An Australian LegendEdward ‘Ned’ Ke

An Australian Legend

Edward ‘Ned’ Kelly was born in Beveridge, near Melbourne, Australia
in January, 1855. He was the eldest boy in a family of eight children. His
parents were originally from Tipperary in Ireland. When he was a schoolboy
he risked his life to save another boy who was drowning. As a reward he was
given a green silk sash with gold fringe.
69
Ned’s father died when Ned was twelve and he had to leave school to
help take care of his family. The family moved to Glenrowan in Victoria,
which today is known as Kelly Country. They were very poor and life was
hard for people in Australia at that time.
In 1871, when he was just sixteen, Ned was arrested for being in
possession of a stolen horse. He was sentenced to three years of hard labour
in prison.
Four years after his release, in 1878, Police Constable Alexander
Fitzpatrick called at the Kelly house after having a few drinks at the local
bar. Fitzpatrick said that he wanted to speak to Dan (Ned’s younger brother)
but he actually assaulted their younger sister Kate instead. The Kelly family
threw him out. Fitzpatrick told his commanding officer that Dan and Ned
had tried to murder him. Ned and Dan went into hiding but their mother
Ellen Kelly and brother-in-law Will Skillion were arrested. Judge Redmond
Barry sentenced Ellen to three years in prison and Will to six years of hard
labour. When the police eventually found Ned and Dan, they (and two
friends, Joe Byrne and Steve Hart) killed three policemen and escaped.
In early 1879 the gang needed money to pay for food, shelter and
lawyers for themselves and Ned and Dan’s mother so they robbed two banks;
first at Euroa and then at Jerilderie.
The police finally caught the Kelly Gang in June, 1880. The gang
members arrived in Glenrowan and held about 60 hostages at the Glenrowan
Inn. They wore heavy suits of armour and helmets which they believed
would protect them from the police bullets.
During the shoot-out with the police, Ned Kelly was shot twenty-eight
times in the arms and legs (which were not protected by his armour) and
was taken by the police. When they removed his armour, they found that he
was wearing the sash that he had been given as a child for saving the
drowning boy. The other Kelly Gang members died in the hotel.
Ned Kelly was sentenced to death by Judge Redmond Barry (the same
man who had unfairly sent Ned’s mother to prison). After the judge had
passed sentence, Ned told him that he would be waiting for the judge ‘on the
other side’. He was hanged on November 11th 1880. He was just twenty-five
years old. Judge Redmond Barry died 12 days later.
Since his death, Kelly has become an Australian legend, and the subject
of a many books and three feature-length films; one in 1906, one in 1970 and
most recently, one in 2003. To some, he is a folk hero, to others a common
villain, but to all he is one of the most famous characters in the history of
Australia

Легенда австралийского

Эдварда Ned 'Келли родился в Беверидж, недалеко от Мельбурна, Австралия
в январе 1855. Он был старшим мальчиком в семье из восьми детей. Его
родители были родом из Типперэри в Ирландии. Когда он был школьником ,
он рискует своей жизнью , чтобы спасти другого мальчика , который тонет. В качестве награды он был
дан зеленый шелковый пояс с золотой бахромой.
69
отец Неда умер , когда Нед было двенадцать лет , и он был вынужден покинуть школу , чтобы
помочь заботиться о своей семье. Семья переехала в Glenrowan в Виктории,
которая сегодня известна как Келли Страна. Они были очень бедны , и жизнь была
трудно для людей в Австралии в то время.
В 1871 году, когда ему было всего шестнадцать лет, Нед был арестован за то , что в
распоряжении украденной лошади. Он был приговорен к трем годам каторжных работ
в тюрьме. Через
четыре года после его освобождения, в 1878 году, констебль полиции Александр
Фицпатрик назвал в доме Келли после того , как несколько напитков в местном
баре. Фицпатрик сказал , что он хотел поговорить с Дэном (младшего брата Неда) ,
но на самом деле он напал на свою младшую сестру Кейт вместо этого. Семья Келли
бросила его. Фицпатрик сказал своему командиру , что Дэн и Нэд
пытался убить его. Нед и Дэн ушел в подполье , но их мать
Эллен Келли и брат-в-законе будет Skillion были арестованы. Судья Редмонд
Барри приговорил Эллен к трем годам лишения свободы и Воли до шести лет упорного
труда. Когда полиция в конце концов нашли Неда и Дэна, они (и двух
друзей, Джо Бирн и Стив Харт) убиты трое полицейских и скрылись.
В начале 1879 г. банда нужны были деньги , чтобы заплатить за питание, жилье и
адвокатов для себя и Неда и Дэна матери так они ограбили два банка;
. сначала в Euroa , а затем в Джерилдери
полиция , наконец , поймали банды Келли в июне 1880. банда
члены прибыли в Glenrowan и проведено около 60 заложников в Glenrowan
Inn. Они носили тяжелые доспехи и шлемы , которые , по их мнению
будет защищать их от пуль полицейских.
Во время перестрелки с полицией, Нед Келли был снят двадцать восемь
раз в руках и ногах (которые не были защищены от его доспехов) и
был взят полицией. Когда они сняли свои доспехи, они обнаружили , что он
был одет в створку , что он был дан , как ребенок за спасение
утопающего мальчика. Другие члены банды Келли умер в отеле.
Нед Келли был приговорен к смерти судьи Редмонд Барри (тот же самый
человек , который был несправедливо отправил мать Неда в тюрьму). После того , как судья
вынес приговор, Нед сказал ему , что он будет ждать судьи "на
другой стороне". Он был повешен на 11 ноября 1880. Он был всего двадцать пять
лет. Судья Редмонд Барри умер спустя 12 дней.
После его смерти, Келли стала австралийской легендой, и предметом
немалого количества книг и трех фильмов полнометражных; один в 1906 году, один в 1970 году и
совсем недавно, один в 2003 году некоторым данным , он является народным героем, к другим общим
злодеем, но все , что он является одним из самых известных персонажей в истории
