  Adverts for The Witness and Jubilee Assembly appeared in the Irish Times (end the the Evening Irish Times) on Monday 7th July 1890

• John Spooner said:

  On 10th of July the Evening Irish Times had a similar notice, but added that there would be "Fullest Reports of the Jubilee celebrations" . The Northern Whig reported on the 2nd day of the Jubilee Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in Ireland on Wdnesday 9th July, so it must have begun on Monday 7th July.

  The Witness Following the disappearance of the Banner of Ulster in 1870 and the Evening Press in 1971 [I guess it should be 1871 - JS], the Presbyterian community in Ulster was left without a newspaper. The Rev Thomas Hamilton of York Street Church (later the vice chancellor of Queens University Belfast), and a number of others then launched The Witness, a penny weekly. The first number was dated January 2, 1874. Alexander McMonagle was appointed editor and manager, and held these positions until his death in June 1919.
