Treason trial in Dublin details United Irishmen plot
The Dublin treason trial outlines indictments against M Cans for compassing the king's death and aiding enemies. It lists thirteen overt acts including arming rebels, secret meetings at Bond's house, and arranging provincial meetings. Testimony describes Lord Edward Fitzgerald, Kenna, Daly, and others organizing barony and county delegations, collecting arms and funds, and plotting a French invasion to overturn the government. The jury finds Guitry guilty and the prisoner receives the death sentence after a solemn exhortation.
