1934 Mr. E. J. Tomlin, Commonwealth Veterinary Officer, will leave for Wyndham on the motorship Koolinda today to supervise exports from the meat works. He will be accompanied by his wife. (reference)
1937 Body in Sea. That death was caused by drowning and that there was no evidence to show how deceased got into the water was the finding recorded by the Acting-Coroner (Mr. E. J. Tomlin, J.P.) in the Fremantle Courthouse last week at the conclusion of an inquest concerning the death of Helen Annie Stewart (52), single, boarding-house keeper, of Nairn-street, Fremantle, whose body was found floating in the sea at Fremantle, on October 9.

1946 A Victorian who is deserting his native State of Victoria to retire in W.A. is Commonwealth Veterinary Officer E. J. Tomlin, J.P., of East Fremantle. He will begin recreational leave next Thursday before retirement on July 12, his 65th birthday. Mr Tomlin qualified in veterinary science at Melbourne University, first came to W.A. in 1923 to set the grading of lambs at the W.A. Meat Export Works in South Fremantle. ...When Mr Tomlin first came to this State no pork was being exported, but in recent years hundreds of tons have been shipped away annually. Lamb export figures were expanding rapidly before the war, but declined on account of service requirements, shortage of labour and bad winters. Mr Tomlin has had varied activities, having been president of the North-East Fremantle R.S.L. for four years, member of the Crippled Children's Seaside Home Committee, and the Food for Britain appeal committee. He is fond of gardening and football, his favourite team being East Fremantle. (reference)
