FULL ACCOUNT- OF THE AFFAIK

I A reporter of the " Sydney Morning Herald" ha? visited the sceuc of the ex ploits of the Bushranger Moonlito (Scott) aid his companions, and gives the follow ing account of the affair. He first visited Wantabadgery Station which the bush raugers iirst stuck up and imprisoned the inmates. He says :—Wantabadgery home stead, seen from the lagoon, is almost concealed in trees, and the paddock through which it is approached is studded here and there with trees and tall thistles. Looking at the place generally one is impressed with the thought that there could scarcely lie a locality more favourable for a successful attack on the part of the police if the attack were well directed, but from the failure of the Wagga police.on ihs -Sunday morniii<r,it is evident they had no idea of the serious nature of tlio expedition they were on, and neglected to take proper measures to ensure their success. Putting their horses inside the fence is the first tiling that leads to the con viction that they understood little oE the work'they had to do, for the gate near which the horses were is so constructed that it is difficult to get a horse through at the best of times, and in a hasty retreat beyond the fence enclosing the homestead it would be almost impossible to bring the horse away. Hanging up the animals inside the fence, therefore, was almost certain to result iii their falling into the hands of the bush rangers, unless those miscreants Were captured, aud there is nothing surprising in the circumstance* that when the police ro treeted itccross the sWamp the bushraugers quietly secured the horses. Doubtless the police from Wngga thought the reports of tho stickiug-up of Watubadgery station greatly exaggerated, and did not expect to be lired upon, for they approached tlio house without proper prccautious, and they ap pear to have retreated rather hastily when Moonliteand Ncsbitt walkeddowu tho pad dock aud lired at them.
