Kelly Reward Board

Following the meetings of the Reward Board in December 1880 I recieved a reward of about £115

Later in 1881 I reported on 26th April 1881 about sympathizers of the late KellyGang. -I beg to report for the information of the superintendent that a number of them were here in Greta yesterday, drinking, viz.: -Jack Quinn, Lloyd, jun, Paddy McAuliffe, Tom McAuliffe, John McMonigal, and Jack Nolan; and from their manner I am led to believe that another outbreak among them is imminent. Jack Quinn is very anxious to find out who it was that got the sympathizers arrested in 1879. They all appear to have a great dislike to Pat Quinn, and speak of him as the black tracker."(RC9870)

I gave evidence to the inquiry to review the Royal Commission's decision relating to Sgt Steele. (Argus29/3/82)

Later Service

I was based at Greta. Insp Montfort thought I was a reasonable policeman. (RCApp1)

On 26/4/1881 I wrote to my officer- "I beg to report, for the information of the Superintendent, that a number of them were here yesterday drinking"-..:- "From their manner, I am led to believe that another outbreak among them is imminent."(RC16716)
