to the Colonial Secretary with a letter from Mr Anstey.

Oatland
21st Dec. 1830
Sir
In obedience to the Government Order No. 12 bearing date of the 7th October 1830, I have the honor to send you, in 25 pages, a Report of the Outrages committed by the Aborigines in the District of Oatlands, from the commencement of 1825 until the end of December 1830, with a list of the persons murdered by the Natives, on whom we have held Inquisitions.

Mr Jorgen Jorgenson, who, with much industry, collected the facts for me, has stated them with reference to the different Parishes, and not in Chronological Order of the whole of the Outrages.

I have the honor to be 
Ths Anstey

John Burnett Esq
