Description

"...I received a communication from Mr John Rutledge that a party of blacks had been upon his station on the Goulburn River on the 12th ult., that they had killed a number of sheep and an assigned servant of Doctor Forster's name George Mould, per Mangles. I immediately desired Mr De Villiers with the black police to proceed there, and if the people who were present at the killing of the man could be identified, to endeavour to apprehend them. They returned on the 13th inst., but without having accomplished anything, beyond tracking the tribe they went in pursuit of a considerable way along the Goulburn." p341, William Lonsdale to Col. Sec., 14 December 1838 Native Police unable to find those responsible in Cannon, Michael (ed.) Historical Records of Victoria Vol 2A The Aborigines of Port Phillip 1835-1839, Melbourne: Victorian Government Printing Office 1982
