WE ASSAULTED THE CONSTABULARY

 Extracts from the Campbell Street Gate-book 

1873—1890 

Compiled by Laurie Moody  

The following is a list of prisoners who were charged with assaulting various members of the constabulary between the years 1875–80. The surnames of the constables who were assaulted are shown on the offence.  This practice appears to have ceased after 1880 as no further names appear.  As the act of assaulting the police was a common offence, I have only listed the names where a constable’s surname is shown.  Most were sentenced at the Police Office Hobart unless otherwise stated before being taken to Campbell Street Gaol to serve their sentences.

 

Some time ago someone asked if I had a list of prison warders who were employed at Campbell Street Gaol.  Unfortunately, I don’t have at this stage.  However, some thirty odd surnames of staff employed there between 1875 and 1880 may possibly assist this person.

 

As per usual, a search of BDM records was undertaken for each person mentioned.

 

Abbreviations:

 

New South Wales appears as NSW, Campbell Street Gaol as CSG and Launceston General Sessions as LGS.
