- Lawrence Cummins (1843 – 1909), known informally as Larry Cummins, was a bushranger who operated primarily in the districts surrounding the Abercrombie River (in the central west of New South Wales between Bathurst and Goulburn). In July 1863 he participated in the Mudgee mail robbery led by Fred Lowry and John Foley. Soon afterwards Cummins and his younger brother John carried out several robberies. They were identified and John Cummins was apprehended; he was accidentally shot and killed while being escorted by police constables (probably by Larry Cummins in an abortive attempt to free his brother). Three weeks later Cummins was captured with his associate Lowry, in an encounter with the police which resulted in Lowry’s death. Cummins was sent to Berrima Gaol in late 1863, from where he escaped in November 1866 with another prisoner. From December 1866 to April 1867 Cummins carried out a series of audacious robberies. In April, during an attempted robbery of Webb's store on the Fish River in company with John Foran, he received a wound in the face from birdshot. He was captured soon afterwards and sentenced to thirty years hard labour and sent back to Berrima Gaol. Cummins was released from prison in January 1876 after his sentence was controversially reduced by the Robertson government (with the official sanction of the colonial Governor). After his release Cummins left the colony and lived in Victoria using the name 'James Long', where he married and had a family. Lawrence Cummins (as James Long) died at Wodonga in October 1909. (en)
