You're best bet, tho, is to get the local newspapers for that date and look up the reports for the quarter sessions or the Assize trials. You'll have to find out what the paper was (PRONI has a list) and then find a library that has them on microfilm. Bigger trials (murder, insurrections) sometimes had very detailed trial info in the paper. The smaller crimes were often just given a mention. But sometimes the person's townland was named. Good luck, Janet C-S
