Convict Notes
WHITEBOY OFFENCES. Patrick Egan, Patrick Mulrooney, and Martin Hickey, were indicted for having feloniously stolen gun, the property of Pat White; also for making affray, to the terror of her Majesty’s peaceably disposed subjects. There were several witnesses examined to sustain this prosecution. From their testimony it appeared that on the night the 11th of January last, a party of persons, armed with pistols, went to the house of Patrick White, near in this county; and gaining admittance, they immediately searched for gun which was placed over the door of an inside room. White, who had gone that day to the market, a distance of four miles from from his residence. The party had some difficulty in finding it; but when they had succeeded there was dispute among themselves to its possession, and one them, the prisoner Egan, fired a shot over the heads of the children, who consequence were much frightened. The others, Mulroonev and Hickey, rebuked him for doing so and when they went outside, a second shot was fired. Immediately after the outrage the owner of the gun, Mr. White, returned from Loughrea, and was met in the street by his children crying for protection. Information was given the same night of the offenders. The principal witnesses as to the identity of the prisoners were a servant man named Murphy, and woman named Margaret Staunton. Counsel for the prisoners, at their cross-examination wanted to show that these persons had not come forward to give evidence until after the offer a reward, the obtaining of which was the motive that induced them to do so. O’Fallon and Blakeney addressed the jury on behalf the prisoners, and called several gentlemen who deposed to the excellence of their character for honesty, sobriety, correctness, and peaceable habits. Baron Richards told the jury that their verdict should founded on the degree of credit they gave to the testimony of Murphy and Margaret Staunton. Verdict—Guilty. Galway Vindicator, 23 March 1842.
