BALLINA CHRONICLE Ballina, Mayo, Ireland Wednesday, March 20, 1850 ASSIZES INTELLIGENCE KING'S COUNTY, Tullamore, March 12. The trial of John Keys, for the wilful murder of Police constable Gleeson, at Killoughey, concluded last evening at five o'clock; and the jury having retired, it was shortly afterwards announced to the Court that there was not any chance of their agreeing. The Crown, in this case, exercised the right of desiring certain parties who were called on the jury panel to "stand by;" but it was admitted by every person that the right was not capriciously exercised, and the objections to those who were set aside had not any reference to the religion of the parties. The prisoner had the right of challenging twenty, and it was fully availed of, seventeen gentlemen having been peremptorily challenged before a single juror was sworn. At nine o'clock there was not the slightest chance of the jury agreeing, and they were consequently locked up for the night. This morning, the jury still being unable to agree, the Lord Chief Justice declared his intention of not discharging them until the latter part of the day.- They were still locked up when the post was leaving. In the case of the prisoner who were tried for the savage attack on Thomas Dunn, at Rathure, in this county, the jury found Mulrooney, Kelly, and Casey, guilty, and acquitted Nowlan. His Lordship sentenced the three first to transportation for life. Cathy Joynt Labath Ireland Old News http://www.IrelandOldNews.com/
