'''Early Years''' I was born in 1828. '''Photograph''' '''Fitzpatrick Incident 15/04/1878''' Prior Ned Kelly's committal hearing my main link to this story was that I recommended [[Fitzpatrick|Fitzpatrick]] to join the police force.
I was a prosecutor in Beechworth for a time and occasionally sat as a Judge.
After a time in private practice I went back to work for the government as a prosecutor
I prosecuted Walter Lynch ([[The Argus at KellyGang 18/3/1879|Argus18/3/79]])
'''Monk Inquiry'''
I was represented the Crown during the Inquiry.See [[Wombat ranges|Monk at Wombat Ranges]].
'''Ned Kellys Trial /10/1880'''
I appeared for the prosecution at Ned Kelly's remand ([[The Argus at KellyGang 6/7/1880|Argus6/7/80]]) ([[Ovens and Murray Advertiser (12)|OMA6/7/80]])
[[Ned Kelly|Ned Kelly]]'s committal hearing started in the Beechworth court on [[1880-07---aftermath|6/8/1880]]. I appeared for the Crown as the lead prosecutor. I was required to present the witnesses to establish the charge. I had with me Mr [[Ned Kellys Trial|Gurner]]. I was seen as an efficient operator ([[The Argus at KellyGang 6/8/1880|Argus6/8/80]])([[Herald (31)|Herald6/8/80]]) ([[The Argus (49)|Argus7/8/80]]) ([[Herald at KellyGang - 8/8/1880 (2)|Herald8/8/1880]]) ([[The Argus at KellyGang 9/8/1880|Argus9/8/80]]) ([[The Argus at KellyGang 10/8/1880|Argus10/8/80]]) ([[The Argus at KellyGang 11/8/1880|Argus11/8/80]]) ([[The Argus at KellyGang 12/8/1880|Argus12/8/80]]) ([[Kilmore Free Press at KellyGang 12/8/1880 (3)|Kilmore12/8/1880]])
Kelly was charged with "willful murder of Thomas [[Lonigan|Lonigan]] at Stringybark Creek in the Northern Bailiwick of the Colony of Victoria on the 26th day of October 1878." We had establish the charge so that the magistrate Mr [[Foster|Foster]], could say that there was sufficient evidence for a jury to find Ned Kelly guilty of the charge. We needed to get details of the events at Stringy Bark Creek from Const [[McIntyre|McIntyre]]. The next witness was Stephens, the groom from Faithfulls Creek station. He was called to coroberate McIntyre's evidence by saying what Ned Kelly told him about murdering Const Lonigan. See ([[The Argus at KellyGang 11/8/1880|Argus11/8/80]])
