Memorandum

Memorandum issued by the Department of Justice, 25 July 1929, relating to Mrs Annie Walsh and Martin Joyce under sentence of death for the murder of the former's husband, Daniel Walsh, at Rosmuck, County Galway on 30 May 1928. Attached to the memorandum is a copy of the facts of the case presented at the trial as set out in the charge to the jury by the trial judge. `The case for the prosecution here is that for a considerable time before Daniel Walsh died, these two accused had been carrying on this intrigue under his nose in his very own house, that night after night repeatedly Martin Joyce was sleeping in that house and sleeping with Daniel Walsh's wife'. Evidence was given at the trial by, amongst others, Kate Walsh, sister of Daniel Walsh, and the oldest female children of Annie and Daniel Walsh.

Letter

Printed petition on behalf of Annie Walsh to the Governor General with the names of the petitioners in hand writing, no date [1929]. The petition gives reasons why Annie Joyce was incorrectly found guilty of the murder of her husband, for example, `There is abundant reason for regarding the evidence of these two children as wholly unreliable and most dangerous to depend on for a conviction of the gravest crime. First, they had given evidence in the District Court; then they had discussed the fatal night frequently with a sister of the deceased who had assumed control of them, and in repeated interviews with the police officers, charged with the enquiry, and had given to the Police statements flatly contradicting their evidence in the District Court…' Two of these petitions exist in the file, each with a different list of petitioners.
