James Tracy, a footman in the service of Sir
William Leeson over three and a half years,
chamberlain of the Dublin Castle, was charged with an attempt to murder Susan
Lloyd (about 24 years of age), a housemaid from England in the same service for about three and a
half years...The prisoner...razor...spattered with blood, seemed to be about
thirty years of age, of the middle stature, and by no means prepossessing
appearance...Jealousy, it was supposed was the motive...It appeared that he had
been persuing her for the past eight months...he had
written a letter to his master stating his intention to leave the next
day...The jury retired, and after an absence of ten minutes returned a verdict
of guilty on the count for wounding, with intent to do grevious
bodily harm, but acquitted him on the capital charge...[sentenced to
transportation for life].
July 2, 1840 The Connaught Journal
ATTEMPT AT MURDER IN DUBLIN CASTLE.
James Tracy was placed at
the bar, charged with that he, on the 21st day of May last, did wilfully,
maliciously, unlawfully and feloniously assault one Susan Lloyd, and cut and
wound here with a razor, with intent to murder her. He was also charged in
another count with having committed the act with intent to disable here and do
her grievous bodily harm.
Mr. Monaghan, Q.C. and Mr. M'Kane conducted the case
on the part of the Crown.
Mr. J. Walsh attended as counsel for the prisoner.
Susan Lloyd was examined, and described the occurrence, as it has already
appeared before the public.
Miss Rochford, the governess in Sir William Leeson's family, corroborated her testimony in several
particulars.
Dr. Riud
proved the nature of the wounds, which were not sufficient to cause immediate
death.
The prisoner was found guilty of the minor charge, but acquitted of the capital
felony.

man named Tracy, had resolved to murder Mr. Mortimer, in order to prevent an ejectment being served on the Dowlings.
The murder was effected with a pitchfork in the open
day, within a few yards of the town of Freshford. The
jury acquitted the Dowlings seeming to believe that
it was the approver and Tracy, who were the real offenders.
20 July
1844 (TH) Caught at Last
The
trial of Michael and John Tracy took place at the county quarter sessions on
Friday last. They were found guilty of stealing ??? and killing a lamb, the property of Mr. Reachan[?]
of Killashutan[?]. The Assistant-Barrister, NP
O'Gorman Esq. sentenced each of them to transportation for ten years. These
unfortunate convicts and their gang have disturbed the peace of this county for
a considerable length of time. The murder of Hayne was committed by assassins
sent from their house; and it has been proved that they managed and directed
the murder of Mortimer also. Their house has been a rendezvous for desperate
and abandoned characters, who lived on stolen mutton
and plunder of every kind. -It is said the landlord has given directions to
have this abomination levelled with the ground. - Kilkenny Journal

Margaret
Behan was tried for arson in Kildare in 1849 and arrived in VDL on the 'Earl
Grey' in 1850. Her brothers, John and Thomas, were living at her NP, Kildare.
She stated that she committed the offence in order to join John Tracey who had been transported about twelve months
previously. I haven't been able to find him.
Margaret Behan married Thomas Holland in
Evandale in 1853. Was she the Margaret Holland who
died in Launceston in 1907?
Any assistance greatly appreciated. With
best wishes

- |
28 February 1807 (FJ) Mary Tracy, for
stealing from the person of William Julian, on the 13th February last, one
silver watch - guilty - to be transported for seven years.
Experiment - Arrived NSW 25 June 1809, Sailed 21/1/1809
from Cork in 155 days...Mary Tracy, Dublin City, 02/1807
Mary Tracey was
described as INFAMOUS Dublin County Dublin
The Prison Authorities in Port Arthur Tasmania
described my direct ancestor Mary Tracey as INFAMOUS - one can only imagine what
she did to earn that tag. Mary Tracey was born in Ireland - and possibly in
Dublin Ireland - circa1790 - that is a very rubbery guess. She had a child with
Thomas SCOTT in Launceston Tasmania in 1814. It is rumoured that she had an
earlier child - perhaps in Ireland? She was convicted in Dublin Ireland and
transported to Australia in 1809. Sadly there is no record that I can find to
tell me who her mother and perhaps her father (if she knew the latter) were. I
am hoping that a Tracey descendant with links to Dublin Ireland might recall a
family story about a female member of the Tracey family being transported to
Australia around 1809. There were other convicts from Dublin Ireland with the
surname Tracey but so far none seem related.

LIZ elizabeth liddicoat
10 Mar 2006
I know all
the lads were sentenced to life - the murder is still remembered fairly vividly
in Tipperary so the background information is fine; it's what happened them
when they got to Australia is what I'm trying to ascertain. Tom Maher did well
- got a cp in 1831 for shooting a bushranger; William Grace drowned in the 'Gundaroo' river (I assume that's the Yass
river) and the others I'm not sure of as such. I'm
carrying out this research from Tipperary so don't have access to the resources
available in Australia as freely as I'd like; and ironically the little bits I
discover about the lives of the men in Australia is informing about their
previous lives in Tipperary. There is no mention of any of the men in the early
part of the Colonial Secretarys index; much of
importance happened in the later years - James Daniel petitioned the Governor
in 1839 regarding his cancelled ticket of leave - I have yet to ascertain the
circumstances in which he forefeited his TL - he
received a CP in 1847. I cannot ascertain if Treacy ever got a CP or indeed
what may have happened him. It appears that he was
sent to Port Maquarie because he had one leg much
shorter than the other and therefore had a pronounced limp. I am writing an
article for a local historical journal and would be grateful for any
information at all on these men.

At the assizes of Trim, of the 8th September,
no less than 27 have been found guilty of high treason. Tracy, who is one of
the persons convicted at the above assizes, is a man of some property, and of a
respectable family. Thomas Tracy was
tried for high Treason, in associating with and arming men to assist the French
in case of an invasion. At a meeting of 150 men on the 2nd of March, each man
was to raise seventeen men to assist the French on their Landing. Tracy was
made a commander of seventeen.

17 November 1827 (F) The Late charge of Shop-Lifting in Dublin
The
unfortunate individual (Dr. Tracy) who was lately apprehended under the above charge,
remains in custody. - His house was searched since we last mentioned his
apprehension by peace officer Galogly, and a vast
quantity of articles of a most varied description found in one of the closets.
It is, perhaps, possible that those articles, or some of them, might have been
purchased by him; but it is rather singular that he never mentioned having them
in his possession to any member of his family. In fact, the waiting room of the
Head-Police-office bears a stronger resemblance to a fancy shop in Home's
Arcade, than a place of official business, the room being strewn with rich
shawls, pieces of silk, fashionable and costly china ornaments, a quantity of
silver bladed fruit knives, ostrich feathers, artificial flowers, plated
coasters, branch and plain candlesticks, ribbons, laces, and a multitude of
other articles, which would puzzle the ingenuity of an auctioneer to classify
under their proper heads. The informations are not
yet complete, and he remains over for further examination.
21 November 1827 (F) Recorders Court, Dublin
Yesterday,
Doctor Thomas Tracy, M.D. pleaded "Not Guilty" to the Indictment for
stealing in the shop of Mr. Tuthill. At the sitting
of the Court this day, Mr. Hamilton, said he was desired by the Prisoner to apply
to the Court, to withdraw the plea of "Not Guilty". The prisoner was
again arraigned - the Indictment was read to him - in it he stood charged for
stealing 3 yards of Linen, the property of Henry Tuthill,
of Dame-street, and to which the Prisoner pleaded "Guilty". The
Recorder then proceeded to give Judgement, and Sentenced the Prisoner to 7
years Transportation.
9 February 1828 (F) Doctor Tracy - Captain
Beggs
Nearly
thirty convicts wer conveyed from Newgate
to the hulk, at Dunleary, on Sunday morning, amongst whom were Dr. Tracy and Capt. Beggs.
Newry Commercial
Telegraph Feb. 8, 1828:
Nearly thirty convicts were
conveyed from Newport to the hulk, at Dunleary [Co
Dublin], on Friday morning, amongst whom were Doctor Tracy and Captain Beggs.
8 December 1827 (F)
Among the
extraordinary cases which are continually exciting our wonder in the police
reports, we have met with none more remarkable than those of Dr. Tracy of
Dublin, who had contrived a large camlet cloak full of pockets to receive the
booty recruining from his long unsuspected
cruises...but we really think it worth serious consideration, whether there are
not many "cases punished by Botany Bay, or the halter, which are fitter
for St. Luke's"

Death On 16th last September at Botany bay, Doctor Traecy, formerly of York street Dublin. He was
transported for stealing from a shop.

Conspiracy to Murder
Michael Comerford and Thomas Tracy charged with inciting and
conspiring with Michael Mullins to kill and murder Laurence Hoyne
[over a farm and mills at Rathcublin]. The chief
conspirator named Downey had been convicted on the previous day. With regard to
Tracy, a statement of his own would have alone proven his guilt, and when
arrested he wanted to become approver. Thomas Tracy was found guilty. At
present death would be recorded, and if any commutation of the sentence were to
take place it could only be to that of transportation for life. - Correspondent
of Saunders.[see 5 Aug 1843 for report of previous
trial]
19 August 1843 (TH)
Thomas
Tracy was found guilty at Kilkenny assizes for conspiracy to murder Lawrence Hoyne...It is remarkable that seven men were arrested and
all of them prayed the Crown to allow them to be approvers, but only three were
made use of...

“There was the case of another Cappagh White man who charged with and sentenced by a
Limerick court martial but this was on 10th May 1800. That village
was both famous for its fairs and notorious for its faction fights. William
Tracy and others from there were charged with attacking a party of the Loyal
Essex Regiment of Fencible Infantry on the 27th
April.Sergeant Thomas Davis stated to the court that
he was an escort for a prisoner who was being taken from Cappagh
White by Ensign Hearne. On the Road to Limerick and half a mile from Doon he
saw the accused man in front of a number of women and children. He immediately
ordered him out of the way and threatened him. Treacy,
he said, jumped over a fence and into the fields. He saw him again near Doon
chapel wall where he was joined by other man near the gates. When the escort
left Doon village the crowd followed and gave three huzzas and some stones were
thrown at the soldiers. Davis saw Treacy with a stone
in each of his hands. The crowd was shouting: ‘Hip, hip, hurray! Follow!’After
a while the stoning was followed by four or five shots and a shout of ‘Let the
prisoner go!’ was heard. Private Harding of the Loyal Wessex stated that the
escort consisted of one subaltern, one sergeant and sixteen rank-and-file. They
were escorting a prisoner who had been arrested by the Durham Cavalry. The
court martial sentenced the prisoner to death but with a recommendation for
mercy. After reading fully the court martial papers, it is not difficult to
understand why Lord Cornwallis commuted this brutal sentence to seven years
transportation.” National Archives Dublin 620/9/90/6
