Euroa Robbery 10/12/1878 Mass arrest of the sympathizers On 2/1/1879 Commissioner Standish ordered the arrest of about 20 sympathizers including myself. He took that action under section 5 of the Felony Apprehension Act. Most of the sympathizers were held in Beechworth Gaol.
I was arrested near Mansfield, by ... (Argus4/1/79) (Argus6/1/79) (OMA7/1/79)
We were held without ever being given a chance to defend them selves. We were remanded in custody for periods of 7 days. Only one of the sympathizers was represented by a lawyer. The magistrates repeated the remands each week for over 3 months before the sympathizers were finally released
At the start, the arrests had public support in Melbourne but that turned into general contempt for the police. The mass arrests resulted in fewer people being prepared to assist the police or to supply information about the KellyGang
Eventually they dropped the charges against me. (Argus20/1/79)
