[ note added 2013 - not sure why the dates differ on this report, Mick might throw some light on this when he returns ] Carlow Sentinel. 17th August 1850. Carlow Petty Sessions - Monday - May 12th. ASSAULT. Patrick Hughes was charged by Edward Nolan and Daniel Moore with having on the evening of the 5th instant, assaulted them. The plaintiff proved the charge, which was corroborated by a man named Bowles. The mother of the defendant appeared and after ably cross-examining the plaintiffs, exhibited a shirt covered with blood, caused by the blows which the plaintiffs inflicted on her son, the defendant, from the effects of which he was then unable to attend. The Bench ordered the defendant to be imprisoned one fortnight for each offence.

I have no idea why the date May 12th appears attached to this report, possibly the case was adjourned from the Sessions sitting in May to the August Sessions ?.
