An Account of the Earliest Settlers - At the beginning of the next school year, March 24th, 1815, Mr. Walter DIBBLEE was placed in charge (of the Indian School, Sussex). This gentleman was born at Stamford, Conn, about the year 1764 and was in the list of families that embarked for St. John on board the Union Transport at Huntington Bay, April 11th, 1783, he is stated to be a farmer by occupation. He was a cousin of Rev. Frederick DIBBLEE and drew lost no. 117 in St. John on the east side of Germain Street below Horsfield. Soon afterwards removed to Kingston, he was elected a member of the second vestry of the church there, March 28th, 1785. In 1789 he was appointed school master at Maugerville, having been recommended by Rev. John Beardsley as son of an old and valuable S.P.G. missionary at Stamford in New England. But in 179(1 or 4) Mr. Beardley reported to the S.P.G. that Mr. Dibblee had removed to Canada. Just when he returned to New Brunswick is not certainly known, but from 1795 to 1799, he was again teacher at Maugerville. In 1808 he had a school at Kingston and received from the N.E. Company 8 as one years salary for instructing the Indians there. He appears to have continued to teach at Kingston till his removal to Sussex, but as he was paid for only a few of those years, it may be concluded that there were no regular Indian school at Kingston. Walter Bates refers to Walter Dibblee in his history of Henry More Smith - 'The prison in the autumn of 1814 was kept by Walter Dibblee, a man of learning and talents who had been afflicted with a painful disease, so that for the greater part of the time he was confined to the house and frequently to his room in the county court house, where he taught a school by which means, together with the fees and prerequisites of the jail and court house, afforded him a comfortable living for himself and family, consisting of his wife and daughter, and one son named John DIBBLEE about 19 years of age, who constantly attended his father. It may also be necessary to mention that Mr. Dibblee was one of the principal members of the Masonic Lodge held at Kingston.' From the same work, we learn that Mr. Dibblee left Kingston on 11th March 1815 to take charge of the Indian Academy at Sussex. This position he held until failing health obliged him to relinquish it on the 24th May 1817. He died on the 1st of the following June and his son John finished out the school year.

Our highly respectable ancestors, the Loyalists, seemed to have thought that a gallows was quite as necessary an adjunct of civilization as a church. They erected one on the eastward of Fort Howe and from this fact the eminence long enjoyed the unenviable name of Gallows Hill. At the first meeting of the Supreme Court held in St. John in Feb. 1785, five prisoners were tried for capital offences. A woman named Nancy MOSELY was tried for the murder of John MOSELY but found guilty of manslaughter only, and she was punished by being branded on the left thumb with the letter M and discharged. Michael MINGS and Abraham MINGS, two mulattoes, were found guilty of burglary, the latter being recommended for mercy. A man named Peter A. KORMAN was found guilty of highway robbery and Peter THATCHER was convicted of grand larceny. All four were sentenced to be hanged on Friday night following their conviction, but only two, Kerman and Michael Mings were executed; Abraham Mings and Thatcher being pardoned on condition that they left the province.

A most atrocious and wanton murder was committed at the house of Terrence FERGUSON on the road to Kingston (Kings Co.) about seven miles from this city on Tuesday last. It appears that four men named LEONARD, McGunnagle, COYLE and HALEY (some of whom are married and had their wives with them) left town on the morn. of that day in wagons for a day's amusement in the country, and having drank rather freely of spirituous liquors, became abusive and quarrelsome and insulted several persons on the road; and __ entered Mr. Ferguson's where their behavior towards Mrs. F., while insisting on being furnished with liquor, has highly criminal. A man named Bernard COYE in the employ of Mr. Fergusom having interfered, was literally beaten to death by the ruffians. Three of them were immediately secured by men from Mr. APPLEBY's shipyard and conveyed to Kingston Jail, but Leonard who is said to be the ringleader effected his escape and is still at large. The deceased was a native of Athlone, Ireland, by trade a Busher. Date September 23 1839

Confession of James McMONAGLE related by him a few hours before his execution in presence of Rev. W.E. SCOVIL and H.D. O'HALLORAN, Capt., 69th Regt.: 'My wife and I having agreed to join some friends in an excursion of pleasure as far as NAPIER's, Gondola Point, she set out with John SWEENEY, Matthew McGARVEY (my cousin), Charles McMONAGLE and two other women in a wagon. As it would not conveniently carry more, I hired a horse and followed on horseback, but did not overtake them. On my way I called at ROBINSON's to see him on business, and while I was there the prisoners LEONARD and Haley with their wives and COYLE drove up in a wagon and stopped. This was the first I knew of their intending to leave St. John that day. They left Robinson's before me, but I overtook them before they got to FERGUSON's. There they persuaded me to go in and drink with them and afterwards we all went together to Napier's where I found my wife and friends. While we were there a quarrel arose between Charles McMonagle (a namesake but no relation of mine) and Haley about a game of nine pins, in which quarrel I took no part whatever, but lent, at the request of my cousin, 6d or 5s to settle the dispute. Sweeney with two men and three women who came in his wagon were the first to leave Napier's to return home. I shortly followed and endeavoured to overtake them, but Leonard and Haley with their party, though they set out after me, drove so fast that they overtook and passed me; and on going ahead got into a quarrel with some men they met. As I was not present I know nothing of how the quarrel began, but when I came up the men were complaining of being so much abused. As I came up Haley said that he would take satisfaction out of me for the quarrel he had at the ferry with McMonagle (my namesake). I said I had no concern with that quarrel and knew nothing about it. He said he would soon let me know something about it and catching hold of the skirt of my coat, he tore off a piece of it, upon which I turned my horse and rode back, while Haley followed beating me with his fists on my thigh and legs and knocked off my hat which he kicked along the road till he was satisfied. He said my best plan was to keep out of his way and not come near him that night. He wished to fight me. I said I was not content to fight with him that night but I would fight him in St. John next morn. if he liked. I asked him to let me pass him and go home. He said I should not pass. One of the two men who happened to be present cut and gave me a stick advising me that as soon as Leonard and Haley got into their wagon, to cut up my horse and pass them. Intending to do so I kept pretty close to them till I thought I saw a favourable opportunity when I made an attempt, but one holding the reins, the other beating the horse with a whip turned the wagon across the road and brought it against me and my horse. I cried out my leg is broken and begged them to stop. I made no further attempt to pass but rode on behind till we were near Fergusons. Here Haley insisted on my stopping to drink with friends again. It was not my wish but I thought it best to stop. I first took my horse to the shed and put Ferguson's boy on him promising him three pence if he would sit there till I returned. I went into the house and drank half a glass of brandy, not more and went almost immediately to my horse and was employed in cleaning him and looking at the hair which had been rubbed by the wagon running against him, when Haley came running out exclaiming who said anything about a Connaught man? referring I suppose to some previous dispute. Upon this I left my horse and ran into the house and there saw Coyle (the acquitted prisoner) and Haley striking the deceased. From some impulse, heated as I was with liquor I had taken there and at Napier's, I took hold of Haley's skirts and shoulders and made a kick through his legs at the deceased who was then standing up, but I am not sure whether I struck him with my foot or not. Leonard came behind me with his whip, aimed a blow over my shoulder at the head of the deceased. I ran out of the house and had my foot in the stirrup, when Haley and Leonard came out and said I must not go, for they would immediately go along with me. I remained waiting by my horse and the first thing I heard was Haley's wife crying out, 'McMonagle, you villain, you have murdered the man.' I ran out of the shed and said 'Lord bless me, how could I murder the man and me not there.' At this time I saw the deceased lying on the ground with his head towards the door and his feet towards St. John. I went immediately back for the horse determined to be off, but Haley came out again and said he would go with me in two or three minutes. I was for going on at once, but Leonard's wife begged me to stay for she feared Terrence (her husband) and Haley would murder one another before they got home. Hearing a great noise inside I went in, when one of them told me to get a stick. I ran out and happening upon a dung fork, I returned with it in my hand but found the door shut and Haley and Leonard on the outside. Coyle (the acquitted prisoner) was then in the house. Haley and Leonard asked me to get another treat, Mrs. Ferguson replied 'There should be no more got.' Leonard made answer that he would soon find a way to get more, and so saying broke the window with the butt end of his whip. Just then Haley struck the door, I know not with what, and Leonard kicked out the lower panels. I said to Leonard 'You have knocked your foot through the door' and then raising the fork with both my hands I struck the window myself, but I don't know whether the stroke did much or little damage. Haley's wife immediately got the fork from me and I again ran off to get my horse but he was gone. I searched for him on both sides of the road and in a potato patch. I was still looking for him when I heard the women cry out as before. 'McMonagle, you villain. You have struck the man with the fork'. I was soon after arrested. That is all I know of the matter, and I say before God, as I am about to die, that I was never in the house after striking the window with the fork in my hands. After it was taken from me by Haley's wife and thrown over the fence where it was afterwards found. I cannot charge myself with the crime of murder any further than the acts I have mentioned make me guilty, for these acts of violence I am justly punished, but here in my dying confession declare that I never intended, nor do I recollect doing any serious injury to the deceased. I am now to suffer for the part I took. Had I prayed that morn. to the Lord, as I was in the habit of doing once a day and not indulged in drink, I should have been kept free from temptation and never have come to this end. I heartily forgive the world, and in particular those witnesses who at my trial swore other things against me which I doubt not they believe to be true, but of which I believe myself to be innocent. I am not without hope that my God for Jesus sake will pardon me a miserable but penitent sinner and with his forgiveness I am content to die.' Date October 19 1839

Weekly Chronicle, Oct. 18 - Wednesday last Terrence LEONARD and James McMONAGLE were hanged for the murder of Bernard COYLE. The day being remarkably fine, multitudes of persons flocked from town and country to witness the awfully impressive spectacle of an execution. The gallows were erected at the back of the Gaol. The Military were drawn up in line on the right and left of the framework. At two o'clock , the screens being drawn slowly up , disclosed to the view of a very large assemblage, the two prisoners about four feet apart, each habited in a white garment. Leonard stood on the right very thin and pale and apparently much agitated. He had at first held down his head, but in about two minutes he looked up and spoke very slowly and disjointedly. He declared that he never committed any murder or robbery whatever; that he was innocent of this murder for which he had been found guilty and for which he was about to die. He had no business to do so and he would not; he never murdered Coyle and he craved the prayers of those around him. McMONAGLE, a stout and handsome man, appeared perfectly resigned and undismayed by the scene before him, looking full in the face of the people, he told the whole of the transactions of the day as far as he was concerned ... and concluded in the following words. 'I am innocent of the murder of Coyle, as my little son who is here today - I am prepared to die, thank God. And now all around me take this warning - that it was the drinking of rum that brought me to this disgraceful and untimely end - and may the Lord have mercy upon me.' In an instant afterwards the signal was given, the drop fell and the miserable men were in the agonies of death. Leonard struggled but a minute, McMONAGLE several minutes. As soon as they were dead, the bodies were cut down and brought thither by their friends. The High Sheriff then turned to the people and read the reprieve of the prisoner HALEY who had been condemned to be executed with those who had just suffered. The Sheriff also stated that Haley had expressed a wish to see the bodies before the coffins were closed, which had been granted. Haley was then brought out and kneeling down, kissed the cold cheeks of his unfortunate companions with whom but for the clemency of the Lieut. Governor, he would have been lying side by side as cold and as lifeless. Date December 30 1824

Formal inquiry is at length being made into the cause of death of John GUNN of Milkish. The deceased and Dr. PADDOCK of Kingston (Kings Co.) had been together and drinking freely. On driving out of Kingston towards Gondola Point, PADDOCK threw an empty bottle out of the waggon. It struck GUNN on the head, inflicting a wound which bled freely. Reaching a friend's house, Dr. PADDOCK dressed the wound, put a stitch in it and put a bandaged around it. Here they had, it appears, another round of drinks and GUNN left in company with a neighbour, PADDOCK returning to Kingston. The deceased walked from the road to his house, a distance of half a mile through the field. He was up in the morn. and attended to the business, but felt unable to stick at his work steadily and remained in this condition for nine days, when he complained of a severe pain in the head and became speechless. Dr. SCOTT of Kingston was then called, bled the patient and treated for inflammation of the brain. He improved, recovered his voice and again attended to his business on the farm for some days; but was again taken ill as before and died on 1st May. The remains were disinterred yesterday and a post mortem examination made by Coroner Earle of St. John. (see original)
