DOB, 1768, Native place, Cork Co., Trade, Ploughman. ---------------------------------------------------- Although Peter Moony was on the list of men to be transported on Mangles, it appears that he did not board the ship. -------------------------------------------------- SHIP’S CAPTAIN’S CERTIFICATE 21 June, 1822 from Cove of Cork “I do hereby acknowledge to have received on board the ship Mangles, one hundred and eighty nine male convicts to be conveyed to N. S. W agreeably to the charter party of said ship. The names of said one hundred and eighty nine prisoners with the counties from where sent are specified in the list handed to me by Doctor Trevor, each convict being supplied in Ireland as follows: one jacket, one pair of trousers, one pair of shoes, one shirt, one pair of stockings, one cap or hat, one brush and comb, one towel, thread and needles and a bag to hold spare articles. I also received two reams of writing paper, one dozen spelling books, twenty-four primmers, two gallons of ink, two dozen of slates, three dozen of pencils, two pounds of quills, seven pounds of itch ointment, four lbs of sulphur powder, seven pounds of hog’s lard, one pound of…… in powder, two pounds sulphate of magnesium, one pound of [….] aloes, three ounces of licorice of columbo. I further acknowledge to have received from Dr. Trevor, the Lord Lieutenant’s warrant with a list of the names of said one hundred and eighty nine specifying the crimes, the trial and terms of transportation and a description of the person of each, to be delivered by me to the Governor of N.S.W. which warrant & list were put into a tin case & sealed by Dr. Trevor in my presence. Given under my hand on board the Mangles convict ship in Cove, this 21st day of June, 1822. J W Coghill Commander, Ship Mangles P.S. to the Captain’s acceptance letter on Mangles (Reel AO2424) “No such name as Peter Mooney, County Tipperary in Penitentiary House at Cork in the List of Names with the Lord Lieutenant’s warrant received this date. The complement of convicts for the Ship Mangles is one short and the delay that would be required to communicate with the Government to have the name of another convict to be embarked, would be very expensive to the public. Cove of Cork 21 June, 1822 Edward Trevor MD Superintendent of the Embarkation of Convicts. ---------------------------------------------------- Mangles Indent: Peter Mooney, Tried at Tipperary Spec.
