Hugh Anderson, an Irishman, who had been the day before liberated from Ayr jail, on condition of banishing himself into the country, was recommitted on charges of having broken into church at Maybole, the night after he was discharged, and taken a number of workmen's tools, and also into a house in Maybole. and carrying away several articles. Since his recommittal, some persons from Belfast have claimed him, for having got out of of the jail there, where he was remanded on a criminal charge. The inside of a church and not the outside of a jail has been given as a good wish, but we doubt whether this man will reflect with much satisfaction on his experience of either, if the allegations be true. Aberdeen Press and Journal, 31 Aug 1808. Hugh Anderson, accused of entering a church in the town of Maybole, and stealing tberefrom a number of tools belonging to carpenters working in said church. The pannel confessed his guilt, and received sentence of transportation for the term of seven years.
