  Notes	First arrived in Australia, July 1859 on the Glentanner. He went back to England in 1883 on the Liguria. With money he inherited from his uncle Harry Aldridge's estate, Henry went back to Welwyn, Hertfordshire At Welwyn, he bought back the Black Horse Inn, a pub his father had owned 30-odd years earlier. Thereafter Henry ran a carrying business from Hertford and conducted gold panning displays at the Indian and Colonial Exhibition at Crystal Palace in London in 1886. Returned to Australia on Chimborazo in 1886 (arrived Sydney 9 September). The Gympie Times and Mary River Mining Gazette Sat, 16 Apr 1870 Page 3 Aldridge wins claim-jumping case MINING The practice of mining without miners' rights, which is said to be rather common at present, has lately been dealt with in a fashion which shows that the authorities intend to put a stop to it. In a case - Aldridge v Chin Chin, of Nos. 6 and 7 south Smithfield - heard on Thursday, it appeared that the plaintiff had jumped two shares on the ground that the man representing T.Oswin had no miners' right; he had been put on by Chin Chin, who was aware of the illegality. The verdict was for plaintiff, with costs, Mr Stable appearing for him; Oswin was fined ?5, the alternative of non-payment being 14 days imprisonment. A witness named Cox admitted that he had been working without a miners' right, but pleaded as an excuse that he had only just come on to the field, and had not been engaged in any mining work; for this reason the penalty was not enforced, but he had had a narrow escape.
