The Argus at KellyGang 26/4/1881
The Chief Secretary has received several protests, in addition to that of Mr Curnow, against the finding of the Kelly Reward Board. It is not the intention of Mr Berry to act upon the report of the board until he has had further time for consideration
The Kelly Reward Distribution Board met yesterday to consider the special cases which have been referred to it. Mrs Jones, the landlady of the Glenrowan Hotel, claims compensation for the destruction of her house. The relatives of Reardon and of Martin Cherry, who were ahot in the attack, have put in claims, and so has one of Sherritts connexions. A Mr Cook alleges that he left his box, containing heir looms, at the Glenrowan Hotel, and be asks for compensation. Mr Wilson, a police agent and Mr Rawlins, who assisted as a volunteer at Glenrowan, aver that, under the pressure of terrorism they have been compelled to leave the district, and Mr Monks, of the saw mills, restates his case.The proceedings are likely to occupy some time.
