No; 1767. Aged; 37 years old. Laborer's wife. Cause of death; Unlawfully slain by one David Cleary 1859 - The Hobart Town Advertiser (Tas. : 1839 - 1861) Thu 6 Oct 1859. Page 3 DREADFUL MURDER. YESTERDAY afternoon a dreadful murder was committed in a house in Upper Macquarie- street near Denison-street. It appears that a man named David Cleary went into the adjoining house and said that "Liz," his wife, was dying, and begged a woman to go for a doctor. She went and brought Dr. Bedford, and on his arrival he found the woman dead. On examining her he found a dread-ful wound on the back back part of the head, which had doubtless caused her death. Her husband's clothes were covered with blood as well as his hands. There seems at present to be no motive for the commission of the deed,—both of them had been drinking together. Cleary was taken into custody to await a coronor's inquest, which will be held, we believe, to-day. INQCEST.—The inquest which was held upon the body of Elizabeth "Boatright, who was supposed to have been murdered by a man named David Cleary, terminated in a verdict of manslaughter.
