Hello All On Monday night last a man named John MAGUIRE effected his escape from our county prison, He had been tried Dungannon Sessions in February last, and sentenced to seven years transportation, but evaded the ends of Justice 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 Armagh Spring Assizes, and sentenced to 18 months imprisonment. On the above night, however, he was among the patients in hospital, and having gone to the water closet, he got outside and on 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 detecting him.
