View the register at the Public Record Office Victoria - this is an index only and the original register holds more detils.

The nuumbering system used by the police clerk is not sequential in places, particularly towards the end and consequently some entries have the same number.  It would be wise to take particular note of the date and search for the entry using that as the main reference.
