Convict Notes
Cavan Assizes. The following trials were then proceeded on Mary Reilly otherwise Catherine Rahill, Anne Woods, Mary Anne Rogers, Margaret Walls, and Mary Rahill, were indicted for the murder of Thomas Reilly by inflicting on him wounds the of April last, of which died. From the evidence in this case it appeared that the deceased, who was a pensioner, had some words with one the prisoners, who kept house, that he was pulled in and the door shut, that quarrel took place among them, in which the deceased was struck with a smoothing iron on the temple forehead. The deceased lived for a fortnight after, but it appeared from the evidence of the surgeon that the wound was the cause of his death, inflammation having ensued, which ended in suppuration in the brain.— This trial occupied considerable time and terminated in the conviction of all the prisoners, for manslaughter, except Margaret Walls, who was acquitted. These found guilty were sentenced to seven years transportation. Enniskillen Chronicle, 13 August, 1829.
