Convict Notes
Louth Assizes. … Patrick Connor, whose countenance was any thing but prepossessing, was indicted for stealing four ducks, the property of Catherine Dowdall, on the 26th April last. Prosecutor sworn —She lost four ducks in April; does not know who took them, but knows where she got them ; the ducks wore worth 7d. a piece; the man she found them with said his name was Paddy Connor; he is the prisoner at the bar. Guilty. The prisoner was afterwards indicted for stealing coat, cloak, and quantity of yarn, the property of Thomas Carr, of Dunshaughlin, who had out of charity given him lodging. He was found guilty of this charge also. The learned Judge then said, the prisoner was common marauder, and the sentence of the Court therefore was that the prisoner be transported beyond the seas for seven years. Drogheda Journal, 31 July 1830.
