    William Thomas B 1844. from "News of the Day'

    Mr. W. Wimbridge, the energetic proprietor
    of the Pioneer Carriage Factory, in
    Hay Street, has just competed the largest
    order off the kind which has ever been,
    undertaken in Western Australia. Mr.
    Wimbridge has, in fulfilment of a contract
    he entered into with Mr. A. B. Wright,
    turned out a splendid four-in-hand -buggy
    and no less than six large four-whfeeled
    skeleton waggons, together with a, number
    of space wheels, all the necessary fittings:
    and forty double bullock yokes; Each
    waggon is fitted with a powerful break, and
    the tires of the wheels axe 4 inches broad
    by 1in. in thickness. The waggons are
    constructed (with of course the exception:
    of the iron work, all of which was wrought
    by Mr. Wimbridge) entirely of W. A.
    timber York gum and morre which was
    personally selected by the buider from the
    large and thoroughly seasoned stock always
    kept on hand by Messrs. Sermon
    Bros., of Northam. These large vehicles
    were ordered by Mr. Wright to assist him
    in carrying out bis contract to run the
    telegraph line to the Kimberley goldfields
    and each one is builtto carry 100 iron
    telegraph poles, which weigh 1 cwt. apiece.
    Mr. Wimbridge completed the whole of the
    order within the short space of six weeks,
    which speaks volumes in favour of his
    ability te fill the largest orders within the
    shortest possible space of time and also
    bears practical witness to the completeness
    of his large establishment. The whole of
    the. vehicles have been photographed en
    masse by Herr Petz, and will be shipped on
    board the s.s. Otway tomorrow for transit
    to Wyndham.

    PERTH LOCAL COURT.
    Monday, February 7.
    (Before Mr. J. Cowan.)
    A Collision. — Elizabeth Mary
    Oliver, a spinster, residing at Guild
    ford, sued MewB and Wimbridge for
    £100 damages, sustained through a
    collision between a cart which she
    was driving and a waggon driven
    by one of the defendants' emploves.
    Ihe plaintiff, who was engaged in
    farming, used to drive to and from
    Perth with her produce. On Sep
    tember 11 she was returning from
    Ihe city in a spring cart, and when
    opposite tbe Racecourse Hotel she
    pulled up on her right ade to speak
    to a Mr. Richard Moore on business
    matters, leaving plenty of room, she
    contended, fcr the traffic to pass.
    Two four-horse teams, belonging to
    the defendants, were being driven
    past, and the first one got by safely.
    The second, which was without a
    driver, on account of bis having
    taken ill, struck her cart, overturning
    it, and throwing her out and
    breaking her leg. She had been
    put to. considerable expense for
    medical attendance, and had had to
    employ a boy to drive the cart to
    Perth, besides being incapacitated
    herself. Her misfortune was
    rendered more acute, as her family
    was chiefly dependent upon her.
    For the defence contributory
    negligence was alleged, the accident being
    attributed to the plaintiffs
    horse having refused to move when
    called upon by her. Mr. Cowan
    assessed the damages at £60, and
    gave a verdict -for the plaintiff for
    That amount, with costs.

    B.C. BISHOP OF PEETH.
    -At ten o'clock on Thursday last the

    Bishop diver, D.D., were commenced in
    the Catholic Cathedral, the consent of the
    Government having been obtained to the
    interment of the corpse within the walls of
    the sacred building. At an early hoar
    Citizens were notified of the event by the
    Union Jack being hoisted on the Town
    Hall tower half-mast high. Before the
    hour appointed for the .commencement of
    the mournful ceremonies all the available
    room in the Cathedral was fully occupied
    by an immense congregation, and among
    those present were to be seen his Excellency
    (accompanied by bis private secretary), the
    Hon. Capt. Smith (Acting Colonial Secret
    ary), the Hon. J. Forrest (Commissioner of
    Crown Lands), the Hon. Geo. Leake
    (Acting Attorney General), the Hon. A.
    O'Grady Lefroy (Colonial Treasurer), his
    Honour Mr. Justice Stone, his Worship the
    Mayor of Perth (Mr. Geo. Shenton, J.P.,
    MJjlC.), Sir Thomas Cockbum-Campbell,
    Bart., M.L.C., and Mr. W. £. Marmion,
    M.L.C. The memtets of 4he Perth and
    Framastie Catholic Benefit Societies were
    present is targe numbers, the members
    weaxmg their regalia shrouded with crape.
    The clergy In attendance consisted of the
    Bight Bev. Bifrhop of Port Victoria (Dr.
    Salvado, of New Noreia* Victoria Plains,;
    the Very Bev. the Administrator (Fr. IE.
    GJbney)- and the Bev. Frs. Martelli, Duff.
    Lon& Treacey and Kelly. The coffin had
    been placed under a canopy in the centre of
    the church, while the high altar was hung
    with sombre tfl^^w of mourning, and the
    sacred statues of the Blessed Virgin, S.
    Joseph, and S. Peter over the Altar
    were hidden from view by black
    hangings. Requiem Mass having been
    celebrated by Bishop Salvado, the clergy,
    accompanied by a number of Sisters of
    Mercy, proceeded from thejsanctuary tothe
    bier, where the Office of the Dead was said
    and the last absolution given. The coffin
    was then carried by members of the Catho
    lic Benefit Societies to the vault (which had
    feeen constructed directly in front of the
    High Altar) and the montal remains of the
    deceased prelate were lowered into their
    last earthy resting place. This was the first
    burial of a Catholic Bishop that has occur
    red in Western Australia, and all present
    appeared to be much affected by the solem
    ity of the occasion. We must add that the
    funeral arrangements had been entrusted
    to Mr. Wimbridge, who carried them out
    without the slightest hitch in the most
    creditable manner. Until the arrival from
    Boine of the Papal Rescript the ecclesias
    tical affairs of the diocese will be under the
    management of the Very Bev. the A^minfa.
    trator (Fr. Matthew Gibney), who, it is
    well known, has been selected by His Holi
    ness Leo XHL to fill the vacant high office
    of B.C. Bishop of Perth.

    A short time ago one of the mail vans
    employed on the southern road was over
    turned atBunbury, and thereby came to
    utter grief. The vehicle was subsequently
    sent to Mr. W. T. Wimbridge (the proprietor
    of the Pioneer Carriage Works, Hay
    street), for repair, and the work has been
    done in the most substantial and satisfactory
    manner. Mr. Wimbridge found it
    necessary to replace the whole of the upper
    portion of the van with new material, and
    as he had previously refitted the vehicle
    with new ironwork, the whole of the van is
    now in reality of his his making. The vehicle
    presents a very handsome appearance, and
    reflects great credit upon the establishment
    that bas turned it out.
