Victoria Police Gazette 1894. 1894. Police Gazettes are an untapped source of information for the genealogist. They contain a wealth of information for anyone with interests in someone who was in the Victorian Police Force as well a people police dealt with. You may find your ancestor among those on the wrong side of the law ? or perhaps as a victim of a robbery or assault, or even just a missing person or a witness to an event. Details can all be found in the Police Gazettes. Compiled to be distributed amongst the Police Force only, the Police Gazettes contain fascinating details and information that can not be found anywhere else. Each issue is usually eight (or so) pages, and contains information on changes within the police force such as promotions, demotions, resignations, dismissals, deaths etc. Also details on rewards, housebreak-ins, robberies, arson, murders, inquests, lost horses and cattle, deserters, escaped prisoners, missing friends, lost, found and stolen items, reports on those apprehended and discharged, and so much more. Notices from interstate police gazettes are often included. <blockquote> Example entry taken from the 12 December 1894: Housebreaking and Stealing from Dwelling-houses See Police Gazette, 1894, p.342 Elizabeth Bone's larceny - A warrant has been issued for the arrest of a woman named Valentine for stealing the brooch.
