Very good question. There were two blokes by this name (spelt Muscuito), but the one I think you are thinking of was reputed to have this exchange with his goaler:

Musquito was said to have insisted his execution was useless as an example to the Aborigines, and to have told Gaoler Bisdee, Hanging no good for black fellow. Bisdee asked Why not as good for black fellow as for white fellow, if he kills a man? to which Musquito replied Very good for white fellow, for he used to it.
