Background
Goldfields Involvement, 1854
Llewellyn Rowlands was an innocent victim who was brutally murdered. He was talking to Benjamin Welch when he saw some troopers and prisoners near the Catholic Chapel. On going to have a closer look, he was ordered to surrender by the trooper. He refused, and "the man deliberately got off his horse and shot him through the heart". This was estimated to be "very nearly a quarter of a mile" away from the Eureka Stockade.
