Hugh had a strong sense of justice and fair play, qualities which were amply demonstrated when he protected gang leader Ned Kelly from being shot by Sergeant Steele. This occurred at the time of Kelly’s arrest, when some police, enraged by Kelly’s murder of their colleagues, began to lose their self-control. When Steele seemed about to shoot the defenseless outlaw, Hugh acted immediately and threatened to shoot anyone who shot Kelly. Immediately he did this, the crisis was averted and the arrest proceeded uneventfully.” Specifications: Publisher: Self-Published Year: 2025 Format: Paperback Pages: 50pp ISBN: 9780645419047
