Convict Notes
William Tench, a man, and two boys named Garrett Coughlan and William Wells, were tried for stealing, 11th July, four shoes from Mr. William Sullivan, shoe-maker, Stephen-street. Mr. Sullivan was awakened by a noise in his house about two o’clock that morning; he sprang up, got light, and looked to his shop, where he found middle shutter taken down, by the bar being started, no pin going through the shutter: a pane of glass had been removed, and some shoes had been taken from the window; he thinks that he lost from two to four pair; identifies four odd shoes, two of which Tench tried to sell, and one of each of the other two was sold each of the boys, in company, to Judith Mahony, Murphy’s-lane. Guilty—seven years’ transportation. Waterford Mail, 8 Aug 1827.
