Mary Coogan, alias Pimble, an elderly looking dame, with a dashing Leghorn bonnet and trimmings, was brought up by a policeman, on a charge of absconding from her husband, Mr. Pimble. It appearing that Mary had absconded from Argyle, where her lord (Mr. Pimble) resided, she was forwarded to the Bench of Magistrates in that District to be dealt with. Sydney Herald, 12 May 1834.
