Editor's note:'Bindjareb Aborigines in Pinjarra, WA, had attacked settlers, stolen flour and killed a soldier who was helping Mandurah landowner Thomas Peel find a missing horse. On 28 October 1834, Governer James Stirling led an assault on the Bindjareb to punish the raiders and secure Mandurah for the settlers. Bindjareb accounts of the killings that followed counted many more Aboriginal dead than the Perth Gazette.
