The laws of this country will not tolerate party fights such other parts of the kingdom. Although you injured of the housesindividuals, you did not break into the houses, and therefore I do not think your riot is so dreadful a one as that of the other At that prisoners just sentenced. the same time I remember what Mr. Sadler said, you kept within your houses when he said you should Mr. Sadler I learn also that thbe protected. From e received information of outrage in other parts ofthe town before yours began, but you assembled together before there were any disturbances. With regard to you, Thomas Murphy, it is difficult to ex press the indignation that one feels for the brutality that you and others were guilty of. ";;A harmless, unoffending man coming down th© streets of Stockport, having been sent by his mistress for his master, surroundedwas met by men, probably ten or twelve to one, who hammered him on the head with him and br. kbats. If that outrage had been carried a little further, you, Thomas Murphy, would, perhaps, have had to answer for his death. The sentence of the Court upon you is, that you be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for fifteen calendar months. You, Feeney, were seen as a ringleader, breaking into houses, giving the mob orders, and you yourself were throwing stones. The sen • tense upon you will be that you be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for ten calendar months. You, Patrick Naughton, were convicted of an assault upon Pearson, and were seen throwing stones at the school. The sentence upon you is, that you be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for six months.
