Jany. 18th 1869 There has been a very heavy sea running into the Bay this 2 days - I expect the Phoebe has run passed to Wellington - she could not come in - The Sturt left at 10 1/2 o'clock yesterday evg. - Koch intends to summons the Govt. if his bill is not paid for doing the addresses - There is some talk of starting a Company for a paper in opposition to the H. B. Herald. I have my idea that Mr. Towgood is looking for the Resident Magistrateship
