Convict Notes
THURSDAY, 6th. Margaret Quinn pleaded guilty to the charge of stealing Bibles, linen and other articles from three several Churches. She was cautioned against putting her plea, but she persisted, saying, that she would not tell a lie, and then began to cry. Mr. Justice Moore observed, that it was a strange kind morality to fear tell a lie, and yet rob a church . Mary Dunlevy was tried for receiving part of the stolen property, which she pledged in pawnbroker's in Meath-street. The clerk of Glasnevin church proved that the two Bibles produced belonged to the church. One of them belonged the Delville pew. Mr. Justice Moore said, that there was something classical associated with that name. Dean Swift and Doctor Delany used to sit in that pew. It was called so from the place where the latter lived. The sextoness proved that the books were in the church on certain Sunday, and that she missed them the Friday following. Guilty. Dublin Morning Register, 7 Jan 1825.
1828 Census Index. There are 2 consecutive entries,as follows: John Quin, age 30, G.S. Mariner, 1825, 7 years, catholic, Nurse, Thomas Walker, Concord district. Margaret Quin, age 53, G.S. Guildford 1827, life, catholic, tailor, Stephen Coxen, Dartbrook, Durham district. I think the clerk has made a mistake and swapped the first names, and the entry for John Quin, actually applies to Margaret Quin.
