Forty seven year old Patrick Judge was a former soldier who was sentenced to death at Newcastle Assizes for the murder of his wife, Jane. They lived unhappily together at Walker-on-Tyne, and on Saturday 9 July, they had a disagreement that ended with Judge pulling out a revolver and shooting her twice in the head. He was hanged by James Berry on the 16th November 1886 at Newcastle.
