Brisbane.
Sir,
I have the honor to inform
you that I received your reply to petition re
forming a Native Police Camp at Woorora.
As I have been one of the greatest Sufferers by the
blacks since 1883 I think the Government ought
to give us more protection than we have at
present.
I applied to Inspector Lamond on the 12th May for
a patrol and the Police have not turned
up yet. If it takes nearly five weeks to go 36 miles
that is no protection at all.
The district that the officer at Nigger Creek has
to travel over is very much too large and it would
take one man doing nothing else but patrolling
on this side of Atherton.
There is no encouragement to settle on the Land,
when a person comes home and sees all his
things gone and his house burnt down what
encouragement is that.
Hoping that some more protection will be
given to this district. I have the honor to be
Yours obediently
Fred. W. Robinson.
