in safety to the Lockup keeper
at Warialda, one lad accused
of pilfering called the "five boys"
who was apprehended and
detained in custody for some
time was discharged by me
for want of sufficient evidence
on oath -he however himself
told me that he had stolen
some flour from a Chinaman.
The proper way to deal with
such lads, would be give them
a good horsewhipping and
dismiss them -One black
called Lippy accused on oath
of a violent assault and robbing
two Chinamen, was killed by
the Police in an attempt made
by him to escape in the dark.
Mr. Marshall will hold the
usual enquiry-
6-I start to day with
twenty men to reinforce
Mr Fulford and shall
probably return here about
the 20th October in order to
settle all the accounts up to
the
