The evil example set by the successful career of .the notorious Kelly gang in Australia has borne fruit, as sereral other lawless characters hare taken to "the gentlemanly pursuit of sticking up banks and murdering policemen. The latest gang were the perpetrators of the Wantabadgery outrage, but fortunately their career was cut short by the capture of the ringleader, Moonlight, and the rest of the marauders. Since the trial and sentence of Moonlight and Eogan, strenuous efforts have been made to obtain their reprieve, but the Executive have been firm, and yesterday our telegrams inform us, that the heaviest sentence of
the law was carried out. We trust this will bare the effect of diminishing the craze for Kellyism in the sister colonies.
