In 1810 Joseph Halliday, the bandmaster of the Cavan militia, patented the keyed bugle, with five keys and a compass of twenty-five notes, calling it the "Royal Kent Bugle" out of compliment to the duke of Kent, who was at the time commander-in-chief, and encouraged the introduction of the instrument into the regimental bands.

Glimpses
- MacDonald, B. "The United Irish in South Ulster", The 16th Annual Fearghal O'Hanlon Memorial Lecture, Monaghan, 1997 in speaking of Lord Blayney, a Lieutenant Colonel Major in the 89th Regiment circa 1796:
- "Much of Blayney's efforts were concentrated in Armagh and Tyrone. In the Creggan area of south Armagh around the town of Forkhill, he boasted of the steps he had taken against the local population. Writing to Lord Glentworth in early June, he said:
I was told I could not go wrong; had information of three drills that night. Impossible to come across them ut no person was in their houses at 3 o'clock in the morning so I burned 22 houses and one man I had strong reason to suspect saw returning from those associations so rode up and cut him down. I burned the house and property of a leading man named Donaldson... I found a man had been attempting to corrupt a man of the Cavan Militia on parade... I sentenced the man to be flogged round the town [Forkhill]; suppose he received 300. It is useless crowding the jails. Advice - If you are disengaged and will take a trip down, you may see some amusement with those native and I can give you a tent. Our quarters are uncertain.''

- 24/11/1800 - CORK - Of the late atrocious murder committed near Carlisle-Fort , we have been able to collect the following particulars: - On Wednesday morning last, the unfortunate couple who were victims of this dreadful outrage, were discovered in their house, murdered. The man had been stabbed in the neck, as it appeared, with a bayonet, his skull cleft, and his brains dashed against the wall. The woman lacerated in several places, the least of which wounds were mortal. A Roman Catholic Clergyman who had appointed a Station there to hear confessions, &c., &c., had his vestments, which he had deposited in this house, destroyed, though the chalice was not taken away, but placed under the man's neck to receive the blood. - Truly happy are we in being able to state that through the activity of Colonel Fitzgerald, a clue has been discovered, which promises to lead to a knowledge of the inhuman perpetrators of this bloody deed. Friday a corporal and two soldiers of the Cavan militia were taken upon the evidence of a comrade, who appears to have been solicited by them to become a partner in this detestable deed. Upon their examination yesterday evening, before John Drury, Esq., of Cove, some circumstances have transpired which are of a nature so strong, together with the evidence against them, as to justify their committal for trial at the ensuing Assizes.
Stacy, Scanlan, Hamilton, and Cook, four soldiers of the Cavan Militia, were yesterday committed to the county gaol, charged with the above inhuman murder. - 27/11/1800 - CORK - TO MR. FLYN, - White-Well, November 26, 1800 - SIR, Having seen in your Paper, an account of a murder committed on Monday night, the 17th inst., in this neighbourhood, I think it necessary to send you a correct statement of the particulars, as I see by your publication you have been misinformed with respect to some.
The victims of this barbarous cruelty, were an industrious couple, John M'Carthy and Margaret his wife, who built a house adjoining the Chapel of Ballinvostig, in the Union of Ahada, where they extensively dealt in shop goods, until the above night, when the house was attacked by the ruffians mentioned in your paper, and plundered to a considerable amount, to which they added a crime horrid to relate, the circumstances were as follow:
I held a Station of confession at their house, on the day above mentioned, and left my Vestments there in order to be convenient to another place next day, this they have trampled, tried the Chalice with their teeth, but not finding it silver, flung it about the house in different pieces, being on screws; the Chasuble they flung into the fire and consumed the ashes, except a small part, which was by DIVINE PROVIDENCE preserved to be produced in evidence against them. By what appeared by the dead bodies and the evidence of others, the man was first struck with the butt end of a bayonet, his jaw being broke, got the blow of an oak bludgeon on the crown of his head, out of which his brains oozed, the scull being entirely fractured. By their own acknowledgement, they first attempted choaking the woman by leaning a knee on her chest; and after retiring from the house, they returned and accomplished their evil design, by strangling the poor woman with a handkerchief, and stabbing the man in the neck with a bayonet. Sufficient thanks cannot be given Col. Fitzgerald, for his timely exertions in discovering the perpetrators of this horrid deed, assisted by Thomas Travers, Esq., and another Magistrate of this place. - 1/12/1800 - CORK - This morning a Court Martial assembled in this City, on the trial of the four soldiers who were apprehended for the late atrocious murder near Carlisle Fort.
The above Court Martial broke up about one o clock, and from the confession of the culprits, it is though they were found guilty of the murder of M'Carthy and his wife near Whitewell in this County. - 4/12/1800 - CORK - Yesterday morning, William Stacey, Thomas Hamilton, and Joseph Cook, of the Cavan Militia, who were tried by a General Court Martial on Monday last for the murder of John M'Carthy and his wife, near White Gate, were conveyed from the New Gaol to the place where they committed the murder and executed. They were attended by the Rev. Mr. Fortescue. The fate of Scanlan, another of the men tried with them, is not yet known.
- 24/11/1800 - CORK - Of the late atrocious murder committed near Carlisle-Fort , we have been able to collect the following particulars: - On Wednesday morning last, the unfortunate couple who were victims of this dreadful outrage, were discovered in their house, murdered. The man had been stabbed in the neck, as it appeared, with a bayonet, his skull cleft, and his brains dashed against the wall. The woman lacerated in several places, the least of which wounds were mortal. A Roman Catholic Clergyman who had appointed a Station there to hear confessions, &c., &c., had his vestments, which he had deposited in this house, destroyed, though the chalice was not taken away, but placed under the man's neck to receive the blood. - Truly happy are we in being able to state that through the activity of Colonel Fitzgerald, a clue has been discovered, which promises to lead to a knowledge of the inhuman perpetrators of this bloody deed. Friday a corporal and two soldiers of the Cavan militia were taken upon the evidence of a comrade, who appears to have been solicited by them to become a partner in this detestable deed. Upon their examination yesterday evening, before John Drury, Esq., of Cove, some circumstances have transpired which are of a nature so strong, together with the evidence against them, as to justify their committal for trial at the ensuing Assizes.
