Married into the Quinn family. Ned Kelly's mother [[Mrs Ellen Kelly|Ellen]], was Patrick Quinn's sister in law. A sympathizer or agent? I lived at South Hansen, seven miles beyond Greta.

'''Early years'''

==

'''Teenage years''' '''First run in with the law''' In April [[1864-1873 Events|1870]] I was charged with grievous bodily harm - and in [[Beechworth Court|Beechworth]] sentenced to 4 years.([[The Argus at KellyGang 30/8/1870|Argus30/8/70]]) ([[The Argus at KellyGang 11/11/1878 (2)|Argus11/11/78]]) ([[Royal Commission report Appendix 10|RCApp10]])

My wife Margaret was assaulted by her brother Jimmy Quinn. At that time we were living on [[Fifteen Mile Creek|Fifteen Mile Creek]]. ([[The North Eastern Ensign at KellyGang 19/4/1872|Ensign19/4/1872]])

I took up a selection of 319 acres in 1876 on Drumanure

'''Later'''

Mark Whitty told me he had lost a bay cob. I said "There is a fellow called '''Billy Cook''', who goes by the name of '''Lowry''', about here, and I have heard he has taken it, and he is up about the Murray somewhere about [[Howlong (2)|Howlong]]."

After this, there were some horses belonging to James [[Whitty|Whitty]], Robert [[Tatonga|Jeffery]], and John [[Edi|Farrell]] taken, and this man Jeffery came to me, and asked me to find out where the mare was taken he had lost. During the time this other horse was taken I saw those horses of Jeffery's and James Whitty's passing up to the waterhole with some horses of my own, so I made enquiries and found out that those horses were taken up to the Murray and that this man Cook was connected in the taking of them ([[Royal Commission report day 52 page 10|RC17691]])

I met Wild [[Wild Wright|Wright]] at a ploughing match at; [[Greta|Greta]], and he asked to buy two colts from me, and I brought them up the same night, and some other horses were taken away. ([[Royal Commission report day 52 page 10|RC17691]])

I met [[Ned Kelly|Ned Kelly]] about the time of the Fitzpatrick incident and suggested that he give himself up. ([[Royal Commission report day 52 page 10|RC17694]])

'''Mansfield Murders 26/10/1878''' Just before the murders I was prepared to do a deal with the police to save the '''KellyGang'''. I discussed this with the police and I made this public to try and save [[Ned Kellys End|Ned Kelly]] from execution. ([[The Argus at KellyGang 10/11/1880 (2)|Argus10/11/80]]) '''Escape north''' The '''KellyGang''' approached me in November and suggested that I might tell the police about the '''KellyGang''''s intention of robbing banks in Bright, Seymour, Avenel or Euroa '''Euroa Robbery 10/12/1878''' A short time before the robbery man called '''Tom Roach''' came up to my dray. He said that he had been out all night and that he had pitched a billy of water on his fire that night because Kelly had come to his camp and four more. He said he left part of his things after him. So I said I supposed he had no supper or breakfast, and he said, "No," and I invited him to come along with me and have some. ([[Royal Commission report day 52 page 11|RC17713]]) see also ([[Royal Commission report day 2 page 11|RC473]])?

Maggie [[Margaret Skillion|Skillian]] visited us soon before the robbery ([[Royal Commission report day 52 page 10|RC17705]])

[[Nicolson|Nicolson]] accused me as being the person who sent him and Sadleir off to Wodonga at the time of the Euroa robbery. He said, 'He did not keep the appointment made a week before, but he came in on the day of the Euroa bank robbery. On Monday the 9th he came in. On that occasion there was nothing about Mrs. Skillian ever mentioned. He was mysterious, and told us he could take us away up to this basin. I saw the man was deceiving me, and one of the common sense reasons before him for not going at that moment was that the horses and men were fatigued and unfit for such a journey, having just come in; he could see them in the yard, and he never mentioned to me anything about Mrs Skillian. ([[Royal Commission report day 52 page 13|RC17755]]) ([[The Complete Inner History of the KellyGang and their Pursuers (45)|JJK]])

'''Mass arrest of the sympathizers''' They said that [[Hall|Hall]] had to leave [[Greta|Greta]] after I assaulted him. I got 3 years for this ([[Royal Commission report day 14 page 10|RC3211]]) '''When??'''

'''Jerilderie Robbery 10/2/1879''' '''Later in 1879''' Becoming an agent ([[The Argus at KellyGang 10/11/1880 (2)|Argus10/11/80]]) ([[The Argus at KellyGang 11/11/1880|Argus11/11/80]])

On about [[events 1879-08/ 1879-10|28/9/1879]] I met Sup [[Sadleir|Sadleir]] near Oxley and I told him of seeing the '''KellyGang''' with Tom Lloyd the day before. The police knew me as the agent [[Police Agents|Foote]]. ([[Royal Commission second Report Part XII ( page 15)|RC2nd reportXII]]) see also ([[Royal Commission report day 3 page 6|RC742]])

'''Early in 1880''' '''Death of Aaron Sherritt 26/6/1880''' '''Glenrowan Siege 28/6/1880''' Was I there? '''After the Siege''' I prepared an affidavit to try and save [[Ned Kellys End|Ned Kelly]] from execution ([[The Argus at KellyGang 10/11/1880 (2)|Argus10/11/80]])

Const Robert [[Const Robert Graham|Graham]] reported on [[ev81-00---Royal Commission|26th April 1881]] relative to sympathizers of late '''KellyGang'''. -I beg to report for the information of the superintendent that a number of them were here at [[Greta|Greta]] yesterday, drinking, viz.: -Jack [[Jack Quinn Jnr|Quinn]], Tom [[Tom Lloyd Jnr|Lloyd]], jun, Paddy [[McAuliffe|McAuliffe]], Tom McAuliffe, John [[Jack McMonigal|McMonigal]], and [[Nolan|Nolan]]; and from their manner I am led to believe that another outbreak among them is imminent. Jack Quinn is very anxious to find out who it was that got the sympathizers arrested in 1879. They all appear to have a great dislike to Pat Quinn, and speak of him as the black tracker."([[Royal Commission report day 25 page 15|RC9870]])

I gave evidence to the Royal Commission on 20/9/1881 ([[Royal Commission report day 52 page 10|RC17688]])

See how the press reported my evidence ([[The Argus at KellyGang 21/9/1881|Argus21/9/81]])

I wanted to give evidence because I think there has been blundering about this affair from the first commencement. ([[Royal Commission report day 52 page 13|RC17763]])
