should be paid, and to find sureties for their good behavior for two years 
more, themselves in 20l. and their sureties in 10l. each, they were not 
convicted of a trespass, but of a very outrageous riot, having assembled 
themselves in great numbers, and being armed and disguised, and wearing 
what they called uniform of their white shirts over their cloaths, 
preceded by a horn which they blew, firing guns, and demolishing in the 
night time the fences of the inclosures of several persons, and of

June Cork At Cork


9th Cork Ended the trial of the White Boys, when Pierce Baily, convicted 
of burglariously breaking into the dwelling house of Mr George Montgomery, 
in company with a number of levellers, terrifying the family, and forcibly 
taking thereout several pieces of bacon, and other articles, received 
sentence of death, to be executed on Thursday the 24th inst. at 
Mitchelstown.


9th Cork Robert Stackpole, who acted as a captain, and commanded a party 
of the White Boys, convicted of killing a bay gelding, by shooting, and 
afterwards barbariously beating him with sticks, &c the property of James 
Grove, of Ballyhimock near Mallow, Esq (on which a servant of the said 
Grove was conducting a leveller to gaol, who was rescued by four men armed 
with pistols) on the night of the 24th March last, received sentence of 
death, to be executed on Saturday the 26th inst. at the town of Glanworth. 
- Stackpole held a council of war (as appeared by the evidence) at which 
another party of the levellers, commanded by one Capt. Dey, making in all 
5 or 600 men part of them armed, and dressed in their white uniforms, and 
white handkerchiefs tied round their hats, assisted, to deliberate on 
putting the said gelding to death, as belonging to a gentleman who had 
exerted himself in supporting these disturbers of the public tranquility.


9th Cork Pierce Moore, otherwise And. Moore, convicted of being in the 
said meeting, dressed in white, and playing on a fiddle, on the night of 
the 24th of March last, at the killing of Mr Grove's horse, received 
sentence of death, to be executed on Saturday the 26th inst. at the town

Fowlue, John Flemming, John Tracy, and Michael Dooling, otherwise Doill, 
indicted for burning the house of Mr Michael Adams at Glanworth; to remain 
in gaol till next assizes, the evidence having disappeared, it is supposed 
 from his being previously spirited thereto.


9th Cork James Leddin, and Daniel Sullivan, popish priests, indicted for 
exercising ecclesiastical functions, not being registered according to the 
statute made in that case, and presented by the grand jury as men of 
infamous characters, were admitted to bail, (in bonds of 50l each, and 50l 
their sureties) until next assizes, then to be tried for the said offences.


9th Cork Several against whom no indictments have been found, but who were 
presented as men of idle character, were enlarged, on giving sureties for 
their peaceable behaviour: And several others, against whom nothing 
appeared, were discharged by proclamation.

The conduct of the gentlemen of this county and city, concerned in the 
prosecution of those disturbers of the public peace, was most commendable, 
such a laudible spirit diffused itself, as is most worthy of imitation, 
and cannot fail of producing the happiest consequences in time to come.

They would have found bills of another nature than trespasses, and killing 
of cattle; and were most ready to aquit themselves as men of the truest 
loyalty, and affection for their country.


24th Cork In the morning Pierce Bayly, captain Stackpole, and Pierce 
(otherwise Andrew) Moore, three of the White boys, attended by a popish 
clergyman, were taken in horse chairs from the county gaol, to have 
sentence of death executed on them; the former as on this day at 
Mitchelstown; Stackpole at Glanworth, and Moore at Fermoy, on Saturday 
next. The High Sheriff, attended in person. The escort consisted of a 
major, 8 captains, 16 subalterns, and 300 infantry, who were preceded and 
followed, at a few yards distance, by a select body of Col. Piggott's 
regiment of horse militia, of the city, consisting of 50 gentlemen, armed, 
and in their new regimentals, commanded by Capt. Piersy, who are all to 
attend the executions.


16th (Clonmell) Ended the assizes for the trial of the levellers, when 
Owen Callaghan, of Clougheen, was found guilty of a riot, fined one mark, 
to suffer one year's imprisonment, and until he can give security for his 
good behaviour.


16th (Clonmell) John Doyle, priest of Ardfinan, - Sheehy, priest of 
Clougheen, and Daniel, priest of Cahir, in the county of Tipperary, were 
presented by the grand Jury, as unregistered popish priests.


16th (Clonmell) One Heyland, and five others, were transmitted from 
Clonmell to Waterford, to take their trials there.

administering oaths to be true to SIVE, and her Children; (fee p. 240) 
fined each 13s 4d Rains to be imprisoned twelve, and Lunt six months.


21st Waterford Valentine Walsh, Garret Lombard, Richard Condon, and John 
King, remain under warrants of detainer for high treason; and are to be 
removed to Dublin, to receive their trial. Many others were tried and 
acquitted, for want of the witnesses appearing. There were upwards of 80 
prisoners in the whole.

There was great lenity shewn by the judges, and it is hoped, by this 
means, the people will be brought to a due sense of their misbehaviour.

"In order to give some light into this intricate affair, we shall here 
present our readers with a letter from the Cork Evening-Post, wrote by a 
gentleman of known integrity, who from his situation became intimate with 
facts, and of such veracity, as not to be capable of misrepresentation. 
This has been thought necessary, in order to take off whatever odium might 
be affixed on the Protestants of Ireland, by a late assertion, That the 
Authors of these Disturbances have consisted indiscriminately of Persons 
of different persuations, &c." (See p. 308)
