| Evidence: | 'Mary Joy was convicted in July, 1834 ... She remained in Newgate till the month of January, when a pardon was obtained for her; and she removed to a very humble lodging, where she was under the care of a sister. Here, though exposed to fresh trials, she was also peculiarly favoured by the constant visits of a lady, who read the Scriptures to her and was in every way her comforter and friend.' |
