Cavan Assizes Thurs. Mar. 13 1819 this Commission was opened the Crown Court Mr. Justice MOORE
Several Prisoners were tried-and acquitted for capital offences, alleged to have been committed in the Barony Castle-Ralsen? which is the only one in this County. It is quite clear that the Judges Circuit must disagree with the Magistrates in their opinion of the necessity proclaiming this Barony. Friday Mar. 14. 1819 A man of the name of __ FURRALLY was indicted for a Burglary and Robbery in the house of the Reverend Mr. SERGEANT, in this case the Indictment was fully sustained by the evidence given of the Prosecution. The Prisoner's defence consisted in an alibi. The Jury found the Prisoner Guilty.—Since his conviction he has offered much important information on the terms being pardoned. Saturday Mar. 15- Mr. Justice MOORE was taken suddenly ill on this morning and the business in the Crown Court was adjourned to Monday. 25 Mar. 1819 At Cavan assizes, Daniel FARRELL, Terence CONWAY, and Thomas SMITH, were convicted and sentenced to be hanged and dissected, for the murder of Mr. MATHEWS, revenue officer, on the 25th February, 1815. Laurence GEOGHEGAN was also sentenced to be hanged, for the robbery of the Rev. Robt. SARGENT —two others were also capitally convicted. 27th March 1819 Barny More O’NEIL a noted linen cloth thief, who, for 25 years past, has reigned permanent bleach-green robber in this neighbourhood was convicted at Cavan Assizes for pig stealing and is to be transported. He was tried at different assizes 34 times, is very conversant in law affairs, and probably will yet arrive at the summit of his profession.
