DARING OUTRAGE BY THE BLACKS.
“ The blacks,” says the Brisbane Courier, of April 15th, “ have perpetrated another most daring outrage on the Normauby river, within a mile of the township and of the police camp at that place. A packer named James M’Namara, with loading for Kdwardatown, camped there one evening last week with thirteen horses, and on proceeding to round them up in the morning found seven lying on the ground killed, and three others with spears still sticking in their bodies, while one had been killed and carried away bodily to a distance, where it was skinned, cut up into joints, and the meat removed. The whole of these were valuable animals, while the three which were permitted to escape were but scrubbers in comparison. ‘ The police are in pursuit,’ to use the stereotyped phrase, but bitter complaint is made by the packers of the apathy of the police force.”
