Helenor: Yes, as a matter of fact, you might want to contact the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center (FLETC), in Brunswick, (Glenco County) Georgia. I'm pretty sure they can either get you the information or tell you exactly where since they train Custom Agents.

THE CONNAUGHT JOURNAL Galway, September 2, 1824 CATHOLIC FINANCE COMMITTEE Saturday, August 28, 1824 - KEALY, Esq, in the Chair EDUCATION. The following letter, addressed to his Grave the Catholic Archbishop of Dublin by the Coadjutor Catholic Bishop of Clonfert, having been mislaid for some time, prevented its being read until this day: - Loughrea, May 28, 1824. MY LORD - The difficulty which I experienced in procuring the necessary documents from the several Parish Priests of this diocess, prevented my complying sooner with your Grace's request. I have at length succeeded, and now feel much pleasure in forwarding to your Grace the following statement of the schools established in the diocess of Clonfert, in order that the same may be transmitted by your Lordship, with those of the entire Province, for the inspection of The Catholic Association. In the parish of Loughrea I established two free schools in the year 1818, under the patronage of the Countess of Clanricarde. We have at least 100 boys and 100 girls educated in those schools. The boys are taught reading, writing and cyphering. The girls the same, and in addition all manner of needle-work. As those schools are established on the most liberal principles, they were attended for some years by Protestant as well as by Roman Catholic children. Several of the respectable Protestant ladies of this town visited those schools at stated times, and in the spirit of conciliation, and truly christian benevolence, assisted their Roman Catholic sisterhood in giving instruction to the children, according to the rules of the schools, (framed by the unanimous consent of Protestants and Catholics.)- Every thing that could excite a suspicion of jealousy in the minds of either party was carefully excluded from the schools. No books of controversy allowed and the principles of their religion taught to each in their respective places of worship after school-hours. The Protestant children have, however, been withdrawn from the schools some time since, and most of the Protestant ladies have continued their visits, for reasons best known to themselves. All I shall say is, that we have never given them the slightest cause, by deviating from the regulations originally approved of by themselves. The schools are supported by the voluntary subscriptions of the inhabitants of every parish, by an annual charity sermon, and by a liberal donation from the Countess of Clanricarde. We have never received the smallest assistance from the Kildare-street, or from any other Bible Society. We are most particular in the selection of the books for the schools. Besides the free schools, there are nine others in the Parish, where 201 boys and 101 girls are educated, in all manner of useful knowledge suited to their respective stations in life. These schools are supported by the parents of the children. - There is a bible school lately established in this town but it is attended by few, if any, of the Roman Catholics. In Ballinasloe and Creigh parishes, there are eleven schools, containing 493 boys and 239 girls; of these 259 boys and 120 girls are educated gratis. The poorest are furnished with books and slates. The expenses are defrayed by the Roman Catholic Bishop and generously supported by the inhabitants of the town. The remainder is defrayed by the parents of the children. In Portumna parish there are three schools, in which are educated 270 boys and 150 girls. The rent of the town school house is paid by the subscriptions of the Clergyman of the parish, as also by donation of Lord and Lady Clanricarde. The master and mistress of the town school are paid by the weekly contributions of the scholars. The country schools are supported by the parents of the children. The books are, spelling book, speaker and catechism - no improper books allowed. The Kildare-street Society sent to the school, upon one occasion, a present of some books, to which there could be no objection but the Society never gave any other assistance. Clonfert, Meileck, and Eyrecourt Parishes - There are 10 schools, containing 560 boys and 260 girls. Of this number 143 are instructed gratis, in a school established by a Protestant bishop, of the diocese, on the most liberal and just principles, as the children are principally Roman Catholic, the catechism is taught every day by one of the Roman Catholic scholars, as the master is a Protestant - 140 more are educated in a free-school, supported by the subscriptions of the Roman Catholic inhabitants of Eyrecourt. All the rest are paid for by their parents. These schools receive no sort of aid from the Bible Societies. In Ballymacward parish there is one school containing 120 boys and 30 girls supported by the parents, and by ten pounds a year, given by Bernard Browne, Esq. of Mounthazel, to pay for the children of the poorest inhabitants of this parish. In Kirtormur and Laurencetown are four schools, conaining 195 boys and 139 girls. Of this number 120 are paid for by the subscriptions of the inhabitants, and by a donation from the Parish Priest, the Rev. D.O' Callahan. These schools receive no aid from the Kildare-street Society. - There are two Bible schools in said parishes, but attended by a single Roman Catholic child. The other schools established throughout this diocese, being exclusively supported by the parents of the children, and not requiring any particular remark, I deem it quite sufficient to set them down in the following order: Here follows a list of the several parishes, the number of schools and pupils, male and female - total 52 schools in 16 parishes - 1,938 boys and 853 girls. I hope this statement will prove satisfactory to that highly respectable, useful and enlightened body, the Catholic Association, and convince (if the would be convinced) the maligners of the Roman Catholic Priesthood of Ireland, that it is not their wish to keep their respective flocks in error or ignorance, and that if more has not been done, it is to be attributed not to want of inclination, but resources, in this our impoverished and unhappily divided country. After thanks to the Chair the meeting adjourned. Cathy Joynt Labath Ireland Old News http://www.IrelandOldNews.com/

Again, my apologies for the cross-post to various newsgroups where this book has been cited. The follow-ups line is set to soc.genealogy.britain, where it seems the book has been mentioned most frequently over the years. I'm trying again to find some missing pages from G.M. Trevelyan's English Social History. In my last attempt, I found various people who were willing to help, but it turned out that none of them had the paperback one-volume Pelican edition which I have here (consolidating the four-volume original). I bought it inexpensively at a used bookstore, only to discover that the first few pages were missing, and I am hoping to find someone who is willing to scan those pages and send them to me. I do have one frontispiece page, but after that my copy continues from page 11 of the introduction, in the middle of the quotation: "chronicle of wasted time' for the sake of 'ladies dead and lovely knights'. (Someone actually sent me the source of that quotation...) I don't know if that will be sufficient to pin it down, and I can't give the publication year, since that's part of the missing pages. From the degree of yellowing, I'd guess at least 30 years ago. The back cover has 75p as the recommend price for the United Kingdom. (Also an interesting note there that this version is not for sale in the USA, though four other countries are listed.) (I suppose I should mention that the local libraries are not an option, since I live in Japan, though it's also unlikely for a public library to have such an old book.)

From The Cork Examiner, 4 June 1864 - THE INMAN LINE. ------ THE rumour that the Inman Company purpose [sic] withdrawing their ships from Queenstown and taking them to Kinsale, would seem to have some foundation from the fact, that Captain Kennedy, master of the ill-fated City of New York, left Queenstown to-day for Kinsale. The object of his visit to Kinsale is not avowed, but, owing to the late reports that the Inman Company, vexed at his suspension, have determined to change the port of call for their ships from Queenstown to Kinsale, it is supposed to be for the purpose of examining the capabilities of Kinsale harbour. This conjecture is strengthened by the fact that Captain Seymour, agent of the company [visited] the same harbour in his screw steam yacht, this day. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dennis Ahern | Ireland Newspaper Abstracts Acton, Massachusetts | http://www.IrelandOldNews.com - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

janhig, Thanks for calling my attention to this. I signed up for it. The results of my mtDNA test did not tell me anything useful for family history purposes, but maybe I need to do more reading.

I am trying to find out any information on my gt-grandfather Thomas Madden. He was born in Ireland, possibly Londonderry, around 1860. He has listed his profession as Policeman on his marriage certificate, and according to ancestry.com there are 4 Thomas Madden's in The Royal Irish Constabulary 1816-1921 index.

THE CONNAUGHT JOURNAL GALWAY, MONDAY, AUGUST 30, 1824 THE REV. THOMAS TIERNEY, O.S.A. This reverend and inestimable character terminated his career of virtue on the morning of Friday last, at Cregg, the seat of Francis Blake, Esq. In recording the loss of such an individual, we discharge a reluctant duty, and feel obliged to depart from the line of our ordinary obituaries to lament the unexpected death of an Ecclesiastic, the element of whose character were of so pure and perfect a composition, that we are at a loss which to admire in him most, his meekness and urbanity as a Gentleman - his talents and information as a Man, or his peculiarly zealous and conflicting conduct as a Minister of peace. It seemed the very bent and study of his life to administer the truths and the consolations of his Religion, through the most gentle and agreeable channel - and while his station called upon him to take back from the lap of sin the unerring child of mortality, he never forgot to convey the strictures of virtue through the impressive medium of a sweet and eloquent advice. Mr. Tierney at an early period became a member of the Augustinian Order, and has ever since been an inhabitant of this place, if, indeed, we except the many interruptions his residence received from the hospitality and friendship of the Gentry of the County of Galway, to whom his liberal and engaging manners endeared him. His remains were accompanied to the grave by an immense assemblage, composed of all classes without any religious distinction and the Roman Catholics of the 1st Royal Veteran Battalion marched in the procession under the command of Major Faucet.

THE CONNAUGHT JOURNAL GALWAY, MONDAY, AUGUST 30, 1824 ATTACK ON THE POLICE AT CHURCHTOWN Timothy Doolan, Garrett Brown, Wm. Flynn, John M'Auliffe, Edmund Fleming, John Meenan, John Boland, and John Brown were given in charge for the attack upon the Police at Churchtown. William Lumsden examined. Stated that he commanded the party of Police stationed at Churchtown in the month of January, 1823. Witness then proceeded to detail the particulars of the attack, the whole of which are already known to the public; witness did not identify any of the prisoners. Cross-examined. The prisoner Flynn lived immediately adjoining the Police Barracks. He was taken up, and soon afterwards ????? but did not abscond. There were, he things, thirteen or fourteen Policement stationed at Churchtown at that time. Flynn, he always thought a very industrious man, and a man of good character. John Walshe (the approver) gave the same account of the occurrences at Churchtown that he had given on the former trial last Assizes, and in the leading facts he was the same that Mr Lumsden had given. The prisoner, William Flynn, whom witness identified, came from Churchtown, and informed the assembled assailants that that was the time to make an attack on the Police, for that Mr. Lumsden was dining at Mr. Crofts, and the rest of the Police had got some whiskey from Innishowen and were drinking. Witness, as before, described the allotment of business, the appointment of sentinels, pass-words, &c. Witness identified all the prisoners, and affirmed he was quite positive of their having been at the attack on the Police. Mr. Jackson cross-examined this Witness. Witness was taken under the Insurrection Act; was charged with being concerned in the attack on Granasheen and on Mr. Heffernan; it swearing here to save his life; has been a servant to Thomas Connor; was at the attack at Sallypark, and the destruction of the barracks at Liscarroll; was always ready to go on any expedition; has been at several farmer's houses; swears that he never said that he liked to hear the cries of men, women and children; has taken thirteen oaths, and in breaking one broke the rest; did not tell all to-day that he told at the last Assizes, the questions not having been put to him; does not recollect having broke any oath, but the Whiteboy oath; never took that except three times; never administered more than three or four oaths; has been allowed ten shillings a week; declares that the party did not send a spy forward to Churchtown, and he (witness) did not depose to that effect last Assizes; swears that he left the house of Thomas Connor to go to the attack at five in the evening, and did not return until morning. To a question by a Juror - Some of the prisoners were armed; every one of these prisoners was at the muster of the assailants, previous to the attack. James Moynehan (another approver) gave testimony to the same effect as Walshe, and identified Doolan, Garret Brown, and Meenan; has had conversations with Walshe, the other informer; not this subject. This witness underwent a long cross-examination, much of which would be uninteresting. Bryan Carr, a policeman, went over the general outline of the occurrences, in pretty nearly the same terms as the preceding witnesses. At the last Assizes, identified a man named Brusnehan, who has since been executed; now identifies Wm. Flynn as one of the assailants on that occasion. Cross-examined - Flynn was seven or eight yards from his own house during the attack; his house was on fire, for it was under the same roof with the police barrack. Wm. Crowley, chief constable of police; also went over the same ground as the other witnesses. Being cross-examined, he gave a good character of William Flynn. Dr. M'Fadden was examined as to the wounds and deaths that took place on that occasion. DEFENCE. Thomas Connors, (reputed uncle to Walshe) - remembers the attack on Churchtown and deposes that Walshe could not have been there - for he spent the whole night in witness's house. Cross-examined - Walshe might have got out without witness's knowledge. James Flynn - Knows the prisoner, Wm. Flynn, and remembers the attack upon the barrack; the prisoner and the witness went to bed together and when he house was broken into, prisoner and witness got under the bed; and when the house took fire, they made their escape into the street; prisoner supped at home; they had been working together during the preceding day. Cross-examined - They got out of the burning house in their shirts, and went into a neighbour's house. James Hogan - Knows the three Flynns; they came into his house while the attack upon the Police was going forward. Mr. Milward gave a good character of William Flynn; Mr. Crofts was here last Assizes to give Flynn a character; the Flynns are very decent people. Cross-examined - Many men of good character have been implicated in the late disturbances. Mr. G.S. Crofts, also gave a good character of the prisoner; but, in cross-examination made the same admission that Mr. Millward had done. Mr. Rogers gave a good character of Fleming, with whom he has had many dealings. Mr. Wrixon also gave a good character of Fleming, and added, that he had a gun for shooting ducks, which he gave up at the commencement of the disturbance. The Rev. Daniel O'Brien, Parish Priest of Churchtown, gave a good character of Flynn and Fleming. Mr. Robert Freeman likewise spoke favourably of Flynn, as did Mr. Glover, both of Flynn and Fleming. The case being closed on both sides his Lordhship proceeded to charge the Jury, in the course of which he observed, that their verdict must depend upon the opinion as to the guilt or innocence of Flynn. The Learned Judge made several other observations, and concluded by observing they had an important duty to discharge, which he was sure they would perform with strict impartiality and justice. The Jury retired, and in a few minutes returned with a verdict of Not Guilty for all the prisoners. The Court was crowded and appeared gratified at the verdict.

As I recall, your only "real contribution" has been a defence of ripping off copyright material and posting it on the internet. Yes, we certainly need more such original "research".
