Fifth Day Wednesday This morning their Lordships, Judges Moore and Jebb, entered the court, house, when the prisoners who were convicted were brought forward to receive sentence. Connor Connear, John Kinneen, John Mooney, and Laurence Ferrell, were sentenced to be transported for life. Horogan and John M‘Andrew are to be imprisoned twelve months and kept to hard labour. Judge Moore now placed the black cap on his head, and in a very feeling and exhorting manner, passed sentence of death Kelly, Ryan, and Ward. The day of their execution not named, but it is considered that it will take place on the 9th July next. The four wretches sentenced for transportation were placed on cart, and to the melancholy wailings of their friends and relatives, sent off to Cork, escorted by a strong party the 4th dragoons. The Pilot, 17 June 1831.
