JOHN GRANVILLE GRENFELL 1826 1866
About half-past six on Friday evening, as the coach was about two miles from Mr. Christie’s station, Narromine, two armed men, mounted on spirited bay horses, rode out on the road from a patch of scrub, and several times ordered the coachman—Charles Stuart—to “Bail up.” The driver was at the time filling his pipe, and the reins were held by Mr. Grenfell, to whom he said—” Draw Up” these are the bushrangers.” Mr. Grenfell took no notice of the robbers’ summons, but jerked the reins in order to increase the speed of the horses. Simultaneously he drew out of his trousers’ pocket a small pistol, and deliberately taking aim, fired at the scoundrels.
