Convict Notes
Daniel Doyle, John Linden, James Foran, Ellen Doyle, Catherine Linden, and Alicia Foran, convicted of receiving goods stolen from the Messrs. Grey, Linen Hall-street, ware next brought up. The prisoner Ellen Doyle was so old and too ill able stand at the bar. She was besides with the other prisoners in the relation either of mother or mother-in-law. Mr. Justice Torrens addressed them, and said—You are severally convicted on a charge having feloniously received a quantity goods that were taken from the house the Messrs Grey, on the night of the 4th February. Saunders News-Letter, 14 Feb 1839. Daniel Doyle, John Linden, Catherine Linden, Alicia Foran, and James Foran, were sentenced to ten years’ transportation for having stolen property belonging to Messrs. Grey in their possession. An old woman, apparently about 80 years of age, named Ellen Doyle, was also found guilty for being an accomplice of the prisoners, but in consequence of her great age their lordships did not order her for transportation. They intimated their intention of taking time to consider what punishment they would inflict on her. Dublin Morning Register, 14 February 1839. The offence above seems to involved a whole family. Alicia and Catherine were sisters, both born in Kildare Co. John Lindon was the husband of Catherine, and James Foran was a son of Alicia Foran. It is possible that Daniel Doyle was a brother of Alicia and Catherine, and that the old lady, Ellen Doyle, was their mother. Alicia, ( with three children) and Catherine both arrived on Minerva, 1839; Catherine gave birth on the ship, but sadly she died in Parramatta Hospital at the beginning of March 1840.
