ANGLO-CELT OCTOBER 19, 1854 COOTEHILL OCTOBER QUARTER SESSIONS These Sessions commenced on Tuesday last before P. M. MURPHY, Esq., Q.C., Assistant Barrister for this county, Col. Henry T. CLEMENTS, J.P., Ashfield Lodge, Edward M'INTOSH, Esq., J.P., Cootehill, Theophilus CLEMENTS, Esq. J.P., Rakenny, Samuel H. MOOREHEAD, J.P., Fort William, and John VEEVERS, Esq., R.M., Bailieboro'. Immediately after the sitting of the Court the Clerk of the Peace proceeded to call the Grand Jury, but only ten answered when called, in consequence of which they were by direction of the court, called under penalties of £6, and a great number fined in that sum; however, on petitions and affidavits accounting for their absence, having been presented to the Assistant Barrister on the day following (Wednesday), several of the fines were remitted. After the list had been subsequently gone over and the jurors called upon the fines, the following persons were empanelled and sworn upon. THE GRAND JURY Patrick HORN, (foreman), John F. ELLIOTT, John BERRY, William MAXWELL, John CAMPBELL, Samuel FISHER, John SHERA, Joseph ADAMS, Edward COONEY, John DAVIS, John JOHNSTON. William MAHOOD, Edward MAHOOD, Charles M'COMB, and Edward SHARP, Esqrs. His Worship briefly addressed them first stating his regret as the thin attendance of Grand Jurors at Quarter Session for some time past; he would therefore impose fines on all non-attending Jurors, to enforce more punctual attendance in future. He then concluded by congratulating them upon the lightness of the calendar, which was he believed the very lightest ever known in that division, which was an evidence of the peaceable state of that district of the county THE SPIRIT LICENCES The application of which there were fourteen served upon the Clerk of the Peace for license to sell spirits by retail within the Cootehill Quarter Session, division of the county, only eight of the applicants attended, to whom certificates were awarded. On the application of Hugh WARD, of Muff, one of them, Mr. VEEVERS objected to a licence being granted to any person for that place, as it was a locality disgraced by scenes of the greatest debauchery, and at the last annual fair, held there on the 12th August, he observed amongst others, a professional gentleman in a disgraceful state of intoxication. Assistant Barrister--I hope that gentleman did not belong to the legal profession (laughter). MR. VEEVERS--No--he belongs to the medical profession. Barrister--I am quite delighted to learn that you did not allude to any of the legal gentlemen, attending the Quarter Sessions Courts of the county (laughter). After some further objections by Mr. VEEVERS, the licence was awarded to Hugh WARD on account of his good character, Mr. VEEVERS admitting that there were no less than sixteen sheeben houses on the neighbourhood, but he added that he would wish the assistance of the constabulary suppress them in a short time. The following is a synopsis of the business to be transacted at these sessions, which on account of their lightness are expected to terminate on to-morrow--92 civil bill processes, 6 ejectments, 14 spirit applications, (8 granted,) and 8 crown numbers. John ROSS, a young boy, pleaded guilty to an Indictment, which charged him with having stolen wearing apparel, the goods of David HALL, of Copenagh, out of his house at that place, on the 12th September last. In consequence of his youth, and that he had never been previously convicted, he was sentenced to only two months imprisonment at hard labour. Mary HART also pleaded guilty to an indictment, upon which she was arraigned, charging her with having at Cortubber, on the 11th August last, stolen a silver watch, and wearing apparel, the goods of George PEATT. She was sentenced to be imprisoned for 6 months at hard labour. CAUTION TO PETTY SESSIONS CLERKS On the prosecutor, George PEATT, making application for an order of court for his expenses, in enumerating and making up which, he stated as one item of them, that he was obliged to pay the Cootehill Petty Sessions Clerk 3s. for informations, and warrant of committal, the Assistant Barrister ordered the Petty Sessions Clerk to appear before him, and enquired from him under what authority he made such a charge. To which the Petty Sessions Clerk replied that he made the charge under the 14th and 15th Vic., cap. 93. His Worship having procured the act, read from the 3rd section of same, the following items of remuneration to Petty Sessions Clerk. "For drawing each information, deposition, or solemn declaration, 1s. 0d." Petty Sessions Clerk--Yes, your worship, but there was more than one information in this case. Barrister--Well, further on the act says: "But the clerk shall not be entitled to receive a greater amount of fees for any set of informations, or for any set of summonses, or for any set of other documents of the same kind, in the same case than 2s. in the whole for each set, unless the justices shall specially authorize a greater amount, but not in case exceeding the above fees." Barrister--I therefore caution, not only you, but all the other Petty Sessions Clerks in the county, not to attempt to exact any greater fees than those authorized by this act, as in every case in which they do so offend, I will order a public prosecution to be instituted against them. POCKET PICKING Eleanor GARVEY, and Bridge MARRON were found guilty of having picked 3s. 6d. out of the pocket of Michael KELLY, an itinerant vender of books, in Bailieborough, on the night of the 15th September last. In consequence of their previous bad character, they being nymphs of the pave, they were sentenced to be imprisoned in Cavan gaol, and kept to hard labour for 1 month each James HANIGAN, an old man who drives cattle for jobbers for hire, was indicted for having sold a bullock, the property of Rose M'KEONE, in the fair of Ballybay, on the 16th September last, for £3 17s. 6d., which he converted to his own use. In consequence of the good character which it was sworn the prisoner possessed--he alleging that he either lost or was robbed of the money in the fair, the jury acquitted him. Both the prisoner and prosecutrix reside in Cootehill. This case terminated the crown business. ______________________________________________________________ County Cavan Newspaper Transcription Project

ANGLO-CELT OCTOBER 19, 1854 CAVAN QUARTER SESSIONS (Continued from last week) Michael M' CARRET was charged with stealing £15 4s. from the person of Christopher RORKE, in Cavan, on 14th August last. Christopher RORKE examined by Mr. Benjamin ARMSTRONG--Found prisoner with his hand in his (witnesses's) pocket, to which he had fifteen pounds rolled up in notes, silver, and gold. He was standing in Mr. M'GAURAN's shop at the time; seized prisoner's hand on the moment, and held it until he gave him up to the police. The money was gone. It was there three minutes before he caught the prisoner's hand. Though the hand was held, still prisoner got it out of the pocket, and could easily have given it to some one of four or five others who were round him, and had their arms about him. Cross-examined by Mr. KNIPE--Came to the fair to sell cattle. Drank none before he sold the cattle, but drank one or two half glasses after- wards. Caught no other person but the prisoner, nor did he accuse any one else. Guilty. There being no proof of any previous conviction here, the prisoner was sentenced to twelve months imprisonment at hard labour from his committal. POTATO STEALING John DEMPSEY, for stealing potatoes from the garden of Henry HAUGHTON. Guilty. Four years' penal servitude. ONLY A SUSPICION Patrick M'CABE was charged for stealing seventeen pounds from the person of William MORROW, in Armagh, on 1st May last. The prosecutor proved to his having the money in Mr. COSTELLOE's in Arvagh, and that the prisoner threw his arms round him, and, after, he got him off, he missed the money. James MORROW, sister to last witness, proved to seeing a person like witness outside COSTELLOE's door. Court--There is nothing but suspicion against him. Acquitted. ___________________________ EJECTMENTS James DEGNAN v. Bernard SHERIDAN An action for recovery of two acres of the lands of Drumrockady, belonging to the plaintiff, as assignee of one John CAHILL, on termination of a demise for six years made to the defendant. Mr. TULLY stated the case--CAHILL assigned to his client part of the lands of Drumrockady, including the two acres in question, which he said were leased to defendant for six years. When that term expired, ejectment was brought for recovery, but a lease purporting to be for three lives was produced, and a dismiss obtained. After the trial in this court, some men who were drinking with defendant took the lease from him and it was sought for this to blacken DEGNAN's character, as if for his own purposes he had the man robbed of his lease. That lease came into the hands of the parish priest or curate, and from them into possession of Mr. M'CLINTOCK, Sub Inspector, in whose hands it now was; he, Mr. TULLY, was prepared to show of it that it was a fabrication, a forgery, and could be no bar to the plaintiff's title. Mr. SWANZY, who was on the same side with Mr. TULLY, produced the assignment, and then put the defendant on his title--the alleged lease for three lives. G. F. H. M'CLINTON examined by Mr. KNIPE--Knew Jas. SMYTH; saw him write; he went to America, and witness heard that he was dead, (the lease handed to him); believe that the name 'James SMYTH' signed to the lease, as a witness, as in SMYTH's handwriting. Cross-examined by Mr. SWANZEY--Can write himself; SMYTH told him that he was going to make a settlement between CAHILL and the SHERIDANs, and afterwards that he had settled all; he told him that he had filed the lease; this was in the end of 47 (the lease purported to have been executed 17th April, 1845). Bernard SHERIDAN examined--Got a lease from CAHILL, which James SMYTH witnessed for; knows not who drew it; it was done before he saw it; paid £15 for what was therein leased to him. Cross-examined by Mr. M'GAURAN--It is ten years since the first agreement between witness and CAHILL was entered into; that was for a six years leave; that agreement was not signed, there being some difference between the parties. To the Court--All the parties signed the lease at the same time in the same house; knows not whether all wrote with the same ink or with the same pen; (witness's name was not written in the same ink which the other parties used). Cross-examination resumed--Never said that the lease was brought to him to be signed when he was sick in bed; knows Patrick FLOOD; he is a middling decent man; never said to him that he had a lease for six years only; remembers when the lands in question were about to be sold by auction; does not remember Mr. GIBNEY the auctioneer stating, that he, witness, had a lease of part of the lands for six years. Examination resumed--The lease was taken out of the house this time twelve months by night; gave information to the police and magistrate; did not see it for twelve months; then saw it with MR. M'CLINTOCK in Arva; a rap came to the door on the night it was stolen, and, on question being put, who was there, a voice replied, one with a note from Dr. O'REILLY of Ballinagh; the door was opened, and some persons came in and ransacked his chest, and presenting a pistol at witness, told him he had only a few moments to live; 'short enough said I'; 'you are a stout fellow, and I must treat you,' was the reply; a bottle whiskey was brought in, but witness would drink none of it. Cross-examination resumed--The priest got the lease and sent word to witness to come for it, but he would not; the priest was afterwards detained in Arva Court until the lease was forthcoming, and witness knows not that he told the magistrate how the priest had sent for him. Patrick FLOOD examined by Mr. TULLY--Often had conversation with SHERIDAN, as to these lands...... Laurence CLINTON examined by Mr. KNIPE--Remembers a meeting in his house in Ballinagh about a lease.... Plaintiff examined--Proved that John CAHILL died in 46, and James CAHILL went to America in 1847; the hand writings to the lease are not those of John and James CAHILL (produces); admitted hand-writing of those parties in proof. This worship declared his conviction, that the deed was a forgery. MR. KNIPE still insisted on a dismiss, as no evidence of a lease for six years to and at a certain time, had been given, and it was, as if such a lease had determined, that the ejectment was brought. Mr. SWANZY insisted that there was such evidence in the testimony of FLOOD, and in the fact that at a public auction the existence of such a lease was mentioned, and was not contradicted by the defendant who was present. The Court ruled with Mr. SWANZY, and granted a decree to possession. _____________________________ CIVIL BILLS NESBITT v. SEWELL An action for breach of warranty in a horse, sold to plaintiff. J. A. NESBITT, Esq., proved that, wanting a horse, the defendant came to him and offered one; witness asked was he all right; defendant replied, I never knew anything wrong with him; witness then said, on your recom- mendation I will take him as he is, and give you a pound more than I think he is value for. I will give 16l.; this was all; witness knew not whether this was a warranty, but he did not much regard it, as he wanted not money, but to expose chicanery under the garb of religion; defendant being a sanctimonious one and a Methodist Preacher (roars of laughter). Defendant examined--He did not pronounce the horse all right, as he believes. Mr. NESBITT took him as he was, being informed that he would draw, would take with the whip, and was of a forgiving temper. Mr. NESBITT--Did you not say to my servant, when I sent to inform you of the lameness, that you sold the horse, and got the money which was all you wanted? Witness--Could not say. ______GREGG examined--Was at the sale; the horse trotted, and he went along well enough for a heavy horse; thinks he was sound; Mr. NESBITT took him as he was; Mr. NESBITT's confidential man (ARMSTRONG) told witness since that Mr. NESBITT had no just complaint against defendant, as he took the horse as he was. Mr. KNIPE--Did you not say that SEWELL was a rascal for not taking the horse back? Witness No. Mr. COCHRANE--Is it to call his reverence a rascal? The Court ruled that there was no engagement and the case was dismissed. BEATTY v. HILL Mr. James ARMSTRONG opened the case--it was an action for 15l. for defendant, having taken possession of a bog, plaintiff's property, and prevented him from cutting turf thereon; defendant (agent to Captain ROEBUCK) himself got the bog for plaintiff in 1850, and he possessed it from that time up to this year. Mr. M'GAURAN, on the part of the defendant, pleaded right to the turf and bog, and that BEATTY's right was a mere permissive one, resulting from the kindness of Mr. HILL to his bailiff.... Martin BEATTY sworn--In April 1850, the landlord had a farm on hands, on which was some bog, plaintiff wrote to the landlord to get that bog; told Mr. HILL; he said, . 'I hope you will get it'. When Mr. HILL came from Dublin, he told witness he had got it, and they were to arrange the terms; plaintiff said he would give what was reasonable, 4l. an acre; Mr. HILL afterwards took that farm himself from the landlord, and said he would give to bog to witness (as long as he held the farm) for managing it for him. To the Court--Never paid rent. Cross-examined by Mr. M'GAURAN--Mr. HILL was agent there for some time; witness was steward for Mr. HILL--a faithful steward.... Mr. John ARMSTRONG put in evidence letter of Mr. HILL to Captain ROEBUCK in May 1850, stating that BEATTY was to give 4l.; an acre for the bog. Charles HILL, Esq., sworn--When the farm became vacant, by the ejection of the tenant, Captain ROEBUCK thought of keeping it in his own hands; witness took it afterwards as an amusement for himself; he let BEATTY cut turf on it, until he came to know him and found him dishonest The court ruled, that there was no possession by BEATTY, but a mere permission to cut turf, through the courtesy of Mr. HILL. He was merely as the servant of that gentleman, and it would be monstrous to construe such kindness into a possession. The case was dismissed. CONOLLY a. David FINLAY An action for 1l. due for car hire in bringing in voters for Captain MAXWELL at the election if 1852. Plaintiff examined by Mr. KNIPE--Was employed by Mr. FINLAY to drive in voters to Cavan in Mr. MAXWELL's interest; got a note also from Mr. FINLAY advising him not to drive himself, as he was a voter, and the bribery oath might come against him if he received any money for car hire. All the men he brought plumped for MAXWELL, and above all others, he was careful to exclude any friend of Mr. ELLIS from a seat on his car; surely did not for ELLIS himself. Mr. FINLAY sworn--He never engaged CONNOLLY to drive in any voter; was no agent for Mr. MAXWELL that he could employ persons to carry his voters. Wrote to CONNOLLY about the bribery oath, but that was as the friend, not the agent of Captain MAXWELL. The Court ruled, that there was no liability as far as Mr. FINLAY was concerned and CONNOLLY's claim was therefore dismissed. DONOHOE a. REILLY An action for assault. Mary DONOHOE, plaintiff examined--Was beat, abused, and trampled upon by defendant on 20th July last, when she went to vindicate the character of her child, whom he had insulted; her legs were bruised, her bones dislocated, &c. Cross-examined by Mr. John ARMSTRONG--Has a good tongue enough; did not curse defendant on the occasion in question, but rather poured benedictions on him; never said that she would kill him by cursing, as she had killed his cow and his wife by the same means. Defendant examined--On the occasion in question, plaintiff gave him at once her own seven curses, and those of her five children; said she would kill him with curses, and read the 109th psalm backwards against him. Plaintiff--I did not, your worship. If I could kill by cursing it is not his cow I would kill. Defendant's examination continued--Plaintiff brought him before the magistrates, and had him fined there in one pound. To the Court--Cannot say whether he kicked plaintiff when he had knocked her down; thinks he gave her a little one, when she was leaving the door; does not know whether he tore her cap or gown. Mr. ARMSTRONG insisted that in going to an inferior tribunal--the magistrates--she was barred all access to the superior one here. The court ruled that, it was only as to a criminal tribunal she had applied to the Petty Sessions. Now she applied to a civil tribunal, and he would give her a decree for one pound. KERNAN v PRITCHELL An action for breach of warranty in a cow sold to plaintiff. James KERNAN, plaintiff's son examined--Proved the sale and warranty by defendant, servant to Mr. SMITH, J.P. Defendant denied the warranty. Mr. SMITH's usual course was never to give an engagement. Wm. SMITH, Esq., J.P., examined--Some of his cows were distempered last year, none this year. This cow, when she went to be sold was, as far as he knew, a most sound one. Witness sold at last Christmas eve a cow at a price little above that of the akin to M'GUINNELL a butcher in Ballynagh; she had died; does not know that the butcher intended to sell the carcass for Christmas beef. Court--Is it possible that you, a magistrate, knowing your duty, would sell anything that might have been distributed amongst the people, so as to case all kind of distempers to arise amongst them. Witness--Does not think that distempered beef would breed disease amongst the people. Besides that cow was not, he thought, distempered. The Court knew nothing more calculated to cause disorders than unsound food. Thomas DONOHOE proved to the engagement by PRITCHELL. A jury consisting of Messrs. Thomas REILLY, Edw, PLUNKET, and James BROWN, was sworn to try the case. John MAHON--Is a butcher; saw the cow after about six days and knew by her that she had the distemper; opened her after she died and her lights were most diseased. The calf she had was a sickly one, too, and had to be killed. Cross-examined--Few cows distempered to live a month. Mr. SMITH re-examined--Sold three cows about a month ago to GUINELL the Butcher, one for 10s., one for 25s., and one for 30s. Two of them were incurably bad, of murrain, he is sure, and the other was pining from the time he got her. Decree for nine pounds. James MORRIS v. John William HENRY An action for the labour in watching cattle, belonging to one Mr. KNIGT, which were left to an open field in consequence of defendant, as an engineer on the Midland Great Western Railway, having thrown down the fence. Court--Who employed the plaintiff, Mr. ARMSTRONG? Mr. ARMSTRONG--Mr. HENRY did not, your worship. Court--Then let him look to him who did. The case was dismissed. ____________________________________________________________ County Cavan Newspaper Transcription Project

Hi Allen Well my problem is that he was most likely NOT from Devon. The name is almost non existant in the county. However in 1791 Thomas a nd Charlotta BRACEY chr James at Stoke Damerel (ie Devonport Plymouth). This is from the IGI but the PR's have been checked as well. James died shortly after (can't remember exactly when). In 1795 Thomas and Charlotta BRACEY chr Diana at Portsmouth Hants , also from IGI ,record not yet checked. I am assuming this is the same couple given it's also a sea port and that Thomas was a sailor or Dockyard worker. In 1815 Diana BRACEY m William PEARSON (carpenter and seaman) "with the consent of John Gear (the chrchwardene) at Alverstoke Hants. In 1818 aCharlotte BRACEY was buried from the poor house in Portsmouth. The only other Bracey records in Hants are for a Margaret who married at Alverstoke in 1817 (??Diana's sister) and the birth of a child to Thomas Bracey and Sarah at Portsmouth in 1824. So a very elusive family and I haven't yet been able to trace where they were from, curses! Of course my other problem is that the name my have been a variation of Bracey so I live in hope and follow up any possible leads. regards Jane Pearsonjtpoutdoor@xtra.co.nz ----- Original Message ----- From: "Allen Temple Beagan" <abeagan@adelphia.net> To: <IRL-CAVAN-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, April 04, 2004 4:05 PM Subject: Re: [IRL-CAVAN] 1821 Census > Hi, > Where in Devon is your Bracey from? > > > Allen Temple Beagan > http://members.tripod.com/~Al_Beagan/start.htm > researching Beagan and McCabe in Cavan > Beagan and Trainor in Monaghan > Chevallier, Knight, Temple in Jersey > Beagan, Knight, Brace, Chancey, Cadwell, Vincent, Rowsell in NFLD > Beagan, Power, Duncan, McCabe and Trainor in PEI > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "J T Pearson Outdoor Training" <jtpoutdoor@xtra.co.nz> > To: <IRL-CAVAN-L@rootsweb.com> > Sent: Sunday, March 28, 2004 4:45 PM > Subject: Re: [IRL-CAVAN] 1821 Census > > > > Hi Allen > > Wonder if I could add my name to the gowing list of names for you to "keep > > an eye out for ' in the 1821. > > The names I am interested in are > > BIGGS, LOVETT(LOVAT)(LOVETTE)(LOVELL), McCAWLEY(McAULEY)(McCULLOUGH), > IRWIN > > (ERWIN). > > BIGGS, LOVETT and MCCAWLEY are not that common in Cavan so far as I can > make > > out, (especially Biggs) so I am hoping that that is not asking too much.

ANGLO-CELT OCTOBER 19, 1854 HARVEST HOME AT DANESPORL--On Tuesday, the 16th inst., the Right Hon. and Very Rev. Lord FITZGERALD and VESEY, L.L.D., Dean of Kilmore, gave a sumptuous dinner and tea to eighty persons, his lordship's tradesmen, labourers, &c. The guests did ample justice to the roast beef and plum pudding...The whole was conducted under the immediate superintendance of the Honourable MIss FITZGERALD and her sister, who were unremitting in their kind attention to the guests.... All separated, peaceably at an early hour. A CHILD EATEN BY A SOW--Last week a fine child belonging to a person named CONAGHTY, residing in the townland of Kill, near Kilnaleck, was left alone in the house, some occasion calling the rest of the family out for a time. The first that returned, met a sow outside the door, having in its mouth the child, quite dead, and already half devoured. THE TURNIP--We have seen a specimen of the turnip crop grown by Dr. KELLY, of this town, on the farm which he holds from MR. M'LENIHAN, of Ballyhaise. The specimen now before us weights 111bs. in measure- ment it is 30½ by 25½ inches. The seed was purchased from Mr. Edward KENNEDY, Cavan, and sowed in June last. It is the white stone turnip. The manure was guano. Mr. M'LENIHAN deserves high credit for the encouragement he gives his tenants to grow green crops, and improve upon the agriculture of bye gone years. THE VICTORS OF THE ALMA--Amongst the officers of whom honorable mention is made in the despatches of the Lord Raglan, are Lieutenant Colonel AINSLIE, of the 93rd, recommended by the Duke of Cambridge, and Major, the Hon. Edward PAKENHAM, recommended by the writer himself. Both these gentlemen are connected with this county, the former from his relations to the family of Mrs. HUMPHRYS of Ballyhaise House, and the latter as being nephew of Lady FARNHAM. Both were wounded in the engagement. Another of the Anslie's died of cholera on the 25th ult., at the seat of war. __________________________________________________________ County Cavan Newspaper Transcription Project

ANGLO-CELT OCTOBER 12, 1854 CAVAN PETTY SESSIONS--October 9, 1854 Magistrates present--Theophilus THOMPSON, J. A. NESBITT, John DOPPING, R.M., and Joseph STORY, Esqrs. SELLING WHISKEY AFTER HOURS Michael PURCELL v. Hugh CULLEN A charge for having his house, at Stradone, open at half-past twelve o'clock on the night of the 25th September, and persons drinking therein. Mr. CULLEN alleged that the persons found in the house were lodgers, bona fide. Thomas HOSEY proved that he was one of the persons drinking in Mr. CULLEN's on the night in question. He lodged there that night. To the Court--Had not taken his bed before the police came in. Mr. NESBITT--Then I propose that the full penalty, £2, be imposed in consequence of the defence set up. Mr. THOMPSON--It is not our general court to impose the full fine for the first offence. Head Constable MOORE--I think the last act fixes the penalty for the first offence at ten shillings. PURCELL asserted that CULLEN was fined two years and a half ago for the same offence. MR. M'CABE being appealed to, said that the fine was, for the first offence, 2l., the magistrates having a discretion to reduce it to one fourth. Sergeant BRENNAN said he had no complaint whatever to make against CULLEN's house. Mr. THOMPSON said, in the circumstances, he would impose a fine of one pound. DESECRATION OF THE SABBATH Sergeant BRENNAN v. Peter M'KEON A charge of dressing stacks of oats on Sunday last. Same v. Felix M'KEON A similar charge. Both were ordered to pay the cost of the summons and discharged. TRESPASS Henry HAUGHTON v. William SAUNDERSON A charge that defendant's calves were in plaintiff's grounds. Mr. HAMILTON appeared for the complainant. John DONEGAN, plaintiff's boy, proved the trespass, and that his master's fences were reasonably good. Defendant alleged that the mearing was not a good one. Court--That is no defence. You should serve plaintiff with a notice that his fences were bad, and if he does not mend them, then summon him. You are fined six pence and costs. Same v. John MOORE An application was made by defendant for postponement as he was ordered to keep away from the excitement of public meetings. Mr. HAMILTON--But he has one to manage his business and he should answer for him here. My client's top-dressed ground is trespassed upon by defendant's twelve cows and is he to have no redress for it? Same v. William Moore BLACK Mr. THOMPSON said he had a note from Mr. BLACK stating that he was ill of gout and could not attend. The Bench were unanimous in postponing the case. MR. HAMILTON--I think a medical certificate, and not a note to your worship, was the course for Mr. BLACK to take. Mr. THOMPSON--We have postponed the case. MR. HAMILTON--Of course I cannot help you, nor alter your decision. WAYLAY AND ASSAULT Patrick MULLIGAN and Hugh HILL v. Hugh CORKAN, Thomas FLOOD, Patrick M'NALLY, Thomas TIERNEY, and John SHERIDAN. A charge of waylay and assault. Hugh HILL sworn--Went with Pat MULLIGAN to SHERIDAN's house last Sunday three weeks. SHERIDAN lives in Cullentragh. On their return Hugh CORKAN went with witness discoursing him, so did SHERIDAN; they were looking behind them constantly when M'NALLY came up and knocked down witness and kicked him, so did FLOOD; witness got away, when TIERNEY came to him and struck at him, but witness got shooting by. SHERIDAN did nothing to witness but refused to assist him when he called on him. To Mr. NESBITT--Went to Mr. HUMPHRYS who ordered witness and MULLIGAN to summon; MULLIGAN has stagged since and does not appear. Mr. DOPPING--I think there is no charge against SHERIDAN, so we may bring him forward as a witness in the case. Mr. NESBITT--He is an accessory after the fact, by not assisting HILL when he called on him. Witness to Court--MULLIGAN was struck as well as he. To Mr. DOPPING--Witness' side was all black with the kicks he got. To Mr. THOMPSON--Can assign no cause for the outrage; never had any interference with the defendants. Hugh CORKAN, TIERNEY, and M'NALLY, were sentenced to six weeks imprisonment at hard labour, and SHERIDAN for one month, as an accessory after the fact. A warrant was ordered to issue against FLOOD who did not appear. ANOTHER WAYLAY Thomas MILLS v. Peter M'LENNAN Same v. Luke CAFFREY A charge of assaulting complainant who was gamekeeper to Mr. BURROWES of Stradone, on the 30th July last. Complainant had been prosecuting some men for killing rabbits in MR. BURROWES' demesne, when, as he was returning home, CAFFREY kicked and boxed him. M'LENNAN did nothing nor did witness ask him for assistance; asked CAFFREY why he struck him but got no answer; cannot say whether CAFFREY was sober, but he appeared to be so. To MR. DOPPING--Did not strike CAFFREY in return, witness's leg was black where CAFFREY struck him. To Sergeant BRENNAN--Witness had some groceries under his arm which spilled out on the road and CAFFREY tramped upon it but can- not say whether this was intentionally. Peter M'LENNAN sworn (the magistrates being decided that he was a competent witness as not being inculpated,) did not see CAFFREY strike complainant, but heard another boy telling him not to do so. Sergeant BRENNAN--CAFFREY acknowledged to myself, your worships, that he was guilty, but was hearty at the time. It was ruled that CAFFREY should be fined half a crown and costs, or in default, to be imprisoned for forty-eight hours. THE DISADVANTAGE OF GREEN CROPPING Peter CLARKE v. James LEE Same v. Pat RAHILL A charge of stealing complainant's turnips. How could he stand this? His landlord was obliging him to sow turnips and put guano upon his grounds, for that purpose, and the country was taking them away. Mr. HAMILTON who appeared for defendants, interrogated complainant and ascertained that they only took away two turnips on the occasion charged. The Bench ruled that the defendants should pay one shilling each, with costs. _____________________________________________________________ County Cavan Newspaper Transcription Project

We have seen a portion of the MS., and are disposed to augur favourbly of it. SHOOTING AN EYE OUT--We have been informed that Mr. JOHNSTON, of Drumshimmuck, was held to bail at the last petty sessions held in Derrylinn, before Messrs. HOLMES, R.M., and MAGUIRE, J.P., for shooting the eye out of a boy named CURRY, who was pulling sloes, as he alleged, in a hedge near his (JOHNSTON's) orchard. The occur- rence took place more than a month ago, and what is specially strange in the matter is, that the magistrate to whom application was made first, refused to listen to the case at all. The boy is under the care of Dr. O'DONOVAN of Belturbet, and there are yet but slight hopes of his recovery. A REAL MARRIAGE IN COOTEHILL--Considerable excitement and gossip prevailed in Cootehill on Wednesday last (yesterday) in con- sequence of Mr. Edward BROWN, Registrar of Marriages for the district, having married a rather young man of the name of Thomas JOHNSTON, of Ashfield, near Cootehill, at nine o'clock on that morning, to Miss Ellen M'CREEDY, who was present when her father, the late Joseph M'CREEDY, was stabbed in the abdomen, near Newbliss, on the evening of Sunday, the 17th ult., by Francis HOPKINS, one of her then suitors, whom she courageously disarmed of the knife with which he inflicted the wound, and of which he died on the night of the Wednesday following. We noticed the circumstance in this paper at the time of its occurrence. HOPKINS awaits his trial in gaol for the offence, at the ensuing assizes of Monaghan. __________________________________________________________ County Cavan Newspaper Transcription Project

ANGLO-CELT OCTOBER 5, 1854 DEATH On Monday se'ennight the remains of the late John Copeland JONES, Esq., passed through this town to their last resting place, attended by a great number of persons of all classes and denominations. Mr. JONES, who died in England, will be long regretted by his tenantry in CAVAN and Meath, and more especially the labouring classes, to whom he was at all times a friend, indeed. ________________________________________________________ MILITARY PROMOTION--IN a late announcement from the war office, we find the following:-- 46th Foot--E. J. DUMARESQ, Geth(?) to be Ensign by purchase, vice COOTE, promoted. Every person knows of the 46th, but every one does not know that the Mr. COOTE who has been promoted is a Cavan man, son of the late Richard COOTE, Esq., of Bellamont Forest, Cootehill, whom Captain NICHOLAS is said to have treated so grossly. Promotion is a good thing; we wish it for all our countrymen, particularly for hose who are more immediately connected with us, but we confess that we would wish it in many another regiment rather than in the 46th--of the snub--- young---and more especially poor officers, don't recollect notoriety. At any rate, the promotion was due to Mr. COOTE, if it were only to compensate for the indignity which it is alleged was put upon him. THE CHOLERA--A poor man passing from Glasgow through Belfast, we supposed, to his own country was found by Dr. WADE, of Belturbet, on Saturday evening last, near Castlesaunderson, evidently labouring under cholera. He was removed into Belturbet dispensary, and, though, every care was bestowed on him, he died there on Sunday morning at seven o'clock. Considerable alarm was created in the town and vicinity, but the event has proved how groundless it was, for there has not been anything that could be at all construed into a presence of the disease there since. _____________________________________________________________ COUNTY OF CAVAN -- DIVISION OF CAVAN A List of Applications received by the Clerk of the Peace from persons seeking Excise Licences for the sale of Beer, Spirits, &c., by Retail, within said County.....

ANGLO-CELT SEPTEMBER 28, 1854 THE WAR There is no late news of any importance to hand. The allied forces, Turkish, English, and French, landed in the Crimea without opposition, and forthwith proceeded on a march to Sebastopol. How they will fare there, with the winter close at hand, and the "Conservator of the peace of Europe," as some fool, we don't remember his name, styled him, and a horde of Cossacks--but enough. Taxes will press, and the Irish Militia will be raised out of a diminished population. But these eventualities are to be expected. ______________________________________________________________ THREE MEN DROWNED--On Sunday evening, the 24th inst., about four o'clock, as Mr. IRVINE, his servant man, Mr. MOORE, the architect and his son, were all four sailing under a stiff breeze on Lake Erne, about four and a half miles down the lake from Enniskillen, in Mr. IRVAN's (sic) yatch. The yatch made right before the wind with all her canvass on, she immediately sank from carrping (sic) too much canvass. Mr. MOORE and son together with Mr. IRVAN's servant man were drowned. Mr. IRVINE narrowly escaped, and I hear, by wrapping his mackintosh closely about his body keeping the air (by which the mackintosh was inflated) secure till he was driven by the waves so near shore as to allow him to walk on dry land. Mr. MOORE leaves a wife and a large young family to deplore his untimely death. _____________________________________________________________ County Cavan Newspaper Transcription Project

ANGLO-CELT SEPTEMBER 21, 1854 THE ULSTER BANK IN CAVAN--We are sorry--and our readers will share in the regret--that William THOMPSON, Esq., is retiring from the managership of the branch of the Ulster Bank, which is in this town, having been promoted to an important post in the bank in Belfast. We question if the annals of our town could give record of another who, within so short a space of time, acquired the high character which Mr. THOMPSON did. All who knew him--and he was known to every one--esteemed him as a gentleman who knew how to temper the most energetic business habits with courtesy and kindness. James WANN, Esq., is appointed in his place, and while we say of him that he is well worthy to be successor to Mr. THOMPSON, we are confident that we could pay him no higher compliment..... HOMICIDE--A man named M'CREEDY, a resident in Cootehill, in this county, died yesterday from the effects of a wound he received on Sunday last, in these circumstances. He went matchmaking to the house of a person named HOPKINS, who lived at a distance of about four miles from the town, and somehow or other, an alteration took place then. Word followed word, and at last HOPKINS rushing upon him stabbed deceased with a knife in the belly. He lingered until yesterday, as we have stated, and then died. A coroner's inquest was held on his body to day, but the issue we have not yet learned. ____________________________________________________________ BIRTHS Sept. 17, in Cavan, the wife of Rev.

ANGLO-CELT SEPTEMBER 14, 1854 CAVAN PETTY SESSIONS--Monday, September 11, 1854 Magistrates present--Theophilus THOMPSON, Robert ERSKINE, and John DOPPING, R.M., Esqrs. WHO CAUSES THE NUISANCE The Guardians of the Cavan Union a. Charles SHERIDAN; Same a. Elizabeth KELLY; Same a. Peter M'GAURAN. A charge of permitting a nuisance about certain premises in Lurganboy. Mr. TULLY, solicitor, stated that the other day there was a meeting of the Commissioner to form a board of health, and until this was done the guardians had the power of having persons punished for nuisances. Mr. THOMPSON said there was a difficulty in the case, as one party was throwing it upon another, until it ultimately rested on the road contractor, Mr. Peter M'GAURAN. The case ultimately turned against Mr. M'GAURAN, as if he had opened the shore. MR. M'GAURAN stated that he had never opened the shore; he had to do with another shore from the Barrack Hill, which Mr. HAGUE thought to connect with the shore which caused the nuisance in question, as if the latter was included in the presentment, but failed to do so. The fact was, that the place where the nuisance is was private property, with which he could not interfere, even though he was willing to do. The complaints in all the cases were dismissed. A SOBER MAN DEAD DRUNK Samuel LAURENCE a. William FITZPATRICK A charge of being drunk in Butlersbridge. Defendant produced testimonials as to steadiness and sobriety from MR. PINCHIN, Sub-Inspector of Constabulary in Belturbet, and Mr. GUMLEY. J.P. He was cautioned, fined one shilling with costs, and discharged. EVERYTHING IN ITS PROPER PLACE The Commissioners of Cavan a. Mathew M'GAGHRAN, Same a. James COWAN. Charges of selling turf out of the place appointed for that purpose by t he Commissioners. John GOLRICK proved the fact of the offering for sale in both cases. Mr. John ARMSTRONG, solicitor, stated for M'GAGHAN, that his father had offered a price for the turf in the morning, and the defendant had only gone down, on after thought, to accept what he was offered, when he was seen by GOLRICK. The complaint was withdrawn in this case, and in the other, the defendant was ordered to pay the cost of the summons, and to be more cautious for the future as to where he exposed his turf for sale. A FAIR EXCHANGE John REILLY a. Wm. STEELE A charge that defendant, a constable, carried away a fender, com- plainant's property, from Ford Lodge auction. The defendant alleged that it was his own fender he took away; it had been knocked down to himself. Mr. John M'CABE, the Petty Sessions Clerk, who made the entries at the auction, produced the book, from which it appeared that fender No. 5 was knocked down to Mr. REILLY; now, Mr. STEEL admitted that it was fender No. 5 that he took away. Mr. DOPPING thought it was Mr. VERNON who ought to be defendant in the case, for not making good to a buyer what had been sold to him on his behalf. MR. M'CABE said, oh, Mr. VERNON's part, that if Mr. REILLY under- took to swear that the fender taken by STEELE was the one he bought, STEEL would give it up, or he himself would make good the difference in value. It was left to Mr. M'CABE to decide the matter between the parties. A TICKET--NOT FOR SOUP Elizabeth CARMICHAEL a. David RIED A charge for 5s. 9d. for sprigging. SLOANE was the predecessor in the agency of REID (sic), and when she brought in her work to him he paid her in a document, and not in money. RIED stated that he had no right to pay the money; it was marked "paid" in the book which SLOANE left after him, and had actually been dis- charged by the firm. The court ruled the firm had a right to pay the girl; if they had paid it before, through an agent little trustworthy, that was their own loss; they should not have placed confidence in him, and if they did, the public should not suffer by it. A decree was granted in the case for 5s. 9d, the amount claimed and 4s. costs, the girl having frequently had to come to Cavan to look for her wages. SHARP PRACTICE Thomas MARTIN a. John PRATT A charge for threatening to cut off complainant's head with a scythe, whereby he was obliged to leave the service of defendant's father. Mr. TULLY stated the case for the complainant--Defendant threatened complainant with a scythe, and when he was threatened with the law, defendant said that's all the good it will do you, you will get no justice against me. Now, he Mr. TULLY quite repudiated such an insinuation, for he did not believe there was a more pure bench on earth. Mr. THOMPSON--We do our best at any rate. The complainant swore all that Mr. TULLY stated, he had no witness to produce except God and defendant's father. Defendant's father proved that when complainant was ordered to do some work, he said he would rather work for the devil than such black- guards. Upon the occasion, when complainant swore he was threatened with the scythe, there was no such threat, but he was not present when, upon the previous day, it was alleged defendant threatened him with a pitchfork. Complainant said he was quite willing to go back to his service, but he was afraid of the defendant and required to have him bound over to keep the peace. Defendant's father acted most boisterously, said that complainant "swore confounded lies," and ought to "have the ears cut off him". The parties agreed to forget and forgive, and left the court, though clearly on any other terms than those of cordiality and sincerity. STEALING HAY Robert MILLAR a. Bernard SHERIDAN A charge of stealing hay, complainants property, from the land of Killawilla. John DENNENY examined by Mr. M'GAURAN--Was on the lands in question of the 24th ult., looking after Mr. MOORE's (of Drumelis) cattle; saw SHERIDAN there before sunrise; saw him lifting hay, putting it in a bundle, and bringing it into his own land; could see who was taking the hay, and afterwards passed him by with the load on his back. Cross-examined by Mr. J. ARMSTRONG--Is from Cavan; is as well conducted as he can; was not shocked at seeing one stealing another decent man's hay; cannot say how long afterwards it was when he told MILLAR; recollects now that it was three days after, saw MILLAR passing by his master's door in the mean time; did not like to go between neighbours until he went to his clergy, and they ordered him to tell of the theft. Mr. ARMSTRONG--Why not tell MILLAR at once? MR. M'GAURAN--Tell him what you were saying about the clergy, it may be of use to Mr. ARMSTRONG. Mr. ARMSTRONG--No indeed, MR. M'GAURAN, I don't go to your clergy, and you could not induce me. Mr. TULLY--I fear a greater grace would be required for this purpose than any Mr. M'GAURAN could communicate. To Mr. DOPPING--Went to confession in the general way, and scrupled this consciousness of another man's guilt amongst other thing. Mr. THOMPSON--Sure his stealing the hay was no crime of yours. MR. M'GAURAN--Oh! there is a guilt of silence as well as of actual commission; if you knew a man to be cognizant of a murder, you would soon brand him if he concealed it. To Mr. ARMSTRONG--Was as far as from the courthouse to the gaol from defendant when he was lifting the hay; described his coat and trousers and brogues. Robert MILLLAR examined by Mr. M'GAURAN--Recollects being told of the stealing of the hay; is not on speaking terms for the last ten years with SHERIDAN; defendant had no hay cut in his meadow at the time in question. To Mr. ARMSTRONG--It is immaterial to you whether I go to a priest. I was married by Rev. Mr. BRADY. To Mr. DOPPING--There was a dispute about hay between the com- plainant and defendant but the latter took away all the hay he claimed before the taking away of which there is allegation. Mr. THOMPSON said the matter was settled; it was not a case for a jury in the presence of the last remark that there was a dispute about the proprietor of the hay. Mr. M'GAURAN submitted that the magistrates had a right to grant informations irrespective of the credibility of DENNENY that it was for the jury to consider. Mr. THOMPSON--Oh, we have summary jurisdiction in the case, and would never sent it before a jury. Thomas BRADY examined by Mr. M'GAURAN--Is complainant's servant, to his knowledge SHERIDAN carried off the hay he claimed as his own long before the occasion of which the theft was alleged; MILLAR did not complain of this carrying off by SHERIDAN; why this was so he cannot tell. The case was dismissed. INTERNATIONAL LAW Patrick MACKEN v. Philip ALWILL A charge of embezzlement from several parties in America to a large extent. Mr. THOMPSON told his brother magistrates that Patrick MACKEN had, on Saturday last, complained to him that he was defrauded by OLWIN (sic) of 327 dollars. That statement was put in the form of an information, a warrant for further inquire was granted and defendant arrested. For his own part he thought the bench had no jurisdiction in the case. Mr. ARMSTRONG then stated the case. MACKEN resided in Mobile where he had carried on business successfully. Being about to retire he had goods to dispose of. On the 14th May last OLWILL applied to purchase them and a bargain was struck that he should have them for about £60 of our money. Mr. SWANZY--as a preliminary objection urged that if any offence was committed at all it was committed in America. The magistrates here had, therefore, no right to enter into the case, not having a commission from President Pierce, and the alleged offence concerning only his government whether the accused was or was not guilty was quite irrelevant; the issue being whether he could be tried here for an offence which, it was alleged, he had committed in America. Mr. THOMPSON said he quite agreed with Mr. ARMSTRONG unless the case bore another aspect now from what it assumed when last before him; but he thought if the case was substantiated as it was charged they could detain the prisoner until the government or any of their competent parties determined what was to be done with him [Discussion as to whether the case could be tried in Cavan.] Patrick MACKIN (sic) examined by Mr. ARMSTRONG--Resides in Mobile, Alabama, is originally from Granard; resided between New Orleans and Mobile for 19 years; Philip OLWILL came to Mobile five years ago; had a bag and stick gathering rags; made some money in this way; several times bought goods from witness; the last he bought was on the 15th March last, or about that, he bought to the amount of 327 dollars, and had them carried home where he kept a small store; he did not promise to pay immediately; it was usual to give a month's credit, he would have given him 5,000 dollars worth as well; he got the goods from other people on credit at the same time; he got about 2,600 dollars worth in all; he left Mobile on the 18th; witness would suppose for New Orleans, where it is the custom to go for shipping; the boxes and bales being all empty in the accused's store roused witnesses suspicion; he followed him to New Orleans where he discovered that he had sailed in the ship, 'Moses Taylor' for Liverpool, that was on the 24th May; learned in New Orleans that he had disposed of all his goods; returned to Mobile on the 27th and found that his wife was gone, and the store cleared; learned that she had gone to New Orleans; witness returned to that city after her to watch her; went to her in her brother-in- law's, she said her husband had left her without a cent and had gone to California; she sailed for Liverpool in the 'Saint Louis," and witness went in a steamer after her, and arriving in Liverpool, before her saw her land; after she had said witness went to a Notary Public and the British Consul and other parties and got certain writings from them that he might be able to follow him wherever he went; OLWILL told him that certain vessels which he had coopered for him were full of copper, whereas there was only a little copper on the top and the rest was only broken bottles, so that broken bottles were thus bought at the price of copper. This the Company to which he made the sale, swore before the British Minister. He had Mrs. OLWILL made known to the detectives in Liver- pool; one of them had her pointed out to him, and he kept an eye on her until he saw her shipped for Dublin; witness followed her, and learned that she had gone on to Athlone;; witness followed again; stayed a day there and then came to Granard, where he learned that the woman had gone to Crossdoney, thence he tracked her to Cavan and found that she was in Mr. M'CORMICK's Bridge-street, knowing that the husband and wife were not far removed from each other, he had informations lodged against him, and went with the police to search for him; found him on the cockloft or garrett, all trembling and seeming as if he would faint. Cross-examined by Mr. SWANZY--Was in no difficulties himself when he sold the goods; was not charged about a slave killed; but the prisoner was in bonds for stealing a horse, and only for this he thinks he would not have run away; OLWILL was in New Orleans until about the 23rd of May; did not see him leaving that day, and would think it strange if he had the Captain's certificate that he did not sail to the 27th of June; he should have said the 23rd of June, not of May, was the day on which he sailed. Mr. SWANZY maintained that there was no felony in the case; there was a mere sale between the parties, and if it had taken place in Dublin, none but a civil action could be instituted....(more discussion) The Bench ruled that the affidavits in the case were not legal evidence, and could not be acted upon. The case was therefore dismissed without prejudice. _____________________________________________________________ County Cavan Newspaper Transcription Project

ANGLO-CELT SEPTEMBER 14, 1854 DEATH BY DROWNING--On Sunday morning, the 10th inst., a young man named KENNEDY was drowned in the river Erne, about two miles distant from Belturbet. It appears that he and another boy went out to bathe, and the deceased, who could not swim very well, ventured rather too far out, and was actually drowning before his comrade observed him; he was at too great a distance to aid him until it was late. _____________________________________________________________ DIED On the 11th inst., at his residence, Seneschalston House, county Meath, in the prime of life, Laurence KELLY, Esq., a gentleman universally esteemed for his various benevolent and philanthropic qualities, combined with his mild and unassuming demeanour. In him the numerous poor of that locality have lost a generous bene- factor, and a constant and useful employer. His remains were accompanied on Wednesday last, to Painstown cemetery, by an extensive circle of respectable relatives, and a very considerable number of the clergy, gentry, and peasantry of the surrounding vicinity ___________________________________________________________ County Cavan Newspaper Transcription Project

Regarding Irish Book, has anyone ever heard of a book called the Swords of Co. Kildare? I searched on the Irish Books page, and did not see it. A few years ago, I saw it on a web site before I found out htat my own Swords family came from Kildare. Now I can't find mention of it anywhere. Colleen Fitzpatrick S California
