Detailed information:
This or another John Weir appears to have married one Rebecca Bratt on 7 April 1841.
On April 1838, he was party in a case trying one George Lloyd and one George Morgan for stealing a musical snuff-box from William Tippin in Seebtollah lane using force. They pleaded not guilty. Weir had deposed that he had heard from a Chowkidar of the riot in Anne Rawlinson’s house, “and when he arrived there, he saw a buggy with two gentlemen in it, assisting a person named Sheriff, the boatswain of a ship, who said that Morgan had assaulted him and broken his head and robbed him of seven rupees eight annas.”
