Irish Convict Database, by Peter Mayberry. Patrick Cody, alias Coady, age 25, Per Java, 1833, Tried Kilkenny, 1833, 7 years for Fire arms. White Boy rebel. DOB, 1808, native place, Kilkenny Co. Single. Catholic. Trade: Servant farm. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The following persons—15 in number—left our County (Kilkenny) jail at an early hour Thursday morning, escorted by strong military party, on their way to the Cove of Cork, to put on board the Hulk there, previous to transportation :—Nicholas Tobin, found guilty of attacking the police under command of Major Browne—to transported for life. Stephen Brennan, for highway robbery—like sentence. Patrick Farrell and Richard Lynum, for assaulting Policeman—like sentence. Patrick Mullally, John Madigan, William Lalor, Michael Comerford, and John Fennelly, for administering unlawful oaths and other Whitefoot offences —like sentence. James Butler, Edmond Dowling, Martin Brennan, and Patrick Cody, for attacking the dwellinghouse of the Rev. John Kearney—to transported for 7 years. Patrick Kennedy and William Egan, for attacking Michael Brennan, near Jenkinstown, like sentence. The above convicts, (10 out of in the county and 5 in the city, sentenced for transportation our late assizes) are, as yet the only prisoners ordered proceed to Cork. Why is this? We understand that Cody, one the four persons taken in arms Mr. Coburn, C.C., at the gate of Flood Hall, immediately preceding our late assizes, and sentenced transportation for that offence, has been respited. His associates are amongst the number of those enumerated above as having been transmitted to Cork. We are not aware in what respect the offence Cody is distinguishable from that of his companions in arms. He is, however, nearly related to a Priest at Thomastown —Kilkenny Moderator.
