Convict Notes
Galway Special Commission. Second Day. Connor Kinnear, was indicted, that he, along with others on the 4th of April last broke open the house of Marble-hill, and took away fire arms, the property of Sir J. Burke, Bart., M. P. John Doogan, examined by the Attorney-General—ls in the service of Sir John Burke ; remembered the 4th of April last; his master was not at home; about two o’clock 3 400 persons came to the house with spades, scythes, pitchforks, bayonets and guns, they commenced breaking open the house;, witness looked out and begged of them to desist : they called out to open the door, and unless he did they would shoot him ; witness went down and found a person in the drawingroom ; he opened the door; they broke book-case in the hall, and took out a gun-case; they broke open the book-case with spades; they took away a double barrel gun, and two pistols, and some ammunition ; he was so frightened he did not think he could recognize them ; he saw the prisoner, but he did injury, he was standing on the stairs, and witness saw him before. Cross examined by Mr Blakeney—Does not think that Counsel ought to be defending himself in place of the prisoner at the bar: he was not lately at Dublin Castle; never heard of being to be made Ensign or Chief Constable ; he heard them cry out high for M'Hugo ;”heard them fire shots; thinks they took him for a friend; he was afraid of the party, and did not wish to make enemies ; he did not follow them through terror ; when he rode after them he could ride to Gort or other places ;if he did so he might have the military out; he was refused police before that time; he knows Eyre Silk and James Corcoran, but never told them that he expected situation; he only said he would prosecute them if he was protected by Government ; the Terries forced three of the workmen away in bis presence; he was not Dublin Castle, but he understood his brother-in-law, Mr. Pilkington, was there for the purpose of applying for pardon for the tenantry, provided they gave up their arms. After temperate charge from Judge Moore, the Jury retired for some time and found the prisoner guilty. Mayo Constitution, 16 June 1831.
Fifth Day Wednesday This morning their Lordships, Judges Moore and Jebb, entered the court, house, when the prisoners who were convicted were brought forward to receive sentence. Connor Connear, John Kinneen, John Mooney, and Laurence Ferrell, were sentenced to be transported for life. Horogan and John M‘Andrew are to be imprisoned twelve months and kept to hard labour. Judge Moore now placed the black cap on his head, and in a very feeling and exhorting manner, passed sentence of death Kelly, Ryan, and Ward. The day of their execution not named, but it is considered that it will take place on the 9th July next. The four wretches sentenced for transportation were placed on cart, and to the melancholy wailings of their friends and relatives, sent off to Cork, escorted by a strong party the 4th dragoons.
