Biography

William Gilroy was a Canadian resident detained in the United States in proceedings involving assistance to Irish nationalists crossing the border.

Month-precision release corrected

The primary February 19 opinion, including its final order, and original letters and newspaper clippings reproduced in the labour-board record, were reviewed. The old February 1 placeholder preceded admission and is corrected without guessing an exact discharge. No private addresses or personal identifiers reproduced. Portrait unresolved.

Case

Charges: Immigration detention and conspiracy to bring aliens unlawfully into the United States
Arrested: Feb 6, 1982
Sentenced: Mar 28, 1983
Incarcerated: Feb 6, 1982
Released: February 1982
Sentence: Returned to Canada on bail in February 1982 MONTH. February 19 is only an earliest-bound storage placeholder, not an actual release day: the February 19 primary habeas opinion still describes detention. Its prospective February 22 bond hearing is not proof of actual discharge then. Contemporary letters and clippings reproduced in the Ontario labour-board record establish actual return during February. The March 28, 1983 time-served sentence is not evidence of continuous custody through that day.
