H. Mullens, incumbent of Trinity Church, Dubbo; Rev. Mr. Vaughan, Church of England, Wellington ; Rev. O. B. Greig, Presbyterian; and Rev. C. W. Phillips, Wesleyan. After the usual ceremony, Sir Alfred Stephen delivered a short but forcible address, and the scroll was read which was to be placed in the bottle. It set out the names of the committee, trustees, and all the other information usually contained in such documents. This, with copies of the local papers, coins of the realm, &c, were placed in a bottle, and deposited in a cavity prepared for the purpose. The stone having been adjusted, Sir Alfred spread the mortar, and gently tapping the stone with the mallet, declared it to be well and truly laid."
