October 1901  Application for re-grant from Robert Dobbs.  ‘Has I ham a Free Miner’!

March 1905  ‘Sir  Just received a Demand Note for Dead Rent which you charge on No. 2 Collingwood Colliery which I think a complete fraud, to grant a Colliery which has been worked out a number of years but as I had the grant of it I agreed to sell it at £850, but the Gentleman came to get some one to open it and the son of the man who had worked it and got all the coal in the Lowrey vein, they left it and talked of sueing me for damages . . .’ ‘. . . they told what they had good prove to show it was all worked out and there are several old Colliers have told me all the Starkey was worked out by the Nelson Colliery Co., that there is not enough coal left to boil a tea kettle.’

Dobbs had first applied in 1883 but did not take the grant out until 27 January 1902.
Gale worked prior to 1841.
Crown stated that it was up to the galee to ascertain whether the coal was workable.

21 December 1905  Forfeited.
