Adelaide City Coroner, 1949. State Records of South Australia, GRG1/27 (Inquest files: City Coroner and successors), file 71/1949.

The coroner's 1949 inquest file, with the depositions (Cleland's inquest) on which most accounts of the case rest. Open, because it is more than sixty years old; the file of the 1958 resumed inquest is restricted.
