Gave evidence, 'David Punchard, being duly sworn, states : I am a bush carpenter, in partnership with Francis Henry Farrington. On the 24th of December last I was at Mr. Balbi's ; I went there just after breakfast ; I do not remember to have heard anything while I was there about any blackfellows having been shot near the head station ; but I was drinking heavily. As I returned from Balbi's on Thursday, two blackfellows told me they had been shooting some blackfellows in the scrub ; Mr. Farrington told me next, and that was the same day that I came home, to the best of my recollection ; I think it was the following day I went by myself to the scrub, and I saw a human body very much burnt ; it was the same body that I showed to the Coroner to-day ; it was not burning when I first saw it, but was just as it appeared to-day. On the Sunday following, that is on last Sunday, I went again to the scrub in company with a man on the station, called Blackmore ; I then found another ; it was partly covered with some red article of clothing ; it was the body of an aboriginal ; I took it to be the body of an old man, but I did not stop to take particular notice of it, it smelled so badly.'
