2. IRELAND NEWFOUNDLANDCONNECTION 29TH June 1737 Old Bailey James Kelly, 36 Years of Age, born of mean Parents at Waterford in Ireland,who gave him little or no Education: When of Age, was not put to a Trade, butdid Labouring and Country Work, and was employed in fishing upon theCoast; but the Business he followed most when at Home, was that of a Miller;he married a Wife, and livd in an honest tho low Way at Home, but thinkingto mend his Fortune, he engagd to serve some Merchants of Londonin Newfoundland. He went there, and carried on their Fishery for some Time,and then he intended to have come Home to visit his Wife, Children, andRelations, if he had not been taken up for the Murther for which he died. Robert Levermore servd a Merchant, and had a little Habitation near theHarbour of Raunce in Newfoundland, as Kelly had at a Place calld Formugenot far from thence; Kelly and one William Fitzgerald being Countrymen, andof the same Business, and acquaintted together, and of a very villainous andcruel Disposition; as they were sailing along the Coast about their Affairs,agreed to make a Visit to that poor Man Robert Levermore, who had a littleHouse near by, when they came to him they calld for a Bottle of Rum, andpaid for it, and they made him drink the greatest Part of it, then seeing himfuddld, they thought upon executing their wicked Intent to murther him, 3. BY THE LAYING OF HANDS Kelly lookd after the Body till Fitzgerald riffled the House, at Night they carried himto the Stage-head and threw the Body into the Sea Next Day it was found, and according to the Custom of the Place, the People werecalled together to touch the Corps, imagining by that Means they might discover theMurtherer Kelly and William Fitzgerald the Murtherers, conscious of their Guilt, absented andfled into the Woods, where they travelled one hundred Leagues, Fitzgerald waskilld in the Woods, and 5 or 6 Weeks after, Kelly being upon the Coast was takenup, and was almost starvd to Death (as he said) in a nasty Gaol, being glad to eatraw Fish full of Maggots; a Gentleman he said offered him his Freedom, uponCondition of engaging to be his Bond-Servant for Life; but Kelly rejected this Offer,and after enduring very great Misery and Distress, he was at last sent Hometo England to be tried for his Life, where being convicted of the Murder as above,he sufferd accordingly. At first he denied his knowing any Thing of this Murder, butwhen the Dead Warrant came down, and there was no Hopes of Life, he ownd thathe was present at the Murder, and drew one End of the Rope, with which theystrangld Levermore. But he said, that Nicholas Fitzgerald and Robert Joyce, thetwo Witnesses against him, had a greater Hand in the Murther than he, and thatthey forcd him to assist in that execrable Fact, by threatning to dispatch him in thesame Manner. Kelly, (though of the Romish Communion ) behavd well under his Misfortunes, andwas attentive to Prayers and Exhortations, at which he constantly attended,expressing a deep Sorrow for the many Sins of his Life, especially the grievous Sin 4. Bad Cess to that blackguard medicine THE CLOGHEEN POISONING CASE Mrs Johanna Burke wife of Richard Burke Clerk of WaterfordUnion Workhouse. Died 14th April having taken medicine supplied byher husband from Waterford She had a little property, which she had to mind...It was not fromany misunderstanding that they did not live together, and he was inthe habit of coming to see her occasionally. She was subject to fits of epilepsy she took bark and wine for herconstitution She sent Ellen Pyne maid to the river for water to take themedicine. Shortly afterwards she became very ill and Ellen Pynewent next door to get Mrs. Annie Mooney sister of Johanna whothought she was having a fit. She sent Ellen for Dr. Walshe and thepriest. God forgive them that caused this dying declaration. TheDoctor was out but the priest came only to find her already dead 3 weeks earlier she went into her sister to show her the medicinesent by her husband to her. She did not normally take medicine and 5. THE INQUEST Post mortem carried out by Dr. Walshe Inquest held by John J. Shee, esquire coroner.

SUPPORT We do not like referring to this case, but we confess the factthat the people of Waterford, or a class of them should havebeen called on for subscriptions to defend this case, hasthrown a slur upon our citizens which is very deeply felt bymany. A correspondent in Clonmel writes to us to know whythe people of Waterford sympathise with this offence, and havesubscribed to defend the prisoner and we can assign noreason. The prisoner has been for many years in the receipt ofa large income, and therefore ought not to require suchassistance. Complaints have been made when the populace ofrural districts have collected a fund to defend those chargedwith agrarian crime, and the fat that funds have been collectedto defend a murderer have been used by those in England toshow the complicity of the population with the crime of theoffender and we shall not be surprised to find the Times andother English papers quoting the subscription raised inWaterford for the defence of one who has been committed onthe verdict of a coroners jury and had a true bill found against 8.
