Note:
Part Four completes the entire contents of the 1873-90 Campbell Street Gaol
Gate-book. The gate-book itself, appears to have unfortunately vanished into
obscurity. Attempts to locate it have so far proved unsuccessful. If anyone
does happen to stumble across it, I would be delighted to hear from you, so
would the Achives Office of Tasmania.
