Mass arrest of the sympathizers
On 2/1/1879 Commissioner Standish ordered the arrest of about 20 sympathizers including Daniel Clancey and his brother James. He took that action under the Outlawry Act. Most of the sympathizers were held in Beechworth goal.
Daniel Clancey was arrested near South Wangaratta
by ...(Argus7/1/79)
(OMA7/1/79)
The men were held without ever being given a chance to defend them selves.
They were remanded in custody for periods of 7 days. Only one of the sympathizers
was effectively represented by a lawyer. The magistrates repeated the remands
each week for over 3 months before the sympathizers were finally released
See (OMA11/2/1879) (OMA13/3/79)
(OMA18/5/79)
At the start, the arrests had public support in Melbourne but that turned into general contempt for the police. The mass arrests resulted in fewer people being prepared to assist the police or to supply information about the KellyGang
