Convict Notes
Irish Convict Database, by Peter Mayberry. Peter Hanlon, age on arrival, 33, per Lord Eldon, 1817. Tried 1816 at Ayr Court of Justiciary, Scotland, 14 years. DOB, 1785, native place, Down Co. Trade, Weaver linen.
The following article appeared in the Glasgow Herald of 7 October, 1816, under the heading CIRCUIT INTELLIGENCE, Ayr, September 26: - "The Circuit Court of Judiciary was opened at Ayr by Lord Pitmilly on Tuesday last. After the accustomed formula, PETER HANLON was placed at the bar, and accused of stealing several articles of clothing from the house of James Gordon, innkeeper, Newton Stewart; and also a horse from the farm of Inchmalloch. The pannel having pleaded guilty, the libel was restricted. After a verdict of guilty was returned, the judge pronounced sentence, banishing him beyond the seas for 14 years; assuring him, at the same time, that the restriction of the libel, and the consequent lenient sentence, were more attributed to his conduct since his apprehension, and on his trial, than to the nature of the crime itself.
