Convict Notes
Moreton Bay Convict Register. Danl Stanford, per Phoenix 2, tried Fermagh, 11 Mar 1826, Larceny from the person, 7 years, Labourer & shoemaker. Colonial conviction: Gen Sess, Penryth, 26 Aug 1828, Absconding and assault 2 years. Returned to Sydney, 29 Aug 1830.
Daniel Stanford, Ellen McAloon and Anne Quin were indicted for robbing William M‘Dade of bank notes, on the night of 10th of June last. William M‘Dade, sworn.—Came to Enniskillen to purchase pigs on the 10th of June last; his money, which was in a purse, was taken from him by the prisoner, whom he identifies; he was going to his lodging between eleven and twelve o’clock at night and was knocked down near the church by Stanford; when down, the female prisoners held his hands until Stanford took the money out of his pocket; had drank only one glass; did not know Stanford before; it was a clear moon-light night, and he had a good opportunity of knowing him; when he got up he was again knocked down by Stanford. On his cross-examination he stated, that Stanford kicked when down, and Quin desired him not to kill the man. He had not been drinking with them, nor was not sitting with them, nor did he go down the lane with them. One Pound of the money was found with Stanford by a Police Sergeant next morning, and the remainder was got in a ditch. He did not ask to compromise the Quin’s father’s matter, but was applied to, and asked the advice of Mr. Shiel, the Parish Priest, who refused any interference respecting it, and desired the course of the law to be taken. Guilty. In pronouncing sentence, the Judge said it was fortunate for the prisoners that they were not indicted for a capital felony, as in that case their lives would have been the forfeit of their crime, which was nothing less than highway robbery. They were all sentenced to transportation for seven years.- The three prisoners are inhabitants of Enniskillen, and all young: one of the wretched girls not twenty years of age, and the other little above it, but the whole of them old in iniquity.
