The Division of Law of Macquarie University has created a website on “Decisions of the Superior Courts of New South Wales, 1788-1899.” The web address is: http://www.law.mq.edu.au/scnsw/
The site does not list every criminal case, but it does have information on a substantial number of cases involving violent felonies, including manslaughter, murder, rape, sexual assault on a child, etc.
