Attorney Genls [sic] Office
Brisbane 8th January 1862
[in left margin]
62/174
Sir,
I have the honor to forward to you
certain depositions taken by Mr Dutton J.P.
at a magisterial enquiry into the cause of the
death of two aboriginal natives found dead on
Mr James Steeles [sic] Station of Fairfield and
which investigation appears to have been held
on the complaint of Mr Steele who charges Lieutt
Morehead of the Native Police with the murder
of the said Aboriginals —
The evidence fails entirely in my opinion
to substantiate a charge of murder against
Lieutt Morehead but I have deemed it to be
my duty to forward the depositions to you
for your preusal —
I have the honor to request that the
documents may be returned for the purpose
of being filed in this Office in the usual
manner —
I have the honor to remain
Sir
Your most obedt Servant
[signed] Ratcliffe Pring
