Under this Act on November 4, the Chief Justice, on application from the Solicitor General, issued his warrant and granted an order calling upon the gang severally to surrender on or before November 12, to take their trial for murder. There upon the necessary notices and proclamations were published in the ‘Government Gazette’ and various other papers of Melbourne and the North Eastern District, of which proclamations the following may be interesting as an example:-

To a MAN whose name is unknown, but whose person is described as follows: Nineteen or twenty years of age, five feet eight inches high, rather stout, complexion somewhat fair, no beard or whiskers, a few straggling hairs over face, rather hooked nose, sinister expression, supposed to be identical with William King, of Greta, in the said colony.

Whereas on the fourth day of November, one thousand eight hundred and seventy eight, a bench warrant was issued in pursuance of the FELONS APPREHENSION ACT, 1878, under my hand and seal, in order to your answering and taking your trial for that on the twenty sixth day of October, one thousand eight hundred and seventy eight, at Stringy Bark Creek, near Mansfield, in the Northern Bailiwick of the said colony, you did in company with one Edward Kelly and one Daniel Kelly and another man whose name is unknown feloniously and of malice aforethought kill and murder one Michael Scanlon.

And whereas in pursuance of THE FELONS AND APPREHENSION ACT, 1878, I did on the fourth day of November, one thousand eight hundred and seventy eight, order a summons to be inserted in the ‘Government Gazette’ requiring you, the said man whose name is unknown, but whose person is described as aforesaid, to surrender yourself on or before the twelfth day of November, one thousand eight hundred and seventy eight, at Mansfield in the said colony of Victoria, to abide your trial for the before mentioned crime, of which you the said man, whose name is unknown, but whose person is described as foresaid, stand accused.

These are therefore to will and require you, the said man whose name is unknown, but whose person is described as foresaid, to surrender yourself on or before the twelfth day of November, one thousand eight hundred and seventy eight, at Mansfield, in the said colony of Victoria, to abide your trial for the above mentioned crime of which you stand accused, and hereof you are not to fail at your peril.

Given under my hand an seal, at Melbourne, this fourth day of November, in the year of our Lord, one thousand eight hundred and seventy eight,

WILLIAM F STAWELL

Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the Colony of Victoria
