| Narrative | A report in the Colonial Times said that the stock-keepers and servants of settler Captain Woods had killed several Aborigines and captured Petelega, a “chief”. When government agent G.A. Robinson visited the area in November 1831, he was informed that the servants of settler, H.M. Howells “had shot several natives. Mr Sinnott said he saw two men and one woman laying on a hill that had been shot.” |
