One excitable chap accused another of cheating and threw a brass ashtray at the accused. It had sharp edges and hit the man in the head and killed him. If they had called the police it might have been a manslaughter charge. Instead in panic the other 3 committed the crime of interfering with a corpse and disposed of the body. An innocent man was found guilty and hung at Darlinghurst in Sydney . A little time after another gentleman facing the death penalty confessed to killing Mr. Cox as he was the one who threw the ashtray. He was also hung. No Pompey was involved. Patrick Mayne did not generate much money but his widow (a very clever businesswoman) turned a minor amount of money into substantial wealth. There is no record in the cemetery records of any exhumation concerning "lily" that fits the description and the car rolling story is actually Boundary Rd between Portions 18 and 8. The road does actually physically have a dip in it but visually it appears to be uphill. Nothing ghostly at all.
