Mr. Fernyhough has faithfully pourtrayed [sic] on stoned, an excellent likeness of Piper, the well known native who accompanied Major Mitchell in his expedition into the interior. Piper is to be seen strutting about Sydney with his red coat and cocked hat with long white feathers’ he is a fine man for a native, and has rendered himself notorious from having shot dead the chief, who with his tribe followed the Major’s party for a very considerable distance – watching, it is supposed, a proper opportunity for plunder and murder.
