The Hanging Judge, Lord Norbury, claimed some of the credit for breaking up the Moll Doyles as we learn from a recent posting from Turtle Bunbury - - The Times, July 28, 1823, p. 2: LORD NORBURY AND THE IRISH MIRACLE.- At the opening of the Queen's County Assizes, Lord Norbury, in charging the Grand Jury, alluded to the recent miracle of Prince Hohenloe performed in that county. " If," said his Lordship, " a female has been brought to the recovery of her speech in this county, God be praised but as great a miracle has been performed in another county (Carlow), where Moll Doyle has been made perfectly silent !" (Shouts of laughter.). He was glad to see even the humblest men in the community laugh when he talked of " the miracle!"

Does anyone know how I can find a death record for Edward Dempsey of Ballyoliver, County Carlow? The rest of the family emigrated in 1851 so he apparently died before that. His wife was Sarah Keating Dempsey. Tom Quinn

Karen, it would appear that little Michael Conran was an inmate of the Carlow Union ( Workhouse ) at the time the waistcoat went missing. If it is any consolation to you I believe his living conditions would have improved upon being transferred from the Workhouse to Carlow Gaol !. During your next visit to Carlow I suggest you check for ref to Michael in the Workhouse Minute Books for the period.

[ Note added 2012 . There is reference to "huzza for Moll Doyle" in the following report - obviously the McGrath family have upset some local members of this "Secret Society" -. which according to the " Dublin Evening Post" members of the Moll Doyles were considered to be "burglars, robbers and murderers but not rebels" The "Moll Doyles" were one of the many secret societies operating during this period. They were feared by most of the population. In Donal McCartney's book "The Dawning of Democracy 1800 - 1870" (page 93) we read for the period 1821 : "A group calling itself the "Moll Doyles" was appearing in arms in Rathvilly, Co. Carlow, and attacking the houses of tenants who had offended against their agrarian code. A gang of thirty or forty had burned a house in King's County, shot a man, driven a bayonet in the eye of a woman and tried to cut out her tongue - she died the next day from her injuries and her mother died a few days later from shock. ". Transcribed and checked by Lisa Shaw, June 2012. Pat Purcell Papers. 1820. The King against John Neill, Pat Neill, Philip Neill, Philip Barron, James Bryan, and Robert Holmes. (Spring Assizes 1820.) The Information of Anne McGrath of Drumphea in Carlow, Spinster. Who being duly sworn and examined saith that between the hours of two and three o'clock on Sunday morning, last, the 20th February 1820, the dwelling house of her father / John McGrath / at Drumphea was attacked by a pary of men who commenced by forcing the stones out of the lower gable end wall. Anne McGrath got up out of bed, went to the kitchen and lit a candle ; shortly afterwards a break was made in the house and John Neill and Patrick Neill sons of Michael Neill. Philip Neill son to the widow Neill, Philip Barron, James Bryan and Robert Holmes all of Drumphea, entered the house and approached to where Anne McGrath stood ; Philip Neill and James Bryan with hand pikes and Philip Barron with an iron crow bar ; Anne McGrath entreated of them to spare her and her mother's life / her father was away from home / and the answer she received was a general huzza for Moll Doyle. They drove Anne back into the bed room by throwing stones and a ribbing which had formed part of the roof of the house, at her ; where she took shelter under the bed, bringing with her a child that her mother had been nursing for her ; and her mother sought protection in a cupboard in the wall of the room , the attacking party then proceeded from the outside of the house to throw in the adjoining gable end wall and cast the stones of five feet of the upper part of it into the room, for the purpose as Anne McGrath believes, of burying her and her mother under the ruins and when they considered that they had sufficiently effected their object, the attacking party departed [ page torn ] . Anne McGrath and her mother got permission to shelter themselves in the house of Patrick Doyle contiguous to their own house and early on Monday morning when Anne McGrath got up she saw the dwelling house she had been obliged to desert, in flames nearly consumed which must have been maliciously set on fire as she had on the evening before carefully removed from it every vestige of fire ~~ (signed) Ann McGrath. Sworn before me this 22nd February 1820 (signed) Frances Dillon..

Thanks for this, Mick. I'm shocked to see that Michael Conran, "a little boy" would be tried in court, sent to jail, and whipped! That he is described as "little" is particularly disturbing! I know things were different back then...but still... Of all the articles you've posted re the Assizes, I can't recall any others involving little children. There must have been more to Michael's story...

Re Convicts to Australia. Hi Turtle, Convicts were sent to Van Diemen's Land (Tasmania ) until 1852 and to Western Australia until 1868, so there was plenty of time for them to join us!

Turtle, Mick has it about right but as usual such matters were not cut and dried. Have a look at this informative official site - http://australia.gov.au/about-australia/australian-story/convicts-and-the-british-colonies [1]. As you have to expect, ''British Convicts" includes the 24% who were Irish. It has become a badge of honour in Australia to uncover convict ancestry. Mine relates to my mother's Scottish highlands ggggrandfather who, by common consent, was falsely accused by a neighbour that stood to gain by his removal. But all worked out well, for me, when his great grandson married a Dublin born wife whose mother came from Co Carlow. To further round out but one of the range of possibilities that made up Australia, my father's paternal ancestor came from East Yorkshire and became a military surgeon, met and married a lass from Co Mayo while deployed to Ireland and had their first son in Dublin. Later children were born near Portsmouth while he was engaged in the Peninsula campaigns. That son, following the military tradition, married a Welsh minister's daughter while on station in Mauritius and later, after having been stationed in Ireland, commanded a troop in charge of a convict ship to Hobart Town in 1845. On board were his wife and (then) 5 children. They, as with so many, liked what they saw and decided to stay. A son of their Sydney born 9th child, late in his life, married a daughter of a family that had emigrated from Co Armagh. Their son, my father, with an English patrimony but already more than half Irish, married a daughter of the Dublin born, half Carlow, lass above. And so the circle was squared.

We simply transcribe the case and sentence, if the sentence of Transportation was passed ( and there were many during this period ) we can be sure the Judge, Magistrates, Justices of the Peace or Barristers of the day knew the law.

[ Note added 2012. According to the Pat Purcell Papers the Officers and men of the 71st Regiment, Scottish Division, were responsible for establishing a Fire Brigade Service in Carlow. For many years the only Fire Brigade service for County Carlow was the Fire Brigade division stationed in the Carlow British Military Barracks, the soldiers responded many times to fires in the Carlow area. For many years the Officer in charge was the aptly named Captain Dashwood. In 1850 the 71st Regiment obtained permission to present their Fire equipment to the people of Carlow. ] The Carlow Sentinel. January 1850. FESTIVITIES IN CARLOW BARRACKS. The detachment of the 71st Regiment stationed in Carlow Barracks, ushered in the New Year amid much mirth and rejoicing, combined with substantial fare on Tuesday evening last. Each Barrack room was tastefully decorated with laurels and other evergreens. In one of the rooms were the portraits of the Duke of York, the Duke of Wellington, and Lord Hill. At 5 o'clock the men assembled in the several rooms and partook of dinner, which consisted of roast beef, plum pudding, with abundance of wines etc. About 9 o'clock dancing commenced to the music of the Scotch bagpipes, fiddle, etc., when Scotch reels and the Highland Fling were kept up with unabated ardour to a late hour, amid good feeling and harmony. The 8th Hussars very kindly undertook the duty of the garrison on that day, to enable the 71st to enjoy themselves.

The Carlow Sentinel. 16th July 1849. FORTUNATE DISCOVERY. A few weeks since Mr George W. Anderson, of this town, lost a sum of £700, which it was generally believed was dropped on the Railway. Large rewards had been offered, but without effect. On yesterday however, a servant, while brushing an outside coat felt something like a small parcel at the bottom of the coat, protected only by the lining. On further examination, the above sum was found ; the parcel, it appears, having fallen through the pocket, and was carefully deposited on the seam between the cloth and the lining. It is unnecessary to add, that we feel peculiar pleasure in detailing the particulars of this fortunate discovery.

I guess no one told the Carlow Magistrates about non-acceptance of "transported convicts" in Australia as they continued to sentence the convicted to Transportation and Transported them up to the 1850s !......
