“There was the case of another Cappagh White man who charged with and sentenced by a Limerick court martial but this was on 10th May 1800. That village was both famous for its fairs and notorious for its faction fights. William Tracy and others from there were charged with attacking a party of the Loyal Essex Regiment of Fencible Infantry on the 27th April.Sergeant Thomas Davis stated to the court that he was an escort for a prisoner who was being taken from Cappagh White by Ensign Hearne. On the Road to Limerick and half a mile from Doon he saw the accused man in front of a number of women and children. He immediately ordered him out of the way and threatened him. Treacy, he said, jumped over a fence and into the fields. He saw him again near Doon chapel wall where he was joined by other man near the gates. When the escort left Doon village the crowd followed and gave three huzzas and some stones were thrown at the soldiers. Davis saw Treacy with a stone in each of his hands. The crowd was shouting: ‘Hip, hip, hurray! Follow!’After a while the stoning was followed by four or five shots and a shout of ‘Let the prisoner go!’ was heard. Private Harding of the Loyal Wessex stated that the escort consisted of one subaltern, one sergeant and sixteen rank-and-file. They were escorting a prisoner who had been arrested by the Durham Cavalry. The court martial sentenced the prisoner to death but with a recommendation for mercy. After reading fully the court martial papers, it is not difficult to understand why Lord Cornwallis commuted this brutal sentence to seven years transportation.” National Archives Dublin 620/9/90/6
