Turtle and readers, I think Beat 102-103 may have some funding available to pay for " tidbits" collected from readers on the Carlow IGP website .....they contacted me earlier this year and willingly paid for snippets relating to Carlow, perhaps they might pay via the contribution button on the Carlowigp to assist Michael Brennan in running the site, ??

Turtle, for the history week-end, could you advise me please on the location of the lectures. I hope to have a cousin staying here and she is in a wheelchair. She loves history and it would be a lovely event for her. She is afraid that Ducketts'. Grove would not be the easiest place to go on wheels!

Transcribed by Michael Purcell, May 2013. Carlow Sentinel. May 1887. Death of Admiral Fishbourne, C.B. We regret to announce the almost sudden death of another illustrious Carlow man, and distinguished naval officer, Admiral E.G. Fishbourne, which occurred on the 12th May 1887, after an illness of two days, of congestion of the brain. Deceased was the youngest and last surviving son of the late William Fishbourne, J.P. ( last Sovereign of Carlow ), and, as will be seen by the obituary notice, which we copy from the Times, had a very distinguished naval career, while to the close of his useful life he was intimately identified with missionary work in London. His death is deeply deplored, and especially amongst his many relatives and friends in this his native county. Our contemporary says :- "The death of Admiral Edmond Gardiner Fishbourne, C.B., which happened at the end of last week at his residence in Hogarth Road, Kensington, has removed one of the most active and energetic of Lord Shaftesbury's colleagues in the work of evangelising the masses of this great metropolis. He was a very familiar presence at the May meetings of Exeter-hall, and his exertions were not confined to members of his own profession. He entered the Royal Navy in the year 1824, passed his examination in 1830, and obtained his first commission in 1835. He saw much active service during the next three years on the African coast, in her Majesty's ships Thalia, Pylades, and Scout, and later in the Albert steamer, under Captain Henry Dundas Trotter, in which he attended the unfortunate expedition to the banks of the river Niger. While employed on this service he was promoted to the rank of Commander, and appointed to the Soudan, another steamer. He went on half-pay in 1842, but subsequently served in the Caffre war of 1850 - 51, when he received the thanks of the Governor of the Cape of Good Hope and of the authorities of Grahamstown and Algoa Bay. About the same time he was created a Companion of the Order of the Bath. He was afterwards actively employed against the privateers in the Chinese seas, and was engaged under the Treasury in relief service for some two or three years. He obtained flag rank in 1869, and became full Admiral in 1880. He was for many years honorary secretary to the Royal Patriotic Fund, and to the Naval and Military Bible Society. entered Royal Navy in 1824, distinguished navy career. Colleague of Lord Shaftsbury.

his obituary, quoted in the Nationalist, was published in The London Times.

Thanks for this Mick. The Lisnavagh Archives (G4/1/6) contains a letter of 1856 written by a rather irate Captain Edmund [sic] Gardiner Fishbourne (1811-1887) to Captain McClintock Bunbury in which he felt the Admiralty had ‘cast a slur on me’ when he learned from the Duke of Newcastle that they had rejected his application for a CB (for his services in the 2nd Anglo-Burmese War of 1852-1853) ‘in favour of [Hardwicke] a man several years my junior.’ Fishbourne had been the senior officer at Rangoon and was the Second in Command under Commodore Lambert during the war. However, while his services were recognized by the Governor General and military top brass, he was overlooked in favour of Commanders Tarleton and Shadwell. He felt the Admiralty were unjust in ‘reprimanding me and in not making reparations when they found they were wrong.’ He hoped Captain McC B would mention it to Admiral Beechey, ‘not as a matter of friendship or favour but as of basic justice’. The Captain then got a memorandum about Fishbourne, showing he had been the senior officer at ‘the commencement of the Kaffir War’ (when he was Commander of HMS Hermes) and had received the thanks of the Queen, ‘though he did not show / share the responsibility, he having returned from the Mozambique only a few days before the date of Sir Harry Smith’s despatch of 18 February 1851 reporting the service alluded to.’ He was the only field officer not rewarded for his services in the Kaffir War. Fishbourne entered the Royal Navy in 1824, becoming a Lieutenant in 1835, a Commander in 1841, a Captain in 1853 and retiring as an Admiral in 1879. Between 1835 and 1850, he saw active duty across Africa, the Cape of Good Hope, and the East Indies. In 1854, the newly promoted ‘Captain’ Fishbourne and the HMS Hermes were paid off in Woolwich after steaming 75,000 miles. When Shanghai was captured, he landed three ships to defend the British settlement. On three occasions he destroyed and captured piratical junks amounting number sot 40. Sir John Parkington when Colonial Secretary officially wrote to Sir Harry Smith saying that Smith’s choice of officers, Fishbourne included, should be recognized but when Parkington left that office, Captain Fishbourne’s name was omitted. He spent many years beating up pirates and being beaten up in Rangoon on the Empire’s behalf so he felt understandably sore at being ignored in favour of some cub who had probably never even left Portsmouth. He later thanks Captain Bunbury for his part in restoring his credibility in 1859 (although written on black-rimmed mourning paper from the United Service Club). In 1857, he was involved with an attempt to lay the North Atlantic Cable. The following year, he gave a lecture On Floating Batteries (reported in the United Services Institute Journal Vol II, 1858). He was a prolific author of articles on shipping techniques, on various military campaigns, and also wrote What is Sin?, The Injustice of Free Trade Policy, Entire Sanctification; or, a clean heart is the doctrine of Scripture, The Irish Plundered, Manufacturers enriched, and Foreigners protected, Means employed to raise the Condition of British Seamen, Protection for her people and her industries the cure for Irish discontent, Romans vii. 14-25 represents unconverted experience!, Wholeness, or holiness and health through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. He was a Patron of the London Homeopathic Hospital, and of the homeopathic hospital in Smyrna, as wel as being a Steward at the 1858 Annual Festival in aid of the London Homeopathic Hospital.

*Interesting case submitted by Trevor Clowry* *** * *1838. CARLOW SPRING ASSIZES. (CIVIL SIDE.) - BURGESS Appellant, CLOWRY, Respondent. - Coram JOHNSON, J.* *** * *[CASE]* *- March. Appellant distrained cattle of the respondent for rent due by the latter as tenant of the former, and civil bill replevin thereupon. The respondent’s case was that the distress was irregular from want of sufficient notice of distress within the statute* *** * *[STATUTE] - 6 & 7 Will. IV. c. 75, s. 6, but it appeared that he (respondent) had requested and obtained postponement of the sale of the distress, and had, subsequently to the distress, and had subsequently to the distress admitted some rent was due by him to the appellant.* *** * *[VERDCT] - Held: that the respondent had by such his acts waived the alleged irregularity.* *** * *[ABRIDGED NOTES - DETAILS]* *Civil bill replevin by Clowry (the respondent,) against Burgess (the appellant,) under the statute 6 & 7 Will. IV. c. 75. Decree for the respondent, and appeal, &c. The distress which was the subject of the action, was made on the 13th of March, 1837. On the 20th of March, 1837,a notice of distress(a) was served upon the respondent, which notice was in the terms following:—* *(a) Vide 6 & 7 Will. IV. c. 75, s. 6, which enacts that in all cases of distresses for rent, the person making any such distress shall deliver to the person in possession of the premises, for the rent of which such distress shall be made, or in case there shall not be any person found in possession, shall affix on some conspicuous part of such premises a particular in writing of the rent demanded, specifying the amount thereof, the time or times when the same accrued, and the person by whom, or by whose authority, such distress is made.* *** * *“Take notice that I have distrained the following cattle for rent, and arrears of rent due to me out of the lands of Killoughternane, amounting to the sum of twenty-seven pounds, eight shillings, arid ten pence, ending the 29th September last. Dated March 13th, 1837.—One horse, one cow, one heifer, and four sheep.” - Henry Burgess.* *** * *On the same day, (20th March,) the notice of sale of the distress was posted. On the 27th of March the cattle distrained were driven to Bagnalstown, for the purpose of being there sold, but the respondent having requested a postponement for one week, the sale was adjourned accordingly, and on the same day, (27th March,) notice of the adjournment of the sale to the 3rd of April was posted. On the 30th of March, the respondent went with a third party to the appellant, and on that occasion produced a sum of £23 10s., which he said was the rent due by him to the appellant, and handed over that sum to his companion, who walked away with it, without either giving or offering it or any part thereof to the appellant. On the same day, (30th March,) the Clerk of the Peace issued his order of replevin directed to the Sheriff, Which order was in the terms following:* *** * *- “ORDER OF REPLEVIN. The Sheriff of the County of Carlow is hereby required without delay, to cause to be replevied to Thomas Clowry, (if he shall give sufficient security,) the Goods and Chattels which Henry Burgess unjustly detains. - Signed the 30th day of March, 1837” - Robert Browne, Deputy Clerk of the Peace for the said County of Carlow.* *** * *On the 31st of March the Sheriff issued his replevin. The civil bill bare date the 18th of March, and was lodged on that day with the Clerk of the Peace, but it was not served on the appellant until a day subsequent to that on which the replevin issued. The tenancy was admitted by the respondent, and that rent was in arrear at the time of the distress made.* *** * *[CLOWRY’S CASE]* *On the hearing of the appeal, the respondent contended that the notice of distress was defective in its form, as not containing the particulars required by the statute 6 & 7 Will. IV. c. 75, s. G, and that such a notice as that required by the said section of the Act, ought to have been served previously to the distress made ; that the notice in question, even if good in form, was served too late; that by such alleged defect in his proceedings, the appellant was rendered a trespasser ab initio, and that no subsequent waiver on the part of the respondent or tenant could cure such alleged defect. * *** * *[BURGESS’ CASE]* *On the part of the appellant, it was contended, that as a tenancy under the appellant was admitted by the respondent, which fact, with the amount of the rent appearing due, brought the case within the civil bill jurisdiction, it followed, first, that the service of a notice of distress under the sixth section of the said statute, was not requisite, as a condition precedent to the landlord’s title Ito distrain the goods of his tenant for his rent. * *Secondly, that the tenant having availed himself of the provisions of the Act by replevying, and bringing his civil bill, was estopped from denying the jurisdiction of the Court to decide on the merits of the case. * *And thirdly, that even though a notice of distress were requisite as a condition precedent to the landlord’s title to distrain, yet that there was sufficient evidence of such notice in the present case, the tenant having waived any irregularity in the service of the notice, by subsequently obtaining an adjournment of the sale, and having also subsequenttlv made an admission, that the rent in respect of which the distress was made was actually due.* *** * *[OUTCOME] His Lordship, on hearing the appeal,' said he would reserve the questions arising in the case for the consideration of the judges; but on a subsequent day his Lordship said he would take upon himself to decide upon the case, and thereupon informed the parties interested, that he did not think the objections to the appellant’s proceedings relied on by the respondent could be sustained by him in this case, that the acts of the respondent subsequently to the making of the distress, amounted, in his Lordship’s opinion, to a waiver on his (the respondent’s) part of the alleged irregularities or defects in the said proceedings, and that therefore without deciding upon the questions raised by the respondent upon the alleged irregularities and defects, he was of opinion that the decree ought to be reversed.(a)* *(a) Vide Dwyer v.

Burgess took animals worth the amount due to him on 13th March from Thomas Clowrys farm. Clowry asked Burgess for a postponement of the sale of the animals so he could get the rent together but eventually did not pay Burgess. Burgess served a notice of distress on Clowry on the 20th March. Clowry argued due to a statute, the notice of distress should have been served before the animals were taken but admitted that the rent was due – and therefore Burgess had been trepassing. Burgess argued that because Clowry had admitted owing the rent and asking for the postponement, that the mistakes that Burgess made when serving the distress notice should be waived. The judge found in favour of Burgess.*

Mick, Thank you for the transcription. Edmond’s grandparents were Laurence Nowlan (c1711-1783) and Anne Wright (c1732-1783) who are buried in the old cemetery behind the Ballon church. The Nolan book (published in 2000) identifies this line as a sub-branch of the Shangarry Nolans, an assignment which I am beginning to question. With so many Nolan lines in the Ballon area it is not hard to understand how false assumptions can arise. Edmond’s parents were Edmund Nowlan (c1755-1847) Elizabeth Doyle of Ballinrush. Here is what I have on for Edmond’s brothers identified in the obituary: 1) Rev. Thomas Nolan (1792-1886) According to his mother, Thomas was born December 29, 1792, and, in the 1798 timeframe, was an eye-witness to some minor engagements between the insurgents and the yoemanry at Ballinrush and Garryhill. In 1838, Thomas was appointed PP of Abbeyleix and later built a church at Ballyroan. He died in 1886. 2) Rev. John Nolan (1808-1880) John was appointed Curate of Baltinglass and was responsible for building a church there. In 1867, he was appointed PP of Killeigh in Co. Kildare and while in the area was responsible for building the Convent of Mercy at Rathdangan and the schools in Kildare town. 3) Dr. Joseph Nolan (c1851-1914) [RN: buried in Rathoe] Joseph qualified as an M.D. and was appointed to Tullow Hospital in 1873. Twenty years later he won the coronorship for Co. Carlow by a margin of 600 votes. It is said that, on the night of his victory, bonfires were lit on all the hills of south Carlow county. The same year he was appointed commissioner of the Peace. A keen sportsman who hunted the Carlow hounds, Joseph contracted a fever and died in 1914 aged 63 years. Sometime during his life Joseph bought the Kilconnor property from the Watsons. In 1919, after his death, the Kilconnor property was sold to Nicholas Nolan of Kylemaglush, father of Eddie Nolan who wrote up the Kilconnor Nolan pedigree. Not mentioned in the obituary is another son who was a doctor but who died aged only 28. 4) Dr. Eugene Nolan (c1844-1872) [RN: buried in Myshall] While studying to be a Doctor of Medicine, Eugene participated in several Fenian rebel activities. In particular, it is known that he took part in the "Rising of Tallaght" in Co. Dublin but escaped arrest. Eventually, Eugene obtained his medical degree and became Medical Officer (M.O.) for Castlecomer, Co. Kilkenny. [NOTE re. “Eugene”: I believe that the first name "Eugene" is a variant of the better known first name "Hugh" which was common in the Nolan lines and, harking back to more than 2000 years, a variant of "Ugaine" (recall "Ugaine Mor", a pre-Christian era ancestor of the Nolans of Co. Carlow).

1838. CARLOW SPRING ASSIZES. (CIVIL SIDE.) - BURGESS Appellant, CLOWRY, Respondent. - Coram JOHNSON, J. [CASE] - March. Appellant distrained cattle of the respondent for rent due by the latter as tenant of the former, and civil bill replevin thereupon. The respondent’s case was that the distress was irregular from want of sufficient notice of distress within the statute [STATUTE] - 6 & 7 Will. IV. c. 75, s. 6, but it appeared that he (respondent) had requested and obtained postponement of the sale of the distress, and had, subsequently to the distress, and had subsequently to the distress admitted some rent was due by him to the appellant. [VERDCT] - Held: that the respondent had by such his acts waived the alleged irregularity. [ABRIDGED NOTES - DETAILS] Civil bill replevin by Clowry (the respondent,) against Burgess (the appellant,) under the statute 6 & 7 Will. IV. c. 75. Decree for the respondent, and appeal, &c. The distress which was the subject of the action, was made on the 13th of March, 1837. On the 20th of March, 1837,a notice of distress(a) was served upon the respondent, which notice was in the terms following:— (a) Vide 6 & 7 Will. IV. c. 75, s. 6, which enacts that in all cases of distresses for rent, the person making any such distress shall deliver to the person in possession of the premises, for the rent of which such distress shall be made, or in case there shall not be any person found in possession, shall affix on some conspicuous part of such premises a particular in writing of the rent demanded, specifying the amount thereof, the time or times when the same accrued, and the person by whom, or by whose authority, such distress is made. “Take notice that I have distrained the following cattle for rent, and arrears of rent due to me out of the lands of Killoughternane, amounting to the sum of twenty-seven pounds, eight shillings, arid ten pence, ending the 29th September last. Dated March 13th, 1837.—One horse, one cow, one heifer, and four sheep.” - Henry Burgess. On the same day, (20th March,) the notice of sale of the distress was posted. On the 27th of March the cattle distrained were driven to Bagnalstown, for the purpose of being there sold, but the respondent having requested a postponement for one week, the sale was adjourned accordingly, and on the same day, (27th March,) notice of the adjournment of the sale to the 3rd of April was posted. On the 30th of March, the respondent went with a third party to the appellant, and on that occasion produced a sum of £23 10s., which he said was the rent due by him to the appellant, and handed over that sum to his companion, who walked away with it, without either giving or offering it or any part thereof to the appellant. On the same day, (30th March,) the Clerk of the Peace issued his order of replevin directed to the Sheriff, Which order was in the terms following: - “ORDER OF REPLEVIN. The Sheriff of the County of Carlow is hereby required without delay, to cause to be replevied to Thomas Clowry, (if he shall give sufficient security,) the Goods and Chattels which Henry Burgess unjustly detains. - Signed the 30th day of March, 1837” - Robert Browne, Deputy Clerk of the Peace for the said County of Carlow. On the 31st of March the Sheriff issued his replevin. The civil bill bare date the 18th of March, and was lodged on that day with the Clerk of the Peace, but it was not served on the appellant until a day subsequent to that on which the replevin issued. The tenancy was admitted by the respondent, and that rent was in arrear at the time of the distress made. [CLOWRY’S CASE] On the hearing of the appeal, the respondent contended that the notice of distress was defective in its form, as not containing the particulars required by the statute 6 & 7 Will. IV. c. 75, s. G, and that such a notice as that required by the said section of the Act, ought to have been served previously to the distress made ; that the notice in question, even if good in form, was served too late; that by such alleged defect in his proceedings, the appellant was rendered a trespasser ab initio, and that no subsequent waiver on the part of the respondent or tenant could cure such alleged defect. [BURGESS’ CASE] On the part of the appellant, it was contended, that as a tenancy under the appellant was admitted by the respondent, which fact, with the amount of the rent appearing due, brought the case within the civil bill jurisdiction, it followed, first, that the service of a notice of distress under the sixth section of the said statute, was not requisite, as a condition precedent to the landlord’s title Ito distrain the goods of his tenant for his rent. Secondly, that the tenant having availed himself of the provisions of the Act by replevying, and bringing his civil bill, was estopped from denying the jurisdiction of the Court to decide on the merits of the case. And thirdly, that even though a notice of distress were requisite as a condition precedent to the landlord’s title to distrain, yet that there was sufficient evidence of such notice in the present case, the tenant having waived any irregularity in the service of the notice, by subsequently obtaining an adjournment of the sale, and having also subsequenttlv made an admission, that the rent in respect of which the distress was made was actually due. [OUTCOME] His Lordship, on hearing the appeal,' said he would reserve the questions arising in the case for the consideration of the judges; but on a subsequent day his Lordship said he would take upon himself to decide upon the case, and thereupon informed the parties interested, that he did not think the objections to the appellant’s proceedings relied on by the respondent could be sustained by him in this case, that the acts of the respondent subsequently to the making of the distress, amounted, in his Lordship’s opinion, to a waiver on his (the respondent’s) part of the alleged irregularities or defects in the said proceedings, and that therefore without deciding upon the questions raised by the respondent upon the alleged irregularities and defects, he was of opinion that the decree ought to be reversed.(a) (a) Vide Dwyer v. Peacock, 2 Fox & Smith, 34. Taken from: ABRIDGED NOTES OF CASES ARGUED AND DETERMINED IN THE SEVERAL COURTS OF LAW AND EQUITY IN IRELAND DURING THE YEARS 1837 AND 1838 WITH SOME DECISIONS AT “NISI PRIUS” AND ON THE CIRCUITS, A TABLE OF CASES, AND INDEX TO THE PRINCIPAL MATTERS. - BY GEORGE CRAWFORD AND EDWARD SPENCER DIX, Esqrs., BARRISTERS AT LAW. VOL. I. “ Arbitramentum Equum tribuit cuique Suum.” - Noy's Maxims. DUBLIN HODGES AND SMITH, COLLEGE-GREEN. M.DCCC.XXX IX. Pages 350 – 353 (ABRIDGED NOTES OF CASES.) [Basic Overview by Trevor Clowry] Thomas Clowry owed Henry Burgess rent. Burgess took animals worth the amount due to him on 13th March from Thomas Clowrys farm. Clowry asked Burgess for a postponement of the sale of the animals so he could get the rent together but eventually did not pay Burgess. Burgess served a notice of distress on Clowry on the 20th March. Clowry argued due to a statute, the notice of distress should have been served before the animals were taken but admitted that the rent was due – and therefore Burgess had been trepassing. Burgess argued that because Clowry had admitted owing the rent and asking for the postponement, that the mistakes that Burgess made when serving the distress notice should be waived. The judge found in favour of Burgess.

Paula, I don't know an oarlock from a boatswain, but I do know the Carlow Rowers Club has been in existence since 1859. They may have something in their records about the local boat industry of that time.

Dear Michael,  Perhaps a call or note from you to Adam's boss praising him could help turn his temp status to permanent?  I know I appreciate it when a customer of mine tells the boss what a great job I did.

Is this index of baptismal register in addition to the one that Cara transcribed a couple of years ago. I think hers went from around 1830 to about 1842. I assume we are talking about St. Patrick's Church in Rathvilly. I am interested in finding anything concerning Edward Byrne and Julia Brien, both their baptism and marriage plus anything on siblings.

1838. CARLOW SPRING ASSIZES. (CIVIL SIDE.) - BURGESS Appellant, CLOWRY, Respondent. - Coram JOHNSON, J. [CASE] - March. Appellant distrained cattle of the respondent for rent due by the latter as tenant of the former, and civil bill replevin thereupon. The respondent’s case was that the distress was irregular from want of sufficient notice of distress within the statute [STATUTE] - 6 & 7 Will. IV. c. 75, s. 6, but it appeared that he (respondent) had requested and obtained postponement of the sale of the distress, and had, subsequently to the distress, and had subsequently to the distress admitted some rent was due by him to the appellant. [VERDCT] - Held: that the respondent had by such his acts waived the alleged irregularity. [ABRIDGED NOTES - DETAILS] Civil bill replevin by Clowry (the respondent,) against Burgess (the appellant,) under the statute 6 & 7 Will. IV. c. 75. Decree for the respondent, and appeal, &c. The distress which was the subject of the action, was made on the 13th of March, 1837. On the 20th of March, 1837,a notice of distress(a) was served upon the respondent, which notice was in the terms following:— (a) Vide 6 & 7 Will. IV. c. 75, s. 6, which enacts that in all cases of distresses for rent, the person making any such distress shall deliver to the person in possession of the premises, for the rent of which such distress shall be made, or in case there shall not be any person found in possession, shall affix on some conspicuous part of such premises a particular in writing of the rent demanded, specifying the amount thereof, the time or times when the same accrued, and the person by whom, or by whose authority, such distress is made. “Take notice that I have distrained the following cattle for rent, and arrears of rent due to me out of the lands of Killoughternane, amounting to the sum of twenty-seven pounds, eight shillings, arid ten pence, ending the 29th September last. Dated March 13th, 1837.—One horse, one cow, one heifer, and four sheep.” - Henry Burgess. On the same day, (20th March,) the notice of sale of the distress was posted. On the 27th of March the cattle distrained were driven to Bagnalstown, for the purpose of being there sold, but the respondent having requested a postponement for one week, the sale was adjourned accordingly, and on the same day, (27th March,) notice of the adjournment of the sale to the 3rd of April was posted. On the 30th of March, the respondent went with a third party to the appellant, and on that occasion produced a sum of £23 10s., which he said was the rent due by him to the appellant, and handed over that sum to his companion, who walked away with it, without either giving or offering it or any part thereof to the appellant. On the same day, (30th March,) the Clerk of the Peace issued his order of replevin directed to the Sheriff, Which order was in the terms following: - “ORDER OF REPLEVIN. The Sheriff of the County of Carlow is hereby required without delay, to cause to be replevied to Thomas Clowry, (if he shall give sufficient security,) the Goods and Chattels which Henry Burgess unjustly detains. - Signed the 30th day of March, 1837” - Robert Browne, Deputy Clerk of the Peace for the said County of Carlow. On the 31st of March the Sheriff issued his replevin. The civil bill bare date the 18th of March, and was lodged on that day with the Clerk of the Peace, but it was not served on the appellant until a day subsequent to that on which the replevin issued. The tenancy was admitted by the respondent, and that rent was in arrear at the time of the distress made. [CLOWRY’S CASE] On the hearing of the appeal, the respondent contended that the notice of distress was defective in its form, as not containing the particulars required by the statute 6 & 7 Will. IV. c. 75, s. G, and that such a notice as that required by the said section of the Act, ought to have been served previously to the distress made ; that the notice in question, even if good in form, was served too late; that by such alleged defect in his proceedings, the appellant was rendered a trespasser ab initio, and that no subsequent waiver on the part of the respondent or tenant could cure such alleged defect. [BURGESS’ CASE] On the part of the appellant, it was contended, that as a tenancy under the appellant was admitted by the respondent, which fact, with the amount of the rent appearing due, brought the case within the civil bill jurisdiction, it followed, first, that the service of a notice of distress under the sixth section of the said statute, was not requisite, as a condition precedent to the landlord’s title Ito distrain the goods of his tenant for his rent. Secondly, that the tenant having availed himself of the provisions of the Act by replevying, and bringing his civil bill, was estopped from denying the jurisdiction of the Court to decide on the merits of the case. And thirdly, that even though a notice of distress were requisite as a condition precedent to the landlord’s title to distrain, yet that there was sufficient evidence of such notice in the present case, the tenant having waived any irregularity in the service of the notice, by subsequently obtaining an adjournment of the sale, and having also subsequenttlv made an admission, that the rent in respect of which the distress was made was actually due. [OUTCOME] His Lordship, on hearing the appeal,' said he would reserve the questions arising in the case for the consideration of the judges; but on a subsequent day his Lordship said he would take upon himself to decide upon the case, and thereupon informed the parties interested, that he did not think the objections to the appellant’s proceedings relied on by the respondent could be sustained by him in this case, that the acts of the respondent subsequently to the making of the distress, amounted, in his Lordship’s opinion, to a waiver on his (the respondent’s) part of the alleged irregularities or defects in the said proceedings, and that therefore without deciding upon the questions raised by the respondent upon the alleged irregularities and defects, he was of opinion that the decree ought to be reversed.(a) (a) Vide Dwyer v. Peacock, 2 Fox & Smith, 34. Taken from: ABRIDGED NOTES OF CASES ARGUED AND DETERMINED IN THE SEVERAL COURTS OF LAW AND EQUITY IN IRELAND DURING THE YEARS 1837 AND 1838 WITH SOME DECISIONS AT “NISI PRIUS” AND ON THE CIRCUITS, A TABLE OF CASES, AND INDEX TO THE PRINCIPAL MATTERS. - BY GEORGE CRAWFORD AND EDWARD SPENCER DIX, Esqrs., BARRISTERS AT LAW. VOL. I. “ Arbitramentum Equum tribuit cuique Suum.” - Noy's Maxims. DUBLIN HODGES AND SMITH, COLLEGE-GREEN. M.DCCC.XXX IX. Pages 350 – 353 (ABRIDGED NOTES OF CASES.) [Basic Overview by Trevor Clowry] Thomas Clowry owed Henry Burgess rent. Burgess took animals worth the amount due to him on 13th March from Thomas Clowrys farm. Clowry asked Burgess for a postponement of the sale of the animals so he could get the rent together but eventually did not pay Burgess. Burgess served a notice of distress on Clowry on the 20th March. Clowry argued due to a statute, the notice of distress should have been served before the animals were taken but admitted that the rent was due – and therefore Burgess had been trepassing. Burgess argued that because Clowry had admitted owing the rent and asking for the postponement, that the mistakes that Burgess made when serving the distress notice should be waived. The judge found in favour of Burgess.

[ note added by Michael Purcell 2012. - Estimate for repairs dated 1847 from Richard Annesley Rainsford, Coach Builder of Cox's Lane , Carlow. According to Henrietta Maria Hickey in her letter "Not we from Kings but Kings from us" Richard Annesley-Rainsford was the illegitimate descendant of The Lord Altham, Governor of Wexford. Richard claimed blood relationship to the Earl of Anglesey, the Earl of Rutland, the Countess of Dorchester and Sir Richard Raynsford. " Henrietta wrote "Richard was treated with deference by the gentry of the county, many of whom held doubts regarding the claims made on their own pedigree charts, they believed that Richard, now the Tradesman, emerged badly in the settlement of the Earl's affairs". It was said that Robert Louis Stevenson based his novel "Kidnapped" on the exploits of The Lord Altham. In 1872 his son Richard Rainsford married Susan Woodhouse in St Mary's Church, Castle Street, Carlow. Her father was John Woodhouse, a shoemaker who lived on Dublin Street, now a hair dressers beside O'Loughlin's pub . Susan's sister Mary Ann Woodhouse was married to Sam Hunt, Sam operated a harness making business on the corner of Browne Street / Dublin Street, where Lambert's shop is now situated ]. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ To the Board of the Gaol of Carlow.
