy,
and till very recently could ride about the Cookbundoon Ranges.
He bemoans the fact that Jack Williams ("Good old Black Jack"), who is 76,
is getting fearful and is not the man he ought be, at his age. But nobody
is sure of Jack's age, and barring Sandy Mclnnes - he is easily the youngest
looking man present.
There is a tradition in the Barry family that one day there arrived at the
old homestead a black boy, wearing only a long coat and generally
in a bad way. But Jack's star was in- the ascendant that day - Barry's has
been his home ever since, and a good home he has found it, and Jack has
been a good member of the family too, for he is treated like one. Jack can
still "shin" up an apple tree to get ripe apples for the kiddies, and any
day he will ride fifty miles for a pup. Recently Jack was confirmed by his
Lordship Dr. Gallagher, and he took a few days off to prepare. Anyhow Jack
reckoned the Bishop would not be "hard on him," because "once, when the
Bishop was only a young chap," said Jack, "I boiled his billy for him,
and he won't forget." Jack is a pious man still, and the only thing
worrying him on Pioneers' Day was the fact that there was Mass at
Myrtleville, but anyhow he felt pretty confident that Father Ryan
would give him a "Dispensation" if it was needed."
Walter Bradbury (87), of the Paling Yards, came to Taralga in '47 in Oct.
Grass was four feet high. The township was then called Trialgang, and
later Trialga and Taralga. It got its name from the three round hills
near the township. "The first races were on Humbug Flat. There was a
large tribe of blacks in the district, Miranda was the king. He was
buried at the Paling Yards, and I was at his wake," says Mr. Bradbury.
"There was a large ring made, and the body of the king was placed in it,
and fires were lighted all round to keep the 'Debil Debil' away.
The Macarthurs were at Richlands in these days, and left a good record
behind them. Sir Charles Cowper, who was Premier, had Chatsbury, and
the McAlisters had Strathaird and Lethbridge's at Rockwell."
James Connor (84) and M. M. Daulton (84) were both born in Taralga district,
and Sandy McInnes (82), who is the oldest native of Taralga present, was
christened in the old Strathaird Arms, Myrtleville, now John Miskelly's.
Pat Hearley (82) was born in Goulburn. Tom Fitzgibbon, Golspie (83), has
spent nearly all his life here, and it is not an unusual sight to see him
a dozen miles from home with a mob of fat bullocks at nine o'clock in the
morning.
John Keough (86) is still farming on The Meadows, but feels that he is
getting the old man on him a bit. W. H. Bradbury (79), C. Chalker (81),
M. Fitzgibbon (77), W. M Wright (73), John Ross (Hanapool (78),
Charles Ross, J.P.(75), as well as practically all the younger men present
are natives. John Ross, of the Abercrombie (73), rides in and out from
Goulburn when he has business to do, and practically every man in the
70's is actively engaged in farming, dairying, and grazing pursuits
The combined ages of these old people total 3645 years, an average of
76 years, or, taking a few of the youngsters out, the average is 80 years.
An analysis of the ages shows one over 90, 5 over 85, 7 over 80, 11 over 75, and
16 over 70.

Ship: OROYA; Arrival Year: 1887; Arrival Month: DEC; Age: 7;
Three times Mayor of South Melbourne, Hubert Allan LAYFIELD was born Allan Hubert Vincent Layfield in Wetherby, Yorkshire on the 11 February 1879;
and in 1905 at the Presbyterian Church in Dorcas-street, he married Margaret Josephine PRATT.
Margaret was the daughter of Alexander PRATT 1829-1903 and Alice Susannah FINLAY 1849-1932
(Alice Finlay arrived with her parents at Geelong on November 1, 1853, by the 'Credenda').
Margaret was born in Clarendon-street, South Melbourne in 1883, and Christened at the Dorcas-street Presbyterian church. Margaret Josephine LAYFIELD died on Sunday 27 July 1952, Her funeral service at McKenzie's Chapel took place about 50 yards from where she was born. The LAYFIELDS had been living in Foote-street, Albert Park, when she died. Margaret had three times been Lady Mayoress of South Melbourne;
H. A. LAYFIELD known as 'Harry' to his friends, was a hairdresser in City Road, South Melbourne and secretary of the Victorian Master Hairdressers' Association. Few could forget when he played the tearful mother-of-the-bride at a pageant before a large crowd of residents in the Dispensary Hall in July 1920. He, along with the South Melbourne Council and the Education Department established a Boys’ Club, The Montague Youth Centre, at Montague which included a gymnasium as well as teaching automotive skills, boot repairing, carpentry, tin work and toy making.

Layfield died in Armadale, Melbourne on 10 June 1966, before Layfield Court at 150 Victoria Avenue, was completed in 1967. The informant on his death registration incorrectly places his birth as being in South Melbourne.
Layfield said in later life that "he had seen the first cable cars run in the area, and the last,
and had been Mayor when the Spencer Street Bridge was opened, and also the first man to pass
over it in a motor car." *References: Miles; Priestley

The Age, Saturday 25 November 1916
Husband's Contribution Equals One Penny Per Week.
At South Melbourne on Wednesday, Lena Myrtle Layfleld proceeded against her husband,
Alexander Layfield, for the maintenance of her child
It was stated in support of the claim that the parties were married in August last,
but two years previously complainant gave birth to a child, of which defendant was
the father. They made up their minds quite suddenly to get married, and after the
ceremony defendant had no home for her except a room at his brother's house. As there
were only four small rooms to accommodate the brother, his wife and three other
children, she refused to live there, and defendant agreed to pay her 10/ per week,
on the understanding that he saved and made a home.
In the meantime. he gave her one 10/-, but there his effort stopped. No other money
had been paid her at any time by defendant.
For the defence it was held that the offer of a home was bona flde. Defendant
earned £2/7/- per week on permit at Kitchen's (soap works), and the offer he made was the best
he could make.
Mr. Moore, P.M: We do not consider the offer bona fide. In two years this man pays 10/-,
less than 1d. per week, and then has the impudence to come here and say he has offered
a home. Defendant is ordered to pay 10/ per week.
Mr. Stevens: You are keeping them apart forever.
Mr. Moore, P.M.: From what. I see of defendant, I think the order is more likely to
bring them together.
An order was made for the payment of 10/ per week, with £2/5/ - costs.
The children of Alexander and Lena were:-
Rose born 1915 and died 31 October, 1925 at Alfred Hospital, Prahran, Alexander and
Lena were living at 67 Elizabeth street, North Richmond at the time.
James Allan b; 1922, died in 1924 at Prahran.
Margaret Derry born 13 July 1925 at the Queen Victoria Hospital, Melbourne,
lived 12 hours.
Lena Died in 1968 and Alexander in 1969 at Castlemaine, Victoria.

Stephen Dorman, the Highway House, Sandridge-Road, granted.
James Lawler, Belle Vue Hotel, Little Collins-street, refused.
George Lewis, the Mazeppa Hotel, Spring and Little Bourke-streets, granted.
Patrick O'Connell, the Black Prince, Curzon-street, North Melbourne, adjourned. (granted 12 Sept.)
Edward Lloyd Robinson Smith, Yarra Club House Granted.
Benoni Salway, Yarra Steam Packet Hotel Flinders-street, refused,
as being next door to a new house.
George Walder, Golden City, Cecil street, refused.
Frederick Chambers, applied for a license for a restaurant
for the Cellar of the Hall of Commerce. Mr. Frank Stephen
appeared to oppose the application on the ground that the
restaurant was not required, or adapted for the business.
It was situated next door to the Imperial Hotel, and close
to the Criterion, and there were no accomodations
suitable for an Inn provided.
Mr. Trenchard supported the application on the
ground that it was a convenience much required by
the mercantile community. The Hall of Commerce
formed a centre of the public business of the city,
and a requisition for the establishment of refreshment
rooms had been signed by every member of the
Chamber of Commerce, save one ; and by a great
number of the merchants of the city.
The Bench adjourned the application.
George Coppin applied for a license for Coppin's Olympic Hotel,
Lonsdale-street. Mr. Head opposed the application, on the ground
that Mr. Coppin already held a license for the Olympic Theatre ;
this objection he considered must be a fatal one.
The premises were not such as would be entitled to a license: they
had not been constructed in accordance with the provisions of the act,
and were communicated with by several openings to the theatre. He
was sure that Mr. Coppin had enough already to attend to with theatrical
matters without the Bench imposing on him the Herculean task of another license.
Mr. Frank Stephen supported the application. Mr.Coppin had kept one of
the first hotels in Sydney, in Pitt street, and continued to hold his
license to the satisfaction of the citizens. He was then
connected with a theatre in Sydney, and if it were competent to him to
hold a license then, it would be now. The opposition to the application
had been got up by the proprietor of the house opposite. If this were
not so there would have been a petition from the neighbors against
the granting of the license, but no such a petition had been got up,
and he was consequently justified in supposing that the present
opposition arose from interested motives. The public-house opposite
did not afford sufficient accommodation to persons who frequented the
theatre, and the privilege had already been granted to the Theatre Royal.
The petition which had been presented to the Bench had been signed by
five or six hundred respectable persons in the city.
The application was granted.
Charles Jones applied for a license for his eating house, in Little Collins street,
for the establishment of a printer's club, for the convenience of the printers
of the city. A petition signed by a great number of compositors was handed to the Bench.
The application was refused.
