[UlsterAncestry] Tyrone Assizes Jul. 1837
27 July 1837 Tyrone Assizes Omagh The Hon. Justice TORRENS entered the Crown Court at a quarter to 10 o’clock when Francis M'LAUGHLIN was arraigned for breaking into the house of James MULLIN, of Killeen, on 10th Feb. last and for stealing yarn out of same.

(sic) Robert WORRILY sworn - Saw James KENNEDY on the day in question; saw EGAN and RUTH; saw them contending with deceased and throw him over a ditch; when witness called out that he would murdered; fetched deceased upon the road, when Tom EGAN threw a stone which hit deceased on the head and knocked him down; stone was also thrown at witness; deceased was in good health previous to this. Cross-examined by Mr. DOHERTY - Was at a funeral; deceased was standing along with witness, with his hands behind his back; deceased had a stone in his hand and threatened to strike the first man that would come forward; supposes stone a half pound weight; deceased had appearance of whiskey. John LYON corroborated the evidence given by last witness; and said, in addition, that John KENNEDY, son of deceased, came running from the field where he was ploughing and struck EGAN over deceased’s shoulder. William BAIRD M.D. - Attended an inquest on deceased; that he died from effects of a bruise on the skull, produced by some blunt instrument such as a stone; the wound was 2 inches long and the depth about ⅛ inch; believes he died from inflammation of the brain; he did not think it proper to replace the fractured part. The Judge now charged the jury and after adverting to the circumstance of young KENNEDY coming in as a mediator, he thought it strange that he should have appeared with stones in his hand and become identified with the rioters. The jury, after a short deliberation, acquitted Thomas EGAN and Samuel RUTH. The prisoners were then admonished by the judge against getting into quarrels of the like nature in future.

[UlsterAncestry] Some 1822 & 1848 News
Arrests in Armagh 29 June 1822 Our Readers in the North who have been contemplating nothing but tranquility around them, will be surprised to find by the following statements that a meeting for treasonable purposes was detected in Armagh on Tuesday last and 14 misguided men arrested on the spot. They are said to be all men of the lowest order but the precise object of their meeting is not stated. We hear that the prisoners have been transmitted to Dublin. On Tuesday last, 14 men were taken in the city of Armagh and committed to the jail of that county by Colonel BLACKER and a military guard under his command. These men, it is understood, were acting as delegates from several counties in this kingdom and concerned in some conspiracy, which they were endeavouring to organize and bring into operation, against the authority of the government and the peace of the country. We have ascertained their names and places of abode and they are as follows; Michael COFFEY, Dublin Edward CLAFFERY, Fermanagh Thomas BLAKE, do John RICE, Monaghan Peter ROURKE, Longford John KELLY, Tyrone Bernard DOUGAN, Dublin Thomas LAMB, Monaghan Peter KEILLY, Cavan John BRADLEY, Derry Henry COOGAN, Antrim Thomas HUGHES, Dublin Thos. M'GEOGAN, Antrim Thomas BYRNE, Louth Three of these men were from Dublin; 2 from Fermanagh; 2 from Monaghan; 2 from Antrim; and 1 respectively from Louth, Longford, Cavan, Derry and Tyrone. They all seemed respectable from their dress and appearance and are now confined in separate cells in the jail of Armagh. Great praise is due to Colonel BLACKER for his exertions and conduct on the occasion: in detecting the conspiracy and seizing its agents. Several papers were found about the conspirators, which of course will, when made public, throw light on this extraordinary and unlooked for occurrence. We are fully persuaded however, that the conspiracy, whatever kind it may be, is not formidable for the number and still less from the influence and respectability of its emissaries and abettors. All the respectable inhabitants of Ulster are men of loyalty and the agents of sedition are few, and of such a kind, that they will not endanger the peace of society or the safety of the State. Shocking Outrage Mon. 1 Apr. 1822 On the night of Thursday, the 14th inst. a man named Peter M'CRINK and his wife Alice, returning to their home from Newry market, stopped to get some drink at the house of Bernard DUFFEY, within a mile of this town, on the Dublin road; when they left the house 2 fellows who had also been drinking in DUFFEY'S, followed them and robbed M'CRINK of £3 19s, beating him severely.They also committed a rape on his wife, using her in the most shocking manner. We have the satisfaction of stating that they were apprehended on the 24th instant, by John TURNER and John PATTERSON constables and taken before Thomas SERVER Esq. Magistrate of the county Armagh, who committed them to Armagh Jail, to abide their trial for this barbarous and wanton outrage. Their names are George MARMION and Henry RICE, young villains of not more than 18 to 20 years of age and were natives of the place near to where the deed was committed. Transcribed by Teena from the Belfast Commercial Chronicle 5 Aug. 1848 Escape of a Convict from Armagh On Monday night last a man named John MAGUIRE effected his escape from our county prison. He had been tried at Dungannon sessions in February last and sentenced to 7 years transportation, but evaded the ends of justice by escaping from the Bridewell in that town, from which place he proceeded to Portadown where he committed a theft and was again arrested and convicted at the Spring assizes and sentenced to 18 months imprisonment. On the above night, however, he was among the patients at the hospital and having gone to the water closet, he got outside and towards an inner wall of the yard, over which he managed to pass. Up to the present he has kept clear of the authorities, who are not without hope of getting him. transcribed from the Coleraine Chronicle 31 Oct. 1855 Atrocious Outrage Brutal Conduct of the Police On Thursday night we witnessed the most diabolical and unwarrantable outrage on the part of 5 or 6 members of the constabulary that ever was perpetrated by men invested with authority. The unfortunate man who was the victim of cruel, unmanly and beastly violence was Samuel MORROW of this city. It appears that his brother, who lives in the country, had called on him in the evening and remained with him some time, conversing respecting the races and on leaving to go home, Samuel accompanied him far as Thomas street, where they went into a public-house and partook of some whiskey. What took place further, we have not been able to ascertain, but on coming out of the house was arrested by the police; he offered resistance and requested that they should not take him; his sister and other friends remonstrated with the police, assuring them that they would take him home, but remonstrance
[UlsterAncestry] County Londonderry News Jan. 1838
20 Jan. 1838 Melancholy Catastrophe On Thursday last, two lads, sons of Mr. David PATTON, of this City, (Londonderry) went on a shooting excursion in a boat down Lough Foyle to a bank called Shell Island. They were accompanied by two men named CLARKE and THOMPSON, of Culmore. About half past three o'clock, p.m. they got into the boat for the purpose of returning home, but when they had proceeded a very short distance, unfortunately the boat upset, and they were all precipitated into the water save the younger PATTON, who clung to it. On gaining their feet, for the water was shallow, they exerted themselves for a length time ineffectually to right the boat and discharge the water, until THOMPSON having observed that CLARKE was growing faint and benumbed from the intense cold, assisted him by the hand to the island and desired him to take exercise till succour should arrive. THOMPSON then returned for the elder PATTON, when he found him clasped to the boat and taking him in his arms, bore him to the island, where he expired almost immediately, CLARKE by this time was also dead. The cries of THOMPSON were heard by Major SCOTT’S men, who hastened to afford assistance but they found it impossible get their boats free from the ice, at length, a man put off in a punt and succeeded in rescuing young PATTON, who was in state of extreme exhaustion, but, through the kindness and prompt attention of Major SCOTT and his family, he regained strength. THOMPSON also gained the shore but the other two perished, the tide having risen on the bank, and their bodies were not recovered till yesterday morning. PATTON was a fine amiable youth, 17 years old and is deeply regretted all who knew him. His loss has plunged a respectable family in the most profound affliction. CLARKE has left a wife and two young children to deplore his untimely fate. Cumber Presbyterian Congregation On the 4th instant, John H. BROWNE of Cumber house, Esq. perfected to the Presbyterians of Upper Cumber, so long as they remain in connection with the Synod of Ulster, a lease for ever of their Church and 25 perches of land, at a nominal rent of one shilling per annum. This has not been the only instance of kind feeling and Christian liberality manifested to them by Mr. BROWN. In the year 1828, when they were erected into a congregation, he gave them a donation of £100, to assist in building their church and since that time has expended about £50 more in finishing a pulpit, pew for himself, Besides these acts of liberality his advice has never been withheld from them, when involved in any doubt or difficulty, thus proving that in all respects he felt deeply interested in their prosperity. As his chief object was to promote their spiritual welfare, he has now the satisfaction of seeing his benevolent intentions realised and their number more than doubled during the last 3 years. His name shall be held by them and their posterity in grateful remembrance and to him are justly due the thanks of the Synod of Ulster. Committal Salmon Poachers At Kilrea Sessions last week, Pat. M’CLAY, James BLANEY, Thomas HOUSTON and Joseph LAUGHLIN were convicted of having unlawfully killed salmon and sentenced each to pay a fine of £4 12s 21/2d. or 1 month imprisonment and at the same time, Henry NEIL and Jas. M'KENNA were convicted of assault upon the water keepers and sentenced, the first, to pay a fine of 2s. 6d., or a fortnight's imprisonment; the other, to pay a fine of £1 2s., or 1 month's imprisonment. The prosecutions were at the suit of the leasees of the Irish Society's Fishing in the Bann. The whole of the above delinquents have been transmitted to the county gaol; none of their fines having been paid. Burglary The windows in the rere of one of Mr. BRIGHAM'S houses, in Orchard lane, have been frequently broken at night, within the last 6 weeks and on one occasion an attempt was made to consume it by fire: this induced the night-watch to have a sharp look-out and Monday night one them, (Henry BROOKINS), while concealed in view of the premises, succeeded in detecting a man named DOUGHERTY, in the act of throwing stones at the house in question and promptly took him into custody. Next day he was brought to the Mayor’s office charged with the offence, where after an investigation, he was remanded by his worship till Saturday (today) when he is to be brought up for further examination. What adds to the heinousness of his crime, he had been in the employment of BRIGHAM for the last 3 years, and was treated by him with uniform kindness. Coleraine Dispensary On Monday, the 15th inst., the election for a medical superintendent to the Coleraine and Killowen Dispensary took place in succession to the late Dr. NEIL. The candidates were Dr. REID, Dr. BABINGTON, Dr. M’CALDIN and Dr. CARSON, the 2 latter gentlemen withdrew, after the subscribers to the institution assembled to enter on the election, which gave the majority of votes in favour of Dr. REID, who was declared
