Property

James Murphy purchased the site of the Family Hotel on 25 April 1882 at Section 11 lot 5, 2 roods, corner Darling and Wilson Streets, in Bourke, New South Wales, Australian Colonies.⁴⁵ He bought 2 roods of land from Edward Warmoll (licensed publican of Bourke) on 18 August 1882 at section 11 lot 4, Darling Street (next to the Family Hotel), in Bourke, New South Wales, Australia.²⁷ He bought land in a mortgagee sale from the London Chartered Bank of Australia on 1 December 1886 at East Bourke, section 10, lot 5, DP 958, comprising 2 roods 29.75 perches in Darling Street, in Bourke, New South Wales, Australia.⁴⁶ He transferred land to his wife's sister-in-law, Mary Ann Reed (wife of George Reed) on 16 December 1886 at East Bourke, section 10, lot 5, DP 958, comprising 2 roods 29.75 perches in Darling Street, in Bourke, New South Wales, Australia.⁴⁶ He applied to lease land on 26 July 1887 at Mooculta Holding in Bourke, New South Wales, Australia. Consideration of his application was postponed until the next court.⁴⁷ He acquired a special lease on 320 acres of land on 11 August 1888 at Portion 68, parish of East Bourke, County of Cowper, in Bourke, New South Wales, Australian Colonies.⁴⁸ He had his special lease cancelled on 3 September 1892 at Portion 68, parish of East Bourke, County of Cowper, in Bourke, New South Wales, Australian Colonies.^49,50 He had land put up for sale on 18 January 1893 at his special lease of 320 acres on the Brewarrina Road in Bourke, New South Wales, Australia. The government vendor set an "upset price" of 2 pounds ten shillings and three pence per acre that included the value of improvements worth 163 pounds 2 shillings and 4 pence. It must have been passed in because James Murphy seems to have been granted another 12 months lease. The land was portion 68, about 4.5 miles east of Bourke with a frontage on the Bourke-Brewarrina road and adjoining EJ Barton's special lease portion 43 on the east. When surveyed in 1896, the block had good fencing (about 12 years old = 1884) valued at 20 pounds per chain on the northern boundary. The eastern fence was not on the boundary, was old and had little value. The southern boundary fence had 3 wires and was valued at 18 pounds per chain. The westen boundary only had post-holes. There was an old loading yard 50 links square and a tank that was 7 links deep which had drains leading toward it that were worth only 1/2 per chain. The tank was badly positioned and dry. The vegetation comprised scattered coolabah and whitewood.^50,51 He forfeited his special lease of 320 acres for non-payment of 45 pounds in rent on 1 December 1893 at Portion 68, parish of East Bourke, County of Cowper, in Bourke, New South Wales, Australian Colonies. This would have been the rent due for one year⁵² He acquired land on 13 November 1894 in Bourke, New South Wales, Australia. He bought lot 2 section 11 (which may have been a residence attached to the Family Hotel).⁵³ He purchased 2 roods of land from the Australian Joint Stock Bank on 13 November 1894 at section 11 lot 2, Darling Street, in Bourke, New South Wales, Australia.⁵⁴ He failed to pay council rates on four properties on 7 March 1900 in Bourke, New South Wales, Australia. The properties were lot 3 (Prudence Murphy), lot 4 and part of lot 5 (James Murphy) in section 11; and lot 20 in section 38.⁵⁵ He mortgaged 2 roods of land to the Australian Joint Stock Bank on 30 July 1900 at section 11 lot 5, corner Darling and Wilson Streets, in Bourke, New South Wales, Australia. The bank foreclosed on this mortgage 3 years later.⁴⁵ He was taken to the Supreme Court by the AJS Bank (his mortgagee) on 30 April 1903 at section 11 lot 2, 4 and 5 in Darling Street, in Bourke, New South Wales, Australia. He owed the bank 400 pounds and advances secured by a mortgage over the Family Hotel on lot 5 section 11 (vol 38 folio 29). This property was sold by the Sheriff of NSW on 12 June 1903 to Louisa Ann Gow. The bank also brought a case in relation to his properties at lot 2, section 11 (vol 233 fol 181) and lot 4, section 11 (vol 260 fol 245). Lot 4 was sold by the Sheriff of NSW to Alexander Valentine Gow on 12 June 1903. Gow advertised as the new owner of the hotel on 29 July 1903. Despite his financial difficulties, James Murphy was not declared bankrupt. He must have managed to retain ownership of lot 2 (as he was to transfer it to Nancy Ah Louie on 3 Nov 1914). He may have dodged a bullet, because the hotel was completely burnt down within the year.^{56,53,57,58,59,45} He retained 2 roods of land despite legal action taken by the Australian Joint Stock Bank on 30 April 1903 at section 11 lot 2, Darling Street, in Bourke, New South Wales, Australia. Unlike his other properties, the bank did not have a mortgage on this land.⁵⁴ He lost 2 roods of land to his mortgagee after fieri facias on 12 June 1903 at section 11 lot 5, corner Darling and Wilson Streets, in Bourke, New South Wales, Australia. This land was transferred by the Sheriff of NSW to Louise Ann Gow.⁴⁵ He lost 2 roods of land to his mortgagee after fieri facias on 25 July 1903 at section 11 lot 4, Darling Street (the Family Hotel), in Bourke, New South Wales, Australia. This land was subsequently sold by the Sheriff of NSW to Alexander Valentine Gow. It burned to the ground less than twelve months later.²⁷ He sold a property on 11 May 1907 at Lord Street in Orange, New South Wales, Australia.⁶⁰ The executor for James Murphy sold 2 roods of land to Nancy Ah Louie of Bourke on 3 November 1914 at section 11 lot 2, Darling Street, in Bourke, New South Wales, Australia.⁵⁴
