== Links to the KellyGang ==

<blockquote>Sgt [[Steele|Steele]] led a search party hunting the '''KellyGang''' to Whorouly soon after the [[Stringy Bark Creek|Stringy Bark]] Murders in [[ev78-10--4Mansfield Murders|November 1878]]. ([[Royal Commission report day 3 page 1|RC676]])

SConst [[SConst John Kelly|Kelly]] and Const [[Const Cornelius Ryan|Ryan]] went to Whorouly soon after the Sebastopol [[Sebastopol Cavalcade|cavalcade]].They watched the Whorouly Bridge for 3 weeks. ([[Royal Commission report day 22 page 4|RC8009]])

Whorouly races on 29 [[events79-2_4Jerilderie Robbery|/3/1879]] the '''KellyGang''' a good opportunity to show off. [[Aaron Sherritt|Aaron Sherritt]] said that he had news that [[Joe Byrne|Joe Byrne]] would ride in the races. The police came in force. ([[The Last of the Bushrangers Chapter 8 page 5|FH]])

Sup [[Hare|Hare]] described what happened at the Whorouly races, &quot;We arranged that I should take three of my best riders and pluckiest men, and go to the races myself. I selected three men unknown to the public in that part of the country, viz., Senior-Constable [[Johnston|Johnson]], Constable [[Const Lawless|Lawless]], and Constable [[Const Faulkiner|Falkner]]. I told them what duty they would have to perform and the information that I had received, and directed them to ride singly, as if unknown to each other, on to the racecourse. Lawless I set up with an under-and-over table and dice, Johnson was got up as a bookmaker, and Falkner was to act the yokel and patronize the other two, the under-and-over place, and to make bets on the races. I myself drove down on to the course in a buggy and mixed among the people, and the ordinary police in uniform attended the races. I took all those precautions for the purpose of preventing anyone knowing.
