Mr. Horne, the then Police Magistrate at Circular Head reports that the Aborigines had speared 200 of the company's sheep, many of which died. Mr Robinson had long previously stated to the Government that all the Blacks in the island had surrendered but it appears that some where afterwards were seen, and Mr G. A. Robinson Jun: went in pursuit and brought in nine. Whether this small mob could have perpetrated outrages at New Norfolk and Circular Head, nearly 180 miles distant from each other I cannot determine.

I am not fully prepared to justify the necessity of removing the peaceable tribes from Port Davy as far as
Cape Cameron, to on the western coast, for it is fairly admitted that they were over friendly and inoffensive.
