THE CONNAUGHT JOURNAL Galway, Thursday, September 16, 1824 PROVINCIAL INTELLIGENCE ENNIS, SEPT. 13 - Tuesday, as the Right Hon. John Ormsby Vandeleur and Sir Hugh Dillon Massy, Bart. were riding toward Kilrush, from Kilmore, the seat of Poole Hickman, Esq. the horse of the former becoming restive, threw him on his side, which was bruised severely; he also received a slight contusion on the forehead. His carriage was sent for immediately, and he was removed to his mansion, at Kilrush, when medical assistance was sent for - we are happy to learn, that no dangerous consequences are apprehended. Thursday, a poor man dropped apparently dead, in the streets of Kilrush. Will it be believed that want of food was the cause of this melancholy circumstance? The entire amount of Presentments granted at the last Assizes of the County of Clare, is £8916.5s.0d. CORK, SEPT. 11 - On Wednesday night last, some keepers who had distrained crops on the lands of Ballinure, at Blackrock, within the liberties of Cork, where there were two years rent due to the landlord, John T. Rye, Esq. were visited by an armed party, who ordered them into a house, on threat of shooting them if they disobeyed. When inside, the door was locked on them, and all the corn, &c., comprising the chief part of the distress, was removed from the lands. This is another specimen of what the liberals term "returning tranquility." The Arabian pony rode by Lord Combermere, carried Napoleon at the battle of Waterloo. Wednesday the Anne and Amelia sailed from Cork with convicts to New South Wales. Cathy Joynt Labath Ireland Old News http://www.IrelandOldNews.com/
