The Union Bank Robbery Trial and Confession Details
The tumultuous 1868 Union Bank robbery case centers on Arthur Swete and accomplices. Testimony from exchange clerks at the Union Bank and Bank of New South Wales outlines bundles of notes, misdelivery, and planned disposal. Swete’s partner O'Connor and others are linked to the heist, with statements about night meetings, note transfer, and attempted concealing of funds. The proceedings reveal motive, social connections, and alleged conspirators as the trial approaches.
