'''Ned Kelly's [[1874-1877 Events|17/9/1877]]''' I was in charge of the watch house at the [[Benalla Police Station|Benalla police]] station on the Monday night when Const [[Fitzpatrick|Fitzpatrick]] brought [[Ned Kelly|Ned Kelly]] in for being drunk and disorderly. [[Whelan|Whelan]], [[Fitzpatrick|Fitzpatrick]], [[Lonigan|Lonigan]] and I then had some fun with Ned next morning as we tried to move him from the [[Benalla Police Station|police cells]] to the [[Beechworth Court|Court House]].
Ned Kelly mentioned this incident in his Cameron [[Cameron Letter|Letter]], he said:
<blockquote>'...I could not be more sorry for them, with the exception of [[Lonigan|Lonigan]] I did not begrudge him what bit of lead he got as he was the beastliest meanest man that I had any account against for him. I could not be more sorry for them, with the exception of Lonigan I did not begrudge him what bit of lead he got as he was the beastliest meanest man that I had any account against for him. [[Fitzpatrick|Fitzpatrick]], Sergeant [[Whelan|Whelan]], Constable [[Const Day|Day]] [[Benalla|King]], the Bootmaker, once tried to hand-cuff me at Benalla and when they could not Fitzpatrick tried to choke me, [[Lonigan|Lonigan]] caught me by the privates and would have killed me but was not able. Mr McInnes came up and I allowed him to put the hand-cuffs on when the police were bested.'
