Citizen's Buildings, Queen Street, Melbourne
SERIOUS FIRE IN MELBOURNE
A LARGE BLOCK ENDANGERED
Melbourne - Wednesday
A fire of considerable dimensions broke out tonight in a five storied block, known as the Citizen's Buildings, Queen Street, in a portion occupied by Messrs. A Macrow and Sons, manufacturing jewellers. The block of buildings is divided into three portions, almost entirely separate from one another, and though the flames spread into the top floors of the central block (occupied by Messrs. Fitchett Brothers), the damage done by fire was practically contained to the southern block, in which the two top floors and roof were burned out. The whole of the block in which the fire had raged is occupied by Messrs. Macrow and Sons. Mr. Macrow stated tonight that his jewellery manufactory was on the third floor, which with the fourth floor was burned out, and that on the top floor a great deal of his stock was stored. He could not, however, estimate his damage. He is protected by an insurance policy for £1500 in the Imperial office.

ROBERT BROAD
George Street, Sydney
A very handsome silver snuff-box has been manufactured by Mr. Broad, the Silversmith for the Lodges of 820, 260, and 266, for the purpose of presentation this day to Colonel Despard, of the 17th Regiment, for his highly gentlemanly conduct in always permitting the attendance of the fine band of his regiment when required, for Masonic Procession, Dinners, etc. A deputation, consisting of some of the Members of each Lodge, will wait on the Colonel and present the box.
Source: The Sydney Morning Herald - 17th December 1835
The snuff box in question was unlikely to have been made by Robert Broad, who was probably the retailer only of the piece, he is thought to have ordered the box from the workshops of David Barclay at Hobart, the actual maker being the convict silversmith, Joseph Forrester, the box, a well-known piece, being typical of his work.
Robert Broad is thought to have arrived in Sydney in 1831. He ran into financial problems in the 1840's and his estate was liquidated in 1844 and his effects put up for public auction.
