A historical account details the Jwihoy Gang led by Jed Edward Davis terrorizing settlers along the Hunter River and Brisbane River districts. The gang, active from late 1840 into 1841, included John She, Robert Cluty, John Marshall, James Bryant, James Hyerott, and Granville, mounted and armed, committing brutal murders and raids. After a government crackdown, several members were captured. six were arrested and Granville remained at large before a major pursuit led by Edward Denny Day. The narrative also covers the execution of several gang members in Sydney on March 16 and 24, 1848, and notes Day’s role as a celebrated pursuer from Kerry, Ireland.
