horse and led him back to the station. Morgan and his men “then remained carousing until two the next morning, when they departed as they came”. The police under Superintendent McLerie arrived just five minutes after the bushrangers had left. John McLean remained at ‘Round Hill’ where he died of his wound on June 22. He was buried in the Albury cemetery. Attacks against the police On June 24 Sergeant David Maginnity and Constable Charles Churchley encountered Morgan about fifteen miles east of Tumbarumba while they were returning from ‘Coppabella’ station on the old coach road. Seeing a man on a brown horse on the road ahead Maginnity had cantered forward to investigate. When the sergeant got closer Morgan “pulled his hand from his jacket and fired”. Maginnity’s horse was startled by the sound of the shot and rushed into the thick scrub beside the road. Morgan’s horse wheeled off in the opposite direction as Constable Churchley fired two shots from his revolver. Churchley claimed to have searched the “thick scrubby country” for signs of Maginnity’s whereabouts but, as his horse was “completely knocked up”, he eventually led it back to ‘Coppabella’ so he could borrow a fresh horse. Churchley revisited the scene of the encounter, but lost the tracks of Maginnity’s horse. On the road back to Tumbarumba Churchley encountered Morgan who “galloped across the road about twenty yards ahead”; the bushranger fired a shot which passed through the side of Churchley’s coat. This encounter enabled Churchley to positively identify Morgan as the assailant. Near ‘Glenroy’ station Churchley saw Morgan a third time and fired at him, though the distance was too great to have any effect.Bushranging in the 60’s and 70’s: (No. 2), Gundagai Independent, 7 April 1932, page 1. The next day Churchley and three young volunteers set off from Tumbarumba in search of Maginnity. That same morning the mailman had discovered Maginnity’s body “a little off the road” about six miles from ‘Coppabella’ station. After meeting the mailman on the road, Churchley proceeded to the location. Maginnity’s body was conveyed to Tumbarumba via ‘Glenroy’ station. A magisterial inquiry into the incident was held in the Tumbarumba court-house several days later, with the events leading to Maginnity’s death based on the evidence of Constable Churchley's single eye-witness account. Sergeant David Maginnity was about forty years of age and left a wife and four young children to mourn
