Structure of the Victoria police force
In July 1878 a change was effected in the police arrangements of the country districts. Beechworth and Mansfield and a portion of Kilmore were combined, forming the North-Eastern district, and Superintendent Sadleir placed in charge, with his head quarters in Benalla.
Should the police be able to vote in Parliamentary elections? (Argus8/4/80)
The problems with the police operations after the Stringybark Creek Murders
The Royal Commission made the following conclusions about the problems that confronted the police at the time of the murders;
"The constables were found armed with revolvers that, under the circumstances, were comparatively useless. A few rifles were scattered throughout the district, but such was the inadequacy of the armament available that, upon the departure of Kennedy on his fatal expedition, the station at Mansfield almost completely denuded of weapons. The parties who went out to search for the bodies of the murdered men were wretchedly equipped, and, before starting, the whole township had to be searched in order to obtain arms.
The majority of the police were unacquainted with the use of the more modern description of rifle, and were, in many instances, notoriously had bushmen, and ignorant of the country in which they had to search for the outlaws. Some also were indifferent horsemen. "(RC2ndreportyV)
The Berry Government acted quickly to turn the situation around
.
Command of police in the hunt for the KellyGang and in North Eastern Victoria
After the Stringy Bark Creek murders Ass Com Nicolson was appointed to head the hunt for the KellyGang. After the Euroa robber he was replaced by Com Standish and Sup Hare. In June 1879 Ass Com Nicolson resumed command until early June 1880 when Sup Hare took charge again.
