Convict Notes
Thomas Power and Patrick Daniel were indicted for a highway robbery upon Pierse Power, on 19 of January, at Kill, near Bonamahon; and in a second count they were indicted tor assaulting him in a manner to endanger his life; and in a third, with doing him grievous bodily harm. Pierse Power, the prosecutor, a comfortable … farmer, was assisted up on the table; his head bound up with a handkerchief, and, on his examination by Mr. Scott, K.C., it was with the utmost difficulty he was to hear the several questions to him, in consequence of the dreadful and ... treatment he received on the night he was attacked. On being sworn he stated that he was, on the 19 January last, returning from a funeral from Bathon, when he stopped at John Hayes’s public house at Kill, where he drank some beer, He left the house about nine o’clock at night and was proceeding towards home, when, before he rode a quarter mile, he he observed three men coming towards him, soon as they came up to him, one of them struck blow and knocked him off his horse. They unloosed his suspenders and tied him to the bridle the horse, after which they took from the side of road a large stone and dashed it on his body which several of his ribs were broken. One of three then put his hand. in pocket, and three shillings and six pence out of it. He lay dead, but when he felt the man’s hand in his pocket. he opened his eyes and distinctly saw. the person did so, -Another of the three fellows then struck with which battered his face in in a dreadful manner, and broke several of his teeth. [He … several of his teeth, wrapped up in a piece of paper which were found next morning. on the spot where he was beaten.] _ He identified the prisoner as man who put his hand in his pocket and Daniel as the person who knocked. him off the horse. He knew them well before, and had seen them in a public house, in the act of whispering, a short before he had left it; the third man he had no knowledge of. One of them lifted up his legs whilst on the road, and let them fall, saying at the time, ‘Come away, boys, he’s done for.” … ... Waterford Mail, 14 March 1832.
