Convict Notes
Special Sessions under the Insurrection Act. Henry Leader, Timothy Corkery, John Corkery, and Jeremiah Corkery, were charged with retaining arms on the 8th January, inst. at Lisheenfella, near Buttevant, and refusing to surrender them when demanded. Serjeant Jennings, and Sub-Constable Ross, of the Police, proved the demand, and subsequently the finding of one sword and bayonet, in the Dwelling-house of the Corkerry’s, who, being applied to, and told the consequence of refusing to give them up, peremptorily denied having them. It appearing on the evidence that the prisoner, Henry Leader, was only a temporary resident in the house, and that the arms might have been there without his knowledge, and Jeremiah Corkery, being only a lad of 8 or 10 years old, they were both acquitted, and the two other prisoners Timothy and John Corkery, (father and son,) were found Guilty, and after a feeling address from Mr. Blacker, were sentenced to be transported for seven years.
