He met the Bashorun of Abeokuta, who told him that the recent robberies of traders' property were due to the war with Ibadan. It was the custom to suppress trading so as to force the men to war, and the plunder would cease when the war was over. In the meantime, traders should not travel to Abeokuta since their safety could not be guaranteed. Mulliner died on 25 July 1863 while on board the African mail steamer Ethiope near Bathurst, aged 29.He was replaced as Acting Governor by John Hawley Glover. William was the fourth and youngest son of Northampton Coach Maker and Coach Master, (1789–1841) and his wife née Jane Manton (1796–1875). His three elder brothers spread their father's coach building businesses across the Midlands to Liverpool and down to London. (en)
