Latest intelligence about the Kellys says that they have lately been living in a hut at Greta, near where the Kelly sisters live, and that there is almost undoubted evidence of their movements towards our border ea route for Queensland. By this time they must be somewhat low in cash, and it is not improbable that they may again try unvaliani Jerilderie, or one o£ the many towns lying on the skirts o£ the two colonies.

He says it is beyond diubt that Ned Kelly is well supplied with newspapers and knows thoroughly well what is going on, and so has been able to keep out of the way of the black trackers, of whom he is believed to stand in wholesome dread. The Melbourne correspondent of the Hamilton Spectator says that he has lately made inquiries of a gentleman in business in one of the chief townships in the Kelly country as to the truth of the sympathy statement.
