Perth Courier, May 18, 1860
I beg leave to acknowledge the receipt from the young men of this place at the hands of D. Fraser, Jr., the sum of $25.18. Mrs. Anne Dennison (note, we understand that about $100 in addition to the above has been collected by other parties ostensibly for the benefit of the widow but that she has not received as yet—can anybody tell what has become of the money? Or who has it? Or why it has not been paid over? Was the money collected under false pretenses? Shall we have to mention names?)
