similar information to those of other Australian states. Listing general police
information, promotions, demotions, those leaving the force etc, as well as
property stolen, property found, arson, murder, warrants issued, arrests and

history, local history or social history). Containing the names and dates of
many thousands of people and events that occurred throughout 1872, finding
