"MESSRS. WHYTE'S FIRST COLLISION.--William Whyte deposed that 30 natives were present, and they were all killed but two, and one of these it is reported died an hour after of his wounds. "DARLOT.--One native shot. Two natives shot near Portland Bay by the servants of the Messrs. Henty. "HUTTON AND MOUNTED POLICE.--The written report of this case states, 'that the party overtook the aborigines at the junction of the 'Campaspee;' they fired, and it is stated, that to the best of the belief of the party, five or six were killed.' In the opinion of the sub-protector a greater number were slain. "MESSRS. WINTER AND OTHERS.--On this occasion five natives were killed. "One black shot by Frances. "MUNROE AND POLICE.--Two blacks shot and others wounded. "The following from Lloyd's deposition:--'We fired on them; I have no doubt some were killed; there were between forty and fifty natives.' "BY PERSONS UNKNOWN.--A native of the Coligan tribe killed by white persons. "MESSRS. WEDGE AND OTHERS.--Three natives killed and others wounded. "Names of Taylor and Lloyd are mentioned as having shot a black at Lake Colac. "WHYTE'S SECOND COLLISION.--ALLAN'S CASE.--Two natives shot. "Taylor was overseer of a sheep station in the Western district, and was notorious for killing natives. No legal evidence could be obtained against this nefarious individual. The last transaction in which he was concerned, was of so atrocious a nature, that he thought fit to abscond, and he has not been heard of since. No legal evidence was attainable in this latter case. There is no doubt the charges preferred were true, for in the course of my inquiries on my late expedition, I found a tribe, a section of the Jarcoorts, totally extinct, and it was affirmed by the natives that Taylor had destroyed them. The tribes are rapidly diminishing. The 'Coligans,' once a numerous and powerful people, inhabiting the fertile region of Lake 'Colac,' are now reduced, all ages and sexes, under forty, and these are still on the decay. The Jarcoorts, inhabiting the country to the west of the great lake 'Carangermite,' once a very numerous and powerful people, are now reduced to under sixty. But time would fail, and I fear it would be deemed too prolix, were I to attempt to particularise in ever so small a degree, the previous state, condition, and declension of the original inhabitants of so extensive a province." Upon the same subject, His Honour the Superintendent of Port Phillip thus writes:--
