'''CHAPTER XXII'''
'''THE SCHEDULES'''
== Distribution of £8,000 Reward ==
After the capture of Ned Kelly and the destruction of his three mates at Glenrowan on June 28, 1880, the Victorian Government then gave some consideration to the paying of the [[Reward|reward]] of £8,000 offered in equal parts by the Victorian and New South Wales Governments for the capture or destruction of the Kelly Gang.
It was finally decided to appoint Mr C McMahon, Mr Jas MacBain, and Mr Robert Murray Smith as a Board to take evidence on the services rendered by the various claimants, and allocate the reward as they (the Board) thought fit. The Board examined only five witnesses, viz.:
The Hon Robert [[Chief Secretary|Ramsay]], MLA, late Chief Secretary; Mr Joseph Delgarno [[Melvin|Melvin]], an “Argus” reporter; Mr George Vasey [[Allen|Allen]], a reporter for the “Daily Telegraph”; Mr John [[McWhirter|McWhirter]], a reporter for the “Age”; Mr Charles C [[Rawlins|Rawlings]], a farmer near Glenrowan.

The following claims (24) for the reward were refused:—
Schedule “A.” – Anton Weekes, Richard Rule, George Stephens, Anne Sherritt, Ellen Sherritt, Senior-Constable Patrick Walsh, Constable John Coghlan,, Constable Robert Griffin, Constable Robert Bunker, Constable Thomas Walsh, ex-Constable Perkins, Constable JW Brown, Constable W Parker, Constable J Burton, Senior-Constable Shanahan, Constable Hugh Stewart, Constable Skehan, Lawrence Kirwin (police spy), BC Williams (police spy), Constable Faulkiner, Constable McIntyre, Mr Laing, SM, Wangaratta; Mr Saxe, PM, Benalla; Mr Stephen, SM, Benalla.
The last five-mentioned claimants, although refused any part of the reward by the Board, were, under Schedule “C,” recommended as worthy of special recognition for services rendered during the period of the search for the outlaws.
The Reward Board stated in its report:—”Some rewards have also been recommended for the individual service of certain claimants whose names will be found in Schedule “D”; but beyond these the Board have not thought in within their province to distinguish further between members of a force, all of whom appear to have done their duty.”
'''Schedule “D” Special Rewards'''
[[Thomas Curnow|Thomas Curnow]], schoolmaster; Senior constable Kelly; Constable Bracken; Sergeant Steele; Mr Jesse Dowsett, railway guard; and Senior constable Johnston (who set fire to Mrs Jones’ hotel, where Martin Cherry was lying mortally wounded).
It was not until the publication of the finding of the [[Royal Commission|Royal Commission]], which was subsequently appointed to inquire into the management and conduct of the police force during the search for the Kelly Gang of bushrangers, and also the best means of preventing another outbreak, that the nature of the scandal perpetrated by the Reward Board was fully realised.
