• escapees and absconders from custody
• housebreakers and burglars
• licensed carriers
• deserting wives, families, etc
• deserting from military service
• deserting from merchant vessels
• inquests
• missing friends
• murderers and their victims
• police resignations
• prisoners discharged from gaols
• prisoners released on tickets of leave
• property recovered
• rewards—names of persons offering a reward
• victims of arson
• victims of horse and cattle stealing or straying
• victims of lost or stolen property
