He and another named John Clarke, alias Leaver, a crippled invalid, were jesting, blacking faces and committing other follies until the romp became serious, and Leaver having the knife, with which he cut his tobacco in his hand, wounded Bishop as it appeared by accident in the head so that the point of the knife was broken off and caused an inflammation of the brain, of which he died. The Coroner and Jury, after a patient investigation of seven hours returned a verdict of Manslaughter, and Leaver, is committed accordingly. 21/4/1827 Hobart Town Gazette: John Clark - Shipley (2) - COF
