John Dunn was an Australian bushranger. He was born at Murrumburrah near Yass, New South Wales. Dunn joined the Hall gang in October 1864, a welcomed new member after police captured gang members Dunleavy and Mount. On 26 January 1865, Hall, Gilbert and Dunn were at Collector, where Dunn twice shot and killed the local police officer, Constable Samuel Nelson, the sole policeman in the township. After Hall and Gilbert were killed, Dunn went into hiding. On 18 December, Dunn was betrayed by those he trusted and after a fight with police was wounded and captured near Coonamble. He was 19 years old when he was hanged in Darlinghurst Gaol. (Credit. The Legend of Ben Hall, Website)
