My brothers William and Patrick and I were some of the prisoners in the Inn. We had been coursing there before.(Age29/6/80)
I may have been at the begining of the Glenrowan siege with the KellyGang from late in the evening of Saturday 26 June 1880,
I lived at Greta
Thomas Curnow told the Royal Commission
"After some further conversation, we all listened to what Ned Kelly was saying to Delaney. The outlaw was accusing Delaney of having some short time previous ridden a horse from near Greta into Wangaratta to oblige a policeman, and of having sought admission into the police force. He threatened to shoot Delaney for this, and pointed a revolver at him several times"
"After keeping Delaney in a state of extreme terror for about half an hour the outlaw made him promise never again to seek admission into the police force, and finally said, 'I forgive you this time; but mind you be careful for the future.'" See (RC17597)
Later
My wife and I gave evidence against Mrs Jones on a charge of harbouring the KellyGang.
