Details: 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. Fitsimmonss 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. Youngs inn, the Queens Arms, West Maitland, to enter Mr Youngs 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 oclock, 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 oclock. That evening being Christmas Eve, Mr. Young was up till about one oclock, 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. Youngs yard, on his beat, all night ; and chief constable Wood, with some policemen, were about the streets till near two oclock. None of these parties heard a noise of any kind from Mr. Youngs 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.
