'''Mass arrest of the sympathizers''' '''Photograph''' On 2/1/[[events79-2_4Jerilderie Robbery|1879]] Commissioner [[Standish|Standish]] ordered the arrest of about 20 [[Sympathizers|sympathizers]] including myself and my brother [[Walter Stewart|Walter]]. He took that action under the Outlawry Act. The sympathizers were held in Beechworth goal.
I was arrested near Browns Plains by ... ([[The Argus at KellyGang 11/1/1879|Argus11/1/79]])
The men were held without ever being given a chance to defend them selves. They were remanded in custody for periods of 7 days. Only one of the sympathizers was represented by a lawyer. The magistrates repeated the remands each week. I was released on 18/1/1879. Most of the others were held for over 3 months before they were finally released.
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'''
Eventually they dropped the charges against me. Mr F Brown represented me. ([[The Argus at KellyGang 20/1/1879|Argus20/1/79]])
