The Myall Creek Massacre occurred on 10 June 1838, and the first of the trials occurred on 15 November 1838. This was just over five months later. The jury gave a verdict of "not guilty", so the judge ordered the arrest of all the accused again, and a second trial was held on 26 November.

When did the Myall Creek massacre occur?
The Myall Creek massacre in Australia took place on 10 June 1838. On this day, a gang of stockmen, heavily armed, rounded up between 40 and 50 Aboriginal women, children and elderly men at Myall Creek Station, near Bingara which is not far from Inverell in New South Wales. 28 Aborigines were murdered. It was believed that the massacre was payback for the killing of several colonists in the area, yet most of those massacred were women and children.
Why did the myall the creek massacre occur?
It was never really determined why the Myall Creek massacre occurred, but it was believed the slaughter was payback for the killing of several colonists in the area. There is considerable doubt about this as most of those massacred were women and children, and at least one harmless elderly man.Evidence was uncovered pointing to an illegal society called the Association of Squatters which conspired to protect anybody's right to kill Aborigines. It seems it was a general prevailing attitude that whites had the right to kill any blacks found on their property. The odd thing is, though, that the owner of Myall creek station was an upright and decent man who had absolutely no issues with the aboriginal people at all. It was his employees who gathered other supporters for this planned kill.
