When the other civilians left the Inn at about 10am they told the police about me. They said that I was wounded and had been carried back into the back kitchen. I was left sitting against some bags of oats with a wound in the groin. ([[Royal Commission report day 26 page 18|RC10404]])

'''Photograph''' '''Inquest'''
A [[Courts|magisterial inquiry]] was held this day at Powell's Hotel, [[Benalla|Benalla]], into my death (Martin Sherry) (Cherry). I was 40 years of age and single. Dr [[Nicholson|Nicholson]] stated that there was a bullet wound on the left side of my stomach. The wound must have ended fatally. Under the circumstances it must have caused death.
After evidence had been given of my rescue from the burning building Sup John [[Sadleir|Sadleir]], stationed at Benalla, gave the following evidence; He was incharge of the attacking party of police on Monday morning, at Glenrowan. The firing continued at intervals both from the hotel and by the police. It was not until the captives had made their escape from the hotel that he was made aware that I was lying wounded in the back kitchen. He then endeavoured to avoid the firing into the kitchen. In firing the main building Sadleir arranged that I should be rescued before the fire could reach me. He rushed up to the kitchen and saw Dixon and others lift me out. I was alive. I died in a few minutes. ([[The Age (16)|Age1/7/80]]) ([[The Argus (25)|Argus1/7/80]]) ([[The Argus at KellyGang 21/7/80 (2)|Argus21/7/80]])
Other evidence was given by my sister '''Jane Mcauley'''([[The Argus (25)|Argus1/7/80]] ''')''', wife of '''Edmund Mcauley''', Dr John [[Nicholson|Nicholson]]([[The Argus (25)|Argus1/7/80]]), Const [[Const Hugh Bracken|Bracken]] ([[The Argus (26)|Argus1/7/80]]), '''Thomas Dixon''' ([[The Argus (26)|Argus1/7/80]]) ([[The Complete Inner History of the KellyGang and their Pursuers (80)|JJK]]), bootmaker of Benalla, Const [[Const W Phillips|Phillips]] ([[The Argus (26)|Argus1/7/80]]), Sup [[Sadleir|Sadleir]] [[The Argus (26)|(Argus1/7/80]]) ([[Melbourne Daily Telegraph (8)|MDTel1/7/80]]).
The following is the verdict:- 'That having heard the evidence given herewith touching the death of me, the deceased Martin Cherry (Sherry). And having carefully considered the same, I find his death was caused by a gunshot wound received during the time he was a prisoner of the '''KellyGang''' in Jones's Hotel, Glenrowan, on Monday last, and that no blame can be attached either to any member of the police force, or to any civilians who were firing at the '''KellyGang''' and Jones's Hotel and kitchen.

'After the inquest I was buried quietly in the Benalla Cemetery. ([[The Age (14)|Age 1/7/80]]) ([[The Argus (20)|Argus1/7/80]])
