Wholesale poisoning of aborigines in early Australian stations
Archival letters from 1842 1843 document arsenic poisoned flour at Port Phillip and Moreton Bay stations causing deaths among aboriginal people. Reports describe the overseer and workers involved and police efforts to identify culprits, with authorities deeming evidence insufficient. The case ends with no proven homicide and a bleak note on colonial impact.

Controversial poisoning reports at Moreton Bay missions
The document recounts alleged German missionary involvement and widespread arsenic use among station workers. It cites testimonies about native deaths from poisoned food and arsenic in scab treatments, with officials unsure who sanctioned the acts. The tale includes a Sydney region incident and notes two convict men, Bill Taylor and Jace M'Grath, with a lurid background as the narrative shifts to a station near Gangat.
