Short-Lived Bushrangers Ties to Mudgee Mail Robbery
Australian bushranging tale recounts the 1870s Mudgee mail robbery and the subsequent pursuit of notes. William Slattery’s drunken spree at Dirty Swamp led to thefts of five pound notes and a pile of £30 in notes. Dunsmore’s evidence ties the money to the crime, while Bathurst officials face public scrutiny over handling and banking practices in the wake of the stolen notes.
