This fact I was an eyewitness
to.

of land sold in & about
Rockhampton, a fair share
of Immigrants should be
forwarded to that port at
regular interals. The vessels
could anchor in Keppel Bay,
of which there is no difficulty

communisation will soon be
opened between Rockhampton
& Peak Downs, which are being
stocked by the holders of runs
at a very rapid rate.
6. Court House & Lock-ups
are much required on this

7. The Native Police requires to
be judiustly remited from
far off districts, and a large

of the river Fitzroy, it is in -

sufficency of wharves & stores
for the present wants of the
town
