The Blackstaff River runs through Magheralone townland which is about 7km SE of Ballynahinch town.It consists of 871 acres and is the site of ancient Catholic chapel from Penal times. This chapel was called Shankill and in 1870 was in James McGauran's field. It was also called Killylone. O('L V1 p 92) The name Magheralone name means ‘Plain of Luan’or “ Owen’s plain, the grass plain or plain of the lamb”. In land leases of 1770, the townland was divided into four Quarters named- Drumind, MaGwire, Bighouse & Wood. I haven't been able to find a map showing where these quarters were. It was owned by the Forde family of Seaforde before the tenants were able to purchase their own land around 1890.

Magheralone was transferred from Loughinisland parish to Kilmore parish in 1718 & again in 1897, Father Crickard transfered Magheralone & Teconnaught townlands to Kilmore parish, thus providing Father James McArdle, parish priest of Kilmore, with a magnificent site on Annacloy Road for the Holy Family Church, blessed and dedicated on Easter Sunday, 1899.

In 1659 there were 0 English/Scots & 12 Catholic families here. On his tombstone of 1774, John Savage is noted as being leat of Maharaloon.

In the Census of 1911, there were 53 inhabited houses and 6 uninhabited houses in this townland. There were 53 families comprising of 117 males and 123 females of which 98 were Catholic, 18 Protestant & 7 Presbyterian. There were quite a few new families represented with some of the older families having moved or died out. Most now owned their own homes and farms and a few of the larger landowners had swallowed up the smaller holdings and were leasing out the original cottages without land attached. We see the appearance of council houses. Some of these families travelled to the mills in Drumaness for work. Some children were working in the mill at 14 whilst others still at school at 17. Several were born 'across the water' married to locals hinting at seasonal work migration. There was sometimes a large gap in the ages of spouses, often the woman was older than her husband. Child death rate was reasonable. Many of the Catholic children spoke both Irish & English showing effective schooling.
The Carvill, Grieve, Cleland, Dorrian, Magoran, Maguire, Marner, Nelson, Reid, Rice & Rogan families had continuous occupation in this townland from early 1800s to 1911 and beyond.

12th January 1839; The Effects of the Big Wind
At Kilmore: Kilmore and its vicinity have suffered severely from the storm of Sunday night last, houses unroofed, some totally and others partially; several families had to leave their houses and expose themselves almost naked to the "pelting of the pitiless storm." One family especially, with a child unwell and the wife a short time confined had to leave their house and remain exposed to the inclemency of the weather. Rademon Wood has suffered much; one would think that the woodman had set his mark on every large fir and laid it prostrate on the ground; trees that have stood the blast for ages are laid low. One of the pinnacles lately erected on the church tower was blown down and carried through the roof of the Church. A person of the name Carvill, who lives convenient to the church, had his stable blown down and a fine mare much injured with its fall. Scarcely a stack-yard in the neighbourhood but had its contents laid prostrate or scattered to the winds. Lissara flax mill is totally unroofed. DR*

Mr Ruthven prosecuted on the part of the Crown and Mr Murland and Mr Murphy defended the prisoners.

Daniel Casement, examined by Mr Ruthven- Witness lives in the townland of Raleagh; recollects the evening of the 17^th March last, which was a fair-day in Ballynahinch; was returning home from the fair when he was overtaken by Patrick Green, witness and Green might have gone forty perches in company with each other, when they parted; witness saw no more of Green that night; to the best of his opinion Green was sober; witness got home before it was dark.

Cross examined by Mr Murphy- It being the 17^th of March, witness was indulging himself as well as others; knows all the prisoners; they are of the same religious persuasion as witness and Green; the 17^th March is a holiday; witness knows nothing about persons of his persuasion being prevented by law from marching or walking in procession on that day; will swear that when they don’t walk in procession, witness thinks it is a customary thing for them to drink a little; will not say that Pat Green would drown his shamrock; did not ask Green what he drank or where he was going; the parties concerned in this trial are neighbours; witness might have taken half-a-glass or so on St Patrick’s day; disremembers what time in the morning he drowned his shamrock.

Patrick Green examined by Mr Ruthven- Lives at Drumnaconagher; recollects the 17^th of March last; was at Ballynahinch fair on that day; left the fair in the dusk of the evening; on his way home overtook the last witness, Casement; they walked part of the way together; after parting with Casement, witness met with a man named John O’Prey; O’Prey invited witness to Hugh Maguire’s which is a shebean house; it was between seven and eight o’clock at that time; witness was about ten minutes in the shebean; had to pass the turn leading to his own house to go to the shebean; John O’Prey came out as far as the end of the house with witness; after leaving the shebean witness proceeded on the main road, straight for home; on his way had to pass the prisoner Dorian’s house, which is a few perches from the highway, on the right hand side; had also to pass the house of a person called Cleland; which is on the opposite side, nearer Ballynahinch; Cleland’s house was not occupied at the time; witness was not ten yards past Cleland’s house when Hugh Beatty attracted his attention; witness said to him "Come on Hughy, you will be company a bit of the road with me"; Beatty made no reply but stooped down with his hands on the road; witness spoke to him again and said that he need not pretend to being the drink for he had seen him that day before; witness then proceeded homewards leaving Beatty behind between him and the shebean; Beatty then followed witness until he came within a ‘bit’ of him; witness then observed another person, who he took at the time, for the prisoner Daniel Davey; Beatty then came in on the witness and gave him a drive; before witness knew what he was about he was pushed with his face against the hedge, and his hat was knocked off; before he had time to speak a word to them they were all laying on with their fists on his head as hard as they were able; witness shouted out " O, Hughy what’s this?" and wrought a little along the hedge to get rid of them; was in the way of getting rid of them when Thomas Mariner, one of the prisoner came up and struck witness with a stone on the head; Mariner repeated the blow holding the stone in his hand; witness struggled to get rid of them and in the struggle Dorian came in and struck him; witness then saw that he could do nothing and all the prisoners continued to beat him; after a little time they ceased and went away; Davey and Dorian ran off through the fields towards Magheralone but could not tell where or what road the others went; when the prisoners left the witness he was lying all blooding across the ditch about three fields from his own land; witness got home and was for a fortnight after confined to his bed in consequence of this beating; Mr McCullough visited next day and attended him till he recovered; the first of the prisoners that witness saw afterwards was Beatty who was brought a prisoner to where he was lying; that was on Saturday, and the affair took place on the Thursday previous; the next he saw was Mariner , who was also brought a prisoner to where he was for the purpose of identifying him, that was on the Monday following, but he did not see either of the others till some time in April; witness swore his information on the Saturday evening after he was beaten.

Cross examined by Mr Murland- This is witness’ first appearance on the Crown side of the court; has a better acquaintance with the civil side; witness and all his family took the benefit of the Insolvent Act and got full clearance at the same commission, some time ago; cannot say what the money reputation of Mariner’s father is: witness went to the fair to look for corn seed; it was not to see Mr McComiskey; it was seed barley witness got from him; did not buy any seed corn; merely went to see how it was rating; witness had not been drowning his shamrock; took half-a-glass of whiskey, if that may be called drowning his shamrock; it was dark when witness reached home; did not dine in the fair but was treated by some friends; did not drink beer or porter or anything else of the kind and was study and sober as at the moment, he was speaking; when witness went to the shebean house, O’Prey called for a naggin, but did not get any; it was all gone; after leaving the shebean he saw Beatty standing behind him and the moment witness spoke, Beatty went down on ‘all fours’, witness observed another man, who he took for Dorian, but could not be sure of him, although many a time his friends served witness; the first thing that happened was his being pushed with his breast against the hedge; witness did not turn around.

And Davey running towards Magheralone; did not see where the others went; when the constable came to witness he only told on Beatty and Dorian; the reason why he did not mention the others was that he would not trust the police, for they would tell and give them (Mariner and Davey) an opportunity to leave the country.

Doctor McCullough examined by Mr Ruthven- recollects the 12^th March the day after last Patrick’s day; was called to visit Patrick Green; when witness first saw Green he was disfigured from the blood not having been clean washed off; he had seven cuts on the right side of the head, one on the temple and one near his mouth; witness visited Green four times; never apprehended any danger, excepting that fever might ensue; and could not be certain as to that for weight or ten days; Green is completely recovered now.

Cross examined by Mr Murphy- During the time witness was attending Green heard him accused two person and two only, and that was in the presence of Mr Stafford, S.I; the two that he names were Beatty and Dorian; he said Beatty came up first and gave him a push and that Dorian struck him with a stone.

Mr Ruthven said he closed the case on the part of the Crown.

Defence: Mr Murland said he would trouble the jury with a few observations. He and Mr Murphy were concerned for the four traversers, and he thought he would be able to show that there were not four quieter nor better conducted young men in the country. The jury could not help observing the weakness of the case on the part of the Crown and the ingenuity which Mr Ruthven displayed in propping up his principal witness even before that witness came on the table to be examined, by getting that most respectable gentleman, Mr Dandy Casement, to swear that the prosecutor was sober going to a shebean house. But, he would ask, why did not Mr Ruthven produce O’Prey, who accompanied Mr Green to the shebean and let the Court and the jury know what state he was in at the time? There was no doubt in the world but that this man (Green) was beaten, but that the parties charges were those who committed the assault was a very different question. Mr Ruthven conducted his case, as indeed he always does, very ingeniously, and he thought it well, and very convenient to gloss over the circumstance of the prosecutor at first only accusing two individuals. But it was necessary- it was convenient- it suited Mr Green’s views, for some purpose best know to himself, to connect the son of his former friend and benefactor- his neighbour Mariner with participating in this assault. He (Mr Murland) would ask the jury how could they reply upon such evidence? How could they rely upon the evidence of a man who tells the doctor and sub-inspector that it was Davey who struck him with a stone, whilst here upon this table, he swears it was Mariner, who struck him with the stone. Then again, let the jury consider the circumstances of Green’s mentioning to the constable of the names of only two prisoners as having beaten him; and of the two who he swears as being the worst he did not then say one word.

Mr Ruthven would require the information to be read, if Mr Murland was going to comment upon them. Mr Murland was about to proceed with his observations, when he was again interrupted by Mr Ruthven, requiring the information to be read. The Court did not see that it was necessary. Mr Murland said after what had taken place, although he had a number of witnesses summoned and in attendance, he would not produce one of them. The jury saw the prisoners in the dock; their appearance attested as to their respectability; the parties were all of the same religious persuasion (Roman Catholic); they would bear in mind the particular evening on which the assault was committed- the evening of the 17^th of March- and above all they would bear in mind Mr Ruthven’s attempt to prop up his principal witness even before the witness was examined. There was another circumstance to which he would call attention of the jury, namely, the fact of the prosecutor only mentioning the names of two individuals to the constable at first, and to his subsequently charging, and now swearing against four. With these observations he would leave the case in the hands of the jury.

His Worship briefly charged the jury, who having consulted for a short time returned a verdict of Not Guilty.

{This trial seems to have acquired some interest and when the traversers were discharged from the dock, a good example of excitement prevailed throughout the court. There appeared to be a general murmur of approbation on the announcement of the verdict, soon after which the galleries were considerably reduced in number.
