Convict Notes
Sessions Court. Patrick Murray, John Sinnott and Agnes White were indicted with having stolen a pocket handkerchief, from a gentleman, of the name of Johnson. The evidence was conclusive against the prisoners; and they were accordingly convicted. The Recorder, in passing sentence apprized the convicts that they were well known to the Court as notorious said, that it would be mockery justice to permit them to remain in this country any longer to practice their habitual crimes. The sentence of the Court therefore was, that they should be severally transported beyond the seas for seven years, during the passing of this sentence, the convicts muttered imprecations, and when the Recorder concluded, they gave vent to their wrath in loud yells and blasphemies. One of them (Murray) at this juncture, stooped down in the dock, uttering words which were to persons at any distance from the bar. A policeman, who had been stationed near the dock, rushed forward and, raising his stick, was about to strike the man. The Recorder commanded him to desist. The policeman paused for a moment, but the next instant used his stick, rather in the way of pushing, than striking Murray. The Recorder ordered him to leave the Court. He accordingly retired, endeavouring to explain (but in indistinct terms) his reason for the violence he had recourse to. The most furious yells of exultation were raised in the dock, and responded to in the gallery, before he went from the Court. It was subsequently explained that the policeman was provoked to use his stick against Murray, to prevent him from hurling his shoe at shoe at the Recorder. Saunders News-Letter, 21 June 1832.
