Magennis, the Rector of Rathvilly, with the sum of £500, as his subscription towards the repairs and improvement of the Parochial Church of Rathvilly. This munificent donation reflects credit on the kind and generous donor, who thus secures encreased accommodation in the Parochial Church of his ancestors. [ article underneath ] CAPTAIN M'CLINTOCK BUNBURY, M.P. -- We are gratified to learn that Captain Bunbury, who was ill from influenza in London, is in a state of convalescence, and will in a few days be able to attend his parliamentary duties. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ THE CARLOW SENTINEL. April 22, 1849. LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. CAPTURE OF TWO SHEEP-STEALERS. About four o'clock on the morning of the 19th April 1849, two notorious characters, named James Kehoe and James Nolan, were arrested by Constable Cox and a party of Constabulary, while on patrol in the vicinity of the town. They were concealed on the Railway, having in their possession the carcases of three sheep, which were subsequently identified as the property of Captain B. McClintock Bunbury, M.P., and had been killed on the lands of Moyle. The prisoners, who are professional sheep-stealers, were fully committed by C.H.Tuckey, Esquire, Resident Magistrate, to abide their trial at the ensuing Quarter Sessions. Much credit is due to Constable Cox and his party for the capture of two of a gang who live by the plunder of the gentry and farmers of the neighbourhood. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ THE CARLOW SENTINEL. May 5th 1849. LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. CAPTURE OF A SHEEP-STEALER. On Thursday, Patrick Lucas, a notorious sheep-stealer who absconded some weeks since, was committed to the county gaol by Charles H. Tuckey, Esquire, Resident Magistrate. Lucas was one of the gang concerned in killing two sheep, the property of Captain B. McClintock Bunbury, M.P., and escaped the morning of the capture of his companions ; he was pursued to England by Constable Cox, who, following closely in his track, arrested Lucas near Grantham. Much credit is due to this active constable for his zeal and activity in effecting the capture of the last of this gang of marauders.

Excellent, many thanks Mick & co. Constable Cox was clearly not to be trifled with if he'd follow you all the way to England. Thank you for this.
