No. 13

At the instance of Mr. Joseph W. Pease, M.P., for South Durham I
have the honor to request that you will furnish me with any information
you may be able to obtain as to the effects of a Police Officer named
John Curry who appears to have been accidentally killed in the year
1864.

I gather from a letter addressed on the 8th March of that year to
the mother of the deceased by the Commissioner of Police at Victoria
that her son was believed to have invested some money in mining
speculations, and that some portion of his salary was due to him at the
time of his death.
