The services of Mr Hodges, of Castlemaine, chief Chinese interpreter, were placed at the disposal of the police in the investigation into the circumstances attending the death of [[Ah Fook|Ah Fook]], the Chinaman supposed to have been murdered at the Woolshed, near Beechworth. The body of this Chinaman was found upon May 2, in the bush near the old police camp at Woolshed, and from the wounds inflicted upon the body there could be no doubt that the man had come to his death by violent means. At the inquest held upon May 10, before Mr [[Beechworth|Dobbyn]], deputy coroner, a verdict was returned of wilful murder against some person unknown. Mr Hodges, who possesses considerable acquaintance with the manners and customs of the Chinese, has been engaged for some time in investigating this case, and he has recently sent into the Crown Law department a very voluminous report upon the subject.
