In 1860, their brother, Mr James Young Deans, of Kirkstyle, sent eeeds of haws for hedge plants, .and Scotch fir seeds." They oil braided well, but unfortunately nearly all tho firs were afterwards lost in trans planting. Fourteen bales of wool were wkl at Is 6d per lb in London. Therr eatble had increased fo 166 heed, and John Dean» again started for a third shipment from Nowcasitie, from which port he sailed ou the 96th June in the ship Woodbridge, 516 tons, Captain Coppill, and arrived at what is now called Lytt-ton on 26th July, with eight bulls, 162 heifers, twelve mares, 600 young ewes, and eleven first-class rams. ifThese cattle were the pkk of thousands of tha Australian Agricultural Company's 3—rd, or— the ium—store of the well-known Homebush herd.

'The ship was detained there for six dayt The wind them changed, and they ram to Lyttelton in forty-eight hours. The weather was so severe that, but for the attention of the captain and size and goodness of the ship, most of the stock would in all probability have been lost. Be sides the stock, Mr Deans brought oak and a*h trees, white thorn hedge plants, fruit trees, and various seeds. Broom and goree, poplars, and widows had been suc cessfully tried.
