Sarah CLARKEN was indicted for having in her possession a piece of blue
cloth, which was stolen from the shop of Charles M'HUGH, at Swanlinbar on the
29th June. The prosecutor deposed to the piece of cloth produced having been
stolen from his shop on the day in question.

Sub-Constable O'CONNELL proved to having arrested the prisoner in a house
about two miles from Swanlinbar....and saw the prisoner throw something into a
corner; went and picked up the piece of cloth now produced; M'Hugh identified
the cloth as his property.

The prisoner was found guilty, and sentenced to four years penal servitude.

RAPE

John SMITH, a respectable looking young man, about 17 years of age, was
placed in the dock charged with having committed a rape on Honora SMITH, a child
of eleven years of age....The details were unfit for publicity. It was quite
evident from the way the prosecutrix gave her evidence that she had been
over-trained, and on her cross-examination she contradicted herself in some
material points.

The prisoner was acquitted.

One thinks about justice in the arab coutries as barbaric. four years of
servatude [where?] is a bit much for a piece of cloth thrown in the corner.
probably the size of a hankie.
as i read the other parts i wonder which smith was the catholic?

lol
