The outlaw who was dogged by bad luck
In Smiths Weekly a tale by The Man in the Mask recounts Peter Quigley, a bushranger in 1836 Ireland and Australia, facing superstition, brutal pursuit, and a failed first raid. A kind Yorkshirie man Mr Chapman aids him briefly, but Quigley’s fate turns when a settler near Clarence Town and a dog thwart his bungled ambush, ending his singlehanded venture.

Bushranger Quigley’s Flight From Harpers Hill Prison
In a Maitland court Quigley was sentenced to twelve months for bushranging after a brutal fight with Ashford. Castigated for prior offences, he plotted escape from Harper’s Hill while imagining voices taunting him. He fled north toward the Hunter Valley, raiding huts and travelers, but met defeat and cautious revenge as captures and losses mounted.
