Convict Notes
From the sick book of the Earl Grey 1836: Michael Coyle, aged 35, Convict: disease or hurt, dysenteria scorbutica. Put on sick list, 16/9/1836. Died 14/10/1836. Michael Coyle and his brother, John Coyle, had both been convicted of ‘shooting at the person’ in the last Spring assizes and had been farmers beforehand. The conviction had affected Michael Coyle’s mind, which had become ‘wandering and continually dwelt upon an only son whom he had left behind. He was greatly emaciated when he embarked but with no appearance of any organic affection. His appetite fell off and before the middle of September he showed symptoms of scurvy.
