From The Cork Constitution, 5 November 1886 - CORK MUNICIPAL REVISION. ---------- TWO PARNELLITE M.P.s DISFRANCHISED. ---------- His Worship the Mayor yesterday resumed the revision of the Municipal Franchise. Messrs. J. C. Blake, solicitor, and Thomas Babington, senr., solicitor, sat as legal assessors, and Mr. H. Barry represented the Town Clerk. Messrs. Babington and Babington, solicitors, with Mr. Holmes Crofts, appeared for the Conservatives. Mr. W. Murphy, solicitor, with Mr. J. O'Brien, for the Nationalists. The direct list was gone through, and the cases which were allowed stand disposed of, and a few claims were then decided. Thomas Beston, George's-street, objected to by the Nationalists, was struck off, it being stated by Mr. Murphy that he did not occupy the whole house. The applicant did not appear, and therefore the name was struck off. Rev. G. P. Quick, Homeville, Sunday's Well. Rector of St. Peter's Church, was objected to by the Nationalists. Mr. Bernard Skinner appeared, and proved that Mr. Quick was entitled to a vote. The objections were disallowed. The Revision then terminated. Mr. W. W. Babington said that as the revision was now virtually closed he begged to thank his worship for the courteous and impartial manner in which he had conducted it all through. Mr. Murphy said it was needless to say that he seconded what Mr. Babington had said with the greatest pleasure. They had got through the work very smoothly. There was no friction on either side, and were extremely thankful to the Mayor for his kindness during the revision. Mr. Babington--There was the greatest impartiality and courtesy shown by his worship. (Hear, hear.) The Mayor was much obliged to both gentlemen. They had got through the work smoothly and harmoniously, and also very rapidly. He had to thank his assessors, too, for their courtesy and the assistance they had given him. The court then adjourned until Monday, when the list will be gone over to class the names.

From The Cork Examiner, 24 October 1864 - THE CAPE MAILS. PLYMOUTH, 23RD.--The Union Company's Cape Royal steamship Britton, Capt. Boker, arrived here this morning from Table Bay, on September 20th, St. Helena 29th, and Ascension Oct. 3rd. She brings 28 passengers and 16 soldiers, time-expired men. Her cargo consists of 34 bags and 623 bales of wool, 845 bales hides, 42 bales of sheep and goat skins, 400 sheep skins, 4 cases sheep skins, 10 cases Ostrich feathers, 8 tusks ivory, 49 cases ; also 2 bales Angroa [sic] hair, 2 cases seal skin, and a quantity of silver, lead ore from the West Coast. At the Cape the most important political question pending, so far as South Africa was concerned, was the projected annexation of British Kaffraria to the Cape, and the arrangements to be made and the liabilities to be incurred for the future defence of Colonial border. His Excellency the Governor was in British Kaffraria, and had proceeded from thence to the Orange River free state for the purpose of settling the boundary at Mosheshs county. While in King Williamstown the Governor had an interview with a deputation from a public meeting, and, in reply to the questions addressed to him, stated the Home Government would shortly decide whether Kaffraria should be incorporated with the Cape Colony. The weather had been remarkably favourable for the farmers, and a plentiful harvest was expected. The breadth of land under cultivation had never been exceeded, and the crops were very promising. Trade was good. Money plentiful, and provisions cheap. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dennis Ahern | Ireland Newspaper Abstracts Acton, Massachusetts | http://www.IrelandOldNews.com - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

BALLINA CHRONICLE Ballina, Mayo, Ireland Wednesday, March 13, 1850 SUICIDE On Monday morning last at Easky, Francis Hale, a young man about twenty-five years of age, committed a most determined act of self-destruction by inflicting three fearful gashes in his throat with a razor. It appears that since his return from America about three weeks ago, he has not bee on good terms with his father, Edward Hale, a man in very independent circumstances, and who very seldom allowed him into his house. On Sunday evening young Hale effected an entrance into one of the upper rooms in his father's house, where there were some bags of meal, which he placed against the door, and intimated to those who endeavoured to get in that he would put an end to himself if they forced the door. Fearing he would execute his threat they left the place; but on coming to the door the next morning they heard the noise as if of blood issuing from a wound and falling on the floor. They then forced the door open and found the unfortunate young man standing near it, with his hands resting on his knees, the blood pouring from his throat, and a razor thrown on the floor some yards from him. The exertions which were instantly made failed to save his life; the dreadful act was too effectually accomplished. ---------- The owners of the ship Earl Grey, from Belfast to Sydney, with emigrants, were fined 500l. for the misconduct of their officers to the female passengers. ---------- At Ennis assizes, Sergeant Stock reversed the decrees of the Assistant Barrister, and then decided that graziers were not responsible for the loss of stock sent upon their lands. ---------- The prisoners in Cork county gaol mutinied on Thursday, breaking the tables and forms, which the police and military were called in to subdue the revolt, and the leaders were placed in irons. ---------- Patrick Maher, for the violation of Alice Kelly, was sentenced at Waterford assizes to transportation for life. ---------- SLIGO UNION. - There are only four paupers receiving out-door relief in this union. ---------- At Limerick Market last week 292 load of potatoes, selling at 6d. to 7d. per stone, and the largest supply of any week this year. - Half the quantity was bought up for spring sowing. INCENDIARY FIRES IN THE NORTH OF IRELAND. - On Thursday morning last three dwelling houses, with their offices, were burned to the ground in the townland of Four-score acres, Cairncastle, the property of James Agnew, Esq. It appears that the previous occupiers of these houses had been ejected for non-payment of rent, two of them being behind three years, and one two years' rent. In one of the houses three men sleeping in it had a narrow escape from being burned to death. Mr. Agnew is spoken of as a kind and considerate landlord; and we are informed that he had not only drained the land of the ejected tenants, but, that finding they were unable to pay him his rent, had, also allowed them to take away last year's crops. On Wednesday night a house was fired and burned in Killead, on the property of General Pakenham. On the morning of that day, Gr. Cunningham, who had occupied the premises for many years, and had been struggling for some time past to pay his rent, was ejected from the house.-- Coleraine Chronicle.

Hi Cur: More & more b.s.

THE CONNAUGHT JOURNAL Galway, September 6, 1824 KILKENNY ASSIZES TRIAL OF JAMES HELY AND JAMES MULHALL For Assaulting THOMAS NOWLAN, &c., &c. The case having been called on and the Jury sworn - Thomas Nowlan examined by Mr. Fox. Witness lives in Johnstown; is Sub-Constable in the Police; recollects having been in Kilkenny about the 4th or 5th of May last; was in Edward Flood's house, Back-lane; went to lodge there; knows James Hely and James Mulhall; saw them both at Flood's on the night of the day aforesaid; when preparing to go to bed, he was knocked down by Hely; the latter asked witness was it the toast he gave at the public-house that made him quit it. - [The Judge asked witness had he been at a public-house previously?]- he said he had; believes it was Clear's house; he can swear what the toast was; the toast which Hely gave was ," God blast all the Protestants, Orangemen, and Policemen in the Country out of it." Witness was not in his uniform that night; Hely asked him was it that toast made him leave the public-house; and he struck witness with some weapon, a gongs or poker; witness put his hand in his pocket and pulled out his pistol; before using it he was knocked down, and remained some time weak on the floor; upon rising Hely snapped the pistol at him; Edward Flood said, the villain (meaning witness) is dead, and leaped on him; they said they would bury witness in a cabbage garden; they went out of the kitchen up stairs; witness thought to get away but the door being fastened by a check-chain he could not get off; Flood came down stairs soon after, and witness asked him why he should have been so treated; Flood went with witness to the gaol, and called out the guard and got assistance to take the prisoners; he lodged examination against the parties before Major Kingsmill. Cross-examined by Mr. Costello, as anicus curiae. The attack on him occurred at Mr. Flood's, Back-lane; cannot say if Flood's be in the middle of Kilkenny; he swore against Flood between 11 and 12 o'clock next day; Flood keeps a lodging house; witness was sitting in Flood's with Hely and Mulhall; don't recollect to have heard the prisoner's talking at Flood's of any particular thing; did not hear them speaking of Lord Byron or Mr. Moore the poet, &c.; did not contradict them with respect to any of these names; his pistol fell out of his hand when he was knocked down; it was positively after receiving the first blow he drew the pistol out of his pocket; he did not see Mulhall blowing the powder out of the pan; he saw Mulhall put back the pan; Hely snapped the pistol at him first; can't tell if it was with the tongs or poker he was struck; he had not his uniform on that night, or for 12 months before it; he swore also against Mr. Flood *; he swears positively that Flood leaped on him; he knows it was either Hely or Mulhall proposed burying him; he don't know which; he supposes Mr. Flood heard them; examinations were sworn by him about twelve or one o'clock next day; he had to wait until the Mayor returned to his office; he did not say he would have shot some of them only he was knocked down; he swore against prisoners and Mr. Flood next day; he was senseless for some time after having been knocked down; it was when down that he was fired at; was senseless for about two minutes; when he recovered he saw them snap the pistol at him; as near as he could judge he was about two minutes senseless; there were only the three and himself in the house, except Flood's wife and niece, who were, he believes, in bed; he was bleeding; Mr. Reade and Mr. Williams knew he was all bloody; he can't say if any others of the Police go in coloured clothes; he never did any of the public duties which other Policemen do. Being asked for what duties then does he receive pay? witness said he was obliged to go according to the orders of his superior officers, Serjeant-Major _____ and Captain K_____; they ordered him not to wear uniform. He was in Kilkenny at the Sessions and Assizes before the time he was attacked. In answer to a question by the JUDGE. - It is a matter of police regulation to him not to wear uniform. It was at Flood's that he first saw Hely; he did see him at Flood's the Assizes before the last. Mr. Costelloe asked his Lordship, might he ask witness if he earned his bread as a common spy? His Lordship dissented. After he quieted the guard that night, he went to Reade. By the JUDGE - Mulhall took away the witness's pistol that night; he did not see it again; he charged the pistol the evening of the day on which he was attacked; it was a square-barrelled piece, and took a carbine ball. In answer to a question from a Juror - Witness answered, he had not particular motive for having been armed that night; he always carried a pistol. Examined by the Prisoner, Mely. Had no conversation of a particular nature with Hely at the house of Mr. Flood, but what he stated; it was Hely asked witness to go out with him to drink; witness heard him at a public house speak of a General M'Carthy; he did not say that his wife inquired for prisoner at Johnstown; he swears it was prisoner pressed him to go drink and not be them; his feelings were not irritated when querist asked him to pay his part of the reckoning; he drank no liquor at the public-house but beer. The witness being about to withdraw, he was called back and further interrogated by the Judge - He attended here during the Assizes; he was in the other Court on Saturday +; Mr. Williams did tell him he was called. And why, said his Lordship, did you not come forward, the Grand Jury wanting you? He said he waited for his superior officer's orders. Mr. Costelloe asked him, did Mr. Williams desire him to attend? He said, he did not. The JUDGE said, it was the prisoner's (Hely) desire to go to trial made him anxious to have witness appear. James Reade, who remained on the table for some time, was next examined by Mr. Fox. Nowlan called on him about thre or four o'clock on the morning of the alleged attack, and complained of some men who cut him. Witness told him he could lodge examinations at eleven or twelve o'clock the next day. Witness went with him to Flood's at whose door, which was locked, he remained for a short time; he brought soldiers with him. Flood, Reade, and the soldiers went up stairs; the former opened the door of the room in which Hely slept; the latter was surprised, and asked had witness a warrant against him. Witness went into Mulhall's room and found a pistol, (it was a small pistol, and produced in Court,) under Mulhall's head. Nowlan did not complain of Flood that night; there was blood on Nowlan's head. Cross-examined by Mr. Costelloe. Flood came with witness and Nowlan to the Mayor's office; Nowlan at that time made no complaint against Flood, but said, "Only for that man, (meaning Flood, they would have killed me!" Nowlan told witness, that only the prisoners had knocked him down, he would have shot one of them; Nowlan said he did not know any of them before. His LORDSHIP asked Reade did he show the pistol to Nowlan? he said he did, but would not give it to him, though Nowlan asked for it. Edward Flood examined by Mr. Costelloe. Resides in King-street, (or Back-lane), recollects that night Nowlan was in his house with Healy and Mulhall; recollects the conversation they had; it was about Shakspeare, Byron and Moore. Hely was about three weeks lodging iwth witness; he believes Hely is a poet, or a writer, and was getting gentlemen to subscribe for a work of his. Nowlan did join in the conversation about Shakspeare; Nowlan had his own opinion and could not bear contradiction; he got into a passion for being contradicted, and told Mulhall he did not like it; this was the subject of their conversation, and it was on this conversation the difference took place. Nowlan immediately after said - "Mulhall, you don't like me - take care, I have fire-arms;" he immediately rushed at Mulhall and Hely, who was airing a night cap at the fire, seized both pistols and Nowlan pulled him into the kitchen and in the scruff Nowlan fell down and cut his head by falling against a form; he was not struck with either tongs, poker or with the hand, and received no personal injury but the fall. Witness thinks it was the left side of the head was cut. - Witness did not use any violent language against Nowlan, nor did he leap on him. Witness went out with Nowlan to get his head dressed; he swore against witness next day. Hely seized the pistol from Nowlan, gave it to Mulhall, who examined it, and finding it was primed and loaded, blew the priming out of the pan; Mulhall afterwards put the pistol in his pocket, and said he would give it to a Magistrate. Nowlan wanted to get back the pistol but Mulhall and Hely said they would give it up to a Magistrate next morning. Witness did not hear, nor did he himself make any proposal to bury Nowlan in the garden; Nowlan did swear against Flood at the time he swore against the others. Witness was taken and committed, but gave his bail; he was 26 hours in gaol before bill was received; he knows Mulhall, who is a hatter and works with Mr. Powell. By a Juror - It was Nowlan brought the three out to drink; witness asked him to go to bed, and not to go out; they had two tumblers of whiskey and water each; Nowlan drank, besides the two tumblers of whiskey and water, a pint of ale in addition. Cross-examined by Mr. Fox. The three drank with the Policeman; witness did not know him to be a Policeman; Hely and Nowlan both fell together; Nowlan's head touched the form; Hely's did not; Nowlan was not struck that night by witness or the others; witness heard Nowlan say to Reade, the Constable, that he was struck by witness, which the latter denied at that time. James Reade re-examined by Mr. Fox. Witness does not recollect whether Flood desired that Nowlan was struck; he paid most attention to Nowlan, he being the complaining party; when the Police went to Flood's to take Mulhall and Hely, Flood did not then say that it was Mulhall and Hely made the attack on Nowlan. William Williams, High Constable, examined by Mr. Costelloe. Witness told Nowlan to attend the Court, and said to him, that he must have heard himself called - but Nowlan said he would not attend till he saw Major Powell. The prosecution here closed. The JUDGE charged briefly, commenting on each material circumstance, and desiring the Jury, if they believed Nowlan, to find the prisoners guilty; but, on the contrary, if they believed Flood, to acquit them. The Jury, without leaving the box, acquitted both the prisoners. Cathy Joynt Labath Ireland Old News http://www.IrelandOldNews.com/

Hello Karen, unfortunately it is not easy to find out what county your ancestors came from, mine are from County Cork but even with that finding out whether they came from the city or were farmers is almost impossible. Have you done all the research that you can locally? I am at present trying to locate great great grandparents, my great grandfather's certificates only indicate 'County Cork' or 'Cork' that could mean anything, unless you have a townland or similar the pickings are few. If I am wrong in this someone please tell me, I need help to and I am open to suggestions. Having a common Irish name doesn't help either.
