Thomas Kenny, John Higgins, John Hill, and Michael Riley, for several outrages and robberies in the woods, and firing on the King's troops. The whole of these unhappy men, from the time of receiving their sentence, seemed to have been perfectly resigned to their fate ; and every step which brought them nearer to death, appeared to give them additional comfort. From the time of leaving the county jail at nine o'clock, till the moment they were launched into eternity, they all invariably evinced the strongest sense of their situation, and, by their prayers and sincere repentance, endeavoured to seek pardon of their offended Maker. Of their crimes they spoke but little; but generally acknowledged the justice of their sentences, and often turned their discourse to the surrounding spectators, hoping that their fate would be a warning, to others. They were attended with all possible zeal and humanity by the Rev. R. Knopwood and the Rev. P. Conolly.
