Alias Frederick White. Alias Frederick Wyatt....Samuel Ryan, William Steel, Thomas McGrath and Patrick Daley, were indicted for the wilful murder of John McIntyre Esq. at Kinghorne in the county of Durham, on the 6th of September 1830. The first count laid the manner charging Ryan as a principal, committing he murder with a gun and leaden bullet on the right side of the body and the other, three prisoners, as accessories; The second count charged Steel as principal, committing the murder with a gun and leaden bullet, on the neck and the other three prisoners as The Attorney general having opened the case. Edward Doolan was called and examined by Dr. Wardell, after being warned by the Court that any expectation of mercy be held for himself, must depend for realization on the circumstance of his giving nothing but the truth in his evidence. I am a prisoner of the Crown under sentence; I know the prisoners at the bar; about August 1830, I was a runaway from my master Mr. Edward Wright; I had been sentenced to the tread-mill and absconded on the road; about five days after I ran, I met Steele and Ryan, at the house of a man called Yorkshire Johnny at a place called Long Swamp, about six miles from Newcastle; when I entered the house, I told Yorkshire Johnny, in answer to his question, that I was going to hospital; he asked for my pass, on which he laughed, said I might as well tell at once that I was in the bush, and there were two others there that would be glad to join me; he then sent for Steele and Ryan who came back; Steele suggested a plan to rob Mr. McIntyre s house, and I agreed to be of the party; about eight oclock me, Ryan, and Steele, went away, each armed with a musket; a man named ``Paddy the Good, supplied me with my musket; we proceeded toward Mr. McIntyre s place, which is about thirty-four miles off; this was in September, and we went about eight-and-twenty miles that night, and stopped at day-break close to a creek; we struck a light and made a fire
