“Mr Commissioner Bingham has been employed since his arrival here, between this place and the Oven's River, settling disputes relative to stations, between various stockholders, and making himself acquainted with the localities of his district.”

“For four successive days we tracked them across swamps and gulleys, and over mountains and rocks for upwards of fifty miles.”

“If they mean the Tumut corps, under the command of Mr. Bingham, the question is easily answered; because they are of no more use than a fiddle without strings.”

“No one, however, can find much fault with Mr. Bingham in his civil capacity; he is most unremitting in his attention to his duties as Commissioner of Crown lands; nevertheless, he wants a little more decision in his character; he is too fond of trying to please all parties, (a thing he never can accomplish), and though that is a fault which "leans to virtue's side," I hope if this meets his eye he will take the hint, and try to amend it.”

“Bingham, Commissioner of Crown Lands on the Tumut River, has addressed a letter to the government stating the great services rendered by the aborigines on that river and the Murrumbidgee lately when those rivers were in flood, by which the lives of many individuals were saved.”

“Mr. Bingham urges the propriety of making the aborigines some reward as an acknowledgment for their services and exertions.”
