Police Gazette

Western Australian Police Gazettes Cont...

History researcher Ken Ross extracted and indexed entries published in the Western Australian Police Gazette between 1876 and 1900, concentrating specifically on events in the Guildford area. Listings include reporting of crimes, warrants, licensing, police appointments, dismissals, discharges, promotions, resignations and transfers. Information about convicts is provided, such as granting of ticket of leave, and conditional pardons. Social issues are covered including industrial products, household items, lost or stolen property, and requests to find missing family members and friends. Inquest findings give date, name of Magistrate officiating, name and date of death of person, and the verdict.
