Convict Notes
The following convicts passed through Belfast from the gaol of Carrickfergus on Wednesday se'nnight, on their way for transportation to Botany Bay; Catharine Gleen for shop-lifting—John Davison, for burglary—William Stephenson, for stealing a bank note out an office in Belfast—James Crone for bleaching ground robbery—John Martin, for horse stealing—Andrew Girvin, for burglary, under his former sentence. He had been at Cork before, on his way to be transported; but on account of his youth was consigned to the captain of a West Indian trader, on condition of his never again appearing in Ireland. He soon robbed the captain of his watch and, in returning to Belfast, resumed his old trade. John Morrow, alias Murray, for having forged notes of the Bank of Ireland in his possession, for which he could not satisfactorily account. This was a very great offender in issuing forged notes to a considerable amount in the counties of Antrim, Armagh, Down and Derry. If he had escaped at Carrickfergus, bills of indictment were against him both in Armagh and Down for similar offences. Saunder’s News-Letter, 10 Aug 1810.

IRISH CRIME Catherine stole cloth and a heavy weight of pepper (one stone's worth i.e. 14 lb) with two others. Her female accomplice did not arrive in NSW, the male was acquitted. Belfast Newsletter, Friday 23 March 1810, p.4: “ANTRIM ASSIZES “Catherine GLYNN, Charlotte Campbell and Hugh QUIN were indicted for stealing two pieces of cloth from Wm. Adams, a piece of cloth from John Little, and a stone of pepper from Sam. Crawford, Portglenone. It appeared by the evidence that when the two women, Glynn and Campbell, were apprehended, the former was observed to drop the pepper, and one of the pieces of cloth was found concealed on her back below her cloak; they had left another piece of cloth at a house, and Campbell requested that it might not be given unless both were present. Glynn was found guilty on all the three charges: Campbell was found guilty of stealing the cloth from William Adams. No evidence appearing against Quin, he was acquitted.” * In 1814 Catherine Glynn, per Providence, Convict mustered in Sydney, off-stores. Assigned to Mrs Packer. _______________________________________
