The police started out at once by horseback to a certain paddock, about two miles, I think, from the spot where the outlaw had been seen; thence by foot to the exact place. They got the man's track, and, after following it for some distance, found it was only a man collecting cows. Later they came near Mrs Byrne's home. ([[Royal Commission report day 5 page 2|RC1110]])
