Always known as JOHN, his occupation was listed as Carter. He seems to have called himself John Elijah Jones, but sometimes John Elijah Howells is used as well in various newspaper articles etc.
John and Helen were married at St Peters Church of England, Eaglehawk by William Eglinton. Witnesses to the marriage were William Henry Perrin and Phoebe Kidd.
The Bendigo Independent (Vic. : 1891 - 1918) Tue 16 Jun 1891 Page 2 HUSBAND AND WIFE.
HUSBAND AND WIFE.
WHAT CONSTITUTES LEGAL
CRUELTY?
At the City Police Court yesterday, before Mr. Patterson, P. M., and Mr. McGowan, J.P., Ellen Jones proceeded against her husband, John Elijah Jones, a well-to-do farmer and grazier, living at Mystic Park, between Kerang and Swan Hill, for maintenance.
Mr. Kirby, for the plaintiff, said that his client had been treated in such a manner that she was afraid of him, and had left the house.
Mr. Tatchell, for the defendant, remarked that the husband was willing to take her back to her home and treat her in a proper manner; therefore the case must be dismissed. The defendant was then placed in the witness-box, and stated that he was willing to take his wife and three children back to his home, which was a comfortable one.
Cross-examined by Mr. Kirby: The house - a four-roomed weatherboard one - had no fireplace, but there was one 19 yards away. He told her, after she had done the "disappearing trick so neatly," that he did not want her again, but he wanted the children. He denied having said that if he got her back he would lead her the life of a dog. She had a hot temper, and he had struck her, as she
would not " shut up" when he told her.
Mr. Kirby said that the wife was justified in leaving the house, and that the justices could make an order for maintenance provided that they were satisfied that the offer of the husband to give her a home was not a genuine one.
Samuell Mitchell, who had been Iiving at the defendant's house for the last five years as a laborer, swore that after Mrs. Jones left the house, the defendant asked him if he had seen anything suspicious between her and a man named Riley. Witness replied "No," and he then asked him if he had seen or heard anything between him and Mrs. Jones. Witness replied that he bad, and the defendant wished him to promise that he would say nothing about his having threatened to shoot her. Witness refused, and said he would tell the truth. The defendant had told witness that if he got his wife back he would "lead her a dog's life." He also said, "Now she's gone she can - well go ; I'll soon get another one here." Witness had heard him tell her to go away, and that she if she paid him the four guineas he paid for her (meaning the marriage fee, etc.). He had never heard the plaintiff use bad language, but they had not lived happily together.
Thomas O'Dwyer, a lad who had been in the employ of the defendant for seven months, stated that he had heard him threaten to blow out his wife's brains. He said he did not want her to return home.
Mrs. Jones, in her evidence, swore that her husband, had treated her brutally. He had on three occasions threatened to shoot her, and on one occasion, a few months ago. struck her behind the ear with his clenched fist. This had caused clotted blood to issue from the nostrils at times ever since. She was now being attended by Dr. McKee. He had compelled her to get up at daylight, and, with a gun, stand all- day in the fields, to keep the birds away from the crops. In addition to this, she had to do her household work but he never appeared to be satisfied. When confined, she was not properly nourished, and had not lived happily with him since he wanted her to mind sheep about five years ago. He had 5000 acres of land, 1400 sheep, also Implements, etc. He had acknowledged that she made £70 a year with butter. She denied that she had an open purse, and could spend what she liked. She had to account for every penny, and was compelled to take in washing to raise some money for herself. He even "borrowed" this money from her, and would not return it.
Mrs. Stanley, mother of the plaintiff, who is a young woman, gave corroborative evidence
.
J. BL Curnow, accountant in Messrs. Connelly and Tatchells office, gave evidence that he interviewed the plaintiff, who refused to go back to her husband.
In conclusion, Mr. Patterson, briefly said: It's a very serious thing. Jones makes the offer that he will treat her properly, and if he does not behave properly to her she will have to take other steps. The case is dismissed.
The Herald (Melbourne, Vic. : 1861 - 1954) Thu 23 Jul 1891 Page 2 TOPICS OF THE DAY.
TOPICS OF THE DAY.
Dr Madden made an application to Mr Justice Webb in the Practice Court this morning upon behalf of John Elijah Jones, of Mystic Park, near Kerang, farmer, for a writ of habeas corpus directed to Helen Jones, requiring her to bring before the Court their three children for the purpose of having them restored to the applicant. It is alleged that on the 15th of May, 1891, Mrs Jones left her husband's place with their three children without permission, and had remained away at her parents' place near Bendigo, refusing to return home or give up the children, though repeatedly requested to do so. His Honor granted the application, and made the writ returned on Wednesday next.
John died in 1913. An inquest was held into John's death. John had been in poor health for many years. He was sitting on his front verandah at Swan Hill on the evening of his death. A man he knew, Thomas Butterworth, walked past and John invited him to come and have a chat. John's wife came onto the verandah and gave John some medicine. He then fell over backwards and said he needed a doctor. John and Ellen's son in law, James Attrill was also present at the time. Thomas Butterworth claimed that John said "I'm poisoned", however, Thomas admitted that he knew John had been taking this medicine for a couple of weeks. His wife explained that he had seen a Chinese doctor who had prescribed the herbs which she brewed and John drank daily. The concoction was sent to a pathologist, who subsequently analysed same and found it to be a herbs that resembled those used by the Chinese for medicinal purposes and stated that he found no substance of a poisonous nature. Unfortunately the last page of Ellen's evidence to the court is missing.
The inquiry was held into John's death, at Swan Hill on 4 February, 1913 before John Ramsay JP, Deputy Coroner.
The Farmer and Settler (Sydney, NSW : 1906 - 1955) Fri 31 May 1907 Page 8 FOXES AND THE SMALL MAN.
FOXES AND THE SMALL MAN.
Mr J.E. Jones, of Howell Farm, Balranald, referring to Mr W. J. Gallagher's letter concerning foxes in the Mudgee district, gives his personal experience of the past. Quote:-
Last year I lost about 30 lambs through the foxes, so this year I thought it well to lay a few baits before lambing time, hoping to get three, or at most four, of the vermin.
I killed a sheep, drew the paunch and laid baits about four chains apart. Next morning 1 got two. Every morning afterwards for three weeks I went round the trail laying fresh baits of fat and during that time I secured 45 foxes. All these wore caught in one paddock of 500 acres with station country adjoining on both sides ; and still they come! I asked the manager of the station to allow me to poison on his paddock adjoining, but he refused. All the squatters about here harbor them, saying they do no harm; but it is the small man who suffers all the time. The squatter may not miss, a thousand or two lambs, but it is different with the small man with his little flock of 300 or 400 sheep. The foxes will be as great a curse as the rabbits in time if steps are not taken to stop the increase. I remember some years ago a man giving a pig for twenty rabbits to turn out on his paddock, and he would prosecute anyone caught, killing one. To-day that man would give more than twenty pigs to get rid of the rabbits. So it will be with the foxes. Later on they will go in packs and kill all before them.
The Farmer and Settler (Sydney, NSW : 1906 - 1955) Fri 6 Sep 1907 Page 10 THE FOX PEST.
THE FOX PEST.
Mr, J. E. Jones, of Howell Farm, near Balranald, writes to say that since his last letter on the subject of foxes he has taken out of his sheep paddock 105, and yet they seem as thick as ever. This lot was taken out of 600 acres of box country. I also note in the 'Farmer and Settler,' says Mr. Jones, that foxes are taking the tongues out of sheep and that they had even tackled calves. They will do the same here soon, as they are very numerous; and I think the government or the p.p.board should make it compulsory upon every one to kill his share. Yet we hear some people still declaring' that the foxes do no harm, and only kill rabbits!
Western Mail (Perth, WA : 1885 - 1954) Sat 14 Sep 1907 Page 5 SEARING LAMBS' TAILS.
SEARING LAMBS' TAILS.
Mr. J. E. Howell, of Howell Farm, near Balranald, N.S.W., kindly writes:
-My cousin, Mrs. Margretta Dore, of Cottesloe, sent me a copy of the "Western Mail," and I see that "New Chum" is asking for information re searing lambs' tails. I will give "New Chum" my experience, which gave very little trouble, and no loss of lambs. I just cut the tail off as usual, but had two pieces of bent hoop-iron in a fire, and, as I cut the tails, off, I just put the hot iron on the .vein under the tail, alt does not take a second to do, and it will suit any man with a small mob of lambs. Of 300 lambs done this way there was not one lost, and in the yard that held them there was not a cup of blood ; besides, the lambs showed no effect after they were done, being just as lively as when put into the yard. Also, if any of your subscribers desire any information on different sorts of wheat, I will be glad to give it to them, as I am a grower of different sorts, which I sent over to Mr. H. I. Ranford this season, and he has them on view at his office. Later on I will tend you a method of stopping a mare from slipping her foals, as I have bred a good many horses, and this treatment may be handy to some of your subscribers.

JONES.- In loving memory of my dear husband and our father, J. E. Jones, who died 3rd February, 1913, at Swan Hill.
He bore his pain, he bore it well,
And how he suffered none can tell.
Peacefully sleeping, resting at last.
Life's heavy troubles and suffering past,
With tearful eyes we watched you, father,
Going on your lonely way;
Although we loved you dearly
We could not make you stay.

Also my dear daughter Harriet, who died 26th January, 1903.
One of the best, a loving daughter,
A daughter kind and true;
So dearly loved so sadly missed,
By everyone she knew.
She is always in our thoughts,
It is sweet to speak her name;
In life we loved her dearly,
In death we do the same:
Also my granddaughter Helen Sheath Attrill, who died 1909.
Dear is the grave where my granddaughter is laid,
Sweet is your memory that shall never fade;
Flowers on your grave may wither and die.
But my memory and love for you shall never die.
