Armagh assizes Jul. 1834 Hello Friends A brief extract today from the Northern Whig. (Does anyone know what a 'diaper' would have been?, please, not what I think today LOL) Thur. 24 Jul. 1834 County Armagh assizes John HAMILTON indicted for stealing 3 cows from the farm of John BROWN near Richhill on the 31st May last - Guilty to be transported for life John M'MURRAY for stealing a web of linen from the bleach-green of Messrs.

SHARMAN were indicted for assaulting Patrick NUGENT on 12th July 1833, by firing at and stabbing him, so as to endanger his life, at Keady. Mr. MAYNE stated the case. It appeared that on the 12th Jul. 1833, a number of Orangemen had passed through Keady in the morning and that, on their return, some rioting took place; after all was quiet, prosecutor was standing peaceably on the street, with his hands in his pockets, when John RODGERS, the sergeant of the police at the bar, came up to him and accused him of having stones in his pocket, on which prosecutor shewed him his hands and said he had none; RODGERS said he would arrest him and that he was too long out of Bridewell; prosecutor said had done nothing and would not be arrested; ROGERS <sic> then left him, but came back with a party of police and laid hold of him; prosecutor in attempting to rescue himself, was struck by the prisoners across the head and shoulders and one of them stabbed him with a bayonet in the hip; he got off from them and ran a short distance, when ROGERS levelled his gun, took aim and fired at him and a ball passed through his hat and knocked off the plaister of a wall convenient. For this he had been tried at the sessions for riot, found guilty, and sentenced to 6 months imprisonment, which was afterwards mitigated to 3 months. He now sought redress for an aggravated assault. Patrick NUGENT, the prosecutor, with several other witnesses, deposed to the facts above stated. On their cross-examination, they admitted that riots had taken place on this day, and that stones were thrown. NUGENT’s hat was produced, which had not the appearance of a bullet having passed through it. In defence, several policemen were examined, who deposed, that the prisoner was in command of a party of rioters on this day and that he went by the name of Captain Rock. He was surrounded by his party, who were ready to assist in his rescue. After a voluminous charge from his lordship, the jury retired, and afterwards returned a verdict of not guilty.
