Inquest into the death of Trooper Henry Rucker. Witness Charles Edward Harrison, sub-inspector of police stationed at Newcastle. Knew the Trooper who was in the Newcastle Police and a native of Sydney. He sent him on duty to Lake Macquarie for the purpose of making an enquiry. Deceased was dressed when he left in plain clothes and was riding one of the police horses which was believed to be very quiet. Deceased as a very steady sober young man. Witness Walter Scott, brickmaker labouring at West Hartley at Lake Macquarie. Deceased asked him the way to Mr. Warner s place and pointed out the way cautioning him to keep a particular track. When next he saw him deceased was attempting to cross the creek when the horse got into deep water and began to plunge. Walter Scott attempted to rescue him however could not find him. The name of the creek was Shepherds Creek and was about 25 yards wide. At that place there was a bar formed as the creek ran into the Lake. James Lindsay, manager of the West Hartley Colliery sent his son to inform the Newcastle inspector and employed drags to search for the body which was found 30 yards off the bar on the Newcastle side. Thomas Thompson, sergeant of police stationed at Newcastle testified that the horse was considered a quiet one. Verdict, Found Drowned

For some years past he had been suffering from chronic disease, and had deemed it advisable to take a trip to his native country, thereby, if possible, to recruit his failing health. He accordingly left the colony in the early part of last year for Britain, but unfortunately his con- stitution was too much shattered to sustain any benefit from the change, and after lingering for a few months he expired in London on the 10th October.
