Convict Notes
John Quinn and Edward Shannon were sentenced together to death at the Dublin Commission, and the sentence was later commuted to Transportation for Life. Both men were transported on the Ann and Amelia. --------------------------------------------------- Commission Intelligence. William Johnson, convicted of highway robbery on the Donnybrook road; Thomas Ward, or Kavanagh, convicted of highway robbery, in the glen of Saggard; Thomas Flood, convicted of a burglary in the house of Mr. Brebner; and John Quinn and Edward Shannon, convicted of a burglary the house of Mr. Connery, were next put the bar. Judge Jebb put the black cap, and impressive manner pronounced the awful sentence of Death on the wretched men, and implored them to make the best use they could, the little time that would allotted them this world, to prepare for eternity. Whilst his Lordship was passing sentence, Ward said, “A long day, Lord.” When sentence was concluded, he groaned audibly, and said, “the Lord have mercy on us.” The prisoners were then led from the bar. They all appeared to feel deeply their wretched condition. Dublin Evening Mail, 7 Jan 1824. Westmeath Journal 15 Jan 1824
