    3. Carlow Sentinel. February 1835. Examination of persons presenting themselves at the Court-house, Carlow, as eligible to vote. Monday - Second day. Patrick Hickey was cross-examined by Mr Hayes. Hayes - who sent you here to register ? Hickey - Father Tyrrell sent me . Hayes - Did you come here voluntarily ? Hickey - By no means, but I could not help it. Hayes - When did you see Father Tyrrell ? Hickey - I saw him yesterday at the Chapel of Bennekerry with Mr Bunbury, who was at mass !! ( laughter. ). Hayes - What did Father Tyrrell order you to do ?. Hickey - He spoke from the Altar and told me I had a vote and should register it ; My Bunbury did the same. Hayes- Was that the sermon Mr Tyrrell preached ?. Hickey - It was. This man after long examination, in which he evinced no anxiety to register, was rejected for insufficiency of value. Up to Tuesday evening the Conservatives registered fourteen and the Radicals only two -- notwithstanding their exertions to smuggle a hatch of paupers from the Ridge of Old Leighlin into the franchise system. The Barrister adjourned the court to Friday - and proceeded on his way to Bagenalstown and Tullow.
