 - lost or stolen property and stock—names of victims
 - deserting wives, families, etc
 - deserting from military service and merchant vessels
 - missing friends

 - prisoners tried at supreme and circuit courts
 - prisoners discharged from gaols and prisoners released under licence

Gazettes are published by governments and their agencies as a means of communication to officials and the general public. As such they are useful, not only to monitor the actions of the government, but also as far as family historians are concerned, they are valuable primary source documents.
