Are you aware that Police Gazettes are a unique, useful, fascinating resource, and they contain a goldmine of information for local, family and social historians? They were compiled to be distributed amongst the Police Force only, and as such, contain details and information that can not be found anywhere else.

While they do include listings of those in the Police Force who have been appointed, discharged, resigned or died, they contain so much more such as:

• Housebreaking and Stealing
• Assault, Larceny, Murder, Forgery and more
• Horses and Cattle Impounded and Lost
• Property Lost and Found
• Deserters from H.M. Service
• Deserters of Wives and Children
• Inquests
• Missing Persons
• Warrants Issued
• Prisoners Discharged
• Extracts from other Australian Police Gazettes

Usually issued weekly, here collected together on the one CD is all 52 issues released during 1891. Features of the 1891 volume are the lists of auctioneer licence holders.
