About Ned Kelly

Edward "Ned" Kelly (c. January 1855 - 11 November 1880) was Australian bushranger and outlaw who robbed banks and killed three policemen. He and his gang members are noted for wearing suits of bulletproof amour during a shootout with the police. In 1880, after trying and failing to wreck a police train and kill those onboard, he was captured and hanged at the Melbourne Gaol. One of Australia's best known historical figures, Kelly is championed by some as a folk hero and reviled by others as a bloodthirsty murderer.

It will pay Government to give those people who are suffering innocence, justice and liberty. if not I will be compelled to show some colonial stratagem which will open the eyes of not only the Victoria Police and inhabitants but also the whole British army and no doubt they will acknowledge their hounds were barking at the wrong stump.

The Queen must surely be proud of such heroic men as the Police and Irish soldiers as It takes eight or eleven of the biggest mud crushers in Melbourne to take one poor little half starved larrakin to a watch house. I have seen as many as eleven, big & ugly enough to lift Mount Macedon out of a crab hole more like the species of a baboon or Guerilla than a man.
