now with reference to the murder of
his two black boys "Ned" and "Ningi"
by the wild aborigines I consider Mr
Robinson has himself to blame for leaving
them by themselves in charge of his
station and property without a
white man near them. Mr Robinson
knew that the aborigines were both
numerous and dangerous and yet in
the face of this he leaves his station
and makes no provision for the safety
of his unfortunate black boys but leaves
them to the mercy of these wild
cannibal aborigines.
Mr Robinson like all
station owners that work their stock
on the cheap with simply a couple
of blackboys would of course and
naturally enough like to have a native
Police Station on his run for then he
would do without employing white
labor but as I said before I
don't envision one is required there
as ample Police protection can be
afforded to Mr Robinson by working
a double Detachment from Nigger
Creek
I have the honor to be
Sir
Your most obedient Servant
