'''Early Years''' In 1877 I accused [[Ned Kelly|Ned Kelly]] of [[Horse and Cattle stealing|stealing]] a bull which he gave to [[Lydeker|Lydicker]]. Later Ned was accused of stealing a mob of calves that belonged to me and my son in law [[Farrell|Farrell]]. Please see the [[Cameron Letter|Cameron letter]] for Ned's version of this incident. I had been attacked by organised gangs of thefts and I was convinced that Ned Kelly was behind these things. See also the [[Jerilderie Letter (2)|Jerilderie Letter]]
Later in October of [[1874-1877 Events|1877]] a number of horses of mine were found in [[Howlong|Howlong]]. William [[William Cooke|Cooke]] was charged with stealing and his friends [[William Baumgarten|William]] and [[Gustav Baumgarten|Gustav]] Baumgarten, Thomas [[John Studders|Studders]], and Samuel [[Samuel Kennedy|Kennedy]] being involved in large scale trading in stolen horses and cattle. Another person was also named, Thompson. They could never find him but I think he was [[Ned Kelly|Ned Kelly]] ([[The Argus at KellyGang 8/8/1880|Argus10/8/80]])
I had a run in with the Albury racing club. ([[The Argus at KellyGang 27/1/1879 (5)|Argus27/1/79]])
'''Mark Whitty''' lost a bay cob. Patrick [[Patrick Quinn|Quinn]] said he had seen it at the bottom of Fitzsimmons and Hughes's paddock. ([[Royal Commission report day 52 page 10|RC17691]])
My station lost £500 worth of horseflesh in a single year. ([[Cookson, 23_09_1911_1|BWC]])
