(see also introduction to day 43)
John Sherritt giving evidence
15195 When did you return from there?— I stopped there awhile working, and came back.
15196 How long have you been back?— I was discharged on the 19th October 1880 . I was two or three months there, and I have been in Victoria since
15197 Did you come back to Victoria in consequence of any information that you obtained that the Commission was appointed to enquire into the Kelly outrages?— No; it was too hot in South Australia, and I got a fall from my horse.

15199 Have you received letters from any officers of the police since that time?— No.

Mr. Hare — I refused to see-him.
15207 By the Commission— Have you been to Mr. Hare’s house at any time since you were discharged?— I was a few days after. I did not see Mr. Hare then.
15208 What was your object in going there?— I wanted to explain the way that I was treated. I did not know what to do.
15209 You felt you had been unfairly dealt with?— Yes, that is what it was.
15210 And you wanted to explain it was through no fault of yours you were dismissed?— Yes, that is what I wanted to tell Mr. Hare; but I did not see him.
15211 By Mr. Hare— You said you had been at Sunbury. Had I anything to do at all with your going to Sunbury?— No, nothing whatever.
