In the Name of the Law Author: Amanda Nettelbeck

ISBN: 9781862547483 Format: Paperback Number Of Pages: 240 Published: 15 June 2007 Country of Publication: AU Dimensions (cm): 23.0 x 15.0 x 2.000 Description: Mounted Constable William Willshire commanded a corps of Native Police in Central Australia during the 1880s. Notorious for the violence of his patrols, he was eventually tried in 1891 for the murder of two Aboriginal men, and was posted to an even more remote frontier in the Top End. During his time in the Territory, Willshire wrote of his experiences in several extraordinary memoirs. Part murder mystery and part courtroom drama, his story illuminates unfolding issues of race and nationalism in colonial Australia on the eve of Federation.
