1. Thomas Brűlé (Find-a-Grave). Thomas Brule was a blacksmith with his shop in the By Market, Bytown (Ottawa). He was accused, as well as George Wallingford of the murder by firearm of David Borthwick during the riots of "Stony Monday" of September 17, 1849, riots that opposed the Tories and the Reformers (Patriots) during a meeting whose goal was to prepare for the coming of the governor.

2. Stony Monday Riot (Wikipedia). In April 1849, the Rebellion Losses Bill passed in the House of Assembly by 47 to 18, compensating Lower Canadians for losses suffered during the Rebellions of 1837-38. The bill was unpopular with Loyalists, known as Tories, because it compensated those who had participated in the rebellion unless they had been convicted of treason. In response to this bill, the Stony Monday Riot took place in Bytown (now Ottawa), Ontario on Monday September 17, 1849. The two political factions, armed with cannons, muskets and pistols faced off on the Sappers Bridge over the Rideau Canal, but the military arrived in time to defuse the situation.
