First Name: Margaret
Ship: -
Date: 15 June 1835
Place: Newcastle
Source: Newcastle Court of Petty Sessions, Bench Books, 1833-1836 (Ancestry)
Details: Francis Walker per Lady Nugent, Ann Fox per Caroline and Mary Carr per Asia all assigned to Rev. Wilton charged - the two females with being absent from the premises at night without leave and drunkenness and the male prisoner for prevarication and aiding and abetting. Rev. Wilton testified .. between the hours of eight and nine my attention was directed to a noise in the nursery. On going within I found the prisoner Carr laying on the ground drunk and my free female servant in the act of picking up a large knife from the ground which she stated Carr had followed after her out of the kitchen in a threatening manner. I removed her with assistance into the kitchen in a room adjoining to which the prisoner Fox was laying drunk on a bed. The prisoner Walker first stated he knew nothing about their absence. He afterwards said he did, evidently prevaricating for before I heard the noise in the nursery I had heard the garden gate shut and on asking him who had come in he said he did not know but that he had been for coal which is in different part of the premises. My free female servant Mary Maloney had told him to inform me of their absence but he did not do so and I have every reason to believe that he knew of their intended absence and introduced the spirits. Mary Maloney then testified - I went into the kitchen yesterday evening to light a candle I saw the three servants (the prisoners) at the table doing something. When they saw me they ran away and when I came back again they were quarrelling about some tobacco. Carr went into the town and stayed about quarter of an hour. She came again and went down after putting on a cap the second time the two female servants left together. They were both drunk when they came home and the moment Carr saw me she took up a knife and ran after me which made a noise where my master came in. They said they were going to Mrs. Brunker s shop to get some tobacco when they went out they had the spirits before they went out. After the tobacco they were all there drinking at the table in the kitchen. It was rum they were drinking. I could tell by the smell. They wished me to go into the town with them. Carr did not intend to hurt me with the knife but I was afraid. I did not see any vessel out of which she drank. Mrs. McGreavey then testified that she confident the prisoners were not in her shop the evening before Charles Watkins then testified that directly after tea the previous evening the prisoner Carr came to his house to ask for milk.. I found that Mr. Wilton had received his milk and told her I had none. The prisoner seemed in a very confused state. I think she was tipsy....Guilty - Mary Carr sentenced to 21 days in the cells and returned to govt. service. Fox sentenced to six hours in the stocks and her hair to be cut off. Male prisoner admonished and discharged.
