This product is sold as a CD SECOND or SPARE.

  • "CD seconds" or "spares" are perfectly good data wise, but have been put aside due to:
  • faulty label printing, e.g. off colour or misaligned. A few have been manually labelled or corrected

over-produced initially, so offered as "spares" to clear

They are all offered at 60% to 90% discount (from the normal price). They will be supplied in clear CD sleeves, rather than the normal CD cases. In many cases they are the last available, i.e. they won't be available, even at full price, when sold out.

If you had family living in Victoria in the 1870s, have you thought of looking at the Police Gazettes for information? These are a unique, useful and extremely fascinating resource for local, family and social historians. Compiled to be distributed amongst the Police Force only, these Gazettes contain details and information that can not be found anywhere else.

This CD-ROM is a compilation of all 52 issues that were produced of 1871 of the Victoria Police Gazette. Each issue is usually eight or ten pages in length, and contains information such as court lists, lists of warrants issued, appointments and changes in the Police Service, lists of arrests and discharges (which include descriptions), escaped prisoners, and missing persons. Notices from Police Gazettes from other states are also often included.

Each issue is divided into specific categories, and entries appear under the appropriate heading, such as: Incendiarism, Highway Robbery and Stealing From the Person, Housebreaking and Stealing from Dwelling-Houses, Felonies and Offences not Otherwise Described, Miscellaneous Information, Stealing Otherwise Than from the Person or from Dwellings, Horses and Cattle, Property Found, Property Lost, Missing Friends, Deserters from Merchant Vessels, Courts, Extracts from New South Wales Police Gazette, Extracts from South Australian Police Gazette, Extracts from Tasmanian Crime Report, Prisoners Reported as Discharged from the Penal Departments During the Week

Example entries, all taken from the 28 February 1871 issue:
