Cobbett's Complete Collection of State Trials and Proceedings See pages 145 and 124, (Book available free online) -------------------------------------------------- Page 145. Friday 4th December 1806 Patrick Flynn was indicted for perjury committed by him upon the trial of Patrick Rategan and Dominick Connor, and being convicted, was called up for judgement. Mr Baron George. - Patrick Flynn, you appear to be one of those wicked men, who go about at night, attacking the habitations of peaceable men; - you were taken in the fact of being riotously assembled with many others, at night, and from a motive of lenity and mercy, you were received to give evidence against your fellow conspirators. But it now appears, that their false and illegal oath has more obligation upon you, than the oath you took in the presence of God and your country – the latter has been disregarded for the purpose of saving your associates from punishment. If they had been convicted, they would have been subject to whipping and imprisonment. But see, how you have disappointed and deceived yourself – you are now exposed to punishment and shame – you shall be put in the pillory, as an example of scorn and indignation – and afterwards, you shall be transported for seven years as unworthy any longer to tread upon Irish ground. -------------------------------------------------- Patrick Flynn was tried at Mayo at the Commison to try people involved in the Thresher disturbances.
