HORRIBLE DEATH IN THE BUSH

From the Evening News

On Tuesday, the 16th June, a magisterial inquiry was held before Thomas H. Neale. P.M., touching the death of a man whose body was found near the Liddleton Estate House, within three miles from Hartley, and from the statements of certain witnesses, as well as the sworn testimony of Henry Allworth Ledger, constable John Bentley, and a lad named Thomas Muldoon, it transpired that on last Saturday fortnight Ledger heard, at night, cries proceeding from near his residence, but why did he not go out and see who it was, and why the person was in distress, did not transpire, but on the 15th a dead body was found within 300 yards of the Liddleton House, and a more horrible spectacle was never beheld in the solitude of the Australian bush.

To all appearances the portion in life must have laid down exhausted by cold and exposure, and there unfriended and alone have “shuffled off this mortal coil.” The right cheek was eaten away ; the left, or a portion of it, was gnawed off the bones. The body had on in the shape of clothing a pair of light tweed trowsers with black stripes, a pair of elastic side boots, and new blue worsted socks, with no clothing from hip upwards. On the arms of deceased were the following marks in tatoo, from which marks it is conjectured the unfortunate man had belonged to the Royal Navy : On the right arm, between elbow and shoulder, a sailor with a flag in his right hand standing in front of a cannon, mounted, on a man-of-war carriage ; below the elbow, under front of arm, the figure of Britannia ; on the left arm, between elbow and shoulder, the representation of two female figures, and below the elbow a star, like the Compass star, with a heart and two arrows passing through crossways ; between the thumb and forefinger, same hand, five dots, and on each of the three first fingers a ring tatooed. The body indicated a man, when living, of about 20 to 30 years of age, and about 5 feet 6 inches in height, slender built, with a moustache and goatee beard, of lightish brown hair. If any person from this description can throw any light upon his identity, it is hoped for the sake of friends who are ignorant of the solitary death in our midst that they will communicate with senior constable Maloney, of Hartly, who I am sure, will be glad to have any clue to his name or friends,

About 8am on 2 July, 1881 the constable was on foot patrol in Clarence Street, Sydney when he endeavoured to stop a runaway horse and cart near Broughton-lane. As he did so he slipped and fell under the cart and its wheel passed over his head. He died on the way to the Sydney Infirmary a short time later. The runaway horse proceeded into Druitt-street, where he was stopped.

Hawkins joined the police force about two months since.  He was the son of Mr. Hawkins, postmaster at Dural.

 

The Manaro Mercury and Cooma and Bombala Advertiser of 9 July, 1881 reported on the death of the constable.

A POLICEMAN KILLED.

An inquest was held on Saturday, at the Coroner’s Court, with respect to the death of a policeman named James Hawkins, who was killed in endeavouring to stop a runaway horse in Clarence-street, Sydney.

Rebecca Cross deposed that deceased was her nephew and a native of Pennant Hills. He lodged with her at 401, Pitt-street. He was 21 years of age and a single man, and had entered the force on the 5th May last, and was sent on day duty that morning for the first time, having previously been employed on night duty.

John Downer deposed that he resided at 128, Harris-street, and he was a carter. He was in charge of a horse and cart on Saturday morning about 8 o’clock, and was going along Kent-street, when his horse shied and commenced kicking, and he fell off the cart, and was dragged a short distance by the reins. He got clear of them and the horse then bolted and ran down Clarence-street, and Hawkins, who was on duty there, ran up and endeavoured to stop it, but in doing so he fell and the wheel of the cart passed over his head. The accident was witnessed by Wm. Salway, of Market-street and Wm. Henry Thompson, of Goulburn-street, who gave evidence.

Hawkins was placed in a cart, and conveyed to the infirmary, but died before he arrived there.

Dr. Williamson deposed that the bones of the right side of the head and face of deceased were broken, and there was compound depressed fracture of the skull.

The jury returned a verdict of accidental death.”

http://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/115717546

 

The constable was born in 1860 and joined the New South Wales Police Force on 9 May, 1881. He was stationed at Central Police Station, Sydney. He is not listed in the official New South Wales Police Honour Roll.

The Sydney Morning Herald     Monday  4 July 1881     p 7

An inquest was held on Saturday morning by the City Coroner, at his chambers, with reference to the death of constable James Hawkins, who died that morning from injuries which he had received whilst in the discharge of his duty. Deceased was 21 years of age, and a native of Pennant Hills, New South Wales, and was unmarried.

He joined the police force on May 5th last, since when he had always been employed on night duty. On Saturday he was employed on day duty.

He resided at a boarding-house, No. 401, Pitt-street, kept by his aunt, Mrs. Rebecca Cross.

John Downer, a young man, residing at No. 128, Harris-street. deposed that he was a carter, in the employment of Mr. Read, of Crown Road, Ultimo.

Shortly after 8 o’clock on Saturday morning, witness was in charge of a horse and tip-cart, and proceeding along Kent-street in a southerly direction. A waggon, drawn by two horses, passed witness, when his horse shied, and carried the cart on to the footpath. Witness managed to get his horse and vehicle off the footpath, and as the wheels passed over the curb, he fell on to one of the shafts. As witness endeavoured to recover his seat, one of his legs touched the horse which commenced kicking, and threw him off the cart. He was dragged a short distance by the reins, but then got free.

The horse with the dray went on.

William Salway deposed to seeing the horse gallop along Kent-street, then into Market-street, and afterwards into Clarence-street. When it arrived near Broughton-lane, constable Hawkins rushed out towards the animal, and after running alongside of it for about ten yards, he endeavoured to seize the reins, but fell, and one of the wheels immediately afterwards passed over his head. The cart was then tipped up.

Hawkins died at once. His body was conveyed to the Infirmary. Dr. Williamson deposed that death arose from a compound depressed fracture of the skull.

A verdict of accidental death was returned.

FATAL ACCIDENT,

A shocking accident happened early on Saturday morning in Clarence-street, which caused the death of a police constable named James Hawkins.

At about eight o’clock that morning a man named Downer was driving an empty tip-dray along Kent-street.

He was going along at a walk, when he was overtaken by a waggon and two horses, the noise of which startled his mare, and caused her to bolt.

Downer was thrown out, and getting entangled with the reins was dragged a few yards.

The frightened animal then galloped off with the dray into Clarence street.

Constable Hawkins, who happened to be there on duty, ran after and attempted to stop the runaway horse, and succeeded in clutching the reins, when his foot slipped. He fell forward on his face in the road, and in a moment afterwards, the wheel of the vehicle passed over his head, killing him on the spot. The accident was witnessed by several persons, who ran to help the poor fellow, but it was seen that he was past all aid, his skull being crushed in on one side.

The deceased was conveyed to the Infirmary, and two hours later an inquest was held on the remains by the City Coroner and a jury, who found a verdict of accidental death.

Hawkins was a promising young man, who had only very recently joined the police force, and it so happened that the day he thus met his death was the first time he had been sent out on day duty.

On Thursday 8 December 1881, the Mounted Constable who had only been stationed at Goulburn for about six weeks after leaving the Police Depot ( Redfern Police Academy ), was riding his Police Mount with Mounted Constable Pritzler to Mummel ( an area nth west of Goulburn ) to fetch a person suspected to be of unsound mind.

Maule was riding ahead and Pritzler was behind, when Maule‘s horse shied and plunged forward over a log, causing Maule   ( an inexperienced rider ) to lose one of his stirrups.  The horse jumped a second log and Maule lost his second stirrup iron and was unseated and fell with his head violently against a tree.

Maule, unconscious and bleeding from the nose, was later loaded into a buggy, with the assistance of the messenger and the prisoner, and taken into Goulburn Hospital – arriving there about 5.30pm.

Maule died from his injuries about 10.30pm as a result of his injuries, including a smashed lower jaw, a split lip, broken nose and severe cut over the temple & concussion of the brain.

Maule was not married.

An Inquest was held on Friday 9 December 1881 with a verdict that Maule was killed by being thrown from his horse accidentally, and added as a rider that they think that more discretion might be exercised in the Sydney depot as to the horsemanship of the men they send out for duty in the country.

Maule joined the New South Wales Police Force in June 1881.  He left England and came to Australia, though it appears his siblings remained in England.  We don’t know why he chose to come to Australia and join the NSW Police Force.  Two of his brothers served in the military, as did his father, and one of his brothers was a solicitor.  His grandfather was a chaplain and his great-grandfather – mayor, alderman and burgess of Huntingdon.

Inquest.

An inquest was held last evening at the Goulburn Hospital by the coroner, Mr. Betts, on the body of William Norman St. George Maule, who had died from the effects of injuries received on the previous day. The jury having been sworn and the body viewed, the following evidence was taken: — Simon Pritzler, a mounted policeman stationed at Goulburn, deposed: The body just viewed was that of constable Maule, of the N.S.W. police ; he had been in the force since last June; the deceased was single and 28 years of age ; on Thursday afternoon last he and witness were going to Mummel and got along all right for about 13 miles, when the deceased’s horse shied to the right of a tree and Maule had pulled him to the left; then he had lost one of his stirrup-irons, when the horse bolted, and about 20 yards away witness saw the horse jump a log, when the deceased lost his other stirrup-iron ; witness then saw the deceased lying on the horse’s neck ; the horse took another bound and the deceased fell off; witness, on galloping up, found him lying on the ground insensible; the deceased’s face was all knocked in ; he sent for assistance and fetched him into Goulburn Hospital in a buggy ; he never recovered consciousness and died five hours after the accident occurred ; witness thought deceased must have been dashed against a tree by the horse just after falling off as it rushed on. Deceased was not a good horseman, having no control over his reins.

Dr. Gentle deposed that he had been asked to see the deceased on the previous evening and found him in a comatose condition with nose broken also lower jaw. He found in addition a wound over left eve about 2 inches in length exposing the bone; blood flowed from his right ear. He believed concussion of the brain to be the cause of death. The jury returned a verdict that the deceased met his death by being accidentally thrown from his horse and they would like to add a rider to the effect that they think more discretion might be exercised in the Sydney depot as to the horsemanship of the men sent out for duty service in the country.

 

 

FATAL ACCIDENT. A MOUNTED-CONSTABLE named William Morman St. John Maule met with a fatal accident on Thursday last while in company with mounted-constable Pritzler in search of a lunatic. It appears that when about 13 miles from town, on the Mummel road, Maule's horse bolted and threw the rider, and in rushing past him knocked deceased with great violence against a tree, rendering hm unconscious. Pritzler at once procured a buggy, in which he conveyed the poor fellow to the hospital, when Drs Davidson and Gentle immediately attended him and found him still in an unconscious state, and suffering from a severe scalp wound, broken jaw, and injured nose, besides several injuries to his body. The sufferer remained unconscious for five hours, when he expired. An inquest held yesterday afternoon at the Hospital before the coroner(A. M. Betts Esq). when the following evidence was taken :- Simon Pritzler deposed: I am a mounted policeman stationed at Goulburn; the body just viewed by the coroner is that of mounted constable William Norman St. John Maule ; he had been at Goulburn about 6 weeks, and had only been in the force since June last ; he was 28 years of age and unmarried ; yesterday afternoon he came to me, and we both went to Mummell, about 14 miles from Goulburn, when we got about 13 miles from Goulburn deceased's horse shied at a tree, and threw one of his feet out of the stirrup-iron, which he lost; the horse went about 2o yards when it jumped a log, and the deceased then lost the other stirrup-iron ; I afterwards saw him some distance away; he was leaning on the horse's neck : the horse gave another bound, and deceased fell off on to his feet ; I then galloped up and found him lying on the ground insensible ; I saw that his face was smashed in ; I sent for some assistance, when I saw that he was seriously injured ; Mrs. Storey brought some water, and after bathing him he appeared to get better ; I then had him placed in a buggy, and brought in to the hospital, when Drs. Gentle and Davidson attended him ; he never recovered consciousness, and died in about five hours after the accident ; at the time deceased's horse shied he was about 30 yards in front of me, and was walking his horse ; from the place where the horse first shied to where deceased was thrown was about 300 yards ; the horse was going at a rapid pace at the time ; after deceased fell from the horse he was knocked against a tree ; the deceased was not a good rider, and the horse was a rather spirited one. Dr. Peter Hume Gentle deposed : I was asked to see deceased last night at nine p.m., and saw him in a comatose condition, with nose broken and the lower jaw broken ; I also found a wound over the eye about two inches in length, exposing the bone ; blood flowed from his right ear ; the pupil of the right eye was dilated, and that of the left contracted ; I believe compression of the brain to have been the cause of death. The jury after a brief consultation, returned a verdict that deceased died from injuries received by being accidentally thrown from his horse, and the jury would like to add that more discretion might be exercised at the Sydney Depot as to the horsemanship of men sent for duty in the country.

Grave location

[divider_dotted]

( On Tuesday 7 October 2014, I attended the Mortis Street General Cemetery, Goulburn, in an attempt to locate the grave of this Constable.  Unfortunately, this historic cemetery is in an extremely poor state with most of the head stones having fallen and most of the graves heavily overgrown with weeds.

There are hundreds of graves at this location, dating back to the early – mid 1800’s.  I had to attend the local library where I obtained the attached ‘ plan ‘ of the cemetery in order to find plat CE79 – the recorded location of the Constables grave.

I returned to the cemetery but, at this stage, could not find CE79 at the location as there are many unmarked graves and fallen head stones in this, Goulburns second oldest cemetery which was established in the late 1830’s. )

.[divider_dotted]

Some records have him buried at Goulburn Anglican Cemetery, Cemetery St, Goulburn ( near the gaol ) plot CE79 but his grave is located at the St Saviour’s Cemetery, Cemetery Rd, Goulburn, OPPOSITE the Goulburn Gaol & NOT in the Mortis St Cemetery.

G’day Bundy,

During my research for my website, I have come across another NSW Mounted Constable who was killed ‘ on duty ‘ at Goulburn on Thursday 8 December 1853 as result of horse accident.

See the link for further details and photos of the grave: https://www.australianpolice.com.au/william-norman-st-john-maule/

This man is NOT mentioned on any official documentation in relation to the Wall of Remembrance and, according to the paper’s, was ‘ on duty ‘ at the time of the horse accident which resulted in his death.

Can you forward this information so that he may be officially recognised to be included in the Wall of Remembrance.

Cheers mate
