The Victorian police are ut last using vigorous measures for the capture of the Kelly bandits. Aided and abetted as these freebooters have been, and warned of the movements of their pursuers by au organised gang of confederates aud sympathisers picketted all over the districts in which the depredations and outrages have been perpetrated, their capture has been practically a matter of impossibility in a country affording so many places of concealment. Now, however, the police are adopting those tactics which are always successfully employed in the capture of bushrangers, and which were the only effectual means of rooting out and checking brigandage in •
Greece and Italy—the cutting off their supplies and sources of information. The capture of the Kellys depends upon swift and secret dispositions of the police, so as to form a complete cordon on all lines of communication, and the gradual closing in upon the coverts.
