On 30/10/[[ev78-10--4Mansfield Murders|1878]] [[Parliament|Parliament]] passed the [[Felons Apprehension Act|Felons]] Apprehension Act. That turned us into outlaws.
See text of the warrant they issued ([[The True Story of the KellyGang of Bushrangers Chapter 6 page 4|CHC]])
The police now had authority to shoot us on sight. They did not need an act of Parliament to do that. We spent the day looking for a good place to cross the River Murray and we travelled further and further west. It had been raining all the way from Stringybark Creek. The punt at [[bungowannah|Bungowannah]] was under water and it could not take us any where. We then visited William [[William Baumgarten|Baumgarten]]'s family home and then spent the night in the nearby logoon in the rain. He was in goal. The River was in flood; instead of crossing we nearly drowned. The police were all around the place.

The morning of 31/10/1878 blurred into the previous day as we desperately fought to ellude capture and to just stay awake and together
Under the [[Felons Apprehension Act|Felons]] Apprehension Act the next day was the last day we had to give ourselves up. When the [[Governor of Victoria|Governor]] Sir George Fergusion Bowen signed the proclamation on 15/11/1878 we could be shot on sight and anyone who helped us put in goal. We took up residence at [[Emu Station|Emu Station]], just south from [[Kelly Home|Mother]]'s home.
Up to this time the police had only identified Ned Kelly and Dan Kelly. Some thought the the other two might be [[Greta|William King of Greta]], and [[King River|Charles Brown, of King River]]. Their names appeared on some wanted posters. ([[The True Story of the KellyGang of Bushrangers Chapter 6 page 3|CHC]])
On [[ev78-10--4Mansfield Murders|29/11/1878]] [[Nicolson|Nicolson]] sent a telegram warning that we intended to rob a bank in [[Seymour|Seymour]]. ([[Royal Commission report day 13 page 12|RC2925]])
Soon after we arrived back at Faithfull's Creek Station we had the ladies locked in the homestead and all the rest except Mr [[Macauley|McCauley]] locked in the out buildings. Ned Kelly then told Mr McCauley that he should wait for at least 3 hours before he let the people out or sort any assistance. Of course we had our friends amongst the captives.

We left in the direction of Violet Town at about 8pm. The police followed. They crossed the line and re crossed the line, and got on the road running to the Murchison road, to the Strathbogie side of Euroa. They then turned down towards Euroa. Then on to the spur that ran down from the Strathbogie range right down into the road, and the main road was a mile from it, and the paddock rail ran right into this part, leaving the face of the spur the boundary of the road. The tracks led to an open space on the right hand side, and then going towards the gate leading into a paddock alongside the railway. In the centre of the paddock these traces were lost. All this time the police were in sight of Euroa
