flour “as he did not want to leave them starving”. Morgan then rode away, commanding all at the station to remain in place till the following morning when he would return. Next morning “in accordance with his promise” he returned and “inspected them as a General of Division would”. After eating breakfast at the station Morgan departed.<ref>Morgan, the Bushranger, at Mittagong, Geelong Advertiser', 4 December 1863, page 3.</ref> In January 1864 Thomas Henty’s "Arab entire horse" was stolen in the night from ‘Round Hill’ station (east of Culcairn), a theft for which Morgan was suspected. Later the superintendent of the station, Ingram, met Daniel Morgan near Cookardinia. Morgan accused Ingram of “spreading a report” that he had stolen the Arab horse and “affected much virtuous indignation at the scandal”. Morgan then stole Ingram’s mount, after which he informed the superintendent where Henty’s Arab horse could be found.

Before departing that evening he exchanged his black mare for a grey mare belonging to Haines. A subsequent article in the Deniliquin Pastoral Times newspaper expressed disquiet at the delay in the provision of information about this incident to the police. It was thought the men involved feared retaliation by Morgan. The article concluded: “it is… clear that if this class of intimidated men is to increase largely, the capture of
