I've mentioned 'Outrage Reports' in my post on indexes and this first example is 'specially with Norm in mind (I don't have your email address) I gave the A and B listings from the 1832 Military Index in my last post - the following are transcriptions of actual documents or letters/reports from the 1836 Outrage Reports - Outrage reports are police reports writtn to the Inspector General for a county in relation to occurrances for which there was some police involvement by (usually) the Chief inspector of the area or his next in command. I've found the reports interesting since I first discovered them - I haven't gone through the indexes as I did with the Military Index, simply requested the information on two counties so far and looked at them. As with the Military Index, I don't think that these have been filmed by the LDS - maybe someone else will know and tell me - please? I'm only sending a few as there are so many and again, I have not gone back through any of these to check on placenames or spellings today compared to the past, or even where I may have made some error in my transcription. That has yet to be done. Jane Burglary and ??
