'''Murders at Stringy Bark Creek in the Wombat Ranges 26/10/1878''' A few days after the murders of the police by the '''KellyGang''' in the ranges I made application to Captain Standish to give me permission to go in pursuit of them. I stated in that application that I would do my best to search for and capture them or die in the attempt, and now I can truthfully tell you that I faithfully kept my word. ([[Royal Commission report day 24 page 9|RC9374]]) '''Photograph''' '''Jerilderie Robbery 10/2/1879''' at the time of the [[Jerilderie|Jerilderie]] bank robbery we were out in [[Strathbogie Ranges|Strathbogie]], and the informant who led us to go there stated he saw Ned Kelly on a Friday night a fortnight previous. ([[Royal Commission report day 24 page 9|RC9380]]) '''Hare replaced by Nicolson 6/7/1879''' I was stationed at [[Bethanga (2)|Bethanga]]. ([[Royal Commission report day 24 page 9|RC9387]]) '''Glenrowan Siege 28/6/1880'''
'''Special train leaves Benalla to go to Beechworth - follow up on death of Aaron Sherritt'''
'''Arrival of Sup Sadleir and police from Benalla'''
I arrived at Glenrowan, where the rails were torn up at about 4.40 am from [[Wangaratta|Wangaratta]]. ([[Royal Commission report day 24 page 9|RC9393]])
On arrival we were met by [[Rawlins|Rawlins]] and he told us what had happened. A volley had been fired from the house. We ran to the house, and down to the railway station. ([[Royal Commission report day 24 page 10|RC9401]])
We were met by the reporters of the press -Mr. [[McWhirter|McWhirter]] of the [[The Age (63)|Age]], Mr. [[Allen|Allen]] of the [[Daily Telegraph|Telegraph]] came forward- They pulled out their books to note the time I arrived; and I said, "As you are going to make honorable mention of it, there is Sergeant [[Steele|Steele]], and Consts [[Const Moore|Moore]], Caussey, [[Const Patrick Walsh|Welsh]], and [[Const Montiford|Montfort]]." Mr. [[Carrington|Carrington]] put it down and took out his watch.
I went down the line towards with Sgt [[Whelan|Whelan]], over the culvet ([[Royal Commission report day 24 page 10|RC9412]])
I was armed with a double-barrelled gun and a Colt's revolver, and I knew how to use them well. The ammunition was not able to penetrate the house so I spent my time taking messages for Sadleir from about 6.30am on. I had to run to avoid the bullets as they whizzed past. ([[Royal Commission report day 24 page 10|RC9417]]) see also ([[Royal Commission report day 26 page 20|RC10424]])
'''Capture of Ned Kelly'''
It was alledged that I tried to kick [[Ned Kelly|Ned Kelly]] when we captured him ([[Royal Commission report day 27 page 17|RC10936]]) I did it in response to the cowardly murder of my friend Const [[Lonigan|Lonigan]]. ([[Royal Commission report day 27 page 18|RC10942]])
A few minutes after wards, I ran back to where Superintendent Sadleir was, on the other side of the hotel, and expressed sorrow for what I had done. ([[Royal Commission report day 26 page 16|RC10353]])
'''Release of the civilians'''
..
'''Burning of Jones's Inn'''
I was standing down near the railway fence without cover when we were providing covering fire so SConst [[Johnston|Johnston]] could set fire to the Inn ([[Royal Commission report day 19 page 50|RC7288]]).
Const [[Const Armstrong|Armstrong]] and I followed Rev [[Matthew Gibney|Gibney]] into the burning Inn and took Joe [[Joe Byrne|Byrne]]'s body outside and took his armour off his body ([[The Argus (6)|Argus29/6/1880]])([[Royal Commission report day 32 page 12|RC12256]])
'''Later'''
[[Sadleir|Sadlier]] said in his official report that I greatly assisted him at the siege ([[The Argus (45)|Argus20/7/80]])
