take to the woods". The specific reason for
Jeffrey giving up the position of watch-house keeper is not known, but on the night it occurred, the escape was expected by the police. The Police Magistrate Mulgrave and a number of constables had "placed themselves in ambuscade to detect them in the act of breaking out". There may have been a degree of fatalism in Jeffrey's decision to abscond; on that night (as he later stated), he "was resolved for nothing but immediate death". Jeffrey had locked the other prisoners in their cells and, as he and his companions left the watch-house at about midnight to begin their escape, they "saw three men standing waiting". They drew back, intending to check the rear of the building, but suddenly a pistol shot rang out and the four convicts decided to run, jumping the lumberyard fence and escaping to "the long black hills". Jeffrey had departed with a pistol, though in their hasty departure, he had left behind a knapsack he had packed.
625:. They evidently felt secure as they rested there for about ten days, feasting on slaughtered stock from the run. On Christmas Day, they looted an unoccupied tent hut on the property and drank a bottle of rum they found inside. As the bushrangers were walking away, suddenly a shot was fired ahead of them. As they moved cautiously forward, two men armed with muskets were sighted. Jeffrey told them to drop their arms, to which they responded by demanding their identities. When Jeffrey said who he was, one of the men ran off and Jeffrey and the remaining man exchanged shots, resulting in the man receiving a thigh wound. As Jeffrey and his companions approached the wounded man, who appeared to be drunk, he began to abuse them. According to Jeffrey's later accounts, as they drew nearer Russell came up behind and shot the wounded man in the head, killing him. The murdered man was never identified in newspaper reports, described only as "Mr. Sutherland's man".

first to be led out, accompanied by Rev. Bedford. It was reported that
Jeffrey "appeared firm and composed". As his arms were pinioned, the murderer "prayed fervently, and seemed really penitent". The other prisoners were also led out and all five ascended the scaffold. Rev. Bedford addressed the crowd that "had collected in great numbers outside the gaol", saying: "The unhappy man, Jeffries, now before you, on the verge of eternity, desires me to state, that he attributes all the crimes which he has committed, and which have brought him to his present state, to the abhorrent vice of drunkenness". With the necessary preparations in place for all five men, Bedford "commenced reading certain portions of the funeral service". When he came to a particular passage "the drop fell, and this world closed upon the wretched men for ever!".

from his mother, probably because she was not walking as fast as the bushranger wished her to. Tibbs' man, Samuel
Russell, deposed: "my mistress had begged Jeffries not to take her child from her". He described how Jeffrey and Russell separated from the group, taking the child with them. Elizabeth Tibbs was crying and "said the villain is gone to murder my child". By this stage, they were at the back of Barnard's farm. After about fifteen minutes, Jeffrey and Russell arrived back without the child and Jeffrey told Mrs. Tibbs he had "sent it to Mr. Barnard's by one of his Men". However, Jeffrey had lied; either he or Russell had killed the child by swinging him by his feet and smashing his head against a tree. When this shocking murder became known, newspaper reports provided more lurid details. The

They confiscated Bakie's weapon and ammunition, tied his hands and loaded him with a knapsack. The bushrangers and their captives then resumed walking in a south-easterly direction parallel to the Tamar Valley. Later, they heard a gun being fired and were compelled to alter their course. Believing Bakie had tried to steer them towards the search parties, Jeffrey called him a "treacherous rascal". They walked on for about four miles (6 km) when
Jeffrey suddenly announced he was going to shoot the policeman. Bruce begged for Bakie's life, but Jeffrey could not be deterred. As he later recorded in his confession: "I went up and put my pistol to head and immediately shot him".

notorious for his vile blackguardism". In his retelling of the raid on Tibbs' farm, Bonwick wrote that the woman's husband was "struck senseless" by
Jeffrey and "the trembling wife", holding her baby, was made to follow him. As she was walking too slow for his liking, "the demon turned round with awful curses, snatched the baby from her breast, and dashed its brains out against a tree"; he then seized "the frantic mother" and "drove her onward at the point of the knife to his own forest den". Later on, after "this wild beast was hunted down", the mother of the murdered infant was in the crowd as Jeffrey was brought into Launceston. Screaming out "My child! my child!", she "sprang upon the man in the midst of the soldiers, and would have torn him to pieces, if not violently removed".

They bound his hands and took him towards the house, where he was ordered to call out his master. When Tibbs appeared, he was ordered to stand. Tibbs, his wife Elizabeth, their five-month-old son John, and one of Barnard's men (named Walker) were taken back into the bush by one of the bushrangers, while Jeffrey and his other companion selected articles from the house for plunder. The goods were put into a bag and knapsack and carried back into the bush by the other of Barnard's men and Tibbs' man, pushed along by the two bushrangers. When the two groups met up, they proceeded towards

Perry ran after him and knocked him to the ground with his musket, but Tibbs' hands had become loose and he managed to regain his feet and escape. Despite his wound, Tibbs was able to reach Launceston where he raised the alarm, prompting an immediate response from the residents. When the first of the rescuers reached the scene, they found Isaac Beechy, severely wounded, but no sign of Elizabeth Tibbs and her infant. Despite medical attention, the stockkeeper eventually died from his wound on 9 January 1826. Jeffrey's only recorded response to the shooting of Beechy and Tibbs was: "had not the two men been so jolly they would not have been shot at".

confession, he "challenged them to come out and the first man that handled his firelock I would blow his brains out". A corporal armed with a musket made an appearance and
Jeffrey fired into the hut and wounded a soldier named Robert Stubbs. At this, all six occupants ran from the hut, leaving their knapsacks and firearms. The bushrangers took two of the muskets and broke up the rest, as well as tea, sugar, flour, and meat and walked for about a mile into the bush to camp for the night. Taking advantage of it being a moonlit night and conscious that search parties would be about the next day, Perry took their only pot and went in search of water. In doing so, however, he became lost and was unable to find his way back to the campsite.

Jeffrey was abusive, appeared to be intoxicated, and refused to obey. Lawson then left to seek assistance. He returned with three constables and ordered them to put Jeffrey in irons. The convict overseer then drew a knife, made several thrusts at Lawson and told them "he would stab the first man that should attempt to put him in irons". Lawson succeeded in knocking the knife from Jeffrey's grasp, and he was restrained and placed in a cell. Jeffrey was later transferred to the George Town Gaol and sentenced to twelve months in the

Russell who committed the horrendous act of killing the infant, but both men were certainly culpable. It was Russell who had set in motion the series of killings by murdering Sutherland's unnamed employee on Christmas Day and, a week later, mortally wounding Isaac Beechy. Despite his crimes, very little opprobrium has been attached to Russell, probably because he himself ended up as a victim, shot in the forehead by Perry, his body butchered and his flesh consumed to sustain his former companions.

Thus alerted, the twelve men remained concealed until the bushranger was "within reach of a musket ball", at which point "one of Mr. Davies's men and one of Mr. Wedge's party rushed out". Jeffrey immediately took cover behind a tree. As the other men emerged from the hut, he asked if "any quarter" would be given; he was answered in the affirmative by Mr. Wedge's man (a convict named William Parsons), who had him covered with his firearm. Jeffrey threw down his arms (a musket and a pistol) and was captured.

Russell fell asleep and Perry, sitting close to him, took a loaded pistol from his knapsack and shot Russell in the forehead and "he expired without a groan". Perry took his knife and cut flesh from Russell's thighs. They made a fire and broiled some of the flesh and ate it, before moving on. A newspaper report after Jeffrey's capture, claiming to be based on his verbal confession, included a differing version of the events preceding Russell's murder. The account in the

Commandant of Launceston Gaol "thinks that by a very severe mode of flogging, he will repress all disorders". To this end, he had engaged "a very strong man" as flagellator. The correspondent claimed to have personally witnessed two men recently flogged, "who were cut round into the throat, under the armpits, and on the belly and ribs of the right side". Most, it was claimed, were being punished for "trifling crimes, such as being too late for muster, or absent from work". The writer added: "I am afraid this mode will drive many into the bush; for I have heard some declare that sooner than receive one hundred lashes they would do something to get hanged!".

By his later deposition, Samuel Russell "heard no conversation pass between" Jeffrey and Russell's mistress, though he did hear her crying and "fretting once during the night". At daybreak they had some breakfast and Jeffrey told Walker and Mrs. Tibbs they were to be released. He went with them to the top of a nearby hill and pointed out the direction they were to go. The remaining group continued to travel north for three hours, after which Jeffrey permitted Franklin to leave. With only one captive remaining (Samuel Russell), the group pressed on.

Russell confronted Beechy and ordered him to stand; he resisted at first but was eventually made to join the growing band of captives. After the group had travelled a further 2 miles (3 km), it was decided to separate the captives. Perry and Russell took charge of Tibbs his wife, and his child, as well as Beechy and one of Barnard's men. Before the groups separated, both Tibbs' and Beechy's hands were tied due to indications of growing resistance from both men. Jeffrey took charge of the more compliant group, made up of Franklin the bullock driver, one of Barnard's men, and Tibbs' man and went ahead of the other group.

With the help of "two little dogs", they followed the bushranger's tracks and at last came upon him, standing with his musket levelled at them. Spong also raised his gun and ordered Perry "to throw down his arms... or he might expect no quarter". With this the bushranger dropped his weapon; he was secured and taken to the homestead. Later that day, Perry was taken to Launceston where Jeffrey and Hopkins were being held.

is that Mrs. Sharman had been confined to the watch-house and Mrs. Jessop visited her there, bringing bedding and food. Sharman described Jessop as being "very tipsey" and abusive towards Jeffrey, the watch-house keeper. Jeffrey then confined Mrs. Jessop to the same cell as Mrs. Sharman, for the reason of her "using ill language towards him". Later in the night Jeffrey entered the cell in an undressed state and attempted sexual contact with Mrs. Jessop, though by both women's accounts he was rebuffed. He allowed Jessop to leave the following morning.

She gave evidence describing how the child was taken from her arms and killed by Jeffrey and Russell. Afterwards, when she asked Jeffrey to point out the place where she might find her child's body, he said, "it was no odds it had not suffered a moment's pain in leaving the world".

The following day, when Hopkins was being escorted through the streets of Launceston, Mrs. Feutril, mother of Elizabeth Tibbs and grandmother of the murdered infant, mistook one of the constables guarding the prisoner for Jeffrey, "and rushing from her house in a paroxysm of rage, stabbed him with a fork". Fortunately for both parties, the wound was slight.
