Henry FLACK (1799 - 1850)

Launceston Examiner, Tasmania
13th November, 1850

A shepherd named Henry Flack, in the employ of Mr. W. Hepburn, of Swansea, was found murdered on the 3rd instant. Around the spot where he was found a number of large stones, having skin and blood on them, were lying, and it is supposed that they were the instruments used to accomplish the deed, his head being horribly mutilated, and the back part of it driven some inches into the ground. A vague suspicion attaches to a fellow shepherd, who is in custody.
