'''Early in 1880''' I lived near Winton ([[The Argus (42)|Argus20/7/80]]) '''Photograph''' '''Glenrowan Siege 28/6/1880''' '''Special train leaves Benalla to go to Beechworth - follow up on death of Aaron Sherritt'''

'''Arrive at Glenrowan'''
I arrived at Glenrowan by train at about [[ev80-06-28Glenrowan|2.30 am]] on the morning of the siege with Sup Hare.([[The Argus (13)|Argus 29/6/1880]]) ([[The Age (2)|Age]]) ([[The Melbourne Daily Telegragh (5)|DailyTelegraph]])
I went off with Sup Hare to see Mrs [[Stanistreet|Stanistreet]]. I knew Glenrowan. Sup Hare gave me a Weberly revolver. ([[Royal Commission report day 22 page 5|RC8047]]) ([[Royal Commission report day 25 page 6|RC9674]]) ([[Royal Commission report day 30 page 1|RC11544]]) ([[The Last of the Bushrangers Chapter 11 page 1|FH]])
She told Sup Hare that the '''KellyGang''' had taken her husband off into the [[Warby Ranges|Warby Ranges]]. I told Hare that I knew the Ranges well and offered to take the police party that way. ([[Royal Commission report day 26 page 13|RC10301]])
'''Begining of the siege'''
I watched the start of the siege from the railway platform? ([[Royal Commission report day 9 page 5|RC1609]]) but see ([[Royal Commission report day 22 page 6|RC8082]]) ([[Royal Commission report day 30 page 2|RC11567]])
My position when Hare was shot ([[Royal Commission report day 30 page 2|RC11576]])
I held Sup [[Hare|Hare]]'s gun on the platform when the press bound up his hand after he had been shot by the '''KellyGang'''. Hare then asked me for the gun. I said, "Surely you are not going back, let me have the gun." Mr. Hare replied, "I am going back". Others advised him that he had better remain where he was for a short time. He took no notice, but walked off in the direction of the hotel, taking the gun with him. He was away some little time, about five minutes I should think, and returned again. ([[Royal Commission report 6/6/1881|RC10314]]) ([[Royal Commission report day 30 page 3|RC11586]]) ([[Royal Commission report day 30 page 3|RC11591]])
After [[Hare|Hare]] left the Inn SConst [[SConst John Kelly|Kelly]] asked me to get the ammunition. He found it was the wrong ammunition. It was ammunition for the breech-loading guns. I took it down to near Mrs [[Stanistreet|Stanistreet]]'s house. ([[Royal Commission report day 22 page 7|RC8117]]) See also ([[Royal Commission report day 26 page 15|RC10332]])
'''Arrival of Sup Sadleir and the police from Benalla and Wangaratta'''
I went down to where the railway line had been taken up and struck a match to worn the train with the police from Wangaratta. I told them what had happened. ([[Royal Commission report day 24 page 9|RC9396]])

'''Ned Kellys Trial /10/1880'''
I was not called to give evidence
'''Kelly Reward Board''' Following the meetings of the [[Reward|Reward Board]] in December 1880 I recieved a reward of about £137
I gave evidence before the Reward Board but wanted to change part of it. ([[Royal Commission report 15/6/1881|RC11544]])
'''Royal Commission''' I gave evidence to the Royal Commission on 15/6/1881 ([[Royal Commission report 15/6/1881|RC11544]])
What did the press have to say about my evidence ([[The Argus at KellyGang 16/6/1881|Argus16/6/81]]) ([[The Argus at KellyGang 18/6/1881|Argus18/6/81]])
The [[Royal Commission|Royal Commission]] made the following finding in relation to me
"15. The Commission desire to record their approval of the conduct of Mr CH Rawlings during the attack upon the outlaws, and consider that his services deserve some consideration at the hands of the Government.

I gave evidence to the inquiry to review the Royal Commission's decision relating to Sgt [[Steele|Steele]]. ([[The Argus at KellyGang 29/3/1882|Argus29/3/82]])
