Details: Native lad about 17. Murdered by natives at the back of Mr. Youngs Queens Arms Inn. Body remained in the yard at the Inn for two days before being buried...........MURDER OF A NATIVE BLACK BY ABORIGINALS.-On Thursday (Christmas Day) an in-quest was held before Mr. Parker, at the Rose Inn, West Maitland, on the body of Jackey, a native black lad, about seventeen years old. It appeared from the evidence that Jackey had been for years in the service of Mr. Fitsimmons, of Gora, Castlereagh River, and that he had just come down the country with Mr. Fitsimmons s drays. On Wednesday Jackey received from Mr. Fitsimmons a shilling to buy some food, and sixpence from another person to buy drink ; late that evening Jackey was seen by this latter person, Patrick Rourke, then stopping at Mr. Young s inn, the Queens Arms, West Maitland, to enter Mr Young s yard in company with four other aboriginals (of the Maitland or Sugarloaf tribes) ; they appeared all more or less in liquor, and Rourke saw them subsequently drinking something out of a quart bottle they brought there with them; at a later hour, between ten and eleven o clock, Mr. Young being in his yard saw Murphy, a Maitland black, leaving the yard ; Mr. Young was aware there had been a number of blacks about his yard that afternoon and evening, but as the blacks make a practice of camping at the back of the yard he took no particular notice of them; Mr. Young was under the impression that all the blacks had left his yard about eight o clock. That evening being Christmas Eve, Mr. Young was up till about one o clock, his back windows being open to let in the breeze ;Stephen Balcombe, the night watchman, was about the street, and in and out of Mr. Young s yard, on his beat, all night ; and chief constable Wood, with some policemen, were about the streets till near two o clock. None of these parties heard a noise of any kind from Mr. Young s yard during the night, yet next morning early Jackey was found lying dead near the lower fence, having been killed by two heavy blows on the head from a waddy ; a bondi, or club, was seen near him, with marks of blood on it. As soon as the alarm was given, the police were informed, and the six following aboriginals were apprehended: Murphy, Tommy Potts, Martin, and King John, of the Maitland tribe; Jemmy and Richard Wiseman, of the Sugarloaf tribe. Some blood was seen on the clothes or skin of some of them, but nothing further was elicited to bring home the deed to either. The jury returned a verdict of wilful murder against some aboriginals unknown. We were sorry to learn, last evening, that Jackeys body was still lying unburied at the back of Mr. Youngs yard.

Details: Correspondence from Captain (?Thomas) Cook, Magistrate to the Attorney General....Sir I do myslf the honor of transmitting to you, enclosed the depositions taken before me in the case of an aboriginal black named Jackey charged with wounding Robert Weddis per James Pattison, a prisoner of the Crown in 1831. The aforesaid black, I have reason to believe, was concerned in the murder of Mackenzies men at the Gloucester, but nothing further than his own admission can be adduced in proof of the share he had in that horrid massacre. I have committed him to Newcastle gaol there to await your orders.. Writin to the same functionary on the 8th August, the Captain states that the prisoner Jackey was forwarded this morning from here to the steam boat office at Green Hills for the purpose of being conveyed direct to Sydney. The delay in not forwarding him sooner arose from the want of constabulary here.
