Surname: Wilks
First Name: Stephen Geary
Ship: Adamant 1821
Date: Sydney Gazette, 12 August 1824
Place: Bathurst district
Source: R. v. Johnston, Clarke, Nicholson, Castles, and Crear Supreme Court of New South Wales Forbes C.J., 6 August1824; Sydney Gazette
Details: Henry Trickey, a crown servant in the employ of Captain Raine, deposed, that he lives on his master s estate at the two mile creek, distant five miles from O Connel-plains, and eighteen from Bathurst; that he is acquainted with Sidmouth Valley. He was going, about five weeks since, on a Tuesday, with his mess to grind; when between Sidmouth Valley and the two-mile creek, a trifling distance from the main road to Bathurst, his attention was arrested by a large quantity of crows, eagle hawks, and other birds of prey; he proceeded to the spot, and was surprised to find the bodies of three black women. The ground upon which those bodies were, is called the Government reserve. He returned to his hut for a spade, and interred the bodies, which were in a state of putrefaction. He did not particularly examine them, only one was an old woman, and the others were apparently girls. He was at work the day before within half-a-mile of the spot, but heard the discharge of no musketry. The day subsequent he saw the prisoners, but had no conversation upon the subject. This witness also stated, that the country was in considerable alarm from the atrocities committed by the natives. Mr. Stephen Geary Wilks, acting surgeon at Bathurst, examined the bodies of three aboriginal women. Upon one of the bodies he discovered a wound, which had penetrated the cavity of the abdomen; in examining the second, there appeared a hole upon the bone of the skull; and the third exhibited nothing extraordinary. The wounds were sufficient to cause death[.] That, inflicted upon the skull, was of such force as to leave no doubt of its being occasioned by a gun-shot
