Convict Notes
Londonderry Assizes Peter and Mary M'Clay were indicted for having set fire to the house of Ambrose Hughes, at Ballymacpeak, near Maghera, on 17th March last. The M‘Clays bad been dispossessed of the land which Hughes occupied, and he, for the sake of secure possession at the hands of the McClays, had granted them acknowledgment for £7, for which they obtained decree at Sessions, but his landlord had forbidden him to purchase peace from the McClays; hence he would not pay, and hence the atrocious outrage with which they were charged. It did not seem that it ever occurred to them to enforce the debt in the usual manner. Verdict, Guilty. Belfast Commercial Chronicle, 29 July 1837. The following are the sentences passed on those prisoners who were not immediately sentenced before leaving the dock.
