Gilbank. Morgan and his accomplice “then made a deliberate survey of the premises, and the result of their foray was that they rode clear off with two horses, saddle, and bridle, and other property which took their fancy, at the estimated loss to Mr. Gilbank of some £65”. Even at that stage Morgan’s fatalistic attitude was evident; during the robbery he was reported to have said: “I expect I’ll be shortly taken, so I may as well go the whole hog.” The description of Morgan given to police after the ‘Wallandool’ robbery was as follows: “35 years of age, 6 feet high, long black hair curly at the ends, bushy beard and moustache, brownish color; rather knock-kneed, nose wrinkled, but not pockmarked; had on check trousers too short for him”.

On discovering the identity of their captive Morgan returned the money and watch he had taken from him. Instead of tying Baylis to a tree the bushrangers opted to cut down a telegraph pole, cutting direct communication between Urana and Wagga Wagga. When he arrived at Urana Baylis telegraphed Wagga Wagga via Melbourne and the police there, headed by Sub-Inspector Morrow, set out and joined the Police Magistrate in Urana, after which Baylis and the policemen set off in pursuit of Morgan and his companion. On the afternoon of 21 August 1863 a Mr. Scott was travelling with sheep near Bullenbung when he was held up by two men and robbed of £4 4s.,a watch, a ring, and a new saddle. The watch and ring were afterwards returned. The robbers were identified was the same
