Australian bushranger Ben Hall was ambushed and shot by eight police at dawn on 5 May 1865. He was buried in the NSW town of Forbes. One oral legend states that his once-faithful aboriginal companion (now turned black tracker) shot and killed him after he was injured as he did not want to be taken to gaol.
