Ned [[Ned Kelly|Kelly]] driving [[Casement, Henry Dudley, Tennant & McDougall|Casement]]'s spring cart and Dan [[Dan Kelly|Kelly]] driving [[James Gloster|Gloster]]'s hawker's wagon with Steve Hart on horse back left Faithfull's Creek Station for Euroa on the afternoon of 11/12/1878. They were on their way to rob the [[National Bank|National Bank]], (it was located at the corner of Binney and Railway Sts). There they cleared out all the money in the bank and made prisoners of 12 people without any one else in the town being aware of what had happened.

The bank was closed at the usual business hour of 3 pm and at a quarter to 4 pm the 2 clerks, Messers '''Booth''' and Edward '''Bradley''', were engaged in balancing their books, while Mr [[Scott|Scott]], the manager, was in his room close by. A knock was heard at the door, and Mr Booth asked Mr Bradley, who was nearest the door, to open it and see who it was. On the door being opened a bushman presented a cheque of Mr McClauley's for 4 pounds saying he wanted it cashed. The door was normally left unlocked so that the station master could bank his money after the 3.30 train. The bushman was told that it was too late, and he then asked to see Mr [[Scott|Scott]], the manager. Mr Bradley said it was too late for that day, as all the cash was locked up. Up to this time the door had only been partially opened, but the man then pushed his way in saying, 'I am Ned [[Ned Kelly|Kelly]].' He was immediately followed by another of the '''KellyGang''' and both drew their revolvers and forced the clerks to go into the manager's room, which was just behind the banking chamber. As soon as they got in Ned Kelly ordered Mr Scott to go and tell the females in the house what visitors they had. It should be said that in addition to Mr Scott and the 2 clerks, there were also in the house Mrs Scott, her 5 children, Mrs Scott's mother, and 2 female servants.
