He had sufficient warning of his approaching end to call the steward to bring him pen, ink and paper, and to write down an address in Victoria to which the news of his death should be sent, but he had barely finished when he fell back dead. No one knew the man, and the authorities buried him in Fremantle.

When the news of Poore's death reached his friends in Melbourne his papers and effects were examined, and they showed beyond all doubt that the deceased was Sir Edward Poore, baronet, of Rushall, in the county of Wiltshire, England. He was the third baronet, and succeeded his father on the 13th of October, 1838, being then only 12½ years of age, as he was born on 6 March 1826. When he was 18 years of age he was appointed an ensign in the Scotch Fusilier Guards, a crack regiment, but he retired four years later. Shortly before he attained his 25th year he married Miss Frances Elizabeth Moody, daughter of the Rev. Henry Riddell Moody, rector of Chatham [sic for Chartham], Kent. In the following year he made a voyage to Canada, and a son [who later became the 4th baronet] was born to him there. In 1860 he was in France, as is shown by a passport which bears his signature, a singularly striking one, and showing little or no alteration from autographs which he executed not many weeks ago. In 1863 a son, Herbert, was born to him, and subsequently there were two daughters, Elsie and Catherine; but since then Burke's Peerage is silent to the family history - chiefly, it may be presumed, because Poore exiled himself from England about that period. Some time in the early part of the seventies he appeared in Australia. As he admitted afterwards to others with whom he had become confidential, but never to the extent of disclosing his real identity, he had left England because he had abandoned his wife and children, and thrown in his lot with a woman with whom he was infatuated.

His early days in Australia were devoted to a lavish expenditure of money, no luxury being too gross for him. Thousands of pounds were squandered in jewellery, especially diamonds, for which, right through his colonial career, he manifested an insatiable passion. One single diamond that he
