11/12/1820: Prisoner's Evidence and inquest of James Wilson. 11/3/1821: Late Government servant of Charles Ellis. Inquest on the body of, held Sydney. Syd. Gaz. 17/3/1821: A Coroner's Inquest was convened on Monday last, at the Black Horse Inn, in Maquarie Street, SLyd., on the body of Walter Barlow, which was found in a lifeless state on Saturday night, suspended by a rope in and out-house. The deceased was ony 19 years old, by trade a file-cutter and would have been free from transportation in July next. No other possible account could be given of the reason that induced the poor hyouth to the perpetration of so rash an act than that of sudden mental derangement to which effect a verdict was returned.
