A document, now yellow with age, and which has recently come under the notice of the curator of the Ontario Archaeological Museum, describes the proceedings of the court-martial, and is judged well deserving of a place in the records connected with the early military history of Ontario. It narrates that, on June 20th, 1839, the trial of certain "aliens or delinquents" belonging to the 2nd Regiment of Prince Edward Militia, was held in the house of Thomas G. McGrath, in the village of Consecon. Some thirty-five persons were tried, many of whom were convicted or mulcted in various amounts. The fines amounted to £11 14s.; but the expenses of the trial came to about half that sum. The fee allowed for summoning witnesses was not extravagant; it was five York shillings, or sixty-two and a half cents, at present currency." from pages 998 & 999 of Pioneer Life on the Bay of Quinte.⁹
