The death sentence for both was commuted to transportation for life. Maitland Mercuryt & Hunter River General Advetiser 24 Jul 1850 A MAN BURNT TO DEATH IN HIS HUT. On Monday an inquest was held at the Paterson Hotel, Paterson, before J. S. Parker, Esq., Coroner, on the body of John Byan. It appeared from the evidence of John Buckley, Charles Robins, and Boyfield Wormersly, that Byan and Buckley lived in adjoining rooms or huts, both being shoemakers in the employ of Mr. Wormersly. On Saturday about mid-day Mr. Wormersly took Buckley some work, and afterwards Mr. Wormersly accompanied Ryan to the Pater- son Hotel, where Ryan drank three glasses of rum, and then went to see the doctor; he again returned to the hotel, and took one more glass of rum, and then appears to have gone home again. In the course of the afternoon Buckley heard Ryan talking and "going on" in his room, and heard him call his (Buckley's) wife improper names ; as this was the first time such a thing had happened, Buckley concluded that Ryan was intoxicated; Ryan, it appears, bore the reputation of being " a cranky character," and Buckley did not go to him. After dark Ryan called to Buckley to lend him a blanket or some bags, but Buckley replied that he had neither to lend; again, later, Ryan called out to ask Buckley to come in and cover him with a rug, and Buckley called out that he would if Ryan would open his door ; Ryan at first said he would, but then said "I cannot get up"; Buckley told him he could not get in if he did not open the door. After this Buckley heard Ryan talking to himself for some time, but nothing more occurred to attract his attention. The next morning Buckley rose as usual, between seven and eight o'clock, and went outside to walk up and down ; he was surprised to see no smoke issuing from Ryan's chimney, as was usual, and having learnt from his wife that she had seen nothing of Ryan that morning, Buckley looked through a crack in the door, and saw Ryan lying still, and apparently dead and much burnt, in the fire-place ; Buckley called to another neighbour to look, who said that Ryan was evidently dead, and then went for Mr. Worm- ersly and the chief constable ; the chief constable opened the door, on his arrival, and Ryan was found lying dead in his fire-place. The jury returned a verdict that Ryan came to his death from injuries received from fire by falling into the fire-place in his hut some time on Saturday night ; they also found that he had been drinking during the day, but that there was no evidence to show how his clothes caught fire, or that he was in an unfit state to take care of himself. |
