Hi nenny,

Drunk and disorderly maybe 
Have a look at PROV under Prisoners and convicts
VPRS 515/P0 Central Register of Male Prisoners [selected volumes only]

VPRS 10867/P0 Alphabetical Index to Central Register of Male Prisoners, 1868-1947

regards
Alison

have tried to find some court and prisoner records the index is online file but you have to go to the Melbourne pro to read the records also keep in mind if making the trip that they fall into the group of records that have to be ordered to be brought from the repository so needs a bit of organisation.  You can get some paid researchers to do it for you.

Thanks both of you will most likely have to get someone to do it for me as I can't go to Victoria  (health reasons)
