correspondent from Corowa reported details of a conversation with Maslen in which the writer questioned Maslen’s sanity. The New South Wales government reward of £1000 “for the capture of the offender Morgan” was shared between 17 different people. The main recipients were John Wendlan (the man who shot the outlaw) who received £300, Alice McDonald (the housemaid who first conveyed the information about Morgan) £250, James Frazer (a volunteer who assisted soon after the shooting) £250, Donald Clarke (a volunteer stationed near the house with Wendlan) £100 and Alice Keenan (the nursemaid who informed Rutherford of Morgan's identity) £50. What remained of the reward money was evenly split between 12 other volunteers and policemen who were involved in the confrontation at ‘Peechelba’ station. In May and June 1865 notices were published, addressed to “the squatters of Riverina and Victoria”, calling for subscriptions towards a fund “for the benefit of John Wandlan (sic), who shot Morgan the bushranger”. A statement by Ewan McPherson of ‘Peechelba’ station explained that Wendlan had left the station at the recommendation of the police who were concerned of “the danger he was in of Morgan’s friends avenging his death”. Wendlan had been employed at ‘Peechelba’ for four years prior to Morgan’s shooting. During April 1865 the New South Wales government passed legislation which was designed to facilitate the capture or killing of bushrangers and to punish those who assist, harbour or provide sustenance to them. The legislation, called the Felons’ Apprehension Act, was specifically aimed at notorious bushrangers such as Daniel Morgan and Ben Hall and effectively gave the public license to shoot and kill such declared outlaws on sight without calling on them to surrender or requiring the commission of an offence. As it happened, Morgan was killed in Victoria at the time the legislation was passing through the New South Wales Parliament.Felons’ Apprehension Act, New South Wales Government Gazette, 10 May 1865 (Issue No. 89 Supplement), page 1013. However, the section of the Act dealing with those who would give shelter or sustenance to a declared outlaw had a deterrent and possibly salutary effect on Morgan’s previous associates and sympathisers (even though technically the act would not apply to them). In June 1865 Inspector Singleton from Albury stated that “about thirty persons, suspected of harbouring Morgan and other similar characters, have left their accustomed haunts and taken to honest pursuits since the Felons' Apprehension
