Tidy Up[edit]

Dude, you wrote: "Sometime around 1830, Governor Darling appointed James Mudie a justice of the peace and served on the bench at Maitland."

The sentence construction implies that it was Governor Sir Ralph Darling who actually got his bum on the bench rather than Mudie. It's a bit like the famed classified ad: "Bath wanted for baby with brass bottom", see, it's all in the order in which you place the words.

I fixt it.

Thanks for fixing my error. Regards, -- Anonymous Dissident ^Talk -- (dated 08:19, 20 June 2007 UTC)
