Judge Sir Redmond Barry died 12 days after Ned Kelly was executed.
The two men, Kelly and Barry, had been antagonists for some time, so after being sentenced to death at his trial, Ned Kelly famously replied to Sir Redmond Barry, "I will see you there, where I go" (or a version of that quote).
Ned Kelly was executed on the 11th of November 1880 and Sir Redmond Barry died on the 23rd of the same month. However Barry’s certificate did not list the cause of death as “curse”, rather it is more likely that the judge died from a combination of pneumonia, septicaemia, and from chronic un-Australianism.
