Our Readers we have no doubt well remember this case and the luminous decision of the Supreme Court delivered by the Chief Justice with respect to the liabilty of the natives to British laws for the result of quarrels among themselves. Those who had the good fortune to hear it will not easily forget that masterly appeal to the reason illustrated by the principles of international law which Mr. Forbes delivered on that occasion

Date: 28 October 1833
Place: Port Stephens
Source: SH
Details: Died - At Port Stephens - on the 15th instant the well known Aboriginal Bob Barrett. In intelligence and docility, he was inferior to none of his sable contemporaries and was the only native in the above district who had any correct ideas of time or distance. His migrations extended from Port Macquarie to Sydney, at which latter place many will remember having seen a tall upright Black, dressed in an old uniform. Unlike the majority of the Natives, Barrett was an instance of improvement by intercourse with Europeans and had the honor of having been employed occasionally on His Majestys service. He died of confluent small pox. He had been removed into a house appropriated to the reception of sick Natives, and was supplied through the humanity of Sir Edward Parry with every requisite. Here he was doing well, till the Karadquo induced him to quit the house, on the second day after which he expired

From these circumstances the Coroner deemed it essential to get hold of Bob Barrett which every means for that purpose was adopted and he was found secreted on board a colonial vessel and brought under a proper escort before the Coroner who interrogated him so closely that he acknowledged that he was present at the transaction and that although he did not give the first blow he did the second with his walking stick. He was therefore given in charge and put in safe custody.
