John Pollock I am a Dock Laborer -
I live near the Dock - on Sunday night
the 3rd November instant I went from St
Paul's church to my Lodgings - It was
about 8 o'Clock when I left the church-
I had my tea and went to Bed It was
about 9 o'clock when I went to Bed- five other men, Patrick Hickey, James Murphy
John Murphy, Patrick Glynn, and Mr Delaney
slept in the same Room as I did - They
were all in Bed when I went to bed - I was
the last- About half an hour after I was
in bed I heard a tap at the door - I heard
the door open - I heard a strange voice
say " call Patrick Hickey up" - My
Landlady Mrs Glynn sung out at the
top of the stairs -" Mr Hickey there's some
one wants ye" - Hickey got out of bed and
went down stairs having previously
dressed himself. I got out of bed - and
went downstairs to light my Candle -
I saw two men inside the door - Hickey
went out with the two men and the
Landlady shut the door - I then returned
to Bed leaving the Candle burning -
about half an hour after I heard another
tap at the door - it was again opened
by my Landlady, Mrs Glynn - I
heard a man's voice down stairs
telling Mrs Glynn to call us up -
he said " call up all the men that's in the House " - She again came to
the top of the stairs and said " Get
up Lads - you're wanted" meaning

Before she called us I heard her say what good
would two men that's drunk be to you and the boy is
^ of no use myself and the other Lodgers - ^ I got up
and so did all the others in the Room -
we went down stairs - when I got
down I saw several men in the Room
I should know them again if I were
to see them - My Landlady said to
them - these men meaning the other
Lodgers are drunk and this Boy
meaning myself is of no use to you
one of them said "Its no odds - they
must go along with us" - We went
outside the door - There were a great
many men there - We were taken
along the Canal and stopped
at a house near the Brick yard
I should know the house again- We
were directed to go up stairs into a Room -
I saw a Man and woman in the Room
who were at Supper - It was a sitting
Room - There was no bed in it - I
should know the Man again - He had
a pimple or wart upon his face - He
said to Patrick Hickey "Swear in
these Men" - Hickey refused saying
"if it was necessary he should swear
them in himself" - The Man
then said "Where's that book" - a Book
(apparently a Bible) was then produced
