“Barrow, a half caste boy, at that time in the service of Mr. Gregor, at Caboolture Creek, Pine River, was sitting on horseback about eighty or a hundred yards from the stockyard, and on the other side of the gully, when he saw a number of blacks, amongst whom was the prisoner Dundalli, bringing in bark, which they threw down near the stockyard. Mr. Gregor stooped down to lay the bark straight, when the prisoner advanced and struck him a back-handed blow on the forehead with a waddy. Thinks he struck him a second blow and another black struck him also. Mr. Gregor then fell across the bark. They then went into the hut where Mary Shannon was. Dundalli went in with them, and witness saw him and others come out with flour, tea, sugar tobacco, and blankets, which they carried away to the scrub. Another black went down to the creek with a waddy in his hand, after Mary Shannon’s husband, who ran away and was pursued by the black, but escaped. When all the blacks went away, witness went over to the hut and found Mary Shannon laying dead inside. There was blood on her. Saw Mr. Andrew Gregor laying dead near the bark. In the evening Thomas Shannon returned, and afterwards Mr. Griffin and Mr. Mason came to the station. Next day the soldiers came from Brisbane. Mr. William Mason was living at the Pine River in 1846, and on the evening of the murder went to the station. Saw the dead bodies of Mary Shannon and Andrew Gregor. Mrs. Shannon had a cut, apparently from a tomahawk, on one side of the head. It had cut the top of her ear off, and cleft open the scull [sic]. Mr. Gregor had one of his eyes beaten out, apparently with a waddy or other blunt instrument, and the brain was protruding. Saw the bodies buried. There were tracks of blacks’ feet all about the hut, leading to the scrub. Some pillow cases, with flour and sugar in, were found there.”
