Elisabeth Burnt, with 7dlfta Burnt her fbn Mary
IV...piing, with IVnifred and I.7tzabeth Docufing her
daughters, flood indifled for the wilful murder of
Cuherinc Dale, at Foutftown, near Athy, on the

_.4th of May, 17.98-
It appeared in evidence, that Patrick Dowling,
the hatband of the prifoner Mary, having been a
rebel Captain, had on the morning of the 24th of
.May alfembled his Divifion of Rebels in the neigh-
bourhood of Tontitown, and had difpatcbed a party
to bring before him joreph Dale. who lived at a
very Ilion diflance from Dowlihg's habitation.—
Dale
being a Proteßant, came very reluElantly ;
and being urged by Dowling's party to join them,
under the alternative ofhimfcif and wife being put
to death, he confented to go with them, on a Rim.
lation that his wife (hould [offer no injury. Dale
proved that upon this he marched with the patty,
and paging his own door law his wife in tears—
this was the lafl time he law. her alive. Dowling
and his party having marched towards Athy, In-
tending to attack the Town, were fuddenly inti-
midated on feting Captain Rawfon and his Loyal
Athy Yeotnanry advancing to meet than; the re-
bels fled and difperfed; Dale returned to his own
houfe. which he found open and the floor covered
with blood; his fears fuggefled what had happened;
and going into the garden behind his houfe he law
the earth newly turned; he removed part of it and
dilcovered the mangled body of his unfortanate
wife.

It was then prooed, that as loon as Capt. Dow-
ling had marched oft his party, his wife, the pri-
foner Mary, addrelred a number of women who
had tolletted at her houfe, and informed them that
they mull go up and murder Catherine Dale, the
Oiange w—c, lea (he should go into Athy and
tell that the boy: were up. Upon this the other
women collefted a number of boys one of whom,
James Bunte, the prifoners Mrs. Dowling armed
with a churn-Ruff, and they fet out for Dale's
houfe, leaving Mrs. Dowling behind. On entering
the honk they found the deceafed with a prayer-
book in her hand, James 13.wrie knocked her down
with the churn- Raft hi; mother, Elizabeth, drag-
ged her out of the houfe into the road, where they
ihrew the unhappy creature under the wall of her
own houfe, when the prtfonen Elizabeth and Wi-
nifred Dowling fupplying the little boys with
Bones, the vas Boned to -death, and her Ehlers
body thrown back into the houfe.
There farts were proved by two of the boys who
were thus employed in this barbarous murder;
they were, at the time of giving their evidence,
not more than fourteen years of age, confeqnently
At the time of the murder they could have been
but eleven. They underwent a long and diligent
vrol.-examination, yet were ftrialy continent even
in the molt minute circumftances. Their evidence
was in part corroborated by a poor Yeoman who
had cfcaped the Rebels, and was hiding behind a
h..dge at Tome dinance, from whence he raw the
pri lows s furroonding Dale's houfe; and of another
m in, whom Elizabeth Borne compelled to bury
the body of the defeated, undera threat of reporting
hint as a cowardly rafcal to the Rebels, jibe dared
to refute.

The d.fence fct up by the prlfoners, Mary, WI•
ilral and El:zabrth Dowfing, was an attempt to
ploy.: that they had endeavoured to prevent the
m.ird:r ; but went to fix the crime politively on
Elizabeth and James Borne.
They were all found Gatikr.the Jury being of
opinion that Mary Dowling, though not adually
prcfent at the murder, was yet fo fituate as, con-
tieing her condo& with her commands to commit
the murder, left no doubt on their minds that the
party aCted under her diredion, and were embol-
dened by the expektation of affillance from her, if
it fliould have become neceffary.
Sentence of death was direBly paired, the Learn-
ed Judge ( Doses Es) pronouncing it in a molt In
lemn and awful Manner, and execution was award-
s I tbr Friday lafl. On Thurfday,however, it being
suggefied by affidavit, that the prifoner Mary
Dowling .was pregnant, an enquiry was diredcd,
and a refpite granted to all but Elizabeth Burne,
until thc refult of the enquiry fhould be known.
On Friday Efitaldb Burnt (an elderly woman)
was exec uteri in the front of the Gaol 4'Na:is, and
to the lall m ,ment was loud in declaring her in-

'1 Ile circitmaances which led to the conviLlion of
L is tnurtierers were rather extraordinary: On
