Named Entity Results, John Finney

Stopping up a House. --At the Mayor's Court yesterday the novel charge was brought against John Finney of "stopping up the house" of Bettie Kirkmyer, and disturbing and annoying her in various ways.

Bridget Moore, who was arrested on Tuesday evening for throwing hot water on and kicking her husband, John Moore, appeared with a baby in her arms, accompanied by her husband, to undergo an examination.

He was committed to appear before the Hustings Court prior to being sent before Judge Lyons for final trial.
