Example entry taken from the 17 June 1911 issue:
Housebreaking and stealing from the Dwellinghouse
C.I. Branch, Rockhampton - The premises of Flavelle, Roberts and Sankey, jewellers, East street, Rockhampton, were entered during the night of the 9th instant, and two safes opened by means of keys, and the following articles of jewellery (valued at about £950; identifiable) and £30 in cash stolen therefrom. The manager A.A. Radcliffe, held possession of the safe keys throughout the night in question, and the duplicate keys were held by the Bank of New South Wales, Rockhampton. Entrance to the premises was apparently effected through the front door, which was secured with a Chubb lock; this was apparently opened with a key, and the three other doors opening into the premises were opened from the inside by keys that were left hanging in the shop. As the above offence occurred during Carnival Week at Rockhampton, there was a number of Southern speilers and criminals in the town. [the rest of the article, 4 pages or so, lists all the contents missing.

A vast resource, now readily available, and fully-searchable for the first time on CD-ROM.
