(From Police Gazette, 9th January, 1878, page 11.) Missing Friend. Information is requested of John Tenpenny, who was attached to the Police Force at Hobart Town in 1853, and is stated to have come to Victoria and joined the Police Force here, but no such name appears on the records. It is possible

he may have gone to one of the other colonies. This man was inquired for by the Tasmanian police authorities in 1871. (See Police Gazette, page 141, of that year).—O. 89. 3rd January, 1878.
