The Recorder, in passing sentence upon the prisoners, said, that one of of the prisoners, Mary Masterson, it was well known, kept a house to the Richmond Penitentiary, in which she received the boys whose period of incarceration had expired, and who, under her instruction, became still more hardened in crime than they had been before they knew her. The court had, under such circumstances, no hesitation in transporting her for seven years. Dublin Morning Register, 13 Oct 1830.
