James Louge of the 40th Regiment was a witness against Jacob Sorenson, William Molloy and Patrick Howard and said “I belong to the party at the attack on the 3rd Inst.

Reminiscences
Leo Howard, grandson of Patrick Howard, attended the 150th anniversary of the Eureka Stockade in 2004 in memory of his grandfather, who was arrested after the Eureka battle, but was released without going to trial. According to Leo Howard "A trooper took his musket up to fire at my grandfather Patrick as he stood outside his tent in the early hours of the morning. Patrick leapt for his gun but fortunately for him, and possibly for me, there was a body of diggers who burst out of the tent that he slept in. The trooper fired at the men as they burst out but Patrick couldn't fire because he had no powder in his gun.[10]
