Show Coercion at Sentences. At the Nenagh quarter sessions, held on the 7th of January, Mr. Packenham Law, acting for County Court Judge Moore, confirmed the coercion sentences of two months with hard labor passed on Thomas Larkin, John Mitchell and Patrick Fitzpatrick of Roscrea, for alleged al-leged riotous conduct at the Roscrea status on the 13th of October. Dr. David Da-vid Sheehan's sentence of five weeks was also confirmed. Mr. Morphy prosecuted and Mr. O'Connor (Instructed by Mr. M. Dwyer) defended. After the depositions were read over, Mr. O'Connor said that he would produce pro-duce no evidence, but addressed the court on the appellant's behalf. Mr. Morphy pressed for a confirmation confirma-tion of the sentences, and his honor confirmed, except in the case of Shee-han, Shee-han, which he reduced to one month. |
