During the forenoon the body of-Byrne was brought out of the lock-up where it lay, and slung up in an erect position on the outside of the door, the object being to have it photographed by Mr Burman, of Melbourne. The features were composed in a natural way, and were easily recognised. The face was small, with retreating forehead, blue eyes, the upper lip covered with a downy moustache, and a bushy beard covering his chin, whilst his hair had been recently cut. His figure is that of a tall, lythe young fellow. The bands are clenched and covered with blood, whilst blood also covered his olothes. The police soon had the body removed from public gaze. The officers, policemen, trackers, and gentlemen who were at the Barracks, and who were present at the encounter, were also photographed in a group. BTJBIAL OF DAN KELLY AND HABT.
