Mr John Whit- bourne took a block, part of which com prised the place where the old hotel stood. It was, as somebody had correc- ted him, under the Heales administration, that Mr Whitbourne had selected, but the land had been selected before that. They might remember a man from down Maffra way who had got some of this God's country in his own name, and every time he came to the end of furrow used to raise his hat and say "God bless Richard Heales." He did not know whether their old friend expressed in his mind.

The speaker said he saw an old Omeo man looking whether he remembered all these things. HE (the speaker) knew his auditor did. Chamberlain was afterwards hung for murder, and by way of a digression he might tell them that Chamberlain and others were guilty of the murder of Con- stable Green, one of the men of Gipps- land in those early days that they all loved. He was not hung for the murder of Green, but on a side issue, though really because he was a murderer. Two days before the murder the speaker, who was driving on the Omeo road at the time, was having dinner at the Omeo Hotel, and asking the name of a man who was sitting down at the table with him he was told that it was Armstrong. Whilst dinner was in progress a smart looking fellow rode up on s black a colt and called out for Armstrong, and on in- quiring the name of this man he was told it was Chamberlain. Whilst driving home somebody came up with him at full gallop and called out to him that Grank Green had been murdered, and he (the and Chamberlain planned the murder at the Omeo hotel when the one called the other out.
