The Mount Alexander Mail 12 Dec 1894
Mr William Pallett, the landlord of the Royal Hotel, Bendigo, was found dead in the city
baths on Sunday morning. The deceased was a  native of Bendigo and 36 years of age. He was a Freemason and a member of the All Saints' choir for many years, and was prominent in musical circles.
An inquiry was held, at which evidence was given that the deceased went to the city
baths for a warm bath. The caretaker noticing that the water was flowing out under the
door opened the door and found Mr Pallett dead in the bath.The medical evidence was
to the effect that the deceased was drowned, probably having been overtaken by an apoplectic fit.

William had no real estate in his deceased estate

You can search here for a digitised probate file - mainly furniture, no mention of hotel property.  I suggest he was the licensee and was renting the hotel.

On Saturday morning Mrs Pallett's Royal Hotel, in Bendigo, was entered by a thief, who
stole £7 from one of the drawers. The house keeper, Mrs Matthews, was awakened by a
noise, and saw a man in the act of taking her watch from the dressing-table. She at once
jumped out of bed and followed the burglar, who, however, escaped.

Still there in 1900

The Annals of Bendigo can be found in the family history section of lots of libraries, if not an inter library loan would probably be possible.
The Tim Hewit book should also be available the same way, I have it here somewhere but it has obviously wormed its way behind another book.

I presume by the conflicting information in the Castlemaine paper and the Bendigo Advertiser that William died in the Bendigo baths which were not far from Forest St.

His death notice states he died Forest Street, Bendigo but that was his residential address :)

I have to go out now but will have another look through my resources later.

I have family tree for Bendigo Pallett’s going back to 1700s
I have some photos of grave and will be visiting again in near future. There is a picture on a heritage cemetery website. The Pallett’s actually built the mortuary chapel in Bendigo cemetery. Bendigo was originally called Sandhurst .
