We went down to Canberra to see the Masters Exhibition ... including one of Van Gogh's "Starry Night"s ... and stopped off at Collector. Here, Constable Samuel Snelson {sic} aged 37, was shot dead on the 26th January 1865 when he took on bushrangers John Dunn and Ben Hall outside this pub. Samuel was married with 8 children. John Dunn, aged 19, was hanged on the 19th March 1866 at Darlinghurst Jail in Sydney for the murder of Constable Snelson.
