MR JOHN SADLEIR

MELBOURNE, Sunday

The death occurred to-day of Mr John Sadleir, who prior to his retirement in 1896 was Inspecting-Superintendent of the Victorian Police Force. Mr Sadleir came to Victoria in 1833, and played a prominent part in the extermination of the Kelly gang at Glenrowan in July, 1880, and in the capture of the leader, Ned Kelly. Superintendent Hare, who was in charge of the force at Glenrowan, was wounded in the first rush, and Sadleir assumed command, and conducted the attack to a finish.
