Irish Convict Database, by Peter Mayberry. James Costello, age on arrival, 22, per Mangles (2) 1822, Tried at Mayo. 1822, Life. DOB, 1800, Native place, Mayo Co., Trade, Labourer. -------------------------------------------------- James Costello, age 22, Offence: Administering unlawful oaths. Life. Tried Spring Ass. 1822, Mayo. Trade, Labourer. (From Indent) -------------------------------------------------- COUNTY MAYO. Five of the persons who have been apprehended Ribbonmen in the Barony of Kilmain, have been committed to the county gaol in this town, by Alex. Clendinning, Esq. The others are still detained in Ballinrobe, for further examination. The names of those who are fully committed for trial are James Costello, Michael Burke, John Jennings, Murty Farraher, and Thomas Donoghue. The two former are charged with having acted as leaders at a Ballinafad, and also with having, as such administered illegal oaths—and the three are charged with giving attended the Ballinafad, and assisted in administering the unlawful oaths. This much are able to collect from the committal, but we have heard from Brother source, that some of those men were amongst the most active promoters of ribbonism; that there is reason to hope their apprehension will lead to the restoration of peace and good order in the barony of Kilmain; and (what we are very ready to believe) that this advantage has been obtained by the well judged and well executed plans of Mr. Alexander Clendining.
