Has Description of Event`hasDescriptionOfEvent`

'Murray, accompanied by Powell and Walker and their troopers, reached Taroom from Eurombah on 29 December 1857, and "finding two notorious scoundrels called 'Jerry' and 'Jackey' I ordered the police to fire, and they were both killed". Murray said Jerry had been a terror in this neighbourhood for a long time, the most dangerous person on the district. Murray believed Jerry had been the murderer of John McLaren on Isla station in 1854. Murray reported that the troopers in the Upper Dawson had behaved remarkably well through a great deal of harassing and fatiguing work.' (Reid 1981:121, citing Murray, Cockatoo, 4 January 1858, to Morisset)^[1]all time · Row 1228 Eid 37910
