"l faris" <[email protected]> wrote in message news:[email protected] Hello Whenever I read about Griffiths I see a very wide date range in which the data was collected (1848-1864). Is there anywhere online a reference that can tell me more specifically when the valuation was done in a particular area? Some were done first and some last - It would be helpful to know when the Mayo valuations were done as compared to when the Roscomon ones were done. I have a Griffiths map of a Roscommon townland, the map is dated, so presumably that indicates when the data was collected Ron

Transcribed from the 29 July 1828 edition of The Newry Commercial Telegraph newspaper, by permission of The British Library: A Scottish piper, reported (we will not say how truly) to be an eminent sporting character--a Gentleman, forsooth! in disguise, attracted considerable attention, last week, in Newry, Armagh, and the neighbouring towns and villages. He was meanly dressed--and is said to be making the circuit of this country, in the character we have mentioned, for a wager. Be this as it may, we can only say that the bait has taken most admirably with the good people of Ireland. Cash was pouring in on this most unfortunate piper from every quarter--and it is calculated he has received not less than from ten to twelve pounds per day! But, then, it is no matter--it has been well bestowed--for he is not a common stroller--oh, no!--he has the honor to be a Gentleman vagabond. We only wish that the money thus lavishly and, we will add, shamefully, thrown away on a nameless wanderer had been appropriated to the relief of our wretched countrymen in Paisley, or to some other equally benevolent purpose. Pro pudor! ======================== Transcribers' note: The following URL should direct subscribers' browsers to the January - June 1850 compilation of Chambers's Edinburgh Journal (new series, Nos. 314-339, pp. 87-90), published by William and Robert Chambers, Vol. XIII: http://books.google.ca/books?id=H7gCAAAAIAAJ&pg=RA1-PA87&dq=piper+1828+ireland ... to an article entitled, "Modern Myths - The Gentleman Bagpiper". Here, clues were given as to the identity of the "certain half-pay Captain", who was mentioned in a recent posting of a similar newspaper article to this newsgroup on July 18. [The article in Chambers's is an extract from "Tour of the Wandering Piper Through Part of Scotland and Ireland, Written by Himself", pub. 1833, Portland, Maine, USA]. The URL for that earlier posting is: http://groups.google.ca/group/soc.genealogy.britain/browse_thread/thread/49675ea8b1633272?hl=en# ... or that URL, processed by TinyURL into: http://tinyurl.com/62fck3 Chambers's cites the following clues for the identity of the "Gentleman Bagpiper" who, according to that article, was: - a retired officer, who had served in the Peninsular war and sold his commission after the battle of Waterloo - educated at the same school in Scotland as Count Bender (the other party to the dispute and subsequent wager mentioned in the contemporary Irish newspaper articles posted to this newsgroup) - an excellent musician Also found via Google Books is the book entitled, "Thomas Hardy's 'Facts' Notebook, a Critical Edition" (ed. by William Greenslade (2004, Ashgate, Aldershot, Surrey), which provides another clue. Citing the 13 May 1830 edition of the Dorchester County Chronicle, Hardy stated that the "Gentleman Bagpiper" called himself Capt. Barclay, or Col. Stewart (p. 210).

>From The Cork Examiner, 15 October 1861 - AN attempt at murder was made on Saturday evening by a man named Hallisey. About eight o'clock he entered the house of Thomas Barry, in Hospital-lane, and attacked him with a razor, cutting his throat across. He also attacked the wife of Barry, but happily not with the razor, and she suffered more from terror than from any bodily injury. Hallisey then left the house. Soon after the constabulary at the Bandon-road station were informed of the outrage and they went to the house in which Hallisey resided, for the purpose of arresting him. On knocking, Hallisey opened the door for them. He held a lighted candle in his hand at the time and appeared quite unexcited, allowing himself to be taken into custody without offering any resistance. Brien [sic] was removed to the South Infirmary, where it was found that the wound which he received was not dangerous. The prisoner appeared to be, and we believe is, mentally deranged. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dennis Ahern | Ireland Newspaper Abstracts Acton, Massachusetts | http://www.IrelandOldNews.com - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Names: Mr. Adolphus, Mr. Alley, Mary Ann Bruce, Mr. Bruce, Tobias Burke, Elizabeth Butler, Julia Butler Transcribed from the 23 July 1822 edition of The Strabane Morning Post, by permission of The British Library: Bigamy. A very interesting case of Bigamy was lately tried at the Old Bailey, London, in which Tobias Burke, a person described by Counsel as possessing the manners and general habits of a gentleman, and as being connected with a highly respectable family in Ireland, was charged with feloniously intermarrying with Mary Anne Bruce, his former wife being still living. It appeared that the prisoner, in May, 1813, was married to Miss Butler, the daughter of a respectable merchant in Cashel, by whom he had two children. The parties for some time resided in Dublin, where they failed in business, after which they went to England, and subsequently separated. Not long after this the prisoner, by effrontery and false representations, introduced himself into the family of Mr. Bruce; and the ultimate consequence was his marriage to Miss Bruce without her father's consent or knowledge, that gentleman having met the proposal with a decided negative. The report of a former marriage soon reached Mr. Bruce's ears, and, inquiry having been set on foot, the whole was discovered, and the first wife was traced to the poor-house of St. Pancrass [sic]. The first marriage was proved by Elizabeth Butler, sister to the prisoner's first wife, who swore, that the ceremoney [sic] was performed by a Roman Catholic priest, the prisoner professing himself to be of that communion, and joining in the Rosary. Miss Bruce proved the second marriage.--Mr. Adolphus, for the defence, produced several witnesses to prove that the prisoner was a protestant, and, among the rest, Edmund Burke, prisoner's brother, who deposed that he was a Catholic, but [that] prisoner was a protestant, that he dined with the parties the day on which the marriage was said to have taken place, and remained till 2 o'clock, and that nothing like a marriage had taken place in his presence. Mrs. Elizabeth and Julia Butler were then called, and swore positively that Edmund Burke was present at the whole ceremony, and gave his brother away, both being quite sober. Mr. Adolphus objected to the case going to jury, on the grounds that all marriages celebrated between a protestant and a papist, by a Romish Priest[,] was [sic] illegal and void. The objection was overruled, and the jury found the prisoner guilty. Mr. Alley then moved, that [Tobias] Burke should stand committed to Newgate for gross, wilful, and corrupt perjury. He was taken into custody accordingly. Next day he was brought up to plead to the indictment, and was ordered to find bail for his appearance at the next Sessions. ======================
