Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Full and Accurate Report of the Trial for Riot: Before the Mayor´s Court of Philadelphia, on the 13th of October, 1831, Arising Out of a Protestant Procession on the 12th of July, and in Which the Contending Parties Were Protestants and Roman Catholics; Including the Indictments, Examination of Witness On Thursday, the 13th day of October, last, this most interesting trial was commenced in the Mayor´s Court, in the city of Philadelphia, before their Honours the Recorder and Mayor, and Aldermen Duane, Pettit, and M´Kean, when the following jury was sworn: - Charles Dean, Philip Mingle, William Taylor, William Wallace, Stokes Tomlin, Samuel Craig, W. H. Smith, Robert Welford, George Scott, Matthew Chambers, Rufus L. Barnes, J. C. Douglas. It is necessary to state, that this case involves two prosecutions, each for riot, in the nature of a charge, and cross charge; one being at the suit of the Roman Catholics against the Protestants, the other at the suit of the Protestants against the Roman Catholics: both issues were given to the jury. Counsel for the Protestants - David Paul Brown, Joseph R. Ingersoll, and H. Hubbell, Esquires. Counsel for Roman Catholics - Geo. M. Dallas, Wm. Sampson, (who was special, from New York,) and W. W. Haly, Esquires. A short discussion took place between the respective counsel, as to which trial should take precedence; when the Court directed that against the Protestants should be first gone into. Patrick Reilly, Patrick Lafferty, Edmond Schooley, Neal Harkan, Edward Devin, William O´Reynolds, Bryan Mount, John M´Nally, Anthony M´Convill, James Duffy, William Fox, Barney Brown, James Oliver, Francis Reilly, Patrick Brady, and Hugh Flanagan, versus Britton Evans, James Carrick, Robert Elliott, and Andrew M´Carron. The indictments having been read, to which the defendants pleaded the general issue, Mr. Haly, as counsel for the prosecution, opened the case by stating that the indictment charged the defendants with unlawfully assembling in this city, and having so unlawfully assembled, did make and cause a riot against the peace of the commonwealth, &c.; that it was not a case of ordinary character, but one accompanied by circumstances very unusually brought under the consideration of a court of justice; it was fraught with intolerance and provocation on the part of the defendants, as he would sufficiently prove in the course of the investigation.
