Page, a former foreign policy aide, was suspected of being an agent of influence working for Russia, the paper said, citing US officials. The application covered contacts Page allegedly had in with a Russian foreign intelligence agent, and other undisclosed meetings with Russian operatives, the Post said. Late last year Comey threw more FBI resources into what became a far-reaching counter-intelligence investigation.

In March he confirmed before the House intelligence committee that the agency was examining possible cooperation between Moscow and members of the Trump campaign to sway the US election. MI6 declined to comment. In a report last month the New York Times, citing three US intelligence officials, said warning signs had been building throughout last summer but were far from clear. As WikiLeaks published emails stolen from the Democratic National Committee, US agencies began picking up conversations in which Russians were discussing contacts with Trump associates, the paper said.

European allies were supplying information about people close to Trump meeting with Russians in Britain, the Netherlands and in other countries, the Times said. About this time another prisoner was sentenced to seventy-five lashes for stealing a few oranges at Belmont.

West watched the pulse while the flogging was publicly administered. Horse racing was carried on in the year , the racecourse being located at Killarney, of which John Howe was secretary. There was another course at Wilberforce, to which visitors came from all parts of the colony. A local fair was held, regarding which we clip the following advertisement from the Government Gazette ;—"Windsor Annual Fair.

Gentlemen, Graziers and the public generally are respectfully informed that the Windsor Fair will be held at the Market Place, Windsor, on Tuesday, 10th June, , being the second Tuesday in the month of June, and that no charge is made by way of fee or toll for stock or articles offered for sale at the said Fair. John Howe, Clerk of Market, pro tem. In , the following were the Windsor contractors for the supply of stores, firewood, and cartage for the local Government survey parties:—Jas. Hale, Jas. McGrath, Jas. Thorn, and Solomon Wiseman.

The latter died on 12th January, , aged 61 years.

In the population of Windsor was 1, In it numbered 1, In it was 1,, and in the figures were 2, Richmond population was in The population of Windsor according to the census was 1, In the thirties a great change came over the street formation of Windsor. About , Glebe Street, afterwards known as Tebbutt Street, was surveyed off the Church Green and the allotments facing the Green sold. The Roman Catholic Church got their grant from this in A few years after, what was known as Cope's Farm was sold. It consisted of portions of the grants to Joseph Smallwood, and Thomas Riccaby, granted to them in and Thomas Riccaby died on the 15th May, , aged 67 years.

The land was sold by Laban White, on 5th July, The Cope family lived in the old cottage next the Presbyterian Church; the name appears in the Post Office Directory at The family assisted in the entertainment of Governor Fitzroy's family during their visit to the district in the forties. Maria Cope died on 14th May, , aged 57, while her son, Joseph Cope, died on 26th July, , aged 43 years.

Another son was drowned in the Hawkesbury River in , at the age of eight years. A few years later another street was opened, known at first as Brown Street, but now Suffolk Street. Up to the forties there was no settlement in the Newtown end of Windsor, but with the advent of the railway, in , quite a boom in house building took place in that quarter. With the forties also came another change.

The military were removed, and Windsor ceased to be looked upon as a military settlement. Phillip's Church, Clydesdale; and about the same time St. Peter's Church of England, Richmond. Besides these, flour-mills, tanneries, hotels, and other places were built. In came the first election, described elsewhere in these articles.. The same year the first local newspaper was started, and in order to give additional sensation to that year, the Windsor to Sydney mail coach was twice "stuck up" by bushrangers—on 1st May, and again on 23rd September.

During these "Roaring Forties" we find there were more than two public houses open in Windsor for every one found to-day. There are lists given of thirteen, fourteen, and sixteen bars in Windsor at the time, while the Hon. Walker says "there were forty public houses in and around Windsor," but this would include Richmond and several other townships along the river.

Cock-fighting, dog-fighting, and prize-fighting were favourite pastimes. Athletic and pedestrian feats were much in evidence, Windsor supplying several champions, who held their own in Sydney and Parramatta, as well as locally. Those who want further information on these gay times may find it by looking up Reminiscenses , W. Walker Windsor , , pp.

Fitzpatrick Windsor , We now come to the fifties, when things were quiet in Windsor owing to the rush to the new goldfields.

Amongst the citizens who begin to appear in Windsor public life we might mention William Walker, who built his home on the terrace, and planted a good old oak tree near the back door in The tree may be seen putting forth its Leaves in this the filet year of its life. Faux and Beard appeared in Windsor in , and established a large business, afterwards carried on by Greenwell and Co. Pulsford and Co. In the year there appeared a local magazine run in connection with the Debating Society, which flourished like a green bay tree in those days, and led to the establishment of the School of Arts, as will be seen elsewhere.

This paper was called the Windsor Review , and was edited by Jas. Kennedy, York Lodge, where he also kept a school for boys.

From its pages we cull a few notes of the doings of , and thereabouts. The wants of Windsor were then stated not as a railway or a bridge, but first, a Bank; second, a public well and pump; third, a public market and commercial exchange; fourth, a fishing company. Of these we may say the Bank came first. See Chapter on Banks. In an article on Richmond the leading residents are given as Messrs.

The country between Windsor and Richmond is described as all scrub. An inmate of the Windsor Benevolent Society, at the age of , having become tired of his surroundings, applied for permission to go elsewhere to reside. Ann Onus; Rev. Banks Smith—Elizabeth Walker. The population of Windsor and district was 8, An article on 5th October, , is very optimistic. This Windsor Magazine for has also a series of articles on Margaret Catchpole which, written so long ago, nearly sixty years, and so much nearer the time of her activities, should be worth studying by her numerous modern admirers.

The main history of the sixties will be found under the articles of this series dealing with the School of Arts, built in ; the Volunteer Movement, started in ; the agitation for the building, and at last the completion, of the railway in ; and the Big Flood, 23rd June, , when the river rose to the extraordinary height of sixty-three feet, and six lives were lost.

In another attempt was made to start a local newspaper, the fifth flutter of the kind since It was called the Windsor Advertiser , edited by Wm. Doyle, and ran from July to December, but the literary tastes of the town had to wait ten years longer for a permanent Press, for not till and did this enterprise become established in the shape of the Hawkesbury Times and the Australian, as will be seen in the article on "Newspapers". An effort to incorporate the town of Windsor in failed, notwithstanding the efforts of James Ascough and Thomas Primrose to get it going.

The Rev. Stiles, M. Matthew's Church. The great event of the seventies was the big fire which broke out in George Street, near the site of the Gazette office, at 2 p. A full account of the catastrophe will be found in the local and Sydney press of the time, so we need not attempt a full description. The Barraba Hotel, which stood on the corner opposite the Post Office, the Methodist Church and parsonage but strange to say not the school hall, which can be seen in the accompanying view of this big fire , two tanneries, the Oddfellows' Hall, and many shops and houses were destroyed.

The Sydney fire brigade was wired for, and arrived by special train about ten p. One life was lost. Relief funds rendered some urgent relief.
