From The Cork Examiner, 22 April 1863 -

SUDDEN DEATH OF A CONVICT.
----------
ABOUT five o'clock on Monday evening, one of the
convicts at Spike Island, a young man named Arthur
M'Donald, whilst working on the grounds was attacked
with weakness, and almost immediately expired. He had
been undergoing a term of three years' penal servitude.
Mr. Henry Barry, coroner, and a jury, proceeded
yesterday from Queenstown to the island and held an
inquest on deceased. They found a verdict that death
ensued from natural causes.
