AbstractHistoryArchive Description

The first issue of the The Clarence and Richmond Examiner was 'written, set up and printed in the office of ... the Sydney Morning Herald' by W. E. St. Vincent, then a member of staff of the Herald. St. Vincent carried the inaugural publication to Grafton where he established the new newspaper's office in a cottage on Bacon Street.

In 1861, St. Vincent moved the newspaper's offices to Prince Street and sold the paper to Richard Stevenson. Stevenson remained the owner until 1875 when J. [D.] Gray and a Mr McNaughton bought the Examiner. These men moved from weekly to bi-weekly publication (Tuesdays and Saturdays) and remained at the helm until 1881. In that year, George Varley bought Gray's share and, four years later, bought out McNaughton as well.

Varley remained the Examiner's proprietor until it ceased publication in 1915. He did, however, move to Sydney in 1905 where he re-established a Sydney office for the newspaper. Another change occurred in 1909 when, under the editorship of Samuel Hardwick, the Examiner changed to tri-weekly publication (Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday).

The Examiner's editor from 1910 to 1915 was William Burgess-Kiloh. Burgess-Kiloh went on to become editor of the Daily Examiner.
