Convict Notes
1842, 25 September: John MALONE, per Neptune, died at Port Macquarie Hospital (see New South Wales, Australia, Convict Death Register, 1826-1879).
1838: On arrival in NSW, John Maloney, a Roman Catholic, was 23, single, and could not read or write. A native of Co Roscommon, he was described as "an errand boy and useful in a coach house". He had been sentenced at Antrim, on 30 June 1837, to 7 years for stealing a handkerchief. John also had a previous conviction, resulting in a prison term of 6 months. He was described as 5'4¼", pale and freckled with red hair, grey eyes and a "weak intellect" (see New South Wales, Australia, Convict Indents, 1788-1842; Non-Annotated Printed Indentures 1838).
1837, 17 August: John MOLONY was admitted to Kilmainham Gaol, Dublin, from Antrim (prisoner #684). He had been tried on 30 June 1837, convicted by P Fogarty Esq and had a sentence of "death recorded". [Note: This is probably an error as there are two other corrections to entries about his trial. A term of 7 years is listed in the Convict Indents.] He was described as 20, 5’6” tall with grey eyes, fair hair and a fair complexion. 1837, 26 August: Discharged from Kilmainham to be “embarked on the convict ship Neptune” (see Ireland, Prison Registers, 1790-1924; Dublin, Kilmainham 1815-1910).
