" The Goulburn justices were occupied ou Thursday, April 22nd," the Sydney Evening News states, " with the hearing of a case in which William Millard oharged William Buoy an with the illegal detention of a clock, and the local newspaper gives the following interesting information :—' It seems that the complainant is married to a niece of the defendant, and it was stated by Mr Betts, who appeared for the complainant, that the clock in dispute had been in the family for two or three hundred years, and had formerly belonged to John Bunyan, the celebrated author of the " Pilgrim's Progress." John Bunyan is said to have been ancestor to the present defendant. The clock was described as in an oaken case, and standing about 6ft high. The defence was that the clock had belonged to the defendant when he was in England many years ago, and that the complainant, who had but recently arrived in the colony, had brought it out for defendant. After hearing the evidence the Bench held that the balance of testimony was in favor of defendant, and declined to make any order in the case.'"
