THE EFFECT OF THE KELLY RAID

The Hamilton Spectator relates that one effect of the Kelly scare is that “by Thursday’s train three bank managers, one of whom was from Portland and two from Hamilton , left for Melbourne in charge of treasure belonging to their respective banks. The management took with them about £25,000. It is not so much from fear of the Kelly gang that the banks are organising an escort system of their own, but rather from an apprehension that in the present lawless state of the colony the immunity enjoyed by the Mansfield gang will cause a bad example to be imitated by others.”
