That story, if fleshed out, would make a darned good read.

From your Wikipedia entry, which btw was fascinating:

“In 1869, the 14-year-old Ned Kelly was arrested for assaulting a Chinese pig farmer named Ah Fook.

Ah Fook claimed that he had been robbed by Ned, who stated that Ah Fook had a row with his sister Annie. Kelly spent ten days in custody before the charges were dismissed. From then on the police regarded him as a “juvenile bushranger”.”

Are they kidding? He robbed a Chinese pig farmer named AH FOOK!?

I’m wondering if that is what the pig farmer said when he was robbed;)
