Stock raids
Maxwell reported a government heifer had been killed by spearing. He noted that a man named ‘Jingler’ had been identified as the most likely perpetrator and pointed to the finding of cattle bones as proof that, far from this being an isolated incident, the Wiradyjuri had ‘got into the practice of eating beef’
