Yes Maribeth we are lucky they recorded so much detail. Another Hannah Jackson statement was published on the Carlow site some time ago but the statement posted yesterday has a few changes, it is made a day later and Benjamin Bunbury has become involved. It seems he advised on the wording of such statements and on what might be admissible or acceptable to the Magistrates of the time. One noticeable addition is the full title of King George, this is common on all Bunbury's documents. Besides I don't think that Carbery Hendley was a Magistrate ?. Here is another statement concerning that same incident but with even more detail added and again Bunbury adds his signature. I am grateful to Turtle Bunbury for his assistance and advice concerning the Bunbury Papers. The Examinations of Mary Kersy of Tullow in the County of Carlow Servant to Mr. John Brough of Tullow aforesaid taken before Carbery Hendley Esquire one of his Majesty's Justice of the Peace for said County. The said Examinant being only sworn on the Holy Evangelists and Examinant say that on or about the Twenty seventh day of April last - Examinant being called up by Hannah Jackson on the morning of said day in her said Masters House in Tullow aforesaid she found Walter Magee and two other men whose names she has since heard are Henry Whaley and Daniel Horahan and in sometime afterwards James Nowland and James Gillespy joined said Magee in her said Masters House and the said Henry Whaley demanded the Key of the Parlour door of said House from this Examinant which Examinant gave the said Whaley whom opened the Parlour door and the said Henry Whaley and said other Persons went into said parlour and remained the for sometime. This Examinant sayth the said Magee told Examinant that he the said Henry Whaley had been for sometime that morning in an Outhouse waiting for an opportunity of getting into her said masters House and that as soon as Hannah Jackson who was then a Servant of the said John Brough's, had opened the door, he the said Walter Magee put a cocked Pistole to the said Hannah Jackson's Breast and then he and said other persons got into said dwelling House and forcibly kept possession thereof fore sometime and threatened to take possession of the Remainder of part of said House until said Master who was above stairs with his family in bed made his appearance.
