Biography

The deceased was buried at Morrissey Pool near Bangemall by Police Constable Thomas Binning (Regimental Number 18) of Thomas River Police Station, Yinnietharra Station.  PC Riely stated that he buried him where he found him - about 7 miles from Morrissey Pool.

It was supposed the deceased was a brother of Charles Hall, the prospector of the Kimberley goldfield.  About 12 months earlier, he arrived from the Ashburton  at Bangemall, where he was working a lode backed by William Hatch of Mongerra Station.  Hatch had recently dissolved the partnership with him as the lode was not proving to be successful.
