Hello All I found a short list of some of the inhabitants of Dungannon, who paid their respects to Henry POLE Esq. Transcribed from the 3rd Dec. 1842 edition of The Northern Standard.
Henry POLE Esq. The restoration of this gentleman to the commission of the peace has caused a universal feeling of pleasure in the breasts of the inhabitants of Dungannon. It will be in the recollection of our readers that complaints were preferred against him by the radical party, subsequent to the Dungannon election and that a suspension of his commission was the consequence until an investigation should take place. Mr. POLE has not only been honorably acquitted, but the conduct of his accusers severely censored the chancellor, who declared that their complaints were not only untrue, but that they knowingly suppressed facts which would have tended to benefit Mr. POLE in his defence. How like them! The inhabitants of Dungannon, gratified at the result of the investigation and anxious to pay a just tribute of respect to one who had been an honor to their magisterial bench and who had at all times discharged his duties impartially, resolved on presenting Mr. POLE with an address of congratulation, accompanied with a suitable mark of esteem. For this purpose a meeting was held on the 24th Nov. in the court-house. The assemblage included the principal gentry and clergy of the town and neighborhood, the leading merchants and shopkeepers and a large number of respectable farmers from the country. Among those present were; Viscount Northland M.P., The Park Robert Wm. LOWRY Esq., J.P. and D.L., Pomeroy Castle John Y. BURGES Esq. J.P., Parkanour George D CRANFIELD Esq., J.P., Blackwatertown Robert WRAY Esq., J.P. John Laurence SPEER Esq. J.P. Clonally Rev. R. N. HORNER, Glebe hill Rev. T. CARPENDALE, Donaghmore Rev. Thomas KINGSMORE, Tullyneskin Rev. A. MAJOR, Derrygortrevy Rev. John LEECH, Moy Rev. D. BENNET, Dungannon Robert EVANS Esq., Gortmeron James KING Esq., Roughan House James SCOTT Esq., Bloomhill Armour LOWRY Esq., 30th Regt. Henry GREER Esq., 63rd Regt. John O’SULLIVAN Esq., Killyman Glebe C. NEWTON Esq. John LITTLE Esq., Stewartstown Robert BOLTON Esq., M.D. Wm. DAWSON Esq., M.D. Richard PIKE Esq., Beech Grove Jackson LOYD Esq., Grange George WILCOCKS Esq., Coalisland John Pim BEARCROFT Esq., Wm. H. IRWIN Esq., Drumglass House Richard P. MORRIS Esq. John M. MACAVOY Esq. John WILSON Esq. Joseph BEARCROFT Esq. Robert NEWTON Esq. Wm. ROBINSON Esq. Coalisland James BROWN Esq., Grange William HOLMES Esq., Moy C. C. DAVIDSON Esq., Moy Samuel DAVIDSON Moy &c. The address was read by Mr. BURGES, who also presented the piece of plate to Mr. POLE, who was loudly cheered the moment he appeared on the bench; and reiterated applause showed the estimation in which he has been held by the people of Dungannon. The piece of plate was indeed splendid and of Irish manufacture. All the best!
