'''First run ins with the law''' I was charged with horse stealing and sentenced in [[Melbourne|Melbourne]] to 4 months in Goal on [[1854-1863 Events|15/02/1861]] for illegally using a horse
I was charged with assaulting police at [[Donnybrook|Donnybrook]] and fined £10; [[1854-1863 Events|23/8/1861]] and Jack was charged at Clunes with horse stealing on 30/08/61 but this time he was found not guilty and discharged. ([[Royal Commission report Appendix 10|RCApp10]])
[[Jimmy Quinn|Jimmy]] and I , lived on the Black Range Creek.
At the trial of [[Wild Wright|Wild Wright]] for horse stealing in October 1874 I was fined £ 1 for interferring with the case.
Det [[Ward|Ward]] said that we keep cattle, very few cattle, but a lot of horses-a stock of horses; we got round the ranges, taking all the unbranded horses that we could get, and brand them and pluck them. We were repeatedly in trouble about it.([[Royal Commission report day 14 page 7|RC3140]])
'''Mass arrest of the sympathizers''' On 2/1/1879 Commissioner [[Standish|Standish]] ordered the arrest of about 20 [[Sympathizers|sympathizers]] including Jack Quinn. He took that action under the Felony Apprehension Act. Most of the sympathizers were held in Beechworth goal.
I was arrested near [[Hedi|Hedi]] by ... ([[The Argus at KellyGang 7/1/1879 (2)|Argus7/1/79]])
I was remanded by the court in Wangaratta. ([[The Ovens and Murray Advertiser 9/1/79|OMA9/1/1879]])
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 effectively represented by a lawyer. The magistrates repeated the remands each week for over 3 months before the sympathizers were finally released See ([[The Ovens and Murray Advertiser 11/2/1879 (2)|OMA11/2/1879]])([[The Ovens and Murray Advertiser 13/3/1879|OMA13/3/79]])
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'''
'''Glenrowan Siege 28/6/1880''' Was I there at the siege?
'''After the Siege''' Const Robert [[Const Robert Graham|Graham]] reported on [[ev81-00---Royal Commission|26th April 1881]] relative to sympathizers of late '''KellyGang'''. -I beg to report for the information of the superintendent that a number of them were here in [[Greta|Greta]] yesterday, drinking, viz.: -Jack Quinn, Tom [[Tom Lloyd Jnr|Lloyd]], jun, Paddy [[McAuliffe|McAuliffe]], Tom McAuliffe, John [[Jack McMonigal|McMonigal]], and Jack [[Nolan|Nolan]]; and from their manner I am led to believe that another outbreak among them is imminent. Jack Quinn is very anxious to find out who it was that got the sympathizers arrested in 1879. They all appear to have a great dislike to Pat [[Patrick Quinn|Quinn]], and speak of him as the black tracker."([[Royal Commission report day 25 page 15|RC9870]]) '''What happened to Jack Quinn's family'''
