Note 3: Australian Town and Country Journal (Sydney) 22 Sept 1877 The death of John Mathie, a Queensland colonist, is announced, under most distressing circumstances. He was about sixty years of age, and arrived in Eng- land in June last. Subsequently he took up his residence at a coffee-house in the Commercial-road, near the Docks, where he drank a great deal, and appeared strange and vacant in his manner. He never said anything to those about him as to his antecedents, except that he had been a fruiterer at Brisbane, and that he had come over in the Durham from Queens- land. He kept on drinking, and drifted from bad to worse, until at length the poor fellow was found dead, hanging by the neck, in his bedroom. At a coroner's inquest, Mr. Thomas Hamilton, of 32, Charing Cross, the indefatigable secretary to the Queensland Agency, deposed that the deceased remitted to the Agent-General a bill for £80, some time since. On ar- riving in England he called at the agency, and drew £10 on account. He appeared then to be so peculiar in his manner that a man was sent with him to see him safely to the conveyance he had. He told wit- ness that he had three daughters in Australia, and one at Dollar, in Clackmannanshire, Scotland, and that he intended to go to Dollar. The jury returned a verdict " That deceased died by his own hand, but what his state of mind was at the time, the evidence failed to show." A question then arose as to the dis- posal of the property of deceased, and it was decided that the officer should take charge of everything until the legal representatives of the deceased claimed them.
