The Attorney General said it should be understood by the prisoners, that in these cases there would be no compromise of justice....John Costelloe, Maurice Molony, Patrick Hickey, Patrick Maguire, Thomas Curry, Patrick O'Brien, Peter Murphy, Thomas Qualy and Patrick Collins, were indicted for assaulting and demolishing the habitation of Charles Williams at Lisdeen, and administering to him an unlawful oath. - Verdict Guilty - The witness exclaimed twice or thrice during the trial, that he was so persecuted on account off Mr. O'Connell, during the last election, as the prisoners were tenants of O'Gorman Mahon, and himself being a Kerry man. The Attorney General prayed the immediate sentence of the court in those cases, and those of the day before. Judge Moore then passed sentence of transportation for life upon the prisoners 17 in all. They were removed from the dock forthwith, placed upon cars, and, guarded by a strong detachment of the Carbabiners and 76th Regiment, forwarded on their destination, followed by the cries of thousands of people in the streets.
