Background

Goldfields Involvement, 1854

A Ballarat Sufferer.

A preliminary meeting, under the auspices of the Reform League,was held at, Mr Harney's, on Saturday afternoon, for taking steps to get up a subscription on behalf of Mr. Jeremiah Hanafin, one of the wounded, of the 3rd December. Seyeral friends were present and, after some conversation over the matter, it was resolved to issue lists, and raise a sum of money which would bc of service to Mr. Hanafin. It is really distressing to look at this fine-looking young man, and to think that through such wicked and detestable means he is rendered almost helpless for life. He tells me he was very kindly treated by some of the Camp officials while in hospital, and that the Rev. Mr. Smith, the Catholic clergyman at Ballarat paid him every attention. It seems that there are a few generous men amongst the officials on that gold field, and therefore the innocent should not be condemned with the guilty.[1]
