Times 1819

1811 3-4-1819
Saturday night at about half past two, NICHOLAS KELLY
and THOMAS CARROLL, were executed in front of the
Waterford County Gaol, pursuant to their sentences at
the late Assizes for that County, the former for
stealing, on the 5th Dec. last, at Kilmacthomas, a mare
bridle and saddle, the property of EDMUND CANTWELL, of
Carrick-on-Suir, Esq. and the latter for stealing a cow,
the property of PATRICK LONERGAN, near Cahir on the 1st
of January. They both acknowledged their having
participated in the offences for which they suffered,
and evinced in their last moments the strongest
appearance of penitence and resignation to their unhappy
fate. JOHN POWER, and WILLIAM BRIEN, for the murder of
MICHAEL FLEMING, steward of Mr. GRUBB, at Clogheen, were
hanged at Clonmel on the 26th ult. This murder was a
case of the greatest atrocity, and a mode of punishment
of the most appalling nature was resorted to, in order
to strike terror by a dreadful example, the two
offenders were ordered for execution by night, at the
new drop in front of the Clonmel Gaol by torch light.
This manner of execution has not, we believe, been
practised since the days of the White Boys.
