Gordon, there's a mention in the Northern Liberator of 9 June 1838:

"On Sunday the body of Wm Smailes, of Warkworth, carrier, aged about 50 years, was found hanging in an out house, near that town. He had been missing since the Wednesday evening preceding and had committed the fatal act while labouring under temporary insanity."
