'On Saturday last given men were full committed to take their trial for the wilful murder of Mr. Thomas Cheshire: their names are Dennis Sweeney, Matthew Dwyer, Patrick Kinnear (all free), and Thomas Madden and Robert Bluitt (prisoners of the crown). No other facts appear to have been elicited since their former examination, but the depositions for so stronga mass of circumstantial and connected evidence, that it was held by the Bench sufficient to send these men before their country – and there we think our statement ought to close.
