Deimhniú ar 15 Nollaig 1882 ó Ghobharnóir an phríosúin, George Mason, chuig na h-údaráis gur crochadh Patrick Joyce, Patrick Casey agus Maolra Seoighe, níos luaithe an lá sin Declaration of 15th December 1882 to the authorities from the Prison Governor that Patrick Joyce, Patrick Casey and Myles Joyce were hanged earlier that day.
    2. An diúltú a thug beirt bhreitheamh d'iarratas ar 14 Nollaig 1882 gan Maolra Seoighe a chrochadh. Tá na focail "The law must take its course" lámhscríofa ar an gcáipéis.

Arís: "The law must take its course." The telegram from Lord Spencer at the Vice Regal Lodge of 15th December 1882 rejecting the plea and the new evidence and ordering the implementation of the sentence of hanging Myles Joyce. Again we find the words "The law must take its course."
    4. Admháil ó Ghobharnóir an phríosúin go raibh an diúltú faighte aige i dtaca le crochadh Mhaolra Seoighe. Acknowledgement from the Prison Governor of receipt of the rejection concerning Myles Joyce.

    6. Nóta ó Anthony Philbin i príosún Chill Mhaighneán a bhí ar dhuine acu sin a cúisíodh i ndúnmharaithe Mhám Trasna chuig dlíodóir an stáit. Chinn sé ina dhiaidh sin fianaise a thabhairt ar son an stáit ina aghaidh na ndaoine eile a bhí cúisithe. A note from Anthony Philbin in Kilmainham Gaol, who was one of those accused of the Maamtrasna murders to the Crown Solicitor. He decided after that to become a witness for the Crown against the other accused.
    7. Dearbhú i scríbhinn sínithe ag daoine (an gobharnóir agus séiplíneach an phríosúin san áireamh) a bhí i láthair ar an ócáid gur crochadh an triúr: Patrick Joyce, Patrick Casey agus Maolra Seoighe. The written declaration, signed by witnesses (The Prison Governor and Chaplin among them), at the hanging of the three, Patrick Joyce, Patrick Casey and Myles Joyce.
    8. Tuairisc an choiste cróinéara ar bhas Patrick Casey. The report of the coroner's court on the death of Patrick Casey.

    8a Tuairisc an choiste cróinéara ar bhas Mhaolra Seoighe. The report of the coroner's court on the death of Myles Joyce.

    Myles Joyce: "...strangulation being the result of hanging."

    9. An chéad teileagram faoi dhúnmharaithe Mhám Trasna ó stáisiún RIC Chonga go Caisleán Bhaile Átha Cliath. Níl sé ró-easca é seo a léamh mar sinn tá na focal anseo: The first telegram reporting the Mamtrasna murders from Cong RIC Barracks to Dublin Castle. This document is not too easy to read so the text is given here:
    From the Sub Inspector, Cong R.I.C. to Dublin Castle (18 Aug 1882)
    "Report recd., here that last night John Joyce, his wife, mother and daughter were murdered & two boys wounded in their own house at Maamtrasna, Finny. Am starting for the scene."
    10. An mhír ón tuairisc oifigiúil cúirte ar chaint Mr Justice Barry agus e ag gearradh pionós an bháis ar Mhaolra Seoighe. The section from the official court report on the address of Mr Justice Barry as he passed the sentance of death on Myles Joyce.
