Belfast Newsletter, Friday, March 23, 1821, p.4 4 "Armagh Assizes "Arthur and Thomas McGuigan, and John Kane, indicted for stealing three horses from Patrick O'Neill near Glenarn, in June last year. It appeared by the evidence that the prisoners brought three horses to the house of John McShane in Newtownhamilton, the day before the fair; they put them into his field. About 22d June, Patrick O'Neill claimed one of them as his property; and McShane applied to Captain Reid, a magistrate, who arrested the prisoners. They said they had bought the horses on the road from three men they did not know, and that they gave 12l 10s for them. For the defence, two persons swore that they saw the prisoners purchase three horses from Hugh Hamill and two other men, on the road, for which they paid 12l. All the prisoners were found guilty. Arthur McGuigan and Thomas McGuigan also arrived on the "Isabella' with John Kane. _________________________________________________
