Editing Redmond Barry (section)

==Death==
''[[The Argus (Melbourne)|The Argus]]'' reported that Barry had been suffering from diabetes for about ten years, but on his return from his trip to Europe and America it was apparent that the disease had affected his system. On Monday, 15 November, he was first troubled with a carbuncle on his neck.

Sir Redmond was counselled by his medical adviser to at once rest from duty, but he was reluctant to do so, and continued to attend the court until he was compelled to take rest. He was constantly attended by Dr Gunst, who, however, could scarcely impress his patient with a sense of the very serious nature of his disease, which he regarded somewhat lightly. He became restless, and it was deemed advisable to place him under the constant care of a nurse. Despite the precautions, Barry caught cold through exposure, and congestion of the left lung set in. Dr Gunst held a consultation with Dr Teague, and pronounced the case hopeless. The left lung had become greatly congested, and this, together with the exhaustion and wasting away of the system resulting from the previous disease, proved fatal.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article5964187 |title=SIR REDMOND BARRY, K.C.M.G., LL.D. |newspaper=[[The Argus (Melbourne)|The Argus]] |location=Melbourne |date=24 November 1880 |accessdate=9 February 2012 |page=5 |publisher=National Library of Australia}}</ref>
