== Recollections of a Victorian Police Officer by Sup John Sadleir ==

[[Omeo (2)|Omeo]] formed part of Captain Slade’s district, but I doubt very much whether he ever visited the place. He had the good fortune, however, to have a sub-officer there named Reid, whose qualities fitted him exactly for hunting big game. It was some time after the murder of the gold-buyer Green in 1859, as already related, that he was placed in charge. Very soon there was a great improvement; some incorrigibles were run in or had to leave the district, while others settled down as small graziers or station hands and gave no further trouble. Reid is, I believe, still living, and could, I am sure, supply many interesting reminiscences of his life at Omeo in the sixties.
