From The Cork Examiner, 30 December 1878 - NORTH INFIRMARY.--The woman, Butler, the surviving sufferer from the recent melancholy accident in Kyrl-street, is progressing favourably. A young man named Fitzpatrick, stated to be a hair-dresser, was admitted to the Infirmary yesterday, and treated for a very bad cut on the head. On Christmas Day, Fitzpatrick went to a lodging-house in Curtis's-lane, where he remained till yesterday, when he was too ill to leave his bed. The wound was bleeding, and the proprietor of the lodging-house having informed the police of the fact they removed the unfortunate man to the infirmary. It appears he has not been very temperate for some time past, and on Christmas eve he had a fight with another man. It is surmised that in the struggle Fitzpatrick fell and cut his head. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dennis Ahern | Ireland Newspaper Abstracts Acton, Massachusetts | http://www.IrelandOldNews.com - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
