Nevill's elder brother was hanged for Mr. Going’s murder, his younger brother transported. Limerick Chronicle, 15 Mar 1826. Daniel Neville, for, on the 26th February, 18206, at Loghill, administering an unlawful oath to Michael Hogan and others, of the import that they should be faithful to a society called the * four year olds.” Michael Hogan sworn—l live at Loghill ; I was sworn in the latter end of February, by Daniel Neville; he had a book and I kissed it; what he swore me to I got a test of, and I gave it to Mr. Vokes ; the paper now produced .is the same the prisoner gave me; I knew Neville by eye-sight, but not very long ; he swore me and said that paper would tell me what to do. Cross~examined—He swore me in a back-yard of Sheehan’s house ; I cannet tell what day it was ; I follow no trade ; I don’t know when I came to Mr. Vokes; It was about last July; I was examined on last Assizes, l and the prisoners were acquitted ; I have five in family, and only three quarters of an acre to support them ; I do not know James Danalier ; only one person was present. Mr. Vokes, C. M. P. sworn—The paper now produced is the same that I got from Michael Hogan. Patrick Griffin sworn—l know John Sheahan of of Loughill’s house, I saw prisoner swear a man named Collis, on his knees ; the prisoner had a book and a paper in his hands; I heard him say, “now you are a four year old, take care and be true to the test.” By Court—l was sworn before Collis was sworn; I was a Proctor; I never obeyed the oath ; the oath is to assist each other. Jacob Macgear, Policeman, sworn——Searched for the prisoner, at his residence near Askeaton, all last summer, and could not find him. James Danaher sworn. Hogan, the first prosecutor, was called back, and admitted he knew the witness, but said he entirely forgot him,— Guilty. His Lordship informed the prisoner, that he had been convicted under a statute that left his Lordship no no discretionary power as to the nature of the punishment he should sentence him to. If there were any persons in Court belonging to that society, for which it appeared the prisoner was enrolling members, his Lordship trusted they would be induced by the sentence, to which they were themselves subject, to withdraw from a lawless combination, under the influence of which, such barbarous outrages were committed. The statute enacted the crime of which the prisoner was convicted, a felony, Limerick Chronicle, 18 March 1826.
