Convict Notes
https://www.oldscottish.com/convict-records-6.html Margaret Flinn. Occupation, Unstated. Finnieston, Glasgow Tried: Glasgow, 29 Sep 1826, Transportation – 7 years; Per Princess Charlotte, 27 March 1827, New South Wales. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Janet Farrel alias Rosie Docherty, and Mary Vaughan, alias Sarah Vaughan, alias Sarah Watson or Devlin accused of uttering a forged note of the Bank of Scotland in a spirit cellar in Havannah Street, knowing it to be forged, pleaded Not Guilty. - The crime was brought home to the prisoners by the clearest and most satisfactory testimony, and the Jury accordingly found them Guilty. Margaret Flinn, Agnes Crtan, Edward Ronsey, and Peter Lannigan, who had been found Guilty of a like offence with Farrel and Vaughan, were brought up to receive sentence, and the six pannels were adjudged to transportation for the period of seven years each. The Lord Justice Clerk held out some hope to the prisoners that a commutation of their sentence might yet be made, provided they gave up the names of the individuals who supplied them with the forged notes. During the examination of the witnesses on the trial of the young woman Farrel, she behaved in a. very pert and unblushing manner, and stated that she received the forged note from a gentleman, but while the Judge was in the act of addressing her, along with the other pannels, she appeared to be completely subdued, and was observed to look with great earnestness to a female who was standing at the end of the jury box. When the sentence was pronounced, she burst into tears, and exclaimed aloud, Oh, my dear Sister, my dear Sister, which words were responded in agony by the other, who rushed out of the Hall uttering the most pitiful lamentation Glasgow Herald, 2 Oct 1826.
