— The death of Mr Robert Christison, one of the foremost Queensland pioneers, recalls the romance of a Berwickshire postboy whom he met out in the bush. James Nailan, the first postboy between Foulden and 1 Berwick, emigrated to Australia over 50 years ago. By working for two years he saved enough money to buy a yoke of oxen, and he made a small fortune by acting as carrier during the rush to Bendigo for the gold-digging. Mr Christison met him in " Bacchus Marsh," hiding for fear of attack by bushrangers. A feature of his equipment was a pair of bullock Jiorns, ostensibly filled with cart-gxeaso, but having secrcted in them 2060z of gold ,dust. Four years later Mr Christison met him again in Melbourne. Ho had saved £2000 as carrier, and bought land near the place chosen as harbour for Melbourne. As the result of his investment he was enabled to return to his native county and buy an estate of 1000 acres.
