Lieutenant ROSS refered to was Captain Henry ROSS

*Of the approximately 120 'diggers' detained after the rebellion, thirteen were brought to trial.
They were:

?Timothy HAYES, Chairman of the Ballarat Reform League, from Ireland

?James McFie CAMPBELL, a black man from Kingston, Jamaica

? Raffaello CARBONI was an Italian revolutionary and writer.He is the author of the ONLY eyewitness account of events.

?Jacob SORENSON, a Jew from Scotland

?John MANNING, a Ballarat Times journalist, from Ireland

?John PHELAN, a friend and business partner of Peter Lalor, from Ireland

?Thomas DIGNUM, born in Sydney

?John JOSEPH, a black American from New York City

?James BEATTIE, from Ireland

?William MOLLOY, from Ireland

?Jan VENNICK, from the Netherlands

?Michael TUOHY, from Ireland

?Henry REID, from Ireland

All were charged with treason, the U.S.Consul intervened and had 2 other Americans released, but not John Joseph, this brave black American also faced the court.The jury quickly pronounced them all NOT GUILTY, and the court erupted in loud cheers. The American from New York, John JOSEPH that night was carried triumphantly around the streets in a chair above 10,000 jubilant people.

Many consider 'Eureka' the beginning of true democracy in Australia.
