INDEX

Special thanks to Mr. Alan Hill of the "Border Watch" newspaper, Mount Gambier, for letting me freely access the archives and photocopiers, and for his permission to reproduce a few of the many newspaper articles I found. The "Border Watch" has been following the doings of the local magistrates for almost 150 years.

Special thanks to Greg Thomas, Registrar of the Mt. Gambier Court, for finding and saving the old court files and benchbooks, and for telling me about them. And to the librarian at the Mt. Gambier library, who stores the boxes of mouldering court papers.

This is a graphical section, containing scanned material. Some files are very large.
