  • 18 Mar 1938: GOLF LINKS DISPUTE - Vendor's Action
    By an order of Mr. Justice Macfarlan in the Practice Court yesterday the Colonial Mutual Life Assurance Co. Ltd. regained possession of the Lakes Golf Links, Upper Beaconsfield, which it had sold to F. N. Adcock in May last year.
    Dr. A. D. Ellis, who appeared for the company as plaintiff in a summons for final judgment for possession and arrears of Interest, said that Adcock agreed to pay £5,000 for the property, which consisted of a small clubhouse and a nine holes course. Adcock took possession of the links in May last year on payment of a deposit of £1,075, but when the second instalment became due it was not paid. He paid £20 or £30 toward his first payment of interest.
    The real difficulty, added Dr. Ellis, was that Adcock was in possession. All the greens were in poor condition and the fairways covered with weeds. It would take hundreds of pounds to get it back into the condition in which it was when Adcock took possession. Every week it would grow worse.
    When the company was pressing for payment of arrears of interest Adcock alleged that it had made the sale by misrepresentation and commenced an action against it.
    Mr. J. F. Mulvany (for Adcock) said that Adcock claimed that he was induced to enter into the contract by false representations made by an officer of the company and had commenced an action under common law, claiming damages for deceit before the company took action to terminate the contract and deprive him of possession. Adcock's inability to pay was a result of the company's fraud. He urged the Court to stay the present proceedings until the action previously commenced by Adcock should be dealt with early next month.
    The stay was refused and the company's application was granted.
    Dr. Ellis was instructed by Messrs. Green, Dobson, and Middleton, and Mr. Mulvany by Mr. R. G. Dunlop. Colonial Mutual Life Assurance8

Australian Dictionary of Biography

Frederick Adcock's father:
ADCOCK, WILLIAM EDDRUP (1846-1931), journalist and businessman, was born on 31 December 1846 in London, son of George Charles Adcock, cigar manufacturer, and his wife Mary, née Goodwin. George Adcock migrated to Melbourne in 1848 with his wife and infant son and became a bookseller in Bridge Road, Richmond.
William Adcock as a young man had some theatrical experience and dabbled in real estate. He was store-keeping at Gaffney's Creek when on 30 December 1865 with Congregational rites he married Emma Sharples. In 1871 Clarson, Massina & Co. appointed him editor of the Richmond Free Press, but the venture was short-lived. With his wife and three children Adcock sailed in 1872 to Palmerston (Darwin), where next year he opened a general store. He speculated in mining, wrote an article on the Northern Territory for the Australian Journal (1873), survived the shipwreck of the vessel in which he was returning to Melbourne for supplies, and was unsuccessful in the first election of councillors for the district of Palmerston in 1874. In 1878 his wife's health failed; Adcock sold out next year for £12,000 and rejoined her in Melbourne.
His successors failed, however, and Adcock took the business over again, in partnership with his brother Herbert Henry, and V. V. Brown. New premises were built at Palmerston and another branch was opened at Derby to serve the goldfields in the Kimberley district of Western Australia. Adcock Bros obtained steamship agencies and built the Victoria Hotel in Palmerston. Adcock himself returned to Melbourne and handled the firm's finances.
In 1885 he went again to the Northern Territory because of financial difficulties which, he claimed, resulted from expansion undertaken by his partners without his knowledge. The Town and Country Bank (South Australia) had failed, and its liquidators claimed repayment of overdrafts and loans of £23,000. Adcock formed a new limited liability company, but his offer of settlement was refused, and in February 1888 he was declared insolvent. Adcock appealed, thereby initiating proceedings which became unique in Australia's legal history. The adjudication was reversed by the Supreme Court of South Australia, but was reinstated twice before the Full Court confirmed the insolvency in December.
Adcock was advised by his Adelaide solicitors to remain out of the colony to avoid arrest, but guided by his Melbourne lawyer he went to Adelaide and was promptly arrested on 20 December. Except for short periods on bail, he spent the next four years in gaol or in court where, with his counsel (Sir) J. H. Symon, he waged a battle with the Insolvency Court, which could hold an insolvent until bail was paid or the case adjudicated. His claim that he could not legally demand the company's books from the Melbourne trustee prevented investigation into the assets of the former Adcock Bros' company, but his defiance of the court delayed his release. He strenuously resisted attempts to prefer the claims of the bank to those of individual creditors, and he bombarded the court, the governor and the Executive Council with affidavits, memorials and appeals for habeas corpus. The case became the subject of leading articles in the Melbourne and Adelaide press; Adcock himself published a booklet, Four Years Imprisoned and Refused a Trial (Melbourne, 1892). In November 1893 he was finally given his discharge, but with his assets liable to seizure if he ever ventured again within the South Australian jurisdiction. Mr Justice Boucaut was highly critical of his behaviour in court and of his refusal to make full disclosure. The Register called him either a 'terribly misunderstood man or a remarkably acute and daring one'.
After his release Adcock engaged in journalism and other business activities in Victoria. In 1900 he went to Coolgardie, Western Australia, to manage mining interests; he also retained a share in the Derby business. Later he helped to establish the mica industry in Victoria.
In 1894-95 Adcock's articles on the gold rush era of Victoria were published anonymously in the Australian Journal; a revised version appeared under his name in Melbourne in 1912 as The Gold Rushes of the Fifties. About 1910 he succeeded W. E. G. Symons as editor of the Australian Journal; he later assisted S. L. Massina until 1926 when he retired.
Adcock died on 18 May 1931 at his home in Kew. He was survived by his second wife Annie Mary Bowcott, née Wheeler, whom he had married in Sydney on 25 April 1898, by five children of his first marriage and by two of his second. He was buried in Burwood cemetery, leaving an estate valued for probate at £1463.9
