Convict Notes
Joseph Crispin was indicted for stealing fifteen pair of shoes, the property of Mr. George DAGG. on the night of the 18th Jan. 1828. The prosecutor’s shop on Bachelor's Quay was broken into, and the shoes were stolen out of it. He found pair of them, which were now produced, in the Pawn office of Mr. Cocker, in Peter’s Church lane. Eliza Barry deposed that the prisoner brought the shoes into her house, and she lent him her apron to take them in, and accordingly he went away and took them Wise’s ..., where she and her daughter followed him, and saw him take the shoes. Witness’s son was engaged in it with the prisoner, and was convicted and transported at the last Assizes for the offence, but it was the prisoner who brought him into it. Eli Gough, daughter of the last witness, deposed, that she saw large quantity of shoes, which the prisoner brought into her house, and which afterwards took away in an apron. The prisoner sent her brother with pair of woman’s shoes, in to Mr. Cocker’s, to pawn for half a crown. William Martfield, clerk to Mr. Cocker, deposed, that Barry took the shoes into the office to pawn, and he stopped the shoes and detained the boy. Mary Buckley knew the prisoner, who met her in the Main-street, and he asked her to near Sunday’s Well, where he had parcel of shoes in a check apron, which she took with him . Barry’s to a friend's house, and she left the parcel there. The Learned Sergeant left the case to the Jury, which he thought was clear not to require any observation from him in the nature of charge. The Jury instantly returned a verdict of Guilty, and after few brief remarks on the conduct of the prisoner, who it was that brought the unfortunate boy Barry, to his destruction. and was the means of his being transported—the sentence of the Court therefore was, that he should to keep him company for a period of Years.
