Background
John William Emery was from Boston, Massachusetts, America.
Goldfields Involvement, 1854
J.W. Emery owned the building that housed the bowling alley attached to the Eureka Hotel.[1] It was very popular, but burnt down along with James Bentley's Eureka Hotel on 17 October 1854. Emery applied for 600 pounds compensation for his losses, and was awarded that amount.[2]
On 13 October 1854 Emery, Moody, Smith and Nicholls signed a letter congratulating James Bentley on his acquittal. [3]
Emery was a witness examined during the report of the Board appointed to enquire into circumstances connected with the riot at Ballarat, and the burning of James Bentley's Eureka Hotel. [4]
