I've corrected the text so its a bit easier to read:
The Argus (Melbourne, Vic.)
Tuesday 28 April 1885

INQUEST.
SUICIDE.

Mr. Candler, the district coroner, held an inquest at Collingwood on Saturday on the body of Hector Bartlett, a plasterer, aged 63 years, who had been drinking heavily lately. When his wife retired at half-past 10 o'clock on Thursday night, he was asleep on a sofa, but on the following morning about 7 o'clock when she went to an outhouse, she found him hanging by the neck from a rafter. She called a neighbour, who cut him down, but life was then extinct. The jury returned a verdict of suicide during temporary in- sanity.

Hello! 

Thank you for this Jenn. What an amazing resource! I have found the articles. Wondeful snippets providing a little further insight into the life and sad death of Hector. The family seems to have faced many challenges.

Damian....another fascinating story involving a member of the Bartlett family. With great interest, I have just followed the thread from the webpage you provide in your posting. I would be pleased to correspond further with you about the Williams and Bartletts. 

With a smile
