Convict Notes
Holywell Bank Forgery.—On Saturday week, Margaret Boyle and Catherine Kewley were committed to Lancaster, charged with uttering forged notes of the Holywell Bank. From a slight information, the nefarious practice was traced, through all its ramifications, to the satisfactory identity of the prisoners; and the first information which the banker at Holywell had of the business was from one of the notes transmitted to him from the Liverpool Police-office. Few discoveries of this kind have managed and pursued with greater ingenuity and perseverance; and we trust, that, from its being so promptly brought home to the principals, the public will be protected from the intended fraud. Chester Courant, 4 Feb 1823. Lancaster Assizes. Margaret Boyle, 26, and Catherine Kewley, 28, for uttering to Wm. Lace, at Liverpool, three forged Flintshire bank notes, for one pound each. Lancaster Gazette, 29 March 1823. Forgery on the Holywell and Flintshire Bank. Six persons who were concerned in uttering forged notes, purporting to be the notes of Messrs. Sankey, of Holywell, have already been convicted and received sentence of death, viz. Elizabeth Evans and Jane Cavannah, at the Chester City Court; Margaret Boyle and Catherine Kewley. at Lancaster; and John Small and Archibald McAlister, at the Chester Assizes. Lancaster Gazette, 19 April 1823. Before the judge left Lancaster, he was pleased to reprieve all the prisoners who had been capitally convicted. Manchester Guardian, 12 April 1823.
