During the soccer world cup 2006, Munich's new soccer stadium had to remove its name because Allianz is not one of the main sponsors.
Odd or not - they brought the giant letters to the inner city and placed it on "Haus der Kunst" ("house of art") where an exhibition of the architects Herzog&deMeuron takes places right now. They also planned the stadium.
Covering two floors of this office building in Fleet Place, London, Mansfield Monk designed a fresh working environment that consolidated the two businesses who were relocating to the new offices. The design reflects the individuality, creativity and passion of both parts of the business.

History of the Vienna Hofburg
First residence
With the elevation of Austria to Archduchy in 1156, Vienna became a city of residence. From the residence of the Babenberg dynasty, who was located on the present site "Am Hof", unfortunately, there do not exist any remains anymore. After the extinction of the Babenberg, Ottokar II of Bohemia (1230-1278) took over by marriage the rule in Vienna and began in 1275 with the construction of a castle within the city walls of Vienna. This castle was equipped with four towers around a rectangular court that is known as Schweizerhof today. In the battle for the German crown Ottokar was defeated at the Battle of Dürnkrut by Rudolf I of Habsburg (1218-1291) and killed during the retreat.
As the old residence of the Babenberg in 1276 burned down, Rudolf probably 1279 moved into the former castle of Ottokar. The descendants of Rudolf extended the castle only slightly: castle chapel (documentary mention in 1296), St. Augustine's Church (consecrated in 1349), reconstruction of the chapel (1423-1426). Due to the division of the lands of the Habsburg Vienna lost its importance and also lacked the financial resources to expand the castle.
Imperial residence
Under Frederick III. (1415-1493) the Habsburgs obtained the imperial title and Vienna became an imperial residence. But Friedrich and his successors used the Vienna Residence only rarely and so it happened that the imperial residence temporarily orphaned. Only under Ferdinand I (1503-1564) Vienna again became the capital of the Archduchy. Under Ferdinand set in a large construction activity: The three existing wings of the Swiss court were expanded and increased. The defensive wall in the northwest as fourth tract with the Swiss Gate (built in 1552 probably by Pietro Ferrabosco) was rebuilt. In the southwest, a tract for Ferdinand's children (the so-called "children Stöckl") was added. The newly constituted authorities Exchequer and Chancery were located in adjacent buildings at Castle Square. Were added in the castle an art chamber, a hospital, a passage from the castle to St. Augustine's Church and a new ballroom.
First major extensions of the residence
In the area of "desolate church" built Ferdinand from 1559 a solitary residence for his son. However, the construction was delayed, and Maximilian II (1527-1576) after his father's death in 1564 moved into the ancient castle. His residence he for his Spanish horses had converted into a Hofstallgebäude (Stallburg - stables) and increased from 1565 .
Ferdinand I decided to divide his lands to his three sons, which led to a reduction of Vienna as a residence. Moreover, stayed Maximilian II, who was awarded alongside Austria above and below the Enns also Bohemia and Hungary, readily in Prague and he moved also the residence there. In 1575 he decided to build a new building in front of the Swiss court for the royal household of his eldest son, Rudolf II (1552-1612). The 1577 in the style of the late Renaissance completed and in 1610 expanded building, which was significantly fitted with a turret with "welscher hood" and an astronomical clock, but by the governor of the Emperor (Archduke Ernst of Austria) was inhabited. However, the name "Amalienborg Castle" comes from Amalie of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel (wife of Joseph I.), which in 1711 there installed her widow seat.
In the late 16th and early 17th Century only a few extensions were carried out: extension of a separate tract in the northeast of the castle for the Treasure and Art chamber (1583-1585) and setting up of a dance hall in the area of today's Redoutensäle (1629-1631).
Under Leopold I the dance hall by Ludovico Burnacini 1659/1660 was rebuilt into an at that time modern theater ("Comedy House"). 1666 Leopold I in the area of today's castle garden a new opera house with three tiers and a capacity of 5,000 people had built.
In the 1660-ies under Leopold I (1640-1705) after the plans of architect Filiberto Lucchese an elongated wing building between the Amalienborg Castle and the Schweizerhof, the so-called Leopoldine Wing, was built. However, since the tract shortly after the completion burned down, this by Giovanni Pietro Tencala was set up newly and increased. Architecturally, this tract still connects to the late Renaissance. The connection with the Amalienborg castle followed then under Leopold's son Joseph I (1678-1711).
After completion of the Leopoldine Wing the in the southeast of castle located riding school was renewed, the south tower of the old castle pulled down, the old sacristy of the chapel replaced by an extension. Under Charles VI. (1685-1740) the Gateway Building between cabbage market (Kohlmarkt) and Courtyard by Johann Lucas von Hildebrandt was transformed into a monumental triumphal arch as a representative sign of the imperial power. However, this construction does not exist anymore, it had to give way to the Michael tract.
Baroque redesign of the Hofburg
In the early 18th Century set in a buoyant construction activity. The emperor commissioned Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach with the construction of new stables outside the city walls and a new court library.
After the death of Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach, his son Joseph Emanuel Fischer von Erlach took over the construction management for the stables and the court library. 1725 the palatial front of the stables was completed. As already during the construction period has been established that the stables were dimensioned too small, the other wings were not realized anymore. The with frescoes by Daniel Gran and statues of Emperors by Paul Strudel equipped Court Library was completed in 1737.
Opposite the Leopoldine Wing a new Reich Chancellery should be built. 1723 was entrusted with the planning Johann Lucas von Hildebrandt. 1726, however, the supervision the Reich Chancellery was withdrawn and transferred to the Chancery and thus Joseph Emanuel Fischer von Erlach, who also designed the adjacent Court Chamber and the front to St. Michael's Church. 1728 the Court Chamber and the facade of the two buildings were completed. By Joseph Emanuel Fischer von Erlach was also the Michaelertrakt, the connection between the Winter Riding School and the Imperial Chancellery Wing planned. However, since the old Burgtheater the building was in the path, this was half done for a period of 150 years and was only completed in 1889-1893 by Ferdinand Kirschner .
Under Maria Theresia (1717-1780) the at St. Michael's Square located and only as remnants existing Ballhaus was adapted as a court theater. Beside the Emperor hospital in return a new ball house was built, being eponymous for the Ballhausplatz. Subsequently, there occured again and again conversions and adaptations: reconstruction of the comedy hall according to the plans of Jean Nicolas Jadot into two ballrooms, the small and large ball room (1744-1748). The transformation of the two halls (from 1760), repair of the Court Library, and from 1769 onwards the design of the Josephsplatz took place under Joseph Nicolas of Pacassi. These buildings were completed by the successor of Pacassi Franz Anton Hillebrandt. As an extension for the Court Library in the southeast the Augustinian tract was built.
Other structural measures under Maria Theresia: establishment of the court pharmacy into the Stallburg, relocation of the in the Stallburg housed art collection into the Upper Belvedere, razing of the two remaining towers of the old castle, the construction of two stairways (the ambassador stairway and the column stairways (Botschafter- and Säulenstiege).
Extensions in the 19th Century and early 20th century
Francis II (1768-1835) gave Duke Albert of Saxe-Teschen and his wife Marie Christine (daughter of Maria Theresa) the Palais Tarouca south of the Augustinian monastery. From 1800 this was remodeled by Louis Montoyer and extended by a wing building to today's Albertina.
1804, Francis II proclaimed the hereditary Empire of Austria and was, consequently, as Franz I the first Emperor of Austria. With the by Napoleon Bonaparte provoked abdication of the emperor in 1806 ended the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation.
1809 part of the old bastions was blown up at the castle in consequence of the war with Napoleon, and after it blazed. Towards today's ring road, then new outworks were created (the so-called Hornwerkskurtine and the Escarpen). In the early 20-ies of the 19th Century were layed out three gardens: the private imperial castle garden with two of Louis Remy planned steel/glass- constructed greenhouses, Heroes Square (Heldenplatz) with avenues and the People's garden (Volksgarten) with the Theseus Temple (Pietro Nobile). At the same time, emerged also the new, 1821 by Luigi Cagnola began and 1824 by Pietro Nobile completed outer castle gate.
1846 was built a monumental memorial to Francis I in Inner Castle Square. In the turmoil of the 1848 revolution the Stallburg was stormed and fought fiercely at the outer castle square and the castle gate. As a result, the roof of the court library burned. The political consequences of the revolution were the abdication of Emperor Ferdinand I (1793-1875), the dismissal of the dreaded Chancellor Clemens Lothar Fürst Metternich and the enthronement of Ferdinand's nephew Franz Joseph.
In the first years of the reign of Emperor Franz Joseph I (1830-1916) the royal stables of Leopold Mayer have been redesigned and expanded. As part of the expansion of the city, the city walls were razed and instead of the fortifications arose place for a magnificent boulevard, the Ringstrasse. 1862, the idea of an Imperial Forum by architect Ludwig Förster was born. On the surface between the Hofburg and the Imperial Stables should arise court museums (Museum of Art History and Museum of Natural History).
At the outer Castle Square (today's Heldenplatz) were in the 60-ies of the 19th Century the by Anton Dominik Fernkorn created equestrian statues of Archduke Charles (victor over Napoleon at the Battle of Aspern) and Prince Eugene of Savoy (victor over the Turks in several battles) set up.
After an unsuccessful architectural competition on the design of the Heroes' Square area in 1869 Gottfried Semper could be won. This led to the involuntary and not frictionless collaboration with Carl Freiherr von Hasenauer. Planned was a two-wing complex beyond the ring road, with the two flanking twin museums (Art and Natural History Museum) and the old stables as a conclusion. 1871 was began with the Erdaushebungen (excavations) for the museums. 1889, the Museum of Natural History was opened, and in 1891, the Museum of Art History.
On a watercolor from 1873 by Rudolf Ritter von Alt (1812 - 1905) an overall view of the Imperial Forum is shown.
1888, the Old Court Theatre at St. Michael's Square was demolished, as the new KK Court Theatre (today's Burgtheater), built by Gottfried Semper and Carl Freiherr von Hasenauer, was finished. The since 150 years existing construction site at St. Michael's Square could be completed. The roundel got a dome, the concave curved Michaelertrakt was finalized by Ferdinand Kirschner. The once by Lorenzo Mattielli created cycle of statues on the facade of the Reich Chancellery was continued with four other "deeds of Hercules' at he side of the passage arches. 1893, the Hofburg had finally got its ostentatious show facade.
1901, the old greenhouses were demolished and replaced by an orangery with Art Nouveau elements according to plans by Friedrich Ohmann (completed in 1910). In 1907, the Corps de Logis, which forms the end of the Neue Burg, is completed. Since Emperor Franz Joseph I in budding 20th Century no longer was interested in lengthy construction projects and the heir to the throne Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Este (1863-1914) was against the establishment of a throne hall building, but was in favour for the construction of a smaller ballroom tract, the implementation of the second wing was dropped. After the assassination of Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Este in Sarajevo, the First World War broke out. Franz Joseph I died in 1916. A great-nephew of Franz Joseph I, Charles I (1887-1922), succeeded to the throne, however, he held only two years. The end of the First World War also meant the end of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy. On 11 November 1918 the First Republic was proclaimed. As Karl although renounced to government business, but not to the throne, he had to go into exile with his family.
The Imperial Palace in the 20th century
The interior design of the ballroom tract and the Neue Burg continued despite the end of the monarchy until 1926. By the end of the monarchy, many of the buildings lost their purpose. Furthermore used or operated was the Riding School. The stables were used from 1921 as an exhibition site of the Vienna Fair ("Fair Palace"). In 1928, the Corps de Logis, the Museum of Ethnology, until then part of the Natural History Museum, opened. In 1935 the collection of weapons (Court, Hunting and Armour Chamber) of the Kunsthistorisches Museum (Museum of Art History) came in the Neue Burg.
1933/1934 the outer castle gate by Rudolf Wondracek was transformed into the hero monument to the victims of the First World War. 1935 emerged on the left and on the right of the castle gate the pylon portals with eagle sculptures by William Frass. In March 1938, the Heroes Square and the balcony of the Neue Burg gained notoriety after Adolf Hitler to the cheering crowd at the Heldenplatz announced the annexation of Austria to the German Reich. The Nazis were planning a redesign of the Heroes' Square to a paved parade and ceremony space. The plans were not realized since 1943 a fire pond at Heldenplatz was dredged and the place was later used for agriculture. In the Trade Fair Palace during the period of Nazism propaganda events were held.
During the war, the Hofburg (Imperial Stables, St. Augustine's Church, Albertina, the official building of the Federal President, the current building of the Federal Chancellery) was severely damaged by bombing: The first President of the Second Republic, Dr. Karl Renner, in 1946 the Office of the President moved into the Leopoldine Wing (in the former living quarters of Maria Theresa and Joseph II).
During the occupation time the seat of the Inter-Allied Commission was housed in the Neue Burg.
1946 first events were held in the Exhibition Palace again, and were built two large halls in the main courtyard of the Exhibition Palace. In the course of the reconstruction war damages were disposed and the Imperial Palace was repaired, the barn castle (Stallburg) erected again. In 1958, in the ballroom wing the convention center has been set up.
1962-1966 the modern Library of the Austrian National Library is housed in the Neue Burg.
1989 emerged for the first time the notion of a "Museum Quarter". The museum quarter should include contemporary art and culture. The oversized design by Laurids and Manfred Ortner but was downsized several times after resistance of a citizens' initiative. It was implemented a decade later.
1992 the two Redoutensäle (ball rooms) burned out completely. Yet shortly after the fire was started with reconstruction. The roof was reconstructed and the little ball room (Kleiner Redoutensaal) could be restored. The big ball room, however, was renovated and designed with paintings by Josef Mikl. In 1997 the two halls were reopened.
From 1997-2002 the Museum Quarter (including Kunsthalle Wien, Leopold Collection) was rebuilt and the old building fabric renovated.
Was began in 1999 with the renovation of the Albertina. The by a study building, two exhibit halls and an underground storage vault extended Museum was reopened in 2003. The Albertina ramp was built with an oversized shed roof by Hans Hollein.
In 2006, additional rooms for the convention center were created by the boiler house yard.

As the constructions of the reservoirs in Hong Kong in the past, villages were relocated by the government with compensation.
Shing Mun New Village 城門新村:
In 1933 the Shing Mun Reservoir was built and completed in 1937 to meet the increasing demand for fresh water in Hong Kong. The reservoir was completed in 1937. The local Hakka villages were resettled in other parts of the New Territories. The villagers in Shing Mun Village were relocated to Shing Mun New Village in Kam Tin.
Sam Mun Tsai New Village 三門仔新村:
The construction of the Plover Cove Reservoir necessitated the displacement of the inhabitants of a number of Hakka villages which were covered by the reservoir. The Hakka villagers were compensated by the Hong Kong British colonial government with apartments and shop units along Kwong Fuk Road in Tai Po which were built for their resettlement there. Fishermen who live at the original Sam Mun Tsai site, close to Pak Sha Tau, now at the northeastern shore of Reservoir, were relocated to Sam Mun Tsai New Village on the island of Yim Tin Tsai in 1966.
Sai Kung Man Yee Wan and Sha Tsui New Village西貢萬宜灣沙咀新村:
In the 1970s the Hong Kong government decided to construct High Island Reservoir and ten villages, including Lan Nai Wan爛泥灣村 (or Man Yee Wan Village 萬宜灣村, Pak Tam Chung and Sha Tsui, were submerged by rising water or fell within the catchment area of the reservoir after construction. The villagers were then relocated to areas near Sai Kung Old Town and Sai Kung Man Yee Wan and Sha Tsui New Village.

George Woodroffe Goyder migrated to the colony of New South Wales in 1848 at the age of 22 years and settled in Melbourne in the Port Philip District. In 1851 George Goyder relocated to Adelaide to meet up with the Smith family from England who were members of the New Church or the Swedenborg Church like he was. Both Goyder’s father and uncle were ministers in the New Church in England. He entered the SA public service in that year and later in the year he married Frances Mary Smith at Christ Church Anglican in North Adelaide followed by an unofficial wedding ceremony in the New Church in Carrington Street Adelaide. From 1851 onwards Goyder worked in the drafting office of the SA public service and in 1855 he was promoted to General Superintendent of Field Surveys. Then in 1857 he wrote a diary on his explorations to the north of the state. His explorations were reported in the press and Goyder become a known figure. The State Library has a copy of his original 1857 diary which in simply marked 1857 Dy (for diary) Sr O (Survey Office). His survey took him to the Pitchi Richi gorge, the Willochra Plains and the Flinders Ranges. Goyder and three others went further and discovered a large freshwater lake teeming with ducks, birds and wildlife which was Lake Blanche. Goyder made the mistake of thinking the lake always had fresh water and he never overestimated the nature of the South Australian countryside again. His boss Surveyor General Freeling had travelled around Lake Blanche before and had only found desert and his assessment was the correct one. Despite this error Goyder was appointed as Surveyor General of SA upon Freeling’s retirement in 1861 as well as Valuator of Runs and Inspector of Mines. Goyder held these posts and others until his own retirement in 1894 just a few years before his death in 1898. But before he retired Goyder bought the old Wheatsheaf Inn at Mylor in 1879. He then commissioned well known Adelaide architect Daniel Garlick to design him a grand Italianate house with several bay windows and 14 main rooms plus work rooms, cellar, stables etc on his 80 acre estate. The house which Goyder named Warrakilla was completed in 1883 when Goyder and his family took up residence on this magnificent country estate. Goyder was interested in tree conservation and the property had extensive river flats along the Onkaparinga. After his own death in 1898 his second wife Ellen died not long after in May 1899 and Warrakilla was put up for public auction in the Adelaide Town Hall in December 1899 but it appears son David John Goyder stayed on the property at Warrakilla until he sold it in 1907. After several short term owners the property was acquired by the Ernest Crafter family in 1924 and they kept the property more than 30 years. This grand house has been partially destroyed by fire twice including in the 1983 Ash Wednesday bushfires but it has been rebuilt as it was. The current owners feel sure George Goyder still roams the house as lights sometimes light up the front living room. The house is surrounded by a grand garden with English trees that date from Goyder’s ownership and above the front door a sand blasted picture of Warrakilla and the name enhances the entrance. Perhaps because of his great significance to the state of South Australia previous owners have maintained an interesting set of framed photographs of the Surveyor General Goyder on the walls of the sitting room. His linkages to this great house have not been forgotten.
The old Wheatsheaf Inn was opened in 1842 after William Warland purchased an original 80 acre section there in 1841. Many people called the inn Warland’s Hotel. It prospered because it was on the main road from Adelaide to Strathalbyn and gold was discovered along the Onkaparinga near here from 1852 with later much bigger gold finds at Echunga, Biggs Flat and Jupiter’s Creek from 1868. One of Goyder’s many roles was Inspector of Mines and he was undoubtedly well aware of the Warrakilla gold mine along the Onkaparinga at Mylor on the way to Hahndorf. It operated in 1852 only half a mile from Warland’s Wheatsheaf Inn according to Mr W.Chapman of Echunga who discovered the first gold there upon his return from the Victorian goldfields in 1852. One Adelaide Hills historian also claims that Goyder and his new bride stayed at the Wheatsheaf Inn after their marriage in November 1871 and it was known as a popular spot for honeymooners in the 1870s. Their son John Harvey Goyder was born 10 months after their marriage so perhaps he was conceived there? Perhaps this partly explains why Goyder purchased the Wheatsheaf Inn in 1879 and renamed it Warrakilla House. His links with the district were immediately cemented by Ellen Goyder laying the foundation stone of the Echunga Institute in 1879 and Goyder himself conducting the official opening of it in 1880.

Moving house can be a stressful, time consuming and costly process, which begs the question why do so many people choose to do it? From lack of space to a new job, this article will serve to explain the top 10 reasons why people decide to pack everything in cardboard boxes and move…
1. Need more space
First time home buyers positioning themselves on the property ladder often outgrow their starter home and need to upsize to a larger house with plans to start a family.
2. Upgrade
Deciding whether to improve your property or move house entirely can be difficult. Becoming restless at home is a common problem, with many people getting itchy feet to upgrade to a bigger, more desirable home.
3. New job
A new job can mean relocating to a different area if the commuting distance is simply too long or travelling from your current home to your new job is completely unfeasible.
4. Empty nest
When the kids are all grown up and have moved out of the family home, many choose to downsize to a smaller home as they no longer need all the extra space.
5. Relationships
Choosing to move in with a partner is typically a significant stage in any relationship and is one of the main reasons people relocate. It can often mean that one will need to sell their house if both owned homes prior to the decision. On the other hand, break ups can also result in moving house, as one person’s income may not be able to support the price of the home or one individual may need to buy the other out.
6. Visit family more often
For many people, living closer to their family is very important and can be one of the key reasons people choose to move house. As the family unit extends to several generations, parents want to be nearer their children, and grandparents prefer to live nearer their children and grandchildren.
7. Catchment area for schools
More and more people are moving house to catchment areas where their children will be a higher priority for admission to their school of choice. Parents who are keen to send their child to a particular school may not fall within the specific catchment area in their current home, meaning many decide to relocate.
8. Change of scenery/lifestyle
Those feeling unsettled in their current home or searching for a fresh start are most likely to uproot and move to a different location. Whether you want to move from the bright lights of the city to the peaceful countryside or vice versa, many decide that a change of scenery is the ideal option for them.
9. Cost of running a house
A change of income or need to save money means many choose to relocate to an area where the running costs of a house are much lower. From the price of the house itself to rent or bills, the expense of owning and running a house can cause many to move to a different area.
10. Changes in the surrounding area
Since originally moving into your current home, the neighbourhood might have significantly deteriorated for economic, social or physical reasons. This might mean that you choose to relocate to an area where you feel much happier and more comfortable in your surroundings.
Project biologists capture fish in Lake Creek and relocate them downstream, past the bridge work zone on SR 18, just south of I-90. Behind the fishers, another worker assists with stream diversion. The water is drained around the old culverts so crews can finish building the bridge and remove the barriers beneath the roadway. They will "rewater" the stream when bridge work is finished. The stream bypass and fish relocation occurred in early July, 2023.

This was a surprise to see today, while out at the Pumpkin Patch at Impossible Acres Farm. This is the Tank House, that used to be at the Hunt Boyer Mansion downtown, but was moved, and then vanished completely, presumed dismantled. Well, it wasn't - it was sold to this farm (for just $11), who had to cut it in half to move it, and are planning to restore it and use it as a proper historic tankhouse. Very nice.
I drew it previously (see: www.flickr.com/photos/petescully/4651356243), when it had forst been moved to make way fro the new Mishka's cafe, but when it was moved again I thought it was gone. Apparently not!
Residents residing on All Hallowes Road as well as those seeking adventure down the Fraser River can now access the road more safely thanks the addition of a left turning lane.
To make the area more accessible the west side of Highway 1 was widened and six utility poles were relocated. Also, along Highway 1, the west side of the slope had to be excavated and re-stabilized to accommodate these changes.

1865 Springfield Ave; an early Acme that opened in 1941. Most likely closed by the late 60s; became Rite Aid #1599 in 1985, which closed no later than the mid 90s, most likely after the store on Mill St. in Irvington relocated. Currently East Side Fitness.
Three level building between Lonsdale Street and McCrae Street (now Palm Plaza) in the centre of Dandenong. It was built in the early 1970's as now-defunct department store chain Waltons who traded on the lower two floors (the third was office space - now empty)
This store like most in Victoria was converted to Venture in 1983 after a significant loss incurred under the ownership of Alan Bond. Venture in turn went bankrupt in 1994 and it also closed.
Since the demise of Venture it has traded as Dimmeys for most of that period, except for a brief time when Dimmeys vacated due to rent issues with the building. During that time New Zealand-based discount store The Warehouse traded here on the ground floor only, with the first floor as storage.
In late 2013 Dimmeys are closing this store and relocating to another site in Dandenong.

I always make a search for snakes, toads and frogs before I mow the back yard. I found this little Northern Brown Snake in front of the shed. The snake has a scar (bump) on the second curve from the head but was in good shape - I let the snake go under the new shed (it is up on bricks).
there were times we could get out of the car and move very close before they would fly...other times the only shots would be from the car before they left to relocate

Mr. Stephen Lean. The jury returned a verdict of accidental death, adding that no blame was attachable to anyone.” [Express & Telegraph 24 Jul 1882]
“John Rundle Sandercock, miner, Echunga, deposed— Deceased was my brother. He was twenty-eight years old. On 16th June last was working in the shaft at the King Mine, near Echunga. Deceased and Edward Rule were there also. Were making preparations for putting in a set of timber. Soon after deceased came down a piece of ground, about four feet from bottom of the shaft, fell in and caused more to come from behind the timber, burying deceased entirely, and Rule up to his knees. Called immediately for assistance; and witness, Wm. Hammatt, James Climm, and Wm. Oates assisted to extricate deceased and Rule. The work took about 2½ hours. Deceased was seriously injured, and Rule (who is now in the Adelaide Hospital) had his foot broken. . . Stephen Lean, Manager of the King Gold Mining Company, gave corroborative evidence, and added that about 6 feet had been sunk under the timber in order to further secure the ground, which was a clay slate and not dangerous. Shaft was 80 feet deep at time of accident. . . Octavus Weld, legally qualified medical practitioner, cave evidence, from which it appeared that deceased had met with severe injuries from which blood poisoning set in, and caused his death.

It was originally fixed for the 20th inst., when poor Sandercock was still alive, but he getting very much worse that day, and death being clearly close at hand it was postponed.” [Southern Argus 3 Aug 1882]
