  (alias Money-open[?]) who was

Ipswich Feb'ry 7th / 1862
Sir
I have the honor to call
your attention to the conduct
of a Black called Jemmy
(alias Money-open[?]) who was
the principal cause of the
apprehension of Kipper Billy
one of the Blacks on trial this
session, and found guilty
of a capital offence.
Single handed, he at
my request, attempted his
capture, and but for the
timely assistance of a
bullock driver would have
lost his life.
Any recognition of his
service by the Government
in any small way, would
I think bear a beneficial
affect, and encourage
Blacks to assist in the
apprehension of offenders
otherwise not easily to be
taken.
I have the honor to be
Sir
Your most obed serv't

Police Magistrate
