Mr. Smith I saw dead.
F. Mr. Smith has never had any cattle or worked among cattle during the two years I have been with him. I have never Known him drink grog."
As can be seen from the above extracts taken at the inquiry. Both Mrs. Smith and Corporal Johnnie, in their evidence, (the former on oath and the latter by affirmation) stated that 1st Class Constable Smith had no cattle at Turn-off-Lagoons.
I asked Corporal Johnnie. who is now here how Mrs. Smith get milk at Turn-off-Lagoons. he replied plenty goats.
According to See Too Hee's evidence Turn-offLagoons Station. where he is employed as Cook, is only about 80 yards from the Turn-off-Lagoons Police Station.
| I may mention in passing that Inspector | Sweetman. left here for Townsville on transfer, on | the very day the inquiry was being held at | Burketown into the cause of death of Smith.
The reason I have given only a portion of the evidence taken at the inquriy in this report is that the epitomized portion contains I think a clear conception of Smiths condition before he hung himself, and that the Head Office may grasp the principal facts without having to wade through the whole depositions.
There are reports from Acting Sergeant Gilchrist and Constable Logan attached which are I think immaterial but under the circumstances I am forwarding them,
I have the honor to be Sir, your most obedient Servant, Geo. Brett Inspector.

[in red] In re withdrawal of the Police from Highbury
Conobie - Cloncurry. 28th Novemeber 1892
To the Honble Colonial Secretary Brisbane --
Sir The manager of Gamboola Station, Mitchell river—wires me that it is intended to remove the Police from Highbury.
I hope that such is not the case, as it is only a few months since the blacks killed a good many cattle on Gamboola, and I am told that many of our neigh = bours have found the same thing occur with them.—our horses are not safe from them when out of the paddocks. --
I hope it will be considered in the interests of all that the Police will remain some time longer. There will be droving next year to the Normanton Boiling through that country.
I am - Yours obediently Edwd Palmer
