Maitland Mercury and Hunter River General Advertiser (NSW : 1843 - 1893), Saturday 19 March 1870, page 3
| The particulars of an accident to a son of Mr. Unicomb have reached us from the Dawson. On Tuesday morning the youth, in company with his brother, started up the river duck-shooting. At the conclusion of their sport they returned towards home, and one of the boys, while moving his gun, caught the hammer in the side of the boat, thus exploding the charge in both barrels. The contents lodged in his brother's left hand, after passing through and tearing away a large portion of flesh from the right arm below the elbow. The sufferer is now under medical treatment, and is favorably progressing towards recovery.

| Mr James Unicomb, who had accidentally received a gunshot wound in the arm a fortnight before, expired at 1 o'clock p.m. on Wednesday. The immediate cause of his death appears to have been the loss of blood resulting from the rupture of an artery. The corpse had to be removed to an adjacent barn, built on higher ground, or it would have been carried away; and the remains had to be kept three days unburied, fruitlessly waiting for the arrival of a coroner to hold an inquest.
