Date of Death: 14 Jul 1851 District: Gipps Land MURDERED BY THE BLACKS ON THE SNOWY RIVER LTR; 51/1854 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- South Australian Register (Adelaide, SA : 1839 - 1900) Mon 21 Jul 1851 Page 3 VICTORIA.-GIPPS LAND. VICTORIA.-GIPPS LAND. From the Tasmanian papers we learn that the blacks have been committing dreadful outrages in Gipps Land. A stockman, named Moylen, in the employ of Mr. Norman McLeod, of the Snowy River, was murdered and brutally mangled. He was found with the flesh cut off his legs, the muscles of his arm cut away, his breast cut open as if the kidney-fat had been taken out, and his body stuffed with straw for the purpose of being burned. About 40 head of speared cattle were lying about the hut. A party of constables were sent in pursuit, but were stopped by a flood. The perpetrators are well known as being the Bolga Bolga tribe, living on an island 12 miles from the mouth of the Snowy River. The loss to Mr. McLeod is very severe : he has lost an invaluable servant, 800 head of cattle, and a year's provisions, at a point 250 miles from the source of supply. The arduous services of the police were rendered ineffectual by the extraordinary floods.
