Changes

The disposal of the Kelly [[Reward|reward]] fund was mentioned in the Assembly yesterday. Mr Berry intimated that the board which made the recommendations has virtually tendered its resignation and Mr Murray Smith explained that this had been done not in pique but because it was useless for gentlemen to devote themselves to work if they were to be set aside afterwards. Mr Smith added that it was almost impossible to deal with the conflicting claims made so as satisfy everybody. No action, it seems has been taken by the Government in the way of arriving at a decision. Pressure of business has compelled the Chief Secretary to set the matter aside. He proposes however on an early day to communicate with the Government of New South Wales on the subject.
