People flocked to the scene of the crime, to the coroner's court and to the criminal courts to catch a glimpse of the accused. Henry Shiell was the Sydney City Coroner from 1866 to 1889. In the course of his unusually long career he delved into the lives, loves, crimes, homes and workplaces of colonial Sydneysiders. He learnt of envies, infidelities, passions, and loyalties, and just how short, sad and violent some lives were. But his court was also, at times, instrumental in calling for new laws and regulations to make life safer. 505 0 $a Murder most foul -- Manslaughter -- This rash act -- Awful accidents -- Dreadful dangers and daily life -- Women's troubles -- Who was Mr Henry Shiell. 600 10 $a Shiell, Henry. 650 0 $a Death $z Sydney $z Sydney $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Murder $z Sydney $z Sydney $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Coroners $z Sydney $z Sydney $x History $y 19th century. 651 0 $a Sydney (N.S.W.) $x Social life and customs $y 1851-1901. 651 0 $a Sydney (N.S.W.) $x History $y 1851-1901. 650 7 $a Coroners. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00879589 650 7 $a Death. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00888613 650 7 $a Manners and customs. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01007815 650 7 $a Murder. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01029781 651 7 $a New South Wales $z Sydney. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204574 648 7 $a 1800-1901 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 655 7 $a True crime stories. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919985 655 7 $a True crime stories. $2 lcgft 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20210721014535.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=69CAF04C9FDF11EA86A3D44697128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
