Described in Quotein disputedescribedInQuote

• ‘Sergeant Devine, the recently appointed police officer to Byerstown, is proving himself very efficient in keeping the town free from black arrogance since his arrival. A Chinaman was speared and killed on the Palmer, and immediately on the case being reported by some packers, Devine and his troopers started in pursuit of the fiendish murderers, following them over the range to Hell's Gates, where, to use a Q.N. P. phrase, "they were quietly, and this time very quietly, dispersed."' (Daily Northern Argus 19 February 1876, p2)^[1]all time · Row 0530 Eid 19449
• ‘The blacks have been rather troublesome about here of late, and Sergeant Devine with his troopers have had some pretty rough work in keeping the niggers quiet. The savages were followed across the ranges towards Hell's Gates, where they were quietly dispersed; but the rain being so heavy, the avengers of the speared Chinamen were nearly perished for rations and all caught the fever. In the blacks' camp were found boots, rice, tea, and lots of odds and ends, which apparently belonged to Europeans.’ (Mackay Mercury and South Kennedy Advertiser 18 March 1876, p2)^[1]all time · Row 0530 Eid 19449
