About the Canterbury Police Gazette
The Canterbury Police Gazette was published from 1863 until 1877. During this time, provincial governments were responsible for policing in the colony. The gazettes contain lists of stolen items and of other crimes, warrants of arrest with descriptions of the criminals, lists of apprehensions for the month, and of discharges from the Christchurch, Timaru and Lyttelton gaols, and results from court trials. They also contain brief inquest reports and information on police appointments and promotions.

These pages were scanned to PDF, then OCRed using Adobe Acrobat Paper Capture. The original papers were old, faint and very poor
photocopies. Essentially an experiment in seeing if the results were usable.
