manslaughter.

Galway, Thursday, February 3, 1825

MURDER
      On Tuesday, the 11th instant, J. M'Cormick, of Monycannon, parish of
Donagheady, and county Tryrone, was barbarously murdered by two of his
neighbours, Patt and James Lynch, in the face of day, and in the presence of
his son, Thos. M'Cormick; who, in making an unavailing effort to save his
aged parent, was near sharing the same fate; indeed, he would have been
their victim, had he not sought safety in flight, from the consequences of
an unequal and desperate contest, he being unarmed. The Lynches, who are
brothers, and both young men, were found by deceased trespassing upon his
ground; as we have been given to understand, digging earth for the purpose
of removing it to enrich their own. Old M'Cormick very naturally forbid them
or proceed at their peril, as, if they did, he would appeal to the law for
the protection of his property; when, without any provocation, they fell
upon him with their spades, and beat him so unmercifully that they broke his
skull. After glutting their rage upon him, and as we have observed, severely
beating his son, they left him, and he was soon after borne to his own
house, a sad spectacle indeed for his afflicted family, covered with blood
and his brains protruding. He survived till the Saturday morning following
at five o'clock, when he expired. - The Rev. Francis Gouldsbury attended him
on the evening he received the beating and took his examinations, when he
swore positively against the Lynches; and on Saturday the same Gentleman and
another Magistrate, Hugh Lyle, Esq., held an inquest on the body, when Thos.
M'Cormick having fully corroborated his father's dying testimony, the Jury
returned an unanimous verdict of a "Wilful Murder," against Patrick and
James Lynch. They absconded, but their apprehension is certain, from the
strict pursuit which has been instituted. They are from 23 tp 25 years of
age, about five feet eight inches high; rather slender, but well made. One
of them dark complexioned with black hair and whiskers; the other, rather
fair, with brown hair. The deceased was 75 years of age; was a member of the
Presbyterian connexion, and had ever borne a respectable character; the
Lynches are Roman Catholics and, as we have heard, violent party men. --
Derry Paper.

MARRIED
      By special license, in the Parish Church of Athenry, on the 27th
instant, by the Rev. Mr. Irwin, John Flemming, Esq., Lieutenant 1st Royal
Veteran Battalion, to Margaret Maria, eldest daughter of Dominick Burke,
Esq., of said place.

DIED
      On Saturday last, at the very advanced age of 91, at Derrinane, Maurice
O'Connell, Esq. His landed property, consisting of £4,000 a year, he has
bequeathed to his nephew, Counsellor O'Connell, and has divided equally
between him and his brothers, John and James O'Connell, Esqrs., £40,000 in
cash.
      With feelings of sincere regret, we announce the decease of the Hon.
Valentine Lawless, eldest son of Lord Cloncurry, which took place early on
Monday morning at the house of Baron Hoelieck [or Hoebeck]. Mr. Lawless was
only in his 20th year, and he had distinguished himself by his extensive and
various acquirements in literature.

THE CONNAUGHT JOURNAL
Galway, Thursday, February 3, 1825

      LIMERICK, JAN 26 - By the exertions of W.H. Pearse, Esq., C.C., Patrick
Molony, charged with being the leader of a gang who murdered Connell at
Bilboa, was apprehended on Saturday last, in a Glen, near Keeper Mountain,
whither he had fled for safety; he was lodged in the county gaol on Sunday
last.

      On the evening of Wednesday last, the Police of Ballingarry found a
man, named Richard Morrison, lying in a dyke, near Ballinleena, in a wounded
state, and speechless. An inquest, which was attended by Surgeon Franklin,
jun., has been since held on the body, when it appeared that the side of his
head had been beaten in by a stone or some flat substance. A person, named
Thomas Roche, who absconded, is charged with the murder.

      On the night of the 8th inst., a person, named Ryan, was found dead in
the street of Galbally, in this county [Limerick]. An inquest was held at
the time by C.  Bennet, Esq., Coroner, and there did not appear any evidence
of violence; but it is now ascertained that he was murdered, and two persons
have absconded, and a third is in custody.

      A clue has recently been discovered, leading to all the circumstances
of the atrocious and unnatural murder of John Ryan, at Ballyvorneen, near
Cahirconlish, in October last. This clue has, within these few days, been
rendered more clear and satisfactory, attaching the strongest guilt to four
persons, now in prison for the crime, and for whose conviction the fullest
proof is in preparation. The details of this horrid murder, when given in
evidence, will affect the most callous feeling, more especially when the
near relation of one of the parties is considered.

      The Rev. Charles M'Carthy, P.P. of Dromin, has been appointed to the
Parish of Ballingarry, in the room of the Rev. Gilbert O'Grady, retired. The
Rev. James O'Regan, Chaplain of the County Gaol, and Curate of St. John's,
in this City, succeeds Mr. M'Carthy, at Dromin. The Rev. Mr. Tushy succeeds
the Rev. Mr. O'Regan as first Curate of St. John's; and the Rev. Mr. Liddy,
of Shanagolden, lately removed from Patrick'swell, has been appointed to St.
John's.

REFORMATION IN DUBLIN
      On Sunday the Rev. Richard Swayne, late a priest of the Church of Rome
and member of the Order of Carmelites, with two other respectable persons,
renounced and abjured the errors of popery under the spiritual direction of
the Rev. Thomas Scott, and subsequently received holy communion in St.
Thomas's Church.
      Mr. Swayne is the author of the letter recently addressed to the Most
Rev. Paul Cullen, titular primate of the Roman Catholic Church in Ireland,
entitled "Rome tried by herself and Found Guilty." He is on probation with
the Reformed Romanist Priests' Protection Society. -- Evening Herald.

EDMUND AND CHARLES KEAN
      Charles Kean, the tragedian, was born at Waterford on the 18th of
January, 1811. His mother, Mary Chambers, was also a native of Waterford,
descended from the respectable family of Cuffe, long settled in that
county. - Charles Kean entered Eton as an "Oppidan," his father fixed his
allowance for board and education at 300l. per annum. He remained at Eton
three years. Edmund Kean might have maintained his family in all the
elegancies of life, and left behind him 50,000l. if habits of irregularity
and reckless extravagance had not gradually settled upon him. Charles Kean
fortunately had contracted no private debts - a rare occurence in an
Etonian. He made his way to London, and hastened immediately to his mother's
lodgings. He found her in sickness, in sorrow, and in poverty. The young man
first made his appearance on any stage in Drury-lane theatre on the 1st
October, 1827, in Young Norval. The father and son acted together for the
first and only time in London, on the 26th March, 1833. The play was
Othello. The Moor, as usual, by Edmund Kean, Iago by Charles Kean and
Desdemona by Miss Ellen Tree. After the first scene, Kean observed, 'Charles
is getting on very well to-night-he's acting very well; I suppose that's
because he's acting with me.' He was very feeble but by the help of brandy
and water he went on stoutly till the commencement of the third act. He held
up until the celebrated 'Farewell,' which he uttered with all his former
pathos; but on concluding it, after making one or two steps towards his son,
and attempting his speech, 'Villain!, be sure,' his head sank on his son's
shoulder and the tragedian's acting was at an end. His son, assisted by
other persons, carried him to his dressing room, and laid him on the sofa.
He was removed to Richmond, where he died on the 15th of May, and was buried
in the churchyard at Richmond, where his son erected a tablet to his memory.
A sliver claret jug valued at 100l. was presented to him in London by a
deputation of gentlemen from Waterford, inscribed as follows: - "Presented
to Charles Kean, Esq., as a token of esteem for his private character and
admiration of his talents, by a few friends, in his native city of
Waterford, June 28th, 1838." On the 30th of March, 1838, he received the
high compliment of a public dinner in the saloon of Drury-lane theatre, on
which occasion, he was also presented with a magnificent silver vase, value
200l. "by the admirers of his distinguished talents." On the 29th of
January, 1842, occurred the most auspicious event in his life - he was
married in the Church of St. Thomas in Dublin, to Miss Ellen Tree. By this
Charles Kean obtained a large addition to his worldly means, and an
invaluable co-operator in his theatrical career. This marriage took place on
the last day of their Dublin engagement and on that same evening, by an odd
coincidence, they performed together in The Honeymoon. On the 30th of March,
1849, the widow of Edmund Kean died at Keydell, in Hampshire, the county
residence of her son and where she had found a happy retreat during the
closing years of her chequered existence.

MISCELLANEOUS
An iron lighthouse of vast dimensions, is being erected on the Fastnett, a
solitary rock in the Atlantic, off the coast of Cork and Kerry.

Patrick Ryne, of Cork, was fined £20 on Saturday by the local magistrates at
the prosecution of Lieut. Friend, R.N. for acting as emigration agent
without a license.

Mr. Sergeant Shee is certainly an eminent and distinguished member of the
English bar, but he is not "a large landed proprietor" or our county. He is
in reality a tenant and middleman. No member of his family, for the last two
centuries, could be numbered amongst the proprietors of Kilkenny. His father
was a respectable merchant, and his grandfather was a worthy tithe proctor,
whose life was sacrificed to the rage of the lawless peasantry in the first
crusade against the tithe system.-- Kilkenny Moderator.

A recent number of the Nelson newspaper, New Zealand, announcing the arrival
out of the 'Lady Nugent,' passenger vessel, observed: - "Her passengers
altogether seem to be of a superior class- We have a favourable specimen of
the Scotch farmer in Mr. Wm. M'Rea, brother of Mr. G. M'Rea, of Pitfure. Mr.
Wm. M'Rea has been for some years farming a considerable property at
Bonavaree, county Clare, Ireland, which he abandoned in consequence of the
wretched state of that unhappy country, and his doing so caused no small
sensation far beyond his own immediate circle.

Anthony Lynch, Esq., has resigned the situation of Post master of Galway, to
which office he was inducted on the 15th ult.

On Wednesday the ceremony of a reception took place at the Presentation
convent, Tuam. The postulant was Miss O'Connor, Willsbrook, Roscommon.
Archbishop M'Hale officiated on the occasion.

John Shouldham, Esq., High Sheriff of Longford, has established a Flax Mill
and introduced the manufacture of linen into the town of Ballymahon.

There has been grown this year, on the land surrounding the Nenagh
Workhouse, four acres of Flax, and vegetables which are used in soup for the
diet of the paupers. There is a Capstan mill, which grinds all the corn into
flour necessary for the house; there is also an excellent bakery, weavers,
tailors, shoemakers, and carpenters' workshops where the boys are
instructed. The women daily engaged in knitting, spinning, combing, washing,
and in preparing flax for the weavers' loom.

BIRTHS
      At Longford Castle, the Viscountess Felkestone, of a son, which only
survived a short time.
      At Rockville, county Roscommon, the Lady of Lieut-Colonel Wm. Lloyd, of
a daughter.
      At 16 North Great George's-street, Dublin, the Lady of Hamilton Smyth,
Esq., of a daughter.

MARRIED.
      On Monday, the 14th instant, in the Parish Church of Kilcommon,
Belmullet, by the Rev. Mr. Lees, Jane Adelaide, second daughter of Robert R.
Savage, Esq., of Bangor, to Mr. Michael Gallagher, of Coolamore.

DEATHS
      On Friday, 4th inst., at Rose Cottage, Westport, Lieut. Peter O'Malley,
aged 67, of the South Mayo Militia, the oungest son of the late Owen
O'Malley, Esq., of Burrishoole, and cousin of the late Gen. [?] O'Malley,
and Sir Samuel O'Malley of Kilboyne. The deceased has left a widow and a
large  family.
      On the 6th inst., at Cullane, Francis Fenell, Esq., for 40 years a J.P.
of the county of Mayo.
      At Michael's Grove, Brompton, Elizabeth, wife of Eneas MacDonnell, Esq.

EX OFFICIO GUARDIANS
The following are the ex-officio Guardians of this Union [Ballina] for the
ensuing year: -
Colonel F.A.K. Gore- Belleek Manor
Edward Howley, Esq., Belleek Castle
Captain W. Atkinson, Rehins
Captain John Knox, Greenwood Park
William Malley, sen, Esq., Ballina
Henry Wm. Knox, Esq., Netley Park.
Thomas Paget, Esq., Knockglass
William Gardiner, Esq., Cloonagh
John Bourke, Esq, Ballina
William Symes, Esq., Ballina
Arthur Ormsby, Esq., Curimbla
Mervyn Pratt, Esq, Enniscoe
Edward Orme, Esq., Ballycorroen
Thomas G. Bourke, Esq., Richmond
John Walsh, jun, Esq., Castlehill
Major J.F. Knox, Mountfalcon
Annesley Knox, Esq., Rappa Castle
James K. Gore, Esq., Broadlands
T. Jones, Esq., Castletown and Ardnaree
James V. Jackson, Esq., Caramore
Lord Arran, Saunderscourt.

      DIABOLICAL OUTRAGE - On the night of Sunday last, some miscreants
posted a threatening notice on the house of Mr. Wood, an English gentleman
residing at Tallagh, within a short distance of Belmullet. They afterwards
set fire to his haggard, which, we have been informed, was totally consumed.
Government has offered a reward of £100 for the apprehension of the ruffians
concerned in this wanton and unprovoked attack on an unoffending gentleman.
We trust the vigilance of the Constabulary of that remote district will
speedily bring the perpetrators to justice.

      CASTLEBAR UNION - At the last meeting of the Guardians of this Union,
Ignatius Kelly, Esq., was appointed Solicitor to the Board, having a
majority of two over Mr. Myles Jordan, the only other candidate.

      THE HARVEST - Several farmers have sustained very considerable loss in
the grain crops which unfortunately they were unable to gather home before
the late high winds and rain. The potato blight seems to have been entirely
stayed but in many instances the potatoes which were planted late have not
grown to the full size.

      THE CONSTABULARY - Constable Phibbs, for some years in charge of the
Ardnaree party of Constabulary, has been removed to Coolany, in the county
of Sligo. Phibbs has been generally esteemed as a most active and efficient
officer while at the Ardnaree station and we believe his removal to Coolany
to be a preparatory step towards his promotion, which no man in the service
better deserves.

DUBLIN
Hugh Hill, Esq; late Collector of Strangford, is appointed Collector of
Londonderry, in the Room of Robert Harrison, Esq; who hath resigned.
Oct. 24 ] Mr. Sheriff Hart, attended by the City Officers, inspected the
several Markets and ins his Progress seized a Quantity of unsound Beef,
Mutton and Pork, which were burned on Ormond-Quay. And last Saturday he
visited the Markets again, and seized a Quantity of light Bread and
unsaleable Meat, which were distributed to the Poor.

26.] At an Adjournment of the Quarters Sessions, Dan. M'Kenzie, a Serjant,
in the 59th Regiment, was found Guilty for assaulting Mr. James Hodson, as
set forth in this Paper of the 3d of July last. He was fined one Mark, and
sentenced to one Month's Imprisonment in Newgate. But on M'Kenzie's begging
Mr. Hodson's Pardon in Court, the latter, humanely interceded for him to the
Court, to have his Sentence mitigated, when the Court was pleased to reduce
the Fine to Six-pence, and his Imprisonment to one Week. - It were to be
wished that every Citizen would with equal Spirit and Candour, support the
Peace of this City, and maintain the Civil Power. To the Honour of Mr.
Hodson, we mention it, that in Court he declared, "His Motive for carrying
on this Prosecution was not from any personal Resentment to the Prisoner,
but to deter others from disturbing the Peace of the city, and to caution
every Order of Men, not to insult the Citizens." And indeed his Conduct has
manifested his Intentions.

William Kirwan and Anne Sexton were tried and found guilty, at the
Commission of Oyer and Terminer, for robbing Peter Malone in Poolbeg-street,
and received Sentence of Death.

On Saturday last, Michael Lennen, late Servant to Mr. Joseph Rawlins, of
Francis-street, was found guilty of robbing his Shop of Goods.

BIRTH.] Last Thursday, the Lady of John Rochfort, jun, Esq, a Son.

MARRIED.] A few Days ago, John Conry of Portahello, in the County of
Roscommon, Esq. to Miss Mary Farrell of Lougherrill, in the County of
Leitrim.-- Mr. Thomas Craige, of Kennedy's-Lane, to Miss Moore, of
Temple-Lane.-- Mr. Barry, of Strand-Street to Miss Boyle, of the Blind-Quay,
with a Fortune of 600l.

DEATHS.] Died lately near Tuam, after a short illness, the Rev. Mr. Hector
Middleton.-- In Caple-Street, Madame Giordani, Mother of the celebrated
Signiora Spiletta.

A PROCLAMATION
By the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor of the City of Dublin.
      WHEREAS great Numbers of idle Vagabonds and vagrant Beggars, of both
Sexes, with a Number of clamorcus Children, are observed to strole about the
Streets, and this City is become the common Receptacle of Objects,
disfigured and frightful, as well as pretending to be miserable, from all
Parts of the Kingdom. And whereas, upon Application to the Governors of the
Work-house of this City, they have granted out of their Fund a Supply, for
maintaining and employing in Bridewel such Beggars as shall be apprehended
and sent thither by my Order, which is now fitted up for their Reception;
and all Children of such Beggars will be received into the Work-house, in
order to be bred up Protestants, and to Industry. In order to carry the said
Scheme effectually into Execution, I do hereby require and command all
Constables of this City, Beadles and Constables of the several Parishes of
this City, from and after the 10th of November next, to seize upon and take
up all Beggars of both Sexes and of all Ages, who shall be found begging and
asking Alms in any Part of this City without Badges; and all Shoe-boys and
idle vagrant Persons, who shall not betake themselves to Labour, and have no
visible Way of getting a Livelihood, and bring them before me, so as they
may be committed to Bridewel, and be kept to hard Labour; and I hereby
command all such Beggars, &c. to depart from this City before the said Day,
for if any be found begging after, they shall be punished with the utmost
Rigour of the Law. And as such Beggars are injurious to the Inhabitants of
this City, and as the Law has directed and enabled every Housekeeper and
Inhabitant of this City, to command the Beadle and Constable of his Parish,
under the Penalty of Twenty Shillings, to seize and take up such Beggars. I
require that every Housekeeper and Inhabitant, but more particularly the
Church Wardens, Sidesmen, and Directors of the Watch, in the several
Parishes of this City, will give their Assistance to the Execution of this
good Design, and return to me the Names of such Beadle or Constable as shall
refuse to obey their Commands in Execution of the same, that I may punish
them accordingly.
      Given at the Tholsel Chamber, the 20th Day of October, 1764.
                                                            BENJAMIN GEALE.

Dresses of Irish Women
On returning from Rathfriland, I observed a multitude of people, who
filled the road for a considerable distance.  On a nearer approach
they proved to be a catholic congregation leaving their chapel at
Hilltown.   The white and scarlet dresses of the women, shining
brightly in the sun, and backed by the scenery of Hilltown with its
noble mountains in the distance, composed a gay and busy picture of
indescribable interest.  The women are very partial to showy colours,
particularly scarlet.  Bonnets are never seen; but the caps are very
white, with broad borders ornamented with gay ribbons and flowers.  It
was an imposing scene; and on meeting them, I desired Pat to let his
horse move slowly, to give me an opportunity of closer inspection.
The men had nothing attractive about them; and the dresses of the
women, which assumed so splendid an appearance a distance, were
discovered, when closely viewed, to consist of anything but costly
materials – Binns Miseries and Beauties of Ireland.

One man was burned to death and another died later in hospital when a
car in which they were travelling over-turned and burst into flames a
few miles outside Newry, Co Down, on Thurs. night.
THOMAS McALINDEN [60], of Co Armagh, was trapped in the burning
wreckage and his charred body was recovered after the flames had been
beaten out.  The driver, MICHAEL CAMPBELL, of Canal St, Newry, escaped
through the roof and dragged out JOSEPH MAGILL, of Bessbrook, who was
taken to hospital severely burned and died there last night.
At the inquest last night on THOMAS McALINDEN, MICHAEL CAMPBELL said
he tried to avoid running over a dog, the car developed a wobble, and
before he could correct it the car turned on its side.
CAMPBELL was exonerated from blame and a verdict was returned in
accordance with medical evidence.

    The estate of Menlo, part of which lies in the Counties of Galway and
Clare, is about to afford some employment to the Gentlemen of the long robe.
Mr. F.B. Foster claims it, he says, as heir-at-law. -- Weekly Register.

DARING OUTRAGE
      On Thursday night last, the pound of Moycullen, which is situate
immediately opposite the pound-keeper's house, was broke open by some
persons, and several head of cattle taken therefrom, seized on the lands of
Killigaile, the estate of William Martin, Esq., and impounded for a large
arrear of rent due to him. The owners of the cattle must, no doubt, have
been the perpetrators of this daring outrage; and, strange to say, the
pound-keeper nor his sons, who act for him, have not as yet come forward to
lodge information against these persons, although they cannot be known to
them - nor have they rendered any account to Mr. Martin for the property
thus committed to their charge. We understand an investigation of this
affair is to take place before P.M. Burke, Esq. a Magistrate of this County.

FORT-HILL
      About Seven Acres of this Land, being part of the Estate of Thomas H.

WORKHOUSE ACCOMMODATION
      The consideration of the propriety of closing the Auxiliary Workhouse
in this Union was postponed until the Guardians have the benefit of the
advice of Captain Hamilton, the Union Inspector, in this matter. The Poor
Law Commissioners have suggested, in a letter to the Board of Guardians,
which appears in our report of their proceedings on Saturday, "whether it
may not be judicious to retain all or some of the auxiliary workhouses as
they may be again required during the ensuing winter when largely increased
rents might be demanded for them." We wonder were the Commissioners aware of
the piece of information on this subject which we laid out before our
readers last week when they wrote, or rather directed the writing of the
foregoing suggestive sentence? Were they aware that there then were only 493
inmates in the Union Workhouse, which can conveniently accommodate 1800 in
case of a temporary pressure, and that in two auxiliaries there were 775,
making a total of a third less than the main house could easily contain?
Were they aware that of this number 163 belong to other unions, and will
soon be removed? And were they aware of the weekly decrease in the number
which has been, and is still going on, when they suggested the judiciousness
of retaining those expensive and now useless houses? On last Saturday the
numbers stood thus: -
      Union House, .......................490,
      White's Auxiliary...................656,
      Joynt's..................................  89,
                      Total...................1235
      When we deduct this 139 belonging to the West and Killala Unions  we
have a number at least 600 less than that which the Union house is capable
of accommodating. Then if we allow a further decrease of 200, which is not
unreasonable, before the severity of winter sets in, we will have room for
800 when the apprehended pressure comes; and if any one of the guardians can
conscientiously say, with the present population of the union, decimated as
it has been by famine, sickness, and emigration, that an auxiliary house
still be necessary, we at once will submit.

      Sir William Somerville, accompanied by Dr. Toher, arrived in this town
on Thursday, on his way from Belmullet, and put up at the Royal Mall Hotel.

with the neat and orderly appearance of the entire establishment. He left
here for Sligo on Friday.

      The property, a peninsula in Clew Bay, is within about 2 1/2 miles of
the town of Westport. There is an oyster bank attached to the property. The
bays surrounding it about with almost every description of fish.
      A fishing station, which could not fail to return considerable profit,
might be established here, at very trifling expense. The shores yield a
sufficient supply of seaweed, not only for the culture of the land, but also
for the manufacture of kelp. There is a limestone quarry on the lands,
containing the very finest description of stone. There is also spring water
noted for its purity. The tenant's cottages are neat and comfortable.

DUBLIN June 27 – arrest of 14 persons at ARMAGH on a charge of treason.
On Tues. last, 14 men were taken in the city of ARMAGH and committed
to the goal of that county, by Col. BLACKER and a military guard under
his command.  These men, is is understood, were acting as delegates
from several counties in this kingdom, and concerned in some
conspiracy, which they were endeavouring to organize and bring into
operation against the authority of government and the peace of the
country.  We have ascertained their names and places of abode, and
they are as follows:―

Michael COFFEY, Dublin;      Edward CLAFFERY, Fermanagh;
Thos. BLAKE, Fermanagh;      John RICE, Monaghan;
Peter ROURKE, Longford;     John KELLY, Tyrone;
B DOUGAN, Dublin;    	 T LAMB, Monaghan;
P REILLY, Cavan;    	 John BRAILLEY/BRADLEY?, Derry;
Henry COOGAN, Antrim;    Thomas HUGHES, Dublin;
Thomas McGEOGAN, Antrim;     Thomas BYRNE, Louth;

Three of these men were from DUBLIN, two from FERMANAGH, two from
MONAGHAN, two from ANTRIM, and one respectfully from LOUTH, LONGFORD,
CAVAN, DERRY & TYRONE.  They all seemed respectable from their dress
and appearance and are now confined in goal at ARMAGH.   [Faulkner's
Dublin Journal]

Ireland – Clonmel Assizes – murder of Mr BAKER
On Monday last [?] MAHER was put on his trial, at Clonmel, for the
murder of Mr BAKER the magistrate [the particulars of which appeared
in the Edinburgh advertiser, Dec 8, 1813, p.365] The Solicitor-General
stated the case at great length, and detailed the particulars of the
horrid conspiracy which had been formed to assassinate Mr BAKER, and
which appeared to have been organized upon a most alarming and
extensive system.  After the examination of a great number of
witnesses, totally unconnected with each other, the prisoner was found
Guilty.  Mr SERJEANT JOY, who presided at the trial, in a most feeling
and impressive manner, then then proceeded to pass the awful sentence
of the law upon the prisoner, who seemed the only person present
unaffected by it.  When the Judge had concluded, the miserable culprit
exclaimed "May the gates of Heaven never open to receive my soul, if I
had any act or part in the murder!"  After this exclamation, the
solicitor-General addressed the Jury & said, to prevent them from
having any unpleasant feeling in consequence of their verdict, he
begged to assure them the prisoner had fully confessed his guilt, and
had pointed out to himself the fatal spot where the crime had been
committed, and had also acknowledged the part he had taken in the
horrid affair.
