22-3-1844 From the Tipperary Free Press. The following scene is reported as having occurred between the learned Judge who presided in the Criminal Court at Clonmel, Mr. Justice Ball, and a leading Queen's counsel on that circuit. Alice Dwyer stood indicted for arson on the 17th November at Tipperary. Margaret Condon sworn, examined by Mr. Scott---I live in Tipperary. I know the prisoner well, she lives in the same lane as me. I know Honor Flanagan, she lodged with me. I had a falling out with her on account of her keeping company with the prisoner, who had the name of being a robber. I summoned Norry Flanagan for assaulting me with a stone, and I send her for a month to the thread mill:--the same night the prisoner came to my house, and said if she had me out she would knock my brains out. Court---What night was that.? Mr. Scott---It was the-----. Court---I will not take the answer of a witness from you, Mr. Scott. Mr. Scott---If your lordship will leave the witness to me, I'll get the answer out of her. Court---I'll not take down any evidence I can't understand. Mr. Scott---Very well, my Lord, you may examine the witness yourself. Court---Go on, Mr. Scott. Mr. Scott---I'll hand you my instructions, my Lord, perhaps you will examine the witness from them. Court---What is that you say.? Mr. Scott---Perhaps, my Lord, you can get the facts out better than I. Court---I would recommend you to reconsider what you are doing. Mr. Scott---I only beg, my Lord, that when I am doing my duty, the witness will be left to me. Court---Go on, Sir. >From the evident excitement of Mr. Scott, this altercation threatened to end differently. His Lordship was quite calm and undisturbed. 4-5-1844 From the Tipperary Vindicator. On Saturday last the sub-sheriff proceeded to the lands of Rosnamulteeny, near Borrisoleigh, and ejected from their holdings 32 persons. These unfortunate beings were ejected for non-title, some of them had leases which expired. Each of the unhappy creatures, we are assured, came forward and tendered the November rent in the presence of the sheriff, which was refused. Widow P. Kennedy offered to lodge a year's rent in advance for her holding (6 ½ acres) but no terms would be given---she was turned out, and her house levelled to the ground, as were those also of Widow Burke and Tom Dunn. The others were permitted, through the humanity of the men to whom their land was portioned out, to re-enter their dwellings till they find shelter elsewhere, or become inmates of the poor house.
