It is our painful duty this week to record the death of Henry Theophilus KILBEE, Esq. J.P., which took place at his residence, Drumkeen House, late last night.

"The Anglo Celt" Cavan; Thursday, November 4, 1852 SUMMARY OF NEWS The total number of prisoners in gaols in Ireland, amounted in 1851, January 1, 9,081; in 1852, to the same date, 8,803, showing a diminution of 1,181. Denis RYAN, a young man of quiet and respectably appearance, and a private soldier in the 17th Regiment, has been convicted of the manslaughter of one William SAVAGE, on the 7th of August last, at the Linen Hall Barrocks (sic). - Sentence deferred. Mark FLAHERTY, an urchin scarcely over twelve years old, concealed himself and committed a robbery in the shop of Mr. James O'BRIEN, grocer, 33 Lower Ship-street. The only mode by which the culprit could have contrived to secret himself in the palace was by stealing in unobserved sometime during the business hours on the evening before, and stowing himself away amongst the casks and tea chests, thus remained concealed until the family had gone to rest. He was sentenced to be privately whipped and imprisoned for two months with hard labour. NEW POOR LAW INSPECTORS. - Eleven temporary Inspectors have been dispensed with, and from the following gentlemen have been selected to fill the offices of additional Second Class Permanent Inspectors at Salaries of $500, per annum. Captain HAMILTON, R. HAMILTON, John HALL, W. H. LUCAS, W. P. O'BRIEN, H. ROBINSON, and S. HORNSBY, Esqs. HOSTILE RECONTRE. - At the Royal Dublin Society, on Monday afternoon, an encounter of a most disagreeable nature took place. Major Fairfield had just entered the hall of the Society in company with one or two gentlemen, and was proceeding to the lawn, when Mr. Henry Mac Dermott, barrister at law, walked rapidly after him, and on coming up with him uttered some very strong epithets, adding, "I have caught you at last;" and on Major Fairfield turning hastily round, Mr. Mac Dermott struck him two or three severe blows with a heavy horsewhip. Major Fairfield, on finding himself assaulted, hastily retreated, calling loudly for the interference of the police, several of whom were stationed at the door and about the premises. They with several gentlemen interfered, and prevented any further assault. Mr. Mac Dermott exclaimed, "That's Major Fairfield, and I have whipped the _______ for insulting my wife." The police in a short time suffered the assailant to withdraw, and ! the matter has so far terminated. THE FRACAS AT THE ROYAL DUBLIN SOCIETY - In consequences of what took place between Mr. Henry M'DERMOTT and Major FAIRFIELD, on Monday last, these gentlemen proceeded yesterday morning to St. Catherine's, near Lucan. Major Fairfield was attended by Captain J. A. O'NEILL, and Mr. M'DERMOT by Captain Robinson. Mr. M'Dermott received Major Fairfield's fire, and discharged his pistol in the air. Explanations then took place, which proved perfectly satisfactory to all parties. Major Fairfield and Mr. M'Dermott having shaken hands, the affair terminated. Several curious antique coins have been recently discovered by workmen employed in the excavations now progressing in the bed of the Galway river. The material of the metal is brass; the inscriptions are an obliterated figure of an old style of ship, and the date 1530. "Cavan County Newspaper Transcription Project"

I am writing a History on my Lynch/Cusack, Lynch/Maguire, Maguire/Fay, families of Seefin, Tonnyduff, Seeoran areas and this book would provide some much needed background information.

ANGLO CELT - September 8, 1853 ------------------------------ COOTEHILL PETTY SESSIONS. SATURDAY, AUGUST 27, Before John VEEVERS, Esq., R.M., Bailieborough, in the first instance, solus, but he was subsequently joined by Eyre COOTE, Esq. VIOLENT ASSAULT SO AS TO ENDANGER LIFE. James TRAYNOR v. John M'GLADE, Shoemaker, Andrew CLARKE, labourer, Susan FLOODY, and Richard John MAGEE. They were arraigned, for having on the night of Friday, 5th August, (the three latter having been in custody ever since, in consequence of Surgeon James SHARP, the medical attendant of the district, having certified that the complainant's life was in imminent danger) assaulted him, complainant, by striking him a violent blow with a stone on the forehead, which caused a concussion of the brain. The complainant stated on being sworn, that he did charge the defendant, MAGEE, with having struck him with a stone, which caused his so serious illness, but he found that he was quite mistaken, and that he had no recollection or knew no more of the matter, therefore MAGEE after a serious caution from the intelligent magistrate (Mr. VEEVERS), was discharged ; and Andrew CLARKE, and John M'GLADE were upon the evidence of said Susan FLOODY, (who, under a wrong impression of the case, was admitted as an approver), Edward GREENAN, and George SHEILS, convicted and sentenced to pay a fine o! f £4 and costs, or be imprisoned for two months each at hard labour, his worship (Mr. VEEVERS) stating at same time that he regretted much that the legislature did not empower him as a magistrate, to inflict a longer time of imprisonment, as the offence was of a very serious nature -- the Italian spirrhi mode of assassinating, or attempting to assasinate(sic), innocent and inoffensive parties on the public streets without cause or motive for so doing ; and that such a system should be put down with the strong arm of the law, and that the punishment to be inflicted upon the parties convicted was not done, so much to punish them as to deter other persons from the perpetration of similar offences ; and, he hoped for the credit of the constabulary force in this country that they would make or at least endeavour to make the parties convicted of this heinous offence amenable to the law, as the warrant for their apprehension should remain in force until rescinded by a court of comp! etent jurisdiction. Our Reporter informs us that the real facts of the case are as follows, although they were not proved in evidence before the court : -- The complainant, who, it was evident, had made up his mind to prosecute, and if the matter depended upon him there would have been no conviction, had a cart and horse (he being a carrier), laden with butter, and about to proceed with same to Dundalk at about a 1/4 past 10 o'clock on the night in question, it being the market night of Cootehill, and whilst so engaged, Susan Floody accosted him, and he not acceding(sic) to her terms, an altercation ensued, when, in self-protection, he threatened to use a whip with which he was armed, whereupon she ran up the street, and procured the persons convicted, and others not amenable, to commit the deadly assault upon the complainant, and against whom she, to protect and save herself, because what is termed a stag or approver ; it is, therefore, to be hoped, that this fact will have a salutary effect u! pon others, not to be influenced by such wretches in the commission of offences of a similar nature in future. ASSAULT UPON A BLINK IRISH HARPER, AND BREAKING HIS HARP. James M;CAULEY, a blind Irish Harper, v. Michael KEONE The defendant, a blacksmith, was convicted and sentenced to six weeks' imprisonment at hard labour, for having, on the 24th August, assaulted complainant, and broken his harp, in Cootehill. It appeared in evidence that the defendant was drunk, and requested the complainant to play some favourite tune of his, which he declined to do, whereupon he assaulted him and broke his harp, which he received from the Belfast Irish Harp Institution, in which he was taught as dark or blind pupil. The defendant was fined one pound for the assault and one pound for the injury done to the harp, with costs. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- County Cavan Newspaper Transcription Project

The Lord Primate's triennial visitation of the diocese of Kilmore was held in Cavan Church on Friday, the 29th ultimo. Joseph Radcliffe, Esq., L.L. D., Vicar-General of the diocese of Armagh, presided in the absence of the Primate. The annual visitation of the Diocese of Kilmore was held on the same day. The Venerable Archdeacon Beresford, Vicar-General of the diocese of Kilmore, acted in the absence of the Lord Bishop of Kilmore. CONFIRMATION IN THE DIOCESE OF KILMORE -- On Friday, the 5th instant, the Right Rev. John Leslie, D.D., Lord Bishop of Kilmore, Elphin, and Ardagh, held a confirmation in the Church of Cavan, for the children of the adjoining parishes -- Cavan, Denn, Drung and Larragh, Castleterra, Kilmore and Ballintemple. Four hundred and fifteen your persons were confirmed by his Lordship on that occasion. At an ordination held by the Lord Bishop of Kilmore, &c., in the parish church of Cavan, on Sunday, the 7th of August, 1853, the following gentlemen were ordained deacons, viz : - 1. Ralph James Hope, A.B., for the parish of Kilmore, and diocese of Kilmore. 2. Wm. Wallace, A.B., and Schol., for Killeshandra parish, and diocese of Kilmore. 3. Hugh John Flynn, A.B., for Elphin parish, in the diocese of Elphin. The Lord Bishop was assisted by the Ven. the Archdeacon of Ardagh ; the Rev. Thomas Carson, L.L.D., Rev. Chas. Leslie, A.M., Rev. William Moore Wilkins, A.M., Rev. R. H. Stone, A.M. The oaths were administered by R. Erskine, the Registrar. PROTESTANT ORPHAN SOCIETY FOR THE COUNTY CAVAN. -- This highly meritorious society, held its seventh annual meeting on Monday, the 8th instant, in Lord Farnham's school-house Cavan. The meeting was very well attended. Amongst the persons who were present we noticed our venerable Bishop ; ever a warm supporter of the claims of the orphans and widow(sic) ; Lady Farnham, Lady Catherine Saunderson, the Hon. the Misses Stapleton, Mrs. and the Misses Carson, Mrs. W. A. Moore, A. M. Creight, C. Leslie, A. Knox, Wm. Wilkins, Dr. Roe, Capt. Phillips, &c. The Lord Bishop of Kilmore presided. The report was read by the Rev. Mr. Stone, in the absence of the Secretary, the Rev. Dr. Taylor. From that report it appeared that the total number of orphans that have been protected by this valuable society from its foundation was 89, of whom 37 have been provided for permanently, either by having apprenticed to trades, or taken by their friends or relatives, and that but two have died -- leaving 50 orphans in the care of the society. The meeting, which was opened with prayer, was addressed by the Rev. F. Saunderson, Rev. A. M'Creight, Rev. W. Moore, Rev. M. Bouchin, Dr. Roe, Capt. Phillips, &c. The Rev. F. Saunderson pronounced a well-deserved eulogium on the late lamented secretary of the society, the Rev. Thomas Skelton, whose death from fever -- contracted in the discharge of his duties as a parochial minister -- took place some time back at Ballyjamesduff. In the death of this most estimable servant of God, the County Cavan Protestant Orphan Society has lost one of its warmest supporters - its most strenuous and successful advocates. We understand that the clergy of the diocese have resolved to erect a tablet to his memory in the church of Ballyjsamesduff, of which he was the minister, on which, especial reference is to be made of his untiring zeal in the cause of Protestant orphans. ----------------- CAVAN PETTY SESSIONS -- AUGUST 1. Magistrates present - Theophilus Thompson, R. Erskine, and W. Smith, Esqrs. Patt Walsh v. Anne Smith. This case was for an assault and forcible possession. Patt Walsh, it appeared, is brother of Anne Smith, whose mother attended with her and stated to the bench that it was she who invited her daughter to enter her own garden. The Bench thought it disgraceful to Walsh to differ with his mother and sister so far as to bring one of them before a bench of Justices. The bench having enquired if Walsh wished to proceed against his sister, he (Walsh) replied in the affirmative, which elicited a sensation of disapprobation from those who filled the court. P. Walsh proved that, on the 20th of July he went to the garden in question, and began to dig and throw up clay there, and that whilst there this woman Smith and her son came ; she desired him to go away out of the garden. He replied that he would not, whereupon she struck him with a stone, but he could not say she held it in her hand. Her son also struck him with a shovel handle, which he (Walsh) took from him and struck him with. They do not live in the same house but on the same street. Walsh is a married man, and his father died about Candlemass. The entire parties are married. Charles Foy proved that at the time a division was about to be made in the farm, and a settlement made between Walsh and his landlord, he was called in as an umpire at a settlement between the parties, that then the son was to get eight acres, and the father was to have four, that in consequence of the son agreeing to leave the entire of the meadow to the old man, it was allowed that he (the son) should have the cabbage garden till he would have time to make one for himself. P. Walsh thought that he got the garden with the rest of the farm. Their worships dismissed the case. -------------------- CHILD DESERTION. Michael Boylan v. Ellen Abenth. Anne M'Cormick examined by Mr. Hamilton -- Lives with M. Boylan ; he is her uncle, knows Ellen Abenth ; was in the house when she came there about two weeks ago ; she had a child ; asked a drink ; she got the drink ; she asked me to hold the child till she would tie her apron ; she asked for M. Boylan and was told he was down the hill ; she said he was the father of the child ; there was another woman in the house. Ellen Monaghan -- Never saw Mr. Boylan before this day ; heard nothing of the child unless by hearsay ; did not hear its mother saw that Owen Downey was its father ; does not know what child she fathered on Boylan ; saw a child with her. At the desire of Mr. Boylan, the mother of the child, was sworn and proved that beyond doubt Boylan is the father of the child. The bench dismissed the case, and advised Boylan to take care of his child. Thomas Watson was fined 1£, for an assault on Mr. John Reilly on the 26th of July, at the market-place in Cavan. Margaret M'Keirnan v. Thomas Heaslip, for an assault on the 28th July. She lived with Heaslip as servant, and becoming ill, left his service and went home. Her sister milked the cows during her illness, and was charged by Mr. Heaslip with taking a pair of socks. Her sister took an oath before Mr. and Mrs. Heaslip that she knew nothing of the socks, whereupon Mrs. Heaslip desired Mr. Heaslip to rise and kick her out, which he did, and beat both of them. Anne M'Keirnan, sister to complainant, corroborated the evidence of the sister. Mr. Heaslip had Margaret M'Keirnan summoned for leaving her service, and so far as this was concerned he was heard as an evidence. Mrs. Heaslip was next examined, but nothing was elicited from her to materially affect the testimony of the M'Keirnans. Heaslip having admitted that on one occasion he pulled M'Keirnan's ear, the Bench after consulting a few minutes, dismissed the case, against M'Keirnan. Dismissed Margaret M'Keirnan from service, allowing her her wages from the 12th May till the 1st of August, and fined Heaslip 5s. for the assault. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- County Cavan Newspaper Transcription Project -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- County Cavan Newspaper Transcription Project

At Baillieborough, county of Cavan, Patrick Monaghan, Esq., of Drogheda, to Bridget, second daughter of the late Thomas Farrelly, Esq., merchant. BIRTH. On the 23rd ult., at Kilmore Rectory, County monaghan, the wife of the Rev. Thomas P. P. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CATHOLIC CHURCH. On Wednesday, the 27th ult., the Right Rev. Dr. Browne, Roman Catholic Bishop of this diocese, conferred the Sacrament of Confirmation in the parochial church of Upper Larah, to nearly 400 children. This church is of considerable architectural beauty, and has been extremely well planned on the great Catholic principle of the medieval period, when ornament was made subservient to use. There has been also erected a handsome belfry attached to the church. The bell is distinctly heard in every part of a circuit of three miles from the place where it hangs, and tones are mellow, solemn, and musical. Such religious monuments, particularly when they are found in rural parishes, fill the soul with devotion, and raise the heart to God. This neat church was erected in the year 1829 by the late Rev. Peter Lamb, and will stand for ages, the fruit of his toil and exertions, and the monument of his faith and his zeal. He might well say "Lord I have loved the beauty of thy House, and the place where thy Glory dwelleth." After Mass the Right Rev. Prelate examined the children on the nature and efficacy of the sacraments, and the dispositions necessary to receive them with fruit. His Lordship was pleased with the answers given to his searching questions, and complimented the respected Parish Priest, the Rev. Michael Brady, and the Rev. James Cleary, C.C., on the care and attention bestowed upon the preparatory instruction of the children, and the perfect manner in which they were taught. He then ascended the altar, and delivered a most impressive sermon, explaining in the most clear and lucid manner, the nature of the sacrament, the ceremonies accompanying, and the dispositions for receiving it. Attired in his robes he proceeded to the middle of the altar, where he commenced the initiatory prayers pertaining to the sacred rite, after which he descended to the body of the chapel, and there applied the Holy Chrism to the foreheads of those who would be true soldiers of Jesus Christ. After t! he administration of the sacrament his Lordship addressed the children again, who afforded, in their subdued manner and pious demeanour, ample testimony that the impressed admonition was not addressed to them in vain. The satisfactory manner in which the children were instructed may be chiefly attributed to the Sunday schools which are fostered and encouraged by the Parish Priest, wherein thousands of little children learn the rudiments of truth, and prove that the Pastor, like his Divine Master, has a care for :the little ones.." National schools are also in operation in this parish, where the children of every denomination are taught to love one another, and to mingle together in peaceful strain like those tributary currents which minister to our great estuaries without murmuring about the nature or distance of their respective springs. About four o'clock the ceremonies concluded after the Bishop had given his Apostolic Benediction to the children, who were heard to li! sp forth thanksgiving to the God of Heaven for all the graces they received upon that day. In the evening, the Right Rev. Dr. Browne was hospitably entertained by the Rev. Michael Brady, P.P., at his beautiful and romantic residence, Ravenswood. Twenty-two clergymen of the neighbouring parishes met his Lordship at dinner, together with a number of lay gentlemen, amongst whom was Philip M'Dermott, Esq., M.D., the celebrated antiquarian and learned annotator of the Annals of the Four Masters. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We are glad to have to inform our readers that the Right Rev. Dr. Browne has conferred the honour of Vicar-General on the Rev. Mathew M'Quaid, P.P. of Killeshandra, in consequence of which Mr. M'Quaid has been removed to the town of Baillieborough, in the place of the late lamented Rev. Philip O'Rielly. We are informed that the parishioners of Killeshandra and Arva are about presenting Mr. M'Quaid with a piece of Plate as a token of the esteem in which they held him as their pastor for the last four years. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- County Cavan Newspaper Transcription Project

ANGLO CELT - July 21, 1853 Part one of three We have received the following letter from Dr. M'GAURAN of Cootehill, relative to some mistakes which occurred in our report of his evidence in the case of the Queen v. Rooney, which we published last week. We hope the Doctor will excuse these mistakes as the noise in court prevented us from catching the words exactly as they were spoken : -- TO THE EDITOR OF THE ANGLO-CELT Cootehill, July. MR. EDITOR. - In your Anglo-Celt I am reported as having said that, matter could not exist in contact with brain or envelopes without delirium, is a solecism in pathology. My opinion is quite the contrary ; my meaning and also my expression was, that matter could affect the brain or its covering without causing delirium, was a solecism in pathology. Margolin was a Professor in pathology in Paris. I never mentioned Venice. I gave his authority has having his published lectures in my possession. Mr. Editor - if you think the above statement necessary to vindicate my profession reputation, you would oblige me by inserting the above in your next paper. - Yours, P. M'GAURAN ACCIDENT TO JOHN VEEVERS, Esq., R.M. - We regret to be informed that Mr. Veevers, R.M., (now residing in Bailieborough), met with a serious accident on his return from the assizes of Carrick-on-Shannon (Sharnon?), on Saturday last, by the fracture of one of his arms. The other arm was also severely injured, but we are happy to learn that he is progressing favourably. THE CROPS. - During the last week we have made several strict inquiries relative to the condition of the crops in this locality, and, are happy to learn that, without exception, they are progressing favourably, and promise a most abundant harvest. The potatoe, in particular, is remarkably sound and healthy. None of the numerous complaints which were so prevalent this time last year, concerning its failure, having reached me.

ANGLO CELT - July 21, 1853 - part two of three ASSIZES INTELLIGENCE CROWN COURT - TUESDAY, JULY 12. (Continued from our last.) CAUTION TO CORONERS EMPLOYING MEDICAL WITNESSES AT INQUESTS. Whilst Judge TORRENS was engaged in flating the presentments, an application having been made by Mr. J. BERRY, one of the coroners of the county, to allow certain fees to Doctor WADE of Belturbet for attending and giving evidence at a number of inquests which he had held since last assizes, and which the grand jury refused to make presentments for, his lordship inquired into the nature and merits of each case, some of which he disallowed, and when doing so remarked that it was the duty of coroners to put the ratepayers to the expense of the fees of medical gentlemen for attendance at inquests where there did not appear an obvious necessity for their doing so - for instance, where persons came by their death from natural causes - and that it was the opinion of the judges that such fees should not be allowed. His lordship added that he had known instances where coroners were in the habit of bringing medical gentlemen about the country with them to hold inquests; and he begged! leave to give public notice to all coroners who might be then within his hearing, that he would in future inquire into every case where a fee had been certified by a coroner for the attendance of a medical witness at an inquest, and disallowed same where he conceived there did not appear a necessity for such attendance. Mr. BERRY inquired of his lordship if the jury should require the attendance of a medical witness, would he be justified in complying with the request? His lordship, in reply, said that when such would occur he (the coroner) should exercise his own discretion. RECORD COURT - TUESDAY, JULY 12. (Before Chief Baron Pigott.) SPECIAL JURY CASE. Cosby Thomas Nesbitt v. John M'Manus. The following gentlemen were empanelled and sworn as a special jury to try the case, viz.: -- Richard FOX, Esq., J.P., foreman; Abraham BRUSH, Esq., J.P., James HAMILTON, Esq., J.P., Henry SARGEANT, Esq., J.P., John ELLIOT, Esq., John DAVIS, Esq., Alexander CLEMENGER, Esq., Isaiah GIBSON, Esq., Edward M'INTOSH, Esq., J.., Richard CLARKE, Esq., John GUMLEY, Esq., J.P., and Wm. FARIS, Esq. Mr. RICHARDSON opened the pleadings. He stated that it was an action in ejectment upon the title, brought at the suit of the plaintiff (a gentleman residing in the city of London, who is a large landed proprietor of this county) against the defendant, a respectable gentleman farmer residing at Cormeen, near Ballyjamesduff, for recovery of the townland of Aughalion, situate in the parish and barony of Castleraghan, in this county, containing by estimation about 120 acres Irish plantation measure, at the annual rent of 10s. per acre, held by the defendant from plaintiff, as tenant from year to year, which tenancy expired by reason of a notice to quit having been served upon him on the 28th October, 1852, requiring possession of the premises on the 1st May last. Mr. MAJOR, Q.C., stated the case to the jury on behalf of the plaintiff, which in substance was to the following effect: -- A lease of the premises was made by a person of the name of James TUITE, the original owner of the lands, from whom the ancestors of the plaintiff derived, to a person of the name of Samuel CHARLESTON, bearing date 30th September, 1782, for three lives and thirty-one years; the lives were Samuel DAVIDSON, Anna CHARLETON, and Wm. CHARLETON, two nephews, and a niece of the lessor, who, together with his niece and nephew, Samuel DAVIDSON, having died early in the present century, and Wm. CHARLETON, the surety(?) on succeeded to the property, and a Mr. Bernard M'MANUS, father of the defendant, having been agent to Mr. SAMUEL; was continued in the same capacity by William CHARLETON, the then owner and last surviving life or cestu qui vie in said lease ; the defendant, John M'MANUS, the son of said Bernard, as before stated, married the daughter of said Wm. C! HARLETON, and after his death succeeded to the property. This William CHARLETON, having left the country some time about the years 1813, 1814, or 1815, has never been heard of since, and is supposed to have died about that time, or shortly after ; but at all events he has not been in this country, nor has he been heard of ever since ; the 31 years consequently expired in the year 1845, or in that of 1846, and the tenure in the lease having commenced in September, 1782, consequently the seven years permitted by the statute, 7th Wm. III, to elapse after the last life in the lease had been heard of in the country, had expired on the 1st November 1851, or at farthest on the 1st November, 1852, and on the 28th October last (a few days previous) a notice to quit was served upon the defendant, he being then merely a tenant at will, or tenant from year to year, requiring him to quit and deliver up the promises in question on the 1st of May last ; it is true, that although the tenan! cy or tenure in the lease commenced in September, 1782 ; the first gale (i.e.) the first half year's rent by special agreement, was not to become due and payable until November, 1783, but the regular gale days for payment of the rent, were 1st May and 1st November, therefore the tenure commenced on 1st November, 1782. The first witness produced on behalf of the plaintiff was - Wm. TATLOW, Esq., agent for Mr. NESBITT, examined by Mr. Robert JOHNSTON - the substance of whose evidence was, that the defendant was tenant to the plaintiff, and as such, paid him rent, and on being cross-examined by Mr. John BROOKE, Q.C., on behalf of defendant, admitted that he had brought an ejectment in the superior court for non-payment of rent, and obtained judgment and a habere facies against defendant, which he had executed, and the usual six months lease given ; however, the amount of rent and cash having been subsequently paid to him on behalf of plaintiff, the defendant was restored to his original position ; did cause a distress to be made upon the tenants of the defendant at their request, for rent due up to the 1st of May, shortly or immediately after that period ; and if it was a harsh proceeding, it was done at their instance, and to protect them, as he was constantly a defaulter in the payment of the head rent ; does not conceive that that proceeding was a waver(sic) of the notice to quit served at his instance upon defendant ; made an affidavit as agent verifying the declaration in ejectment as to the amount of the rent due, but does not conceive, although an attorney, ! that his doing so, was an admission that the lease under which the defendant held, had not expired. Edward FITZSIMONS examined by Mr. RICHARDSON - Knew a Mr. William CHARLETON, he was landlord of the lands of Aughalion, the lands in question ; saw him in the year 1814 on the lands - the last time he was on the lands, and he then heard him say that he was the last and surviving life in the lease, as the other two lives in it were dead ; that Mr. CHARLETON's daughter was married to the defendant. Cross-examined by Mr. LOWRY - Slept in the gaol last night ; has been there for the last three weeks for having unregistered arms ; was in gaol before ; told the story that he now tells about what he heard Mr. CHARLETON saw with regard to the non-existence of the lives in the lease to Mr. Wm. TATLOW before and since he went to gaol. John FITZSIMONS examined by Mr. MAJOR - Is bailiff to Mr. TALLOW, or rather to Mr. NESBITT, the landlord, over the lands of Aughalion ; remembers seeing Mr. Wm. CHARLETON in the house of defendant's father ' knew Mr. Samuel CHARLETON ; it was he got the original lease ; the tenants paid Bernard M'MANUS, the father of the defendant ; defendant was married to the daughter of said Wm. CHARLETON ; remembers seeing the latter in defendant's father's house at Cormeen, drinking punch, with his (witness's) uncle, and him say that the tenants on the lands would be well enough during his life-time, and thirty-one years after, as he was the landlord, and the last life in the lease ; defendant has been receiving the rents of the lands since the year 1819 ; knows it because he got married to said Wm. CHARLETON's daughter ; I got the property by her ; the conversation occurred in 1813 of 1814 ; heard that Wm. CHARLETON was dead ; he has not been in the country, however, since. Cross-examined by Mr. BROOKE - Knows the year was 1814, because it was the year before the battle of Waterloo ; is quite certain of that, and count not have made a mistake about the year, because the year he quit schooling (going to school) and has his copy-book yet with the date and year in it. To the Judge - Has not the copy-book here, but has it at home ; admits he cut his crop at night, but it was not to evade paying his rent to Mr. M'MANUS (laughter) ; holds his farm under defendant ; does not wish to assist Mr. TATLOW, his employer, in turning out the defendant ; as if he be turned out he thinks he will not get his cheaper, but that he will have to pay higher for it. Patrick FITZSIMONS examined by Mr. JOHNSTON - Is sixty-three years of age ; saw Mr. CHARLETON on the lands in the year 1814 ; is brother to the last witness, the bailiff of Mr. TATLOW or Mr. NESBITT ; recollects the year, because he heard his uncle and father, who were joint tenants on the lands, and were talking about the matter. The plaintiff's case having closed, Mr. BROOKE addressed the court on behalf of the defendant, in an able and argumentative speech, and terminated by calling upon the court to non-suit the plaintiff as he had failed to prove that the lease of the premises in question had terminated, and that the notice to quit was premature. With the permission of the court counsel was permitted to prove the service of the notice to quit, buy a witness of the name of Thomas KELLY. The defendant offered no evidence. His lordship refused to non-suit the plaintiff, but said, he would accept of exceptions and points saved, and then charged the jury at very considerable length, stating that the defendant could have very materially assisted in the elucidation of the very intricate case, by submitting himself for examination in the witness's box, but not having done so they, the jury, just deal with it in the best manner they could. The jury, after some time spent in deliberation, returned a verdict for the plaintiff, and on Mr. John TATLOW, his attorney, handing up twelve guineas (the special jury's fee, as he conceived that it (the case) could have been very well tried by a common jury ; and, on the following morning he stated, that having considered the points of law argued by counsel for plaintiff and defendant pro et con., he had decided that the verdict might be turned by the court above into a nonsuit or verdict for the defendant ; provided it should consider that the notice to quit, upon the fact proved, was premature. Counsel for plaintiff - Mr. James MAJOR, Q.C.; Mr. Robert JOHNSTON, Mr. John RICHARDSON ; attorney, Mr. John TATLOW. Counsel for defendant - Mr. John BROOKE, Q.C., and Mr. James LOWRY ; attorney, Mr. Samuel SWANZY. NON-ATTENDANCE OF JURORS. Many of the jurors who had been called and fined in the sum of £20 each for non-attendance in the record court on the day previous (Wednesday) 13th July), having applied to his Lordship (Chief Baron Pigort(sic)) to have the fines imposed upon them remitted; his lordship was pleased to order their prayer to be complied with, but stated that he would not remit the fines upon those who did not think proper to then attend and solicit that boon, whereupon Mr. M. W. REDDY stated to his lordship that Messrs. John MARADEN of Tullyvin, Thomas FAY, and John SHERA, of Cootehill, resided at such a distance from Cavan, they conceived there would be a sufficient number of jurors from that town and neighborhood as would save them the necessity of attending, and that one of them MR. Thomas FAY, was 60 years of age and upwards. His lordship in reply to Mr. REDDY said, that the proper place for Mr. FAY to apply was at the jurors special sessions, when on proving that fact he would be struck off the list ; however, on his (Mr. REDDY's) further solicitation on behalf of his friends, his lordship ordered that the fines upon them should be reduced from £20 (the fine originally imposed) to 20s. each, and subsequently directed Mr. SCOTT his register, to reduce the other fines to 20s.each also. WEDNESDAY ASSAULT AND BATTERY. Nulty v. Ellis. The Chief Baron took his seat on the bench this morning at ten o'clock, and proceeded to hear the case of Nulty v. Ellis, which occupied the entire day up to eight o'clock in the evening. Damages were laid at 200£. The following jury were sworn: -- Wm. M. BLACK,, foreman ; John ELLIOT, D. FINLAY, Wm. CLEMENGER, A. KILROY, F. M'CABE, John DAVIS, A. KETTYLE, James BERRY, Patt FAY, Peter BRADY, Edward KENNEDY, and J. A. FARIS, Esqrs. Mr. LOWRY opened the pleadings, and said it was an action for an assault and battery. Damages were laid at 200£, to which the defendant pleaded the general issue and justification. Mr. MAJOR, Q.C., stated the case at considerable length to the jury, after which John NULTY (the defendant) was sworn and examined by Mr. BROOKE, Q.C., and gave his testimony as follows: -- Is plaintiff in this record ; lives in Bridge-street, Cavan ; has a wife and one child ; recollects the 31st of October last ; was in the employment of the defendant as foreman baker at that time ; the 31st of October was on Sunday ; the defendant is a publican and butter buyer, and also deals in pigs ; was also in the employment of the defendant from the 8th of April, 1852, till the 31st of October last ; the 31st of October was Hallow-Eve ; was in the defendant's bakehouse on that morning about seven o'clock ; was accompanied by Phil FITZPATRICK, the defendant's apprentice, and set a sponge ; it is necessary for it to remain so for 12 hours ; returned about nine o'clock at night to put it in dough, for the purpose of putting it into the oven, where it should remain for two or three hours ; had put it into dough, which occupied about half an hour ; when we had finish! ed we heard a strange dog ion the yard ; I ran out of the bakehouse ; then the dogs engaged us ; there do be pots with potatoes in the yard ; I went out to hunt them with our dog ; FITZPATRICK followed me ; I had on my short trowsers and slippers at the time ; we pursued the dogs ; they ran through the garden hedge into the garden, and then into Mrs. BROGAN's yard ; FITZPATRICK did not come up to him at the time ; the old quick is between Mr. ELLIS's and Mr. BROGAN's yard ; was in the habit of passing through Mrs. BROGAN's house on Sunday, as the defendant had no half-door on his house ; she got her bread from the defendant, and she used to oblige Mr. ELLIS's family to go through ; when we were following the dogs we heard some persons laughing in Mrs. BROGAN's ; we went in and found a young man of the name of Patt DOWLING, Mrs. BROGAN and her niece ; Mr. DOWLING had a jug of punch in his hand ; he asked me to take some of it ; I said I took no punch ; he said I should take s! omething ; I accepted of a glass of cordial ; FITZPATRICK took half a glass of punch ; before I had finished the cordial ELLIS, the defendant, came into Mrs. BROGAN's kitchen where we were, he asked the key of the bake-house from FITZPATRICK; he gave it to him ; he did not seem in too great a passion ; he told Mrs. BROGAN he would have her broken of her licence for allowing his boys to go into her house ; it was then, to the best of my opinion, about half-past ten o'clock ; it could not be more ; after FITZPATRICK gave the key I told the defendant that he might not be uneasy as they could not do anything for too(sic) hours and a half ; is sure we could do nothing for three hours after the defendant came in ; ELLIS said ye must not come back to my place again ; he went away then ; FITZPATRICK and I consulted together and thought it better to go back and not to allow the batch of bread to be destroyed or he (defendant) might charge him with the full amount of the loss ; we wen! t out of Mrs. BROGAN's by the back door - same was as we came in ; I found defendant's back door open, and heard him up stairs ; I called to him for the key until I would finish the work that I began, and that I would go in the morning ; he ordered us to begone or he would shoot us ; he afterwards called to his wife and said - Eliza, hand me that pistol.

Examination resumed - I never had my head out of the window ; when I heard Mrs. ELLIS speak, I told NULTY to come away out of that ; I then left the premises and went a few perch away ; NULTY had his trowsers, shirt, cap, and a pair of slippers on at the time ; is sure he had nothing in his hand ; I then heard a bustle ; I was at this time at the garden gate ; I saw NULTY fall ; ELLIS struck him with a bar or iron or some other weapon ; cannot saw where NULTY was struck ; ELLIS turned round to me and said, you cowardly dog you will get the same ; I an away ; I knew I was not able for him ; I did not know but he had a pistol with him ; I closed the garden-gate he said I will have one life anyway ; I returned again and heard Mrs. ELLIS say, "Arthur, Arthur, what is this you have done;" she was in her own yard at the time. I ran and told Mrs. BROGAN that NULTY was murdered ; on my return I met NULTY coming into Mrs. BROGAN's yard ; the gate was open at the time ; the door open! s into the yard ; I did not see NULTY give any provocation to ELLIS whatever ; when NULTY came in he was bleeding from the head in a shocking state ; Mrs. BROGAN put meal and butter-milk to the wounds to try to stop the blood, but it had no effect ; I went to Dr. O'CONNOR with him; two soldiers of the 91st came up with us also ; the soldiers were out on pass ; one of them was a servant to the captain ; they are in Dublin at present ; I helped NULTY by the arm ; when we got as far Dr. O'CONNOR's we went into the back yard ; NULTY rested on the window-stool ; we rapped at his back and front door, but got no answer ; I think the reason the Doctor did not get up was it being Hallow-Eve night, every house in the town was knocked at, as it is customary to do so ; we threw sand up against all the windows ; after waiting for some time we returned to NULTY's house and put him into bed.

ANGLO CELT - July 21, 1853 - part three of three Cross-examined by Mr. B. JOHNSTON - I was nearly three years with the defendant ; during that time I was a diligent apprentice ; I never was summoned by him until the last occurrence ; he summoned me and I was fined by the magistrates ; the dogs made a great noise the night NULTY was assaulted ; I did not say NULTY and I were related to each other ; I did not say we were comrades ; I said we went out after the dogs ; we had our work done when we went out ; we went out to hunt the dogs certainly ; I put out the candles before I left the bake-house ; there were two candles burning in the back-house ; I only said I put out one candle ; there was a small bit of a candle left burning in an iron candlestick ; the door had a latch to it ; the key was always in the door when unlocked, so it was as easy to turn the key as to latch it ; we did not go out on the spree ; I am not bound to answer such questions ; I did not say the dogs brought me to Mrs. BROGAN's ; if the dogs were not t! here we would not have went to Mrs. BROGAN's ; ELLIS demanded the key and told us not to go back again to his place ; he also told Mrs. BROGAN he would have her licence broken for allowing us into her house ; NULTY told me he would go back to ELLIS for the key of the bake-house as he (defendant) would look after him for the loss of the batch ; I went with NULTY as far as the bake-house ; the kitchen door was open ; I cannot say how far the kitchen door is from the bake-house ; I do not know how long I remained at the bake-house door until NULTY came back ; ELLIS told him to begone or he would shoot the pair of blackguards ; it was not too dark at the time ; NULTY had no candle with him ; I saw light up stairs ; it must be a dark night that you will not see a man in his shirt ; heard ELLIS say - come on, you cowardly dog, and I will put this through you, holding out his left arm ; I do not know what he had in his hand ; I ran off from him ; he did not catch me ; I suppose if ! he did I would have fallen the same victim as NULTY ; I did not take that word out of a dictionary, and it is a very proper word when done (laughter). Theresa BROGAN examined by Mr. MAJOR, Q.C. - Lives next door to Mr. ELLIS, the defendant ; recollects last Hallow-Eve ; myself, Patt DOWLING, and my niece were in the house about ten o'clock ; I keep a public house ; saw Mr. ELLIS come in about that hour ; John NULTY and Phil FITZPATRICK were there at the time ; they were not more than ten minutes in when Mr. ELLIS made his appearance ; Patt DOWLING had a jug of punch in his hand ; Mr. ELLIS demanded the key of his bake house, and told me he would have my licence broken ; he got the key ; NULTY said he would do him no harm, that he would finish the work he had in hand ; he told them not to go about to his place again ; he (Mr. ELLIS) then left the house ; Mr. ELLIS, his servant, and children often came through the hedge which separates the gardens ; they often came into and went through my house ; NULTY and Phil FITZPATRICK left the house immediately after Mr. ELLIS ; in a short time after NULTY was brought in covered with b! lood ; before NULTY came in I heard FITZPATRICK cry out in the yard :NULTY is murdered: it was about an hour from the time they left until they returned and NULTY was covered with blood ; thinks that it was only about a quarter of an hour from they left my house until I heard FITZPATRICK cry out that NULTY was murdered, and in a few minutes he was brought in backwards ; DOWLING was not there then ; there was no person in the house but myself and my niece ; NULTY was bleeding from the head ; my niece washed the blood off him and tried to stop the bleeding ; he only remained in my house for about ten minutes ; he was then brought to his own house, and afterwards to Dr. O'CONNOR's ; never knew NULTY to be in her house at night before ; that night he came in accidentally ; he was in the habit of going through my house on Sundays because Mr. ELLIS has no hall-door on his house. Cross-examined by Mr. JOHNSTON - Mr. ELLIS complained before for me allowing his bakers into my house. Thomas O'CONNOR, Esq., examined by Mr. BROOKE, Q.C. - Is an apothecary ; I keep an apothecary's shop in this town ; it is in the Main-street ; recollects last Hallow-Eve night ; heard great knocking at my doors, but, as it is a practice of the young folk to rap at the doors on Hallow-Eve night, I did not take notice of them ; I did not get up ; saw John NULTY about eight o'clock the following morning ; his head was folded in cloths ; the cloths were saturated with blood ; having removed the cloths and examined his head I found two wounds on it ; they appeared to be rather serious, so much so that I deemed it judicious to recommend him to go into the infirmary ; I also found a wound on his arm, but, it being a case fit for the infirmary, I did not examine him closely. George ROE, Esq., M.D., examined by Mr. LOWRY - Is a surgeon and licentiate of the Royal College of Surgeons, Dublin ; recollects to see John NULTY on the evening of the first of November last in the infirmary ; is surgeon of that institution ; did not examine him until next morning ; he had wounds on the left temple ; he also complained of the left ear ; the ear was much swollen at the time that I examined it ; the injuries on the arm did not appear to be of much consequence ; I paid all attention to the head, the shoulder was not much injured ; the head was the most serious ; I do not think the brain was injured at all ; the external parts were very much bruised ; the temple artery must have been opened, as his clothes were completely saturated with blood ; the left arm was also injured ; poker would inflict the wound, but I think it must have been a pointed instrument, as it seemed to be a contused, not an incised wound ; at first I did not consider his life in danger, as! I did not think there was so much injury done, but on the third day erysipelas set in ;the whole scalp and face were affected ; it was that time the accident took place in Dublin, (The accident which the doctor refers to is that of the butcher's boy in Dublin who lost his life by the blow of a whip from Dr. BANKS). I was most uneasy about him ; at that time I considered his life in danger ; I can have no doubt but the erysipelas came from the effects of the wounds on the head ; the plaintiff remained for three weeks and four days in the infirmary, at the expiration of the three weeks and four days he wished to go out ; I was glad he wished to do so, as he would have the benefit of the air outside ; it was altogether with my consent he went out ; I think he was attending the infirmary as an external patient for upwards of two months ; during this time his system was altogether deranged ; I told him not to attempt to work, as his system would not bear it ; I made no communic! ation to a magistrate, but on one of my visits to the infirmary I saw Mr. VERNON there ; I saw the defendant on the 16th of May ; I then found him labouring under paralysis in the cheek, which continues up to this ; the injury to the arm and cheek will be some time before removed ; where a nerve is injured, it causes stinging pain for some time ; I would say, he (NULTY) is not fit to do any work yet. To the Court - Kneading of dough would be of much injury to him. The Dr. was not cross-examined. Patt DOWLING examined by Mr. MAJOR, Q.C. - Recollects last Hallow-Eve night ; remembers to see NULTY (the defendant) and FITZPATRICK on that night ; they came into Mrs. BROGAN's where I was ; they were not more than ten minutes in when Mr. ELLIS (the defendant) came in ; he demanded the key of his bake-house from FITZPATRICK ; he got the key and told them not to go back again to his place ; NULTY took a glass of cordial, and FITZPATRICK took a dandy of punch from me ; they went out in a few minutes after Mr. ELLIS left ; I left the place then and saw no more. Court - What do you mean by a dandy of punch? Is a dandy of punch a tumbler: Witness - No, my lord, it is a 'young one ; it is but half a tumbler (laughter). Rose REILLY examined by Mr. BROOKE, Q.C. - Was a servant to Mr. ELLIS,; heard NULTY ask the defendant for the key of the bakehouse ; I did not hear what reply the defendant gave him ; NULTY asked him again for the key ; the defendant told him to begone out of that or he would shoot the pair of blackguards ; I heard Mrs. ELLIS desire NULTY to go away ; if the batch of bread was lost she did not care about it ; I do not know where Mr. ELLIS was at the time ; I was standing on the second flight at the time ; I often opened the lobby window myself ; I found the poker with blood on it the next morning when I was going to put a fire in the grate ;it was in the bedroom the poker was. Cross-examined by Mr. JOHNSTONE - I was living with the defendant on the 30th of October last ; never was at the sessions ; is quite sure the blood was on the poker ; found it in the fire-place next morning ; I lived with Mr. ELLIS better than a quarter of a year ; did not leave the place at night, it was in the evening I left ; the reason I left was to better myself ; I gave no notice when I was going ; I was only three days in the second quarter when I left. Mr. MAJOR said that the case for the plaintiff closed. Mr. JOHNSTON then rose and made an eloquent and powerful address for the defence, which lasted for about an hour, he then called upon Mr. ELLIS, the defendant, who gave his testimony as follows: -- I am the defendant in this record ; recollects the 31st of October last ; knows the plaintiff, John NULTY ; he was in my employment at the time as foreman baker ; I keep a shop in this town ; Phil FITZPATRICK was my apprentice ; he was not quite three years with me ; NULTY served his time to me as a baker also ; I remember Hallow-Eve night last ; I was looking out of my window that night ; I saw NULTY standing at the bakehouse door ; after some time FITZPATRICK came to the door also ; FITZPATRICK got a soap box and went to fill some turf ; NULTY held the candle for him ; after that NULTY took a small looking-glass, and wiped it with his apron ; I went back to my room and put out the candle ; I came back to the lobby window ; I saw NULTY then standing outside the bakehouse door ; FITZPATRICK came out after him and locked the door ; both of them turned the angle of the turf-house ; I then went back to my room and ! lit the candle ; I took off my boots and came down stairs and went into the turf-house ; neither of them were in the turf-house ; I then went through the garden, into Mr. BROGAN's yard ; I looked and saw a light inside ; I stood at the door, and heard them talk about a house that I was about taking from Captain ERSKINE ; some of them said I would not get it ; I then went in and found NULTY, FITZPATRICK, and some other persons inside ; I demanded the key of the bakehouse from FITZPATRICK ; he gave it to me ; I told them I should get proper men to mind my work ; I also told Mrs. BROGAN I would have her license broke, as she had me robbed by keeping a night-house ; it was about eleven o'clock at this time ; I left the house then, and went into my own house and bolted the back-door ; I went up stairs and took off my dirty stockings, and went to dry my feet ; I then heard a rap at the back-door ; my wife went to the lobby window ; I heard NULTY ask the key ; I told him to be off ! about his business ; at this time I was determined to go to Mr. KELLY's to get a baker to finish the batch ; NULTY still continued giving me annoyance ; I told him if he would not leave the place I would blow his brains out ; FITZPATRICK was prompting him outside, NULTY dared me to come down, and told me if I did I would not be in a hurry back ; I could hear the apprentice directing NULTY what to say ; my wife told me to be quiet, and that they would soon go away ; after a short time I looked out on the lobby window and count not see them ; I believed they were gone off ; the window ; does not rise it open with laths ; I remember about half an hour before I went out I put on a clean pair of stockings, and went down stairs for a large pair of boots that I have for traveling in ; I also went into the shop ; it was new boots I had on during the day ; I then went up stairs and regulated some accounts that I had with a man named WOODWORTH ; I then came down stairs, and went out t! o the bakehouse ; I brought the tongs out of the fire-place with me ; on my oat I did not bring the poker ; I am quite sure it was the tongs I had in my hand ; I also brought the key of the bakehouse ; I had the tongs in my left hand and the key in my right ; when I was in the act of putting the key into the door ; I heard a foot coming towards me ; I then got a kick which knocked me down ; my cheek came against the wall ; the tongs fell out of my hand ; my shin was cut with the kick ; Dr. COYNE was attending me for three weeks after ; I got another blow that knocked me against the angle of the door ; I got up again ; I did not see NULTY until then ; I then caught hold of him and knocked him down ; NULTY shouted, "Phil, you cowardly rascal, where are you;" I was then struck with a stone in the chest, and fell at the gable of the storehouse ; it was either a stone or brick that I was struck with ; I found the effects of it for some days afterwards ; the stone came from the ba! ck of the bakehouse ; I saw FITZPATRICK run away ; I saw him with the light of the candle that was in the bake-house ; as I was getting up I found the tongs, and as NULTY was coming up to me I struck him ; I think it was about the head he received the blow ; he then made at me again ; I told him if he would come again I would hurt him ; the then made at poles that were in the water barrel ; I then struck him on the arm ; he rushed at me again and I then struck him, I think, on the temple ; my wife came between us ; she told him to go about his business ; he thought to get at me again ; after that he walked away ; I went into my own house, and when I saw the manner in which I was cut and abused I went to the police barrack ; the police were all out on duty except one man that was in care of the barrack ; I never struck a blow until I was knocked down ; NULTY was always a quiet, well-disposed man up to this ; FITZPATRICK was not so, as I had to reprove him often for being dru! nk ; I never said Eliza, where is my pistols: never remembers to fire a shot but one or two in my life ; I have one pistol, but it is not in order ; it was only to frighten them I said I would shoot them ; a person standing at the turf-house could not see what would be going on at the bake-house door, as there is more than four feet of an angle ; you must go through the turf-house to the garden ; I did not hear a dog bark in the yard the whole night ; my dog is only a pup ; I was looking at both of them leave the bake-house ; I was looking out of the lobby window ; Rose REILLY was a servant in my place ; she left before her quarter was up. Mr. MAJOR, Q.C., cross-examined Mr. ELLIS, but his evidence was not shaken. B. COYNE, Esq., M.D., examined by Mr. JOHNSTON - Is a surgeon and medical practitioner in this town ; knows Mr. ELLIS, the defendant ; I remember to be called upon to go see him on the 1st of November last ; he was in bed at the time I saw him ; I found a severe, lacerated, contused wound on his leg ; the contusion on the face looked like a scrape against a wall ; it did not require much attention ; I do not remember to hear the defendant complain about the blow of a stone in the chest ; I attended him from the 1st of November to the 20th of same month ; he was almost the entire time confined to his bed ; is acquainted with Mr. ELLIS' character. Court - It is not necessary to refer to his character, as a man coming into this court with an action may be an angel or a demon ; it is all the same. Cross-examined by Mr. BROOKE, Q.C. - The defendant might have received the injuries from a metal pot, but does not think it was, as the wound had a tendency upwards ; it was lacerated also. Court - Would the ear of a pot cause the wound? Dr. COYNE - I think not ; the wound was inclined upwards ; the corner of a wall might cause it. Mr. JOHNSTON produced a map that his client got drawn that the court and jury might see the situation of the premises, and produced Mr. Robert BANNISTER (the gentleman who drew the map) to prove the accuracy of it. Robert BANNISTER examined by Mr. JOHNSTON - Is a surveyor ; made a survey of Mr. ELLIS' premises ; I observed the bakehouse door ; the door is angle ways ; it is not a right angle ; it is obtuse. Mr. JOHNSTON said this closed the case for the defence. Mr. BROOKE, in his usual eloquent style, addressed the jury for the plaintiff, after which the Chief Baron called up Mrs. BROGAN and Mr. DOOLAN to know if they could say what sort of shoes the plaintiff had on the night the assault was committed ; both of the witnesses said they could not tell as they did not take notice. The Chief Baron addressed the jury, which occupied upwards of an hour. In the course of his address he told the jury if they believed that NULTY gave the first blow they would find a verdict for the defendant ; if otherwise, they would find for the plaintiff. The jury then retired to their room to consider their verdict. It being a quarter past eight o'clock, his lordship ordered the court to be adjourned until nine o'clock next morning. His Lordship remained for a short time in court afterwards, and before he left informed the jury that if they would agree any time before eleven o'clock he would come down from his lodgings to take their verdict, at the same time ordered two bailiffs to be sworn and placed at the jury door. The Jury, at half-past ten o'clock, ordered the judge to be sent for, when, on his arrival, the foreman handed in the following verdict in favour of the plaintiff, --- £20 damages, and 6d. costs. The Guardians of the Cavan Union v. John KELLY, Bernard FITZPATRICK, and Owen DRUM. The following gentlemen were sworn on the jury to try this case (no P.L. G. being allowed on the Jury): -- William MOORE, Foreman ; J. BEATTY, F. M'CABE, John DAVIS, John ELLIOTT, W. CLEMENGER, A. KETTYLE, D. FINLAY , Wm. NORTON, Edward KENNEDY, Patrick FAY, and Wm. HAGUE, jun. Mr. LOWRY stated that the present proceedings were against John KELLY, a defaulting collector of poor-rates, and his securities - against KELLY as principal. He stated that previous to the guardians appointing KELLY a rate-collector, there was a rate levied by the guardians on the electoral divisions of Kildallan and Ballyconnell, amounting to 1,542£, 16s. 3 1/2d. This cess was levied on the 15th January, 1850. A person named John FITZPATRICK was appointed collector by the guardians, with whom he entered into an agreement for the collection of the rates, B. FITZPATRICK and O. DRUM were his securities. J. F. however made default, and left the country, leaving 181£ 15s. 3d. uncollected. His securities, FITZPATRICK and DRUM, applied to the guardians to allow John KELLY (the present collector) to collect that sum. The guardians acceded to that application and appointed KELLY collector, with them as securities. KELLY, the present collector, only collected the sum of 8£. 3s! . 4d. The guardians, on inquiry, find that 10£. 13s. 7 ¼ (or ¾?)d. is an unrecoverable arrear, and do not proceed for that sum. B. FITZPATRICK paid 8£. 18s. 8d., being a moiety of the sum uncollected by KELLY. He paid on January 13th, 1852, 50£., and on the 13th December following, 30£. 18s. 8d. This action was filed since that payment, which bears (deducting 3£. 10s. 3d. collected, but not returned) 81£. 17s. 8 1/2d. due to the guardians - solvent arrears. This is the amount which is sought to be recovered from DRUM, who has not paid any of the above sums, and which, on expressed conditions, was to be collected within three calendar months from the delivery of the rate-books. Mr. LOWRY then proceeded to prove the contract between the guardians, and the defendants. Mr. Blayney GRIER, Clerk of the Union - There was a rate made on the Union on the 15th January, 1850. The amount on the Kildallan and Ballyconnell division is 1,562£, 16s. 3 1/4d. - the levies were signed by Capt. PHILLIPS, Thomas ARDUE, and Thomas CLARKE, three of the guardians. John FITZPATRICK was originally appointed collector of that rate ; has the bonds appointing J. F. Collector - Owen DRUM and Bernard FITZPATRICK were his securities. He collected the entire of that rate, except 181£. 15s. 3 ½ d. He went to America ; subsequently John KELLY was appointed to collect the remainder ; I have the minute of the 29th July, 1831 (1851?), ordering his appointment. William SMITH moved, and Bernard GAFFNEY seconded - "that the clerk be directed to fill up a bond and to have it executed accordingly." The minute was signed by the chairman of the next subsequent meeting of the guardians ; has the warrant which was delivered to KELLY ; it is signed by R. BURROWES, Chairman, T! heo. THOMPSON, and James CAFFREY, three of the guardians ; delivered to him (KELLY) on the 13th of August, 1851(?) ; cannot saw exactly the date he gave it back ; KELLY lodged 8£. 3s. 4d. of that rate to the credit of the union according to the treasurer's book ; the treasurer is manager of the Provincial Bank in this town (Mr. GRIER is unable to prove the solvency of the divisions.) Chief BARON - I must have some evidence of the solvency of the divisions. Mr. LOWRY thought his lordship had prima facie evidence that they (the rate-payers) were solvent, and that it was for them to prove that they are not. The Chief Baron must have some slight evidence of the solvency of the divisions. Here a difficulty arose as to who should prove the solvency of the divisions - Mr. GRIER is unable ; all seem unwilling ; at length Edward FINLAY (porter to the workhouse) proved that, generally speaking, the rate-payers are solvent, and able to pay. Mr. James ARMSTRONG, solicitor to the guardians, proved that he entered judgment on the bond entered into by Kelly and his securities with the guardians ; that he has an attested copy of it, but had it not then in court. The Court directed the jury to find a verdict for the sum of 81£. 17s. 8 1/2d. County Cavan Newspaper Transcription Project
