Samuel Henry, a shopkeeper at Portstewart, gave evidence in a child murder case in 1892. Mrs Montagu, wife of a JP and described by her defence lawyer as a 'strict disciplinarian', was accused of causing the death of her 3-year-old child Helen at their house in Cromore (just outside Portstewart). The incident he witnessed was in July 1890.
a bread van stopped at his shop with a child of about four years, which the man was to hand over to a policeman, but witness took the boy in and found the name "Daniel" on his cap. The child had three cuts or scars on his head, one of them apparently of recent affliction. The child was one of the Montagu family, and witness sent him home.
London Times Feb 26, 1892.

.. which is all very well but, about tomorrow: I’m looking forward to it immensely. Despite many trips to Ireland over the years, I’ve never visited Dublin, but having followed NLI’s stream for years I feel as if I know it like the back of my proverbial. As I understand it, when the horse tram drops me in O’Connell St, I just have to make for the Liffey, passing Nelson’s ~~Column~~ Pillar and Lawrence’s Studio, then Clerey’s , the D.B.C. and the smouldering shell of the GPO . If I can resist the temptation to visit Chancellor’s studio and have a ride in his movable boudoir, I turn right at the Gunpowder Office , and go along Bachelor’s Walk (I just hope it isn't too crowded), cross the river via Ha'penny Bridge, look out for a small boy with a toy gun , and I’m nearly there. If I meet these men, it probably means I’m lost, as well as several months too late. What could possibly go wrong?

John Spooner I managed to evade the security and got a glimpse of the exhibition - in a word it's fantastic!!

Great image! The lads in the middle ground "make it". You'd be forgiven for thinking they were taking it easy - though the meaty looking tools in their hands would seem to suggest otherwise. There's so much going on here, I'm gonna have to take a moment to see if I can find Waldo! :)
