COLONY OF NEW SOUTH WALES, vellum Indenture being a Judgement between George Richard Uhi, sheriff of the Colony of New South Wales and David Cohen and Lewis Wolfe Levy of Sydney, merchants against Joseph Picton of Carrol for £760-0-06, large page, ruled at sides and written on both sides, dated 17 June 1863.

George Richard Uhi was High Sheriff of NSW 1861-64.

Lewis Wolfe Levy (1815-1885) migrated to Sydney from London in 1840 and then started a business in Maitland. He soon joined his cousins in the firm of David Cohen & Co, a mercantile firm in Maitland. He moved to Sydney in 1862 but retained an active interest in the firm's affairs. Over the ensuing years he held directorships in many prominent firms and also acquired and partnered in several pastoral runs. He was elected to government in 1871 to represent Liverpool Plains and in 1874 he represented Maitland. He held prominent positions in many charitable, educational and religious institutions as well as government institutions. He died in 1885 and is buried in the Hebrew section of Rookwood Cemetery.
