NOTE the Ship Hotel, in Wellington Street, Picton, was first established in the early 1850s, it was rebuilt several times. In the early 1890s it contained "four comfortable sitting rooms, a large billiard room, with an excellent table; fourteen bedrooms, and a large bath room with hot and cold water laid on. The bar is stocked with the best of wines, spirits and cordials; and a good table is kept"
It later became known as the Post Office Hotel


On the night of 22 June 1895 Thomas James Gullery visited the Ship Hotel between 6 & 7pm. In the bar was Robert Humber the licensee, a servant girl Amy Alexander, Mr Ashton and George Michael Harris.
Mr Humber said he closed his bar at 11p.m. then went to shut the front door. When he returned he saw Mr Ashton picking Gullery up from the floor and putting him on the sofa. He heard no disturbance nor saw no altercation. Gullery appeared to be in a sleeping condition. Mrs Ellen Humber told him that Gullery had had his ear clipped.
He did not observe any injury on Gullery nor any blood visible anywhere. He went to bed at 11.30, leaving Gullery lying on the couch, in an ordinary drunken sleep, or so he thought ...


re DEATH of Thomas James Gullery
Marlborough Express, 5 July 1895 The CHARGE of MANSLAUGHTER
... In the S.M. Court at Picton, yesterday, before Mr John Allen, S.M., George Michael HARRIS was charged with the manslaughter of Thomas James Gullery
Mr O'Leary, in the absence of Mr R. McCallum, conducted the prosecution, Mr W. Sinclair appeared for accused, and Mr McNab was present to watch the case on behalf of Mr Humber.
The evidence produced was similar to that given at the inquest.
The medical witnesses were severely cross questioned by counsel for accused, who quoted a number of cases of a similar nature.
His Worship, on the application of Mr Sinclair, adjourned the case at 8 p.m., until noon to-day at Blenheim

On the case being called at the Blenheim Court to-day, Mr Sinclair called Dr Cleghorn, who said that any of the three accidents:
1/ the fall over the Torea Track on Friday night
2/ the fall in the Ship Hotel on Saturday night
3/ the puncture wound over the eye,
was a possible cause of the compression of the brain which caused Gullery's death.
The instrument which caused the wound over the eye might have been applied with concussive force. A case had come under his personal notice in which a man who had had his skull fractured while in a drunken state, walked to a London hospital on more than one day for medical attendance, and dying on the fifth day. After the accident, a clot of blood was found on the base of the skull.
Also in a recent case at the Blenheim hospital a boy had been kicked by a horse and rendered unconscious only for a few minutes, was operated on the seventh day after the accidnet and a clot of blood was discovered between the dura mater and the brain, with depression of the bone. There was in this case an ounce of blood in the clot. There were cases on record in which a man went about his business for a month before fatality occurred. The rupture of the brain artery, which was the only cause of Gullery's death, might have been caused by the fall at Torea. The hemorrhage of blood if there was one at that time, might have been stopped by the pressure of blood, and excitement on Saturday might have caused a recurrence of the bleeding with fatal results.
His worship said that there was a prima facie case, and he would have to commit accused for trial at the next sessions of the Supreme Court. He was sorry to have to do so, for he had known the parties interested, for many years, but it was his only course.
Bail was allowed accused in consideration of one surety of ?50 from Mr H. Seymour and his recognizance of ?100


the VERDICT
... The sitting having been resumed, Mr Fell, Coroner, summed up in a few words. He asked the Jury to study the case well; if there was any foul play, to sift it well out and to give an independent decision.
The Jury retired at 7.10 p.m., and returned at 8.20 with a verdict that "Death was caused from compression of the brain, resulting from the rupture of a blood vessel through a fall, caused, in the Ship Hotel, by a blow delivered from George Michael Harris; and that the Jury is of opinion there was no bodily harm intended."
A rider was added "That gross neglect was shown by the landlord of the Ship Hotel in not taking prompt remedies after the unfortunate occurrence"


NOTE
his widow, Mary Jane next married Samuel Joseph HUNTER (1868-1912)
