Description by Evan D. Jones (continued):
' ... between deponent and harm, and added, 'you must promise to leave this place in a week or by God Almighty you are a dead man, and don't think the soldiers can protect you for they can't, and that they know, and they know that we are here now'. Deponent said 'Do no violence and I make you the promise'. The man on horseback turned towards the new dock and all the rest turned to go away. The man on the horse said something and a man pointed a gun to the deponent and discharged it, but it hit the window three feet to his right. Three discharges were made towards the upper windows. Deponent did not recognise the prisoner William Jenkins as one of the men. (2) Thomas Powell of the Metropolitan Police stationed at Trimsaran gave evidence of a statement by William Davies as in No. 52. (3) William Davies gave evidence to a similar effect. According to an endorsement by W. Chambers, junior, the witness Davies prevaricated so much that the examination was not proceeded with, and the prisoners were discharged.'
