Robbery
Daylesford Advocate, Thursday 14th June, 1860:
25 POUND REWARD
Whereas late on Sunday night, the 10th instant, or early on the Monday morning, some person or persons unknown burglariously broke open the store ofE. Guillaume, storekeeper, Wombat Flat, Dayleford, and stole therefrom sundry articles of Drapery, Boots and Shoes, &c.
Notice is hereby given, that the above reward will be paid to any one who will give information that will lead to their apprehension and conviction,on application to
E. Guillaume, Storekeeper.
Wombat Flat, Daylesford.
Daylesford, June 13th, 1860.
Report in Daylesford Advocate, 14 June 1860:
OUTRAGES - A few days ago we recorded a robbery at Rooney’s store, and this week we have to report that the premises of mr. Guilaume [sic], onWombat Flat, were burglariously entered on Sunday night last, and property stolen to the value of 100 pounds. We very much fear that these are but acommencement of a series of outrages the commission of which is favored by dark wet nights, and the want of a lockup.
Another nuisance which is a disgrace to the township, and that is the violent and disgusting language which is permitted to assail the ears of bothmen and women when sitting even at their own firesides. During several nights of last week, and on Monday night last, the northern end ofVincent-street was disturbed by some fellows who made the air resound with their drunken and obscene yells, and who continued to do so for fully anhour.
Report of robbery in Bendigo Advertiser, Monday 2 July 1860:
ROBBERIES AT DAYLESFORD. - The Advocate mentions several daring robberies:-"The premises of Mr. Wardle, in Connell's Gully, were burglariouslyentered on Saturday morning, about two o'clock, and drapery goods to the amount of about £25 were stolen. The thieves, who by the traces they haveleft behind them, appear to belong to the same gang that entered Guillaume's store a few days ago, effected an entrance by boring through theweatherboards with a large gimlet, and then cutting the lining. They had to remove some heavy casks which impeded their way, and all this was donewithout arousing any of the inmates. An attempt was made on the premises of Mr. Westwood, of Wombat Flat, on the night of Sunday last, but thethieves after making three separate visits did not succeed in gaining an entrance. Two boards were taken out from the front, but the robbers werefoiled by the vigilance of a little dog, whose loud barking aroused the inmates." So serious was the insecurity of property, owing, it is said, tothe want of adequate police protection that a public meeting had been called to establish a "Vigilance Committee."
