Convict Notes
Police and court reports indicate that John Kelly was also involved in the stealing of ‘seven fat cows’ belonging to a neighbouring farmer, a Mr Ryall from Moyglass. He seems to have had an accomplice, Patrick Regan, Regan got 10 years transportation for his cattle rustling efforts. Court reports also state that, "It was he (John Kelly) that gave information respecting Regan", this seems to indicate that John Kelly had given evidence against his friend & co-accused perhaps for a lighter sentence.
