Bushranger Ben Hall is here standing in state outside the restored Forbes (NSW) railway station (now a museum and craft centre). Mind you Ben Hall never killed anyone, but was nevertheless shot dead by police acting under the <em><a class="new" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Felons_Apprehension_Act_1865&action=edit&redlink=1" title="Felons Apprehension Act 1865 (page does not exist)">Felons Apprehension Act 1865</a></em>, which allowed known bushrangers to be shot and killed rather than taken to trial. The legality of this killing remains controversial. More fascinating info may be found at <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben_Hall_">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben_Hall_</a>(bushranger).
