Death of the Rev. J. T. Dunne, Freeman's Journal, Sydney, 16 November 1867, p 7, http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article119440484:

The death of an Irish missionary priest is not a very unusual occurrence. There is scarcely a country on the face of the habitable globe where the successors of Columbkille have not laboured and laid down life in the service of the Cross. Some of them fall in the bloom of manhood, and others pass to their reward with the snows of many winters on their head ; but, whether their years of toil in the Vineyard be few or many, the love of their flocks accompanies them to the grave, and lives after them in the heartfelt prayers offered for the eternal repose of their souls. Here in Australia we have had many instances of the young and vigorous, and of the old and time-worn servants of the Lord breathing their last among us, far away from the land of their birth and the home of their affections. Perhaps one of the saddest of those partings is the latest—that of the Rev. J. T. Dunne, who passed into a happier and better world, after a protracted and a painful illness, on Tuesday last. The few particulars which we could gather of his life and labours among us, we subjoin, beseeching all to pray for the eternal repose of his soul. [...]

The funeral services for the repose of his soul took place in St. Mary's Cathedral on Thursday morning to which place the body had been removed the previous evening. [...]

His Grace occupied his throne on the Gospel side of the altar, and was attended by the Very Rev. Dean Rigney and the Very Rev. J. F. Sheridan. The following clergy were within the Sanctuary: — [...] and D'Ackerman. [...]

Fr T.J. Linane, From Abel to Zundolovich, Vol. 2: Biographies of Priests on the Australian Scene up to 1900, 1980, p 128:

D'Arkermann, Hugh, French
The name could be D'Ackermann, and the youth in training was coopted by Bishop Pompallier for the incipient New Zealand Mission. He left Europe on 4 September 1860, arriving in New Zealand on the 30th of September. The following year the Bishop ordained his recruit and appointed him to the Puhoi Mission. As with many of the Pompallier recruits a dissatisfaction caused them to look for an appointment and service in Sydney. Father Hugh turns up in Parramatta in 1866. There the trail ends.
