Convict Notes
William Nunnery, Richard Long and John Prenderville, were indicted tor stealing a number articles of wearing apparel, and some money, the property of Dr Anthony Mann, Major James Wallis, and other persons. This was another group of the young boys of infamous habits, by which this City had been long infested. The articles were taken from Dr. Mann’s house which was entered after the family had retired at night, by raising the latch of the hall door. The principal witnesses against the prisoners was Mary Lynch, a prostitute, whom they engaged sell or pawn the articles, and John Nunnery, a younger brother of one of the prisoners, both of whom detailed particulars the affair, which left no room to doubt the guilt of Nunnery and Long, and they were accordingly found Guilty and sentenced to be transported for 7 years but the evidence against Prenderville being insufficient to connect him with the robbery, he was acquitted and discharged, after forcible admonition from the Court to his future conduct. James Gill was next indicted for receiving part of the articles in the preceding Southern Reporter, 23 Aug 1827.
