[QUOTE="Ditherer and Son, post: 11494, member: 394"] They were captured at 'Fairfield' near Ballalaba on 27 April 1867 by a strong contingent of police as instructed by Henry Parkes. The Police were under the command of Senior Constable William Wright and used the services of a noted black-tracker 'Sir Watkin Wyne'. During a shootout Sir Watkin was wounded in the arm which was later amputated, Constable Walsh and John Clarke were also wounded, and the arrival of more troopers under Sergeant Byrne prompted the bushrangers to surrender. Eventually they were hanged at Darlinghurst Gaol and buried in Rookwood cemetery. [/QUOTE]
