Excellency

Police Department, Victoria,
5th March, 1849.
I have the honor to submit
through you for the information of
the Governor, returns for the year 1848, showing the number of persons apprehended by Police, the results before Magistrate, and making a comparison
with the years
1846 - 1847; also a return of the crimes and offences coming
to the knowledge of the Police, in which no
persons were apprehended: The result
of the first is very favorable, as it exhibits
a total decrease as compared with the
year 1847, of 396 persons,
or more than twenty per cent.
The Honorable
Major Caine
Colonial Secretary.
