Hugh Boyle, sentenced at Monaghan, was transported on Marquis Cornwallis arriving in NSW in February 1796, sentenced for seven years. He had first been sentenced to be hanged, for 11 May 1795. IRISH CRIME: Belfast Newsletter, Monday 13 April 1795, p. 2 "Monaghan Assizes "Hugh Boyle found guilty of burglariously breaking, and feloniously taking out of the dwelling house of Robert Shaw, at Gubduff, one gun, was ordered to be hanged on 11th May next. "Said Hugh acquitted of feloniously assaulting said house, and other felonies." It sounds as though Hugh Boyle's crime may have been part of the Defender movement, which was strong in the mid 1790's in the north of Ireland, and members often gathered arms by burgling houses which had arms in them. List of Convicts 1792-96, on Marquis Cornwallis lists: Hugh Boyle, as aged 21, tried in County Monaghan in March 1795, for a term of seven years. Hugh Boyle DIED only one month after arriving in NSW in February 1796. His burial is recorded in the St Phillips Church of England Burial Register for 21st March 1796.
