INQUEST ON THE BOY JONES, AND BYRNE AND KELLY.
WANGARATTA. Wednesday.
Mr. Tone, J.P., held a magisterial inquiry at the hospital to-day on the body of John Jones and found that the boy was accidentally shot.
The inquiry on the bodies of Hart and Dan Kelly was not held. Mr. Bickerton, with Mr. Ely to act as clerk, was in readiness to start at 9 a.m. as appointed, when it turned out that the police had not provided a conveyance, and that they could not procure one in the town. After some delay Superintendent Sadleir, telegraphed to get a magistrate’s certificate authorising the burial of the bodies. This was obtained from Mr. Tone, and sent out to Greta, and the funeral proceeded.
