PATRICK MCNALLY AND HIS COURT MARTIAL

We have been waiting for several excited months for a package from Canada. Two, in fact. Almost daily, Izzy has been down at the local Village Store Post Office, politely enquiring as to the whereabouts. Canada assured us they had been sent  and that it takes a long time for a parcel to get from Canada to Australia. Took almost as  long as the 19th century ships but today they arrived. One is a fine book - SELECT BRITISH DOCUMENTS OF THE CANADIAN WAR OF 1812. VOLUME I.  Edited with an introduction by William Wood. A nice thick red hardback to add to the tomes we are already ploughing through.  The second parcel contained details of the COURT MARTIAL OF PATRICK MCNALLY IN 1812.

From the CANADIAN LIBRARY AND ARCHIVES.

BRITISH MILITARY AND NAVAL RECORDS.

At a General Court Martial held at Chambly the 21st day of October 1812, John Moore Private Soldier in the 103 Regiment was arraigned upon the following charge. Viz:

       ” Desertion from the Camp at Blanifindy ? on or about the 28th of September last. “

        Upon which charge the Court came to the following decision.

        The Court having heard and examined the information exhibited against the Prisoner together with his defence is of the opinion the John Moore Private Soldier in the 103rd Regiment of Foot is Guilty of the Desertion laid to his Charge and doth therefore for the same adjudge the said John Moore to receive Eight hundred lashes to be inflicted in the usual manner.

        The Commander of the Forces approves of the above sentence and directs that the Prisoners Joseph Montgomery and Patrick McNally be sent to Quebec to be there kept in Confinement until an opportunity offers to send them to England in order that their Sentence may be brought into effect.

Just a taste of the vast quantity of research and data on the BYTOWN OR BUST SITE.

The information provided here is directly from the genealogy book, Who's Which by
Reby (Johnston) Dobbs.  It is her words that are typed here.
**JERVIS MULLIN**
Early in the Spring, 1812 , His Majesty's 100 Regt. of Foot embarked for Canada.
There were tears in the eyes of many as the troops marched on board - they were l
eaving the land of their birth, perhaps to return no more.  There were no tears
in the eyes of Private Jervis Mullin, late of Arboe, County Antrim.  Unknown to
all but two or three conspirators - well disguised in a private's uniform, marched
Private Mullin's sixteen-year-old-wife!
