Police Gazettes are a unique, useful and extremely fascinating resource for
local, family and social historians and researchers in other fields throughout
Australia. Compiled to be distributed amongst the Police Force only, these
Gazettes therefore contain details and information that can not be found
anywhere else.
They include court lists, given on rewards, housebreak-ins, robberies, arson,
murders, lost horses and cattle, deserters, escaped prisoners, missing friends,
lost or stolen items, reports on those apprehended and released, changes in the
police force ... and so much more.
Issued approx. weekly, here collected together on the one CD is the whole
years worth of issues.
Example entries taken from the 14 September 1904 issue:

was found dead in his bedroom, at Somerton, on the previous day. Verdict -
