There are many people in the Dominion who will hear with great regret of the sudden death of Mrs Walter Nathan, of Wellington, the cabled news of which has been received from London, Mrs Nathan was the eldest daughter of the late Mr Jacob Joseph, a pioneer resident of Wellington and leaves a family of nine sons and daughters. Mrs Nathan was a most kindly, hospitable and philanthropic woman, and one of the chief workers for the Red Cross from the outset of the war. She was one of those who attended the first meeting called by Lady Godley and Lady (the Mrs) Luke, the Mayoress of Wellington, to make arrangements for Red Cross assistance in war time, and was a steady worker throughout the whole strenuous time.
Mrs Nathan was a continuous member of committee and vice-president of the Red Cross, following on to the peace-time committee, and full of kindness to those at the Red Cross Home, when they were situated at Trentham and afterwards at Hobson street.
The late Mrs Nathan was a member of the Sydney Street Soldiers' Club Committee, and a regular helper at the big evenings which were held there, and were such a feature of the lives of the trainees at Trentham.
Lady Luke pays a heartfelt tribute too to the general and continued kindness and generosity of Mrs Nathan, stating that she was always ready not only to give monetary assistance to those in distress but to give personal sympathy and effort, and Lady Luke adds a personal regret that another of the band of splendid workers who spent about eight years together at the Town Hall at Wellington has passed on, leaving a place that will be very difficult to fill. Much sympathy will be felt for the family of Mrs Nathan in their sudden bereavement.

The sum of ?241 had already been paid on the whole estate, including the native land, under the Deceased Persons' Estates Duties Act 1881; the Commissioner claimed a further 10 per cent, on the value of the native land, under section 17 of the Stamp Duty Amendment Act 1885. The question for the Court was whether duty was payable under the last-mentioned Act. Mr. Beere, for the executors, contended that the devise under the will was not a 'devise in fee' under the section, and he made the further submission that where the language of the statute was doubtful, it should be liberally construed in favour of the subject as compared with the Crown. He detailed the several Acts dealing with stamp duty and deceased persons' estates, and showed that under one of them a child of deceased would be a native, under another a European, and so on. Mr. Myers, for the Commissioner, replied on the points of law. The Court reserved judgment.

... From the Hawera & Normanby Star 16 September 1904
Judgment was given by his Honor the Chief Justice on Wednesday morning in the appeal Mary Jane Jillett and Herbert John Jillett v. the Commissioner of Stamps. Plaintiffs are the wife (European) and son of the late Wm. Jillett (half-caste), and under deceased's will are trustees to convert his land and divide the proceeds among deceased's wife and children, as provided in the will. Section 17 of the Stamp Act, 1882, Amendment Act, 1885, provided that an additional duty of 10 per cent be levied on every 'conveyance on sale or devise in fee' of native land, "whereby the right to such land shall first vest in a person other than a native." His Honor said that deceased, being a half-caste, was a "native" under the Act mentioned, and that there is a "devise in fee" to persons (the trustees) who are not "natives" under the Act, but that it is not a "devise in fee whereby the right to the land vests" in the said trustees. The "right" to the land did not vest in the trustees. They could not have given a title to a purchaser without obtaining probate of the will from the Native Land Court. The transaction therefore did not come within the terms of the section. The appeal must be allowed with ?10 10s costs. In the course of his judgment, his Honor remarked that the Court is concerned only with the interpretation of the statute, not with the possible harshness of a provision that if a native leaves his property to his children, and the mother is a European, the children have to pay, in addition to the ordinary duties payable by Europeans, a 10 per cent, duty beyond.

- Jane was killed aged 22 when their primus stove burst
- Sidney was put in the custody of Ernest's mother Frances (who, at sme stage, also brought up 1 of the children of his 2nd marriage)

- Ernest next married Laurestina ROBERTSON in 1915
- they had 5 chldren, the 5th child being the cause of the paternity suit at the link below
- when Ernest divorced Laurestina he gave her some of their furniture and ?120, it being arranged that Victor Clapp, on marrying Laurestina, would take over the future liability of ALL the children. However, 2 of his children were with his mother and at least 1 (possibly more) was in a Government Institution in Nelson

... Laurestina next married Victor Maldon CLAPP in 1925 and this triangle of Ernest Gilbert HARE + Laurestina + Victor Maldon CLAPP has been one of my most challenging and intriuging research to date - remembering that Ernest's mother was a CLAPP & his father had the middle name MALDON (where is the connection ???) ... research continuing
VICTOR MALDON CLAPP was born in Ballarat, Victoria (as was Ernest's mother) on 20 Nov 1897, a son of ALbert Edward CLAPP & Margaret Ann HOPE. He died 8 August 1972. He is buried in Drouin Cemetery. His (at least 2nd) wife, Louisa RENDELL (born in Warragul, Victoria) died 25 July 1966 aged 77. She is also buried at Drouin cemetery. Her headstone reads:
In loving memory of
LOUISA CLAPP
died 25 July 1968 age 77
beloved wife of
VICTOR
loving mother of
FLORENCE, JAMES, EDITH, ROBERT, GRAHAM, PHILLIS

... Laurestina & Victor applied for a divorce in Oct 1926 for non-consummation of marriage.
In 1927 they were living at 199 Melbourne road, Island Bay, Wellington
THEN in Nov 1929 a decree nisi, to be moved absolute after 3 months, was granted to Laurestina Clapp in an undefended case in the Wellington Supreme Court, claiming Victor's desertion

- Ernest next married Doreen Monica FAHEY (1900-1988) in 1925

From TWO HUSBANDS WITH A SINGLE THOUGHT - Extraorindary Revelations of Matrimonial Muddle by Man Who Made Three Eventful Trips To Altar
... a most extraordinary position has arisen in connection with a child, and while Hare is clapping the paternity on to Clapp, the latter claims that Hare is the father and Hare refuses to be chased out of the camp. Sergeant Lander, who appeared for the Education Department against Ernest Gilbert Hare, respecting the maintenance of two children, and against Victor Maldon Clapp in respect to the maintenance of one child, the destinies of these two men having been thrown together through the marriage by one of the other's divorced wife. Really the pivot of the case was whether a child born to Mrs. Clapp two months after the marriage was Clapp's or Hare's.

4 August 1910 DISPUTED MORTGAGE
- (a Court Case concerning Francis Jane, her son Ernest Gilbert Kimberley Hare and her son-in-law William George Somerville who had married her daughter Lydia)
- CLAIM OF A MONEY LENDER, AN IMPORTANT JUDGEMENT
... Sitting in civil jurisdiction, Mr. W. R. Haselden, S.M., gave reserved judgment at the Magistrate's Court to-day in the civil action brought by Cyril William Tanner, solicitor, and registered money-lender, of Wellington, against Francis Jane Hare and Ernest Gilbert Kimberley Hare, a claim for ?100 as balance of principal money alleged to be due by defendants to plaintiff under the provision of a mortgage executed by defendants in favour of Tanner. Defendants counter-claimed ?100 damages and costs of the action
- POINTS IN THE CASE
The Magistrate, in the course of a lengthy judgment, said that the bare facts of the case were as follows:- William George Somerville (a speculating solicitor in embarrased financial position, a son-in-law of Mrs. Frances Hare, not joined as a defendant, and now bankrupt), had borrowed money from Tanner, and was in arrears with both principal and interest, he was the third mortgagee of a property at Kelburne, over which Tanner held a second mortgage. Somerville had sub-mortgaged his third mortgage to a Mrs. Butler. Tanner sold the property through the Registrar, and bought it for less than was owing to him, thus rendering Somerville's third mortgage valueless, and, of couse, depriving Somerville's mortgagee, Mrs Butler, of her security. Tanner and Somerville arranged that Mrs Hare and her son, who together held a mortgage of ?1200 over some land at Island Bay, should join with Somerville in purchasing the Kelburne property ... read the case here
