Sketches of Australian Life and Scenery Complete in 12 Plates
Plate Ten: The Way Her Majesty's Mails & The Public Protectors are Served in New South Wales
Caption: The illustration is unfortunately a common occurrence in New South Wales, a late Summary describes the bushranging there as a permanent institution and asserts that so totally inadequate is the Police Force to cope with the evil that instead of capturing and destroying the gangs, find their numbers and depredations increasing daily. In the case we have illustrated, not only did the Bushrangers robe the mail, but actually robbed and tied up the police who came to the rescue of the unfortunate passengers.
Artist: Loosely based on drawings by S.T. Gill, including some plates from The Australian sketchbook.
