Force (promotions, demotions, deaths, new recruits etc), house-breakins,
robberies, arson, murders, lost horses and cattle, deserters (both from HM
Service, and wives and families), property stolen, property found, escaped
prisoners, captured prisoners, reports of prisoners tried since the last issue
(together with their name, offence, on whom the offence was committed, when and
when tried, and the sentence), missing persons an a whole host more ....
including some information from interstate police gazettes.
