Apparently he left the Young Queens Hotel (in a drunken state) after an argument with the publican and later was found drowned in the river. He is suspected of falling of a bridge in the area. An inquest was held at the Young Queens Hotel. he had migrated from the Isle of Skye three years earlier on the ship Araminta.Mungaluphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11993088206545304246noreply@blogger.com
