Convict Notes
Conspiracy to Murder.— Monday morning, Alice Denness and Bartholomew Neill were given in charge for soliciting, and encouraging to kill and murder Mrs. Jane Trail ; and in a second count for conspiring, confederating, and combining together to commit said murder. It appeared, from the evidence, that Mr*. Trail is the widow of Surgeon Trail, the Royal Navy, who died about two years and half ago, and that she possesses considerable property. It was proved by Mary Morrisson, niece to the late Dr. Trail, and Johanna Horgan, servant to Mrs. Trail, that the accused had conspired together, and had influenced Mary Morrisson be a consenting party in the conspiracy to murder the lady. After a long trial, the prisoners were convicted, and sentenced to be transported for life. Southern Reporter, 9 April 1829. BARTHOLOMEW NEAL, aged 18 years, and ALICE BENNIS, a woman much advanced in years, were indicted for conspiring to murder Mrs. JANE TRAIL. They were both found Guilty, and sentenced to transportation for life. Sun, (London), 13 April 1829.
