Ten men Only Present Nullagine resident who has been chained in Nullagine's "gaol" and yard us Francis Stevens (73), who here shows a Daily News cameraman the 6ft. length which shackled him to his bed.Whites and natives have been chained up by the police at Nullagine in the past year. The last chaining up was a month ago. This was the story told to a Daily News representative by the residents of this near-derelict old mining town. The town has had no lock-up since a fire in February, 1952, destroyed the police station. Only nine men, six women and six children live at Nullagine. There, in a town which rivals Marble Bar for constant heat, prisoners are hand-cuffed and chained in the police yard by day, chained to their bed in a galvanised iron shanty by night. December 03, 1954.
