Reginald JULIUS [787]

   Cause of his death was haematemesis (Vomiting blood) and epileptic convulsions.

  General Notes:

Reginald was baptised by George Quilter

As a young man he went to seek his fortune in New Zealand, his first arrival date in NZ is uncertain.

Early North Otago Runs.
By Robert Pinney.
Rugged Ridges (Run 243) was first granted to "Julius & Robison" for 14 years from 5 September 1858. Harrie Carr Robison the next year transferred his interest to his partner Julius. In the Rugged Ridges stock returns Reginald was named from 1859, and Edric from 1863 as a partner. Herbert does not appear in the record's of Rugged Ridges. The Rugged Ridges flock increased from 2000 in 1859 to 13,000 in 1866. By that time the slump was setting in, and the values of stock were declining. In 1866 the station was very lucky to benefit from a sale of 1200 fat wethers at 16s 6d for the goldfield population of Whakatipu.
There was a strike at the Rugged Ridges shearing of 1869-70, and a shearer named Redpath brought a suit against E.A. and R. Julius for unpaid wages. The shearers were engaged at 15s a hundred, but said at the start that they wanted 17s 6d. At midday 22 January 1869 they refused to go on shearing. The Rugged Ridges sheep were the worst to shear "on the river" and a pair of shears would last only two days. A notice was posted on the shed door, signed by E.A. and R. Julius saying that all shearers who did not start at 1 p.m. would be dismissed and forfeit their wages. Many squatter and merchant witnesses gave evidence that it was customary not to pay shearers who did not finish the flock. However Redpath won the case for the amount claimed, and costs; a rehearing was refused. By early 1870 the Rugged Ridges stud Merinos were offered for sale; by 1871 bus station was listed in the name of a stock firm (Dalgety). By August 1871 E.A. and R Julius had filed their insolvency. At this low ebb Reginald Julius died on 2 September 1871. D.C. Gordon was managing Rugged Ridges, though possibly for the stock firm. By January 1872 the station was reported to be sold to Charles Nichols a partner of F. G. Dalgety. The area was 60,000 acres running 26,438 sheep. By the next year the station was in the hands of the Sutton brothers.

. . . . . The first race meeting held at the racecourse reserve seems to have been that of 19 and 20 March 1861, when large numbers gathered, mainly from the runs on both sides of the Waitaki. The principal event was the Oamaru Cup, of the value of 50 sovereigns, with a sweepstake of three sovereigns. The winner, Venison, was owned by R. Julius and ridden by Mark Noble.

Rugged Ridges: (Run No. 243)
Just beyond Kurow, in what was called the gorge, "Little" John Maclean had Run 23. Rugged Ridges belonged to the Messrs Julius Brothers (Reginald, Edric Adolphus, and Herbert Amelius), distinguished as Walking, Talking, and Barking Julius. Mr Reginald Julius was a splendid man among horses, and could generally make them do whatever he wished. He broke in a pair of trotters to run in double harness , and got a handsome carriage up from Dunedin. But alas he was too enterprising for the circumstances. There were no roads, so when he got up the Papakaio track as far as the turn off to the Waitaki Ferry, the track proved to rough for the daintily built carriage, and it broke down and remained there for some weeks. The point close to Mr Thomas Hartley's was consequently known as "Carriage Point."

Resident Magistrates Court
Thursday August 18th
Before T W Parker, Esq., R.M.; and W. G.Filleul, Esq., J. P.
H. Waymouth v G Taylor.
Present the plaintiff; and Mr R Julius for defendant.
This was a summary action, brought under 11 and 12 Victoria, in which the summons stated that the defendant, on the 16th inst., at Oamaru, did unlawfully detain from the plaintiff one bank note of the value of L5. The following witnesses were examined.
Henry Waymouth, swore - on the evening of Tuesday the 16th inst, at Baker's Hotel, myself, the defendant, and several others were present. One of the said parties, Julius, proposed to lay down on the floor of the room a piece of paper, against which, or at which, I was to stand, and that the other party (Julius) should come up and stand with his hands behind his back, and that I could not strike him in the face. I said that it was absurd to suppose that I could not do it, if there were no trick or "sell" in the matter. The party (Julius) then offered to bet L5, or any sum, that it could not be done, and turned to me, offering to bet me that amount - namely L5. I stipulated that there should be no "sell", which was agreed to on behalf of Julius, and it was finally proposed that the trial should come off there and then. I took the sum of L5 in a bank note, from my pocket, and the note, I believe, was taken out of my hand by Julius. I have made a formal application for the money but it has been refused. I made the application because I suspect it that there was a particular way of standing on the paper which rendered the proposed act of striking an impossible one. . . . . . Plaintiff said that he would put it to the company present in the room as to whether he had lost or not, and they declared that he had lost, . . . . .
Reginald Julius, swore - I was at Baker's Hotel on the evening of the 16th inst. The plaintiff and defendant were there. The plaintiff was very much intoxicated. I was sober. I refuse to answer that the paper trial was a "sell". I appear on the behalf of the defendant who informed me that he had business that would prevent his attendance.
George Taylor, swore - I was at Baker's Hotel . . . . . I heard a proposition made by Mr Julius . . . . . that he would lay a piece of paper on the floor, and that another party should put his foot upon the paper, and that such second party should not be able to strike him (Julius) in the face. Julius bet L5 that no one could do it, plaintiff agreed to bet that sum that he could do it. The L5 was laid on the table by the plaintiff, and I lent L5 to Mr Julius. Mr Julius then went up to the paper, but the plaintiff rose from his chair and sat down again, and he said that he wouldn't have it. . . . . . Mr Julius claimed the stakes, to which plaintiff gave in, . . . . . I think that the two parties, plaintiff and Julius, where in a muddled state.
Francis Orlando Shipton swore . . . . . Mr Julius bet that plaintiff could not hit him in 23 seconds. They were to stand toe to toe in the room about 8 inches apart, with a piece of paper between them. Both parties went up to the paper, but the trial was not made, as the plaintiff said there was some "sell" or another. . . . . .
The Court ordered the money to be returned to the plaintiff, which was accordingly done, and awarded him 2s.6d. costs. . . . . .

Precis from page 98/99/100:
About the middle of June 1865, two men Davis and Evereste were released from Dunedin jail and went on a criminal rampage through Otago. After a succession of armed robberies the two men came upon employees of the Julius Brothers droving sheep at Doctor's Creek near Otekaieke, who recognized one of the robbers was riding a horse belonging to Julius. Warned the Julius brothers defended themselves in the house of Reginald Julius rather than the main station where the robbers were able to change the amounts unmolested. Police who had been alerted arrived at Rugged Ridges, and with Reginald Julius rode out in pursuit of the robbers, where they were captured at Otematata.

ATTEMPTED STICKING-UP AT RUGGED RIDGES STATION.
On the 7th ultimo a very extraordinary affair occurred at the Messrs Julius' station, Rugged Ridges, from which there can be little doubt that the parties implicated intended to have stuck-up the station, but were either unable to carry out their purpose, or finding that the household were roused and prepared to meet fire-arms with fire-arms, thought it the better part of valor to make off.
The circumstances of the case were these:
About 10 p.m. on the night referred to Mr Reginald Julius was seated in the kitchen of his own house, when the servant called his attention to the circumstance that two mounted men were riding about the premises. Not imagining mischief, Mr Julius went round the house but could see no one; thinking this circumstance suspicious he returned, and taking up an old revolver which had been loaded for months, went out into the garden, the servant locking the door behind him. While going down the path two pistol-shots were fired at him from behind some willow trees growing a few yards to his right, but fortunately without taking effect. Convinced now that there was real ground for alarm, he bethought himself that in all probability the revolver he held would be useless in a hand to hand encounter, in consequence of the likelihood that it would miss fire, having been kept loaded for to long. He therefore deemed it prudent to return for another. Reaching the house door he found it locked, and knocked for admittance for some time in vain. At length being admitted, he loaded three chambers of a clean revolver (one of them, as he afterwards found, with a bullet only), and again went out. Just beyond the fence he saw one man mounted and another with his foot in the stirrup, and immediately afterwards both rode away. He fired the contents of one barrel after the retreating men, but would scarcelv be likely to have touched either, as they were almost, if not quite out of range. He then returned to the house, and after ordering the doora to be locked, hastened to the men's houses, situated some distance from his own house, and gave the alarm. Several of them sallied forth, and on reaching one of the paddocks it was plainly to be seen by the action of a mare which was tethered there, and was galloping round and round and neighing loudly, that other horses were either then, or had recently been in the immediate vicinity, but nothing further was seen of the bushrangers. Suspicion has fallen upon two men, who have been described to the police, but we have not yet heard whether there is any probability of the perpetrators of the outrage being identified and captured. The footmarks of one of the men were plainly seen in the garden on the following morning, and the place where the horses had been tied up was also discovered.

However the Rugged Ridges run was the Julius family's biggest investment, see map of Waitaki Valley:
RUGGED RIDGES
Only outlying buildings and a stone yard now remain from the original Rugged Ridges homestead; it was abandoned when Lake Aviemore came in through the door of a later house. The country ran from the Waitaki to the mountains on its Otago side. The boundaries were with the earlier stations, Otematata upstream and Kurow downstream. Rugged Ridges (Run 243) was first granted to Julius & Robison for fourteen years from 5 September 1858. The Robison was almost certainly Harrie Carr Robison, but, in the next year he transferred his interest to his partner and went further upstream to Omarama. The Julius was almost certainly Reginald, born in 1835, and the youngest of the three brothers in New Zealand in the 1860s. The family has been traced back to Yarmouth on the Norfolk coast and, in the 1700s, it prospered at St Kitts, one of the Leeward Islands in the West Indies. The grandfather (1775-1866) was often there in times of recurring troubles, from which can be deduced the reasons for the varied birthplaces of his eleven children. The eldest survivor, Dr George Charles Julius (1804-85), was the father of the Rugged Ridges brothers. They were brought up in Ireland by their unhappily married parents, the mother being the beautiful Jean Spaight.
The six-foot-two father was fond of many things: art, music, painting, reading, the classics, natural history, and fishing. The two elder boys, Herbert Amelius and Edric Adolphus, born in 1830 and 1833, practised as solicitors in England before they went to New Zealand. I know nothing of their emigration, except that they were friends of the Robisons and relations of the Jeffreys, Filleul, and Valpy families.
In the Rugged Ridges stock returns Reginald was named from 1859, and from 1863 his brother Edric Adolphus was recorded as his partner. Nowhere have I seen Herbert Amelius connected with the records of Rugged Ridges. The silly semi-classical nicknames given to the brothers' quite likely developed because of the genuine tendency of the rather Irish and excitable Edric to utter an involuntary sound
Reginald lived at Rugged Ridges and married Catherine Robertson Cameron in 1864. Edric lived in Oamaru, practising as a solicitor at least from the same date. My impression of him as an advocate is that he could prove black to be blue. For instance, in defence of a runholder accused of crossing sheep over the Waitaki without in-spection, Edric pleaded that there was no proof that the sheep had not been sent round by sea. He was probably the writer of the long argumentative letters to the Otago Daily Times about the superiority of the Rugged Ridges fine Saxony Merinos over the Otekaieke and Galloway stronger-woolled Rambouillet-bred sheep.
He certainly asked for the rebuke from W. A. Low of Galloway, who wrote: 'I have always heard him talked of as a solicitor of great abilities and Machiavellian subtlety and acuteness, yet I would be very sorry to give 6s 8d for his opinion on sheep.'
The Rugged Ridges flock increased from 2,000 in 1859 to 13,000 in 1866. By that time the slump was setting in, and the values of stock were declining. In 1866 the station was very lucky to benefit from a sale of 1,200 fat wethers at 16s 6d for the goldfield population of Wakatipu. During the slump of the late 1860s Herbert Amelius, the eldest brother, appeared in Oamaru, and lived up to the family reputation for witty speaking. In 1867 he was induced to represent Oamaru in the Provincial Council, but the next year became insolvent and resigned with a shortness of notice that was severely criticised; by the end of May he died. There was a strike at the Rugged Ridges shearing of 1869-70, and a shearer named Redpath brought a suit against E. A. and R. Julius for unpaid wages. The shearers were engaged at 15s a hundred, but said at the start that they wanted 17s 6d. At midday 22 January 1869 they refused to go on shearing. The Rugged Ridges sheep were the worst to shear 'on the river', and a pair of shears would last only two days. A notice was posted on the shed door, signed by E. A. and R. Julius, saying that all shearers who did not start at 1 p m would be dismissed and forfeit their wages. Many squatter and merchant witnesses gave evidence that it was customary not to pay shearers who did not finish the flock. However Redpath won the case for the amount claimed, and costs; a re-hearing was refused.' By early 1870 the Rugged Ridges stud Merinos were offered for sale; by 1871 the station was listed in the name of a stock firm.
By August 1871 E. A. and R. Julius had filed their insolvency. At this low ebb Reginald Julius died, on 2 September 1871. D. C. Gordon was managing Rugged Ridges, though possibly for the stock firm.
By January 1872 the station was reported to be sold to Charles Nichols (partner of F. G. Dalgety and the father of Nichols of Kuriheka).
The area was 60,000 acres, running 26,438 sheep. By the next year the station was in the hands of the Sutton brothers.
Edric Adolphus, the only surviving Julius of Rugged Ridges, lived on in Oamaru and practised as a solicitor until he returned to England at the end of 1875. He was by then an invalid, but left after loudly-cheered speeches about his yarn-spinning, and his generous unselfish nature; he took with him Reginald's widow and family. I do not know whether Edric ever returned to New Zealand, but the name Julius grew in repute there from the time of Edric's death in 1890.
Two first cousins of the Rugged Ridges brothers came to New Zealand. Churchill Julius became Bishop of Christchurch and Archbishop of New Zealand. Alfred came to the parish of Akaroa after a long ministry of Queensland.

Reginald married Katherine Robertson CAMERON [788] [MRIN: 252], daughter of Robert CAMERON of Perth Scotland [8360] and Christina TODD [8359], on 12 Oct 1864 in Waitangi Station Otago New Zealand.
