(The meeting continued, but I did not transcribe it as it is just too long and not particularly interesting.) SUMMARY OF NEWS Three-fourths of the British army in India are Irish, and nine-tenths of the tree-fourths are Catholic. THE FIRST COCK. - A very good specimen of a woodcock has been forwarded to our office, which was shot on August the 25th, by H. P. PIGOTT, Esq., of Capard. It was killed at an elevation of 2,000 feet above the sea, on one of the hills of Ballinacor, county Wicklow, the seat of William KEMMIS, jun., Esq. We may safely put this down as "the first cock" shot in Ireland since last season. Indeed, we have never before hard of one appearing in this country at such a time of the year. It is, at all events, a great rarity, and plainly shows that on some occasions "the early bird" may catch what is not quite so desirable to it as "the worm." - Leinster Express. ANOTHER VICTIM. - The Mayor, and Mr. Watson, accompanied by Mr. Lynch, solicitor, clerk to the bench of magistrates attended at Barrington's Hospital this day to take the depositions of Michael Glynn, whose death is daily expected. - Limerick Reporter. The Londonderry and Enniskillen Railway was opened to Omach, on Friday week. The barque Anne Kenny was towed down the river of Waterford on Friday evening by the two river steamers, with one hundred and nine-five passengers, bound for New York. There are a scarcity of hands in the weaving trade in Belfast. A cotton factory, furnished with power looms, is about to be established near Belfast.

ANGLO-CELT MARCH 30, 1854 CAVAN PETTY SESSIONS--Monday, Mar. 27 T. THOMPSON, Esq., in the chair. Other Magistrates present-- Messrs. ERSKINE, SMITH, and DOPPING, R.M. ''SPREAD'' CLEMENTS v. KING A charge of having persons drinking in his house after ten o'clock, p.m., on Sunday, the 12th inst. Police Constable Henry CLEMENTS found a number of persons drinking in defendant's house on the Half-acre at a quarter past ten o'clock on last Sunday week. There was whiskey there, but witness saw no money paid. Defendant stated that they were all friends whom he had drinking there that day; there were thirty of them his guests that day. Mr. DOPPING--Clearly, MR. KING, you keep an open house. Bryan LEE proved that there were two bride's parties in Mr. KING's house that night; witness was of the number invited; there were none in the house when the police came in but those who had dined there. Mr. SMITH said KING should have dismissed his guests before ten o'clock. If a recurrence took place he should insist on a fine being struck. Mr. THOMPSON--And, Mr. SMITH, would you turn out a man you invited to dine at so early an hour--would be little obliged to you in the circumstances? Mr. DOPPING--Go home, Mr. KING, and I wish you many more such parties. The case was dismissed. TOO FAST Anne BRADY was charged for selling whiskey before two o'clock, but it appearing that her servant-girl had brought in word that it was after two o'clock, the case was dismissed. TENANT-RIGHT CORKAN v. BOYLAN This was a complaint for refusal by a weekly tenant to deliver up a holding after due notice. Mr. THOMPSON--Does she owe you any rent? Witness--I can't say she does, your honour. Mr. SMYTH--Then dismiss the case; the defendant has performed her part of the contract by paying the stipulated rent, and the plaintiff must perform hers. Mr. THOMPSON--Surely you don't mean to say that a tenant may not be ejected if he has paid up his rent. Mr. SMITH--I hold that in this case there is no 'reasonable cause' why the tenant should be dispossessed, and the act under which the summons bought gives it as a defence to the summons for possession; that a reasonable cause can be shewn why the posses- sion should be withheld. Defendant here alleges full payment of rent. If that is not a 'reasonable cause' why she should not be turned out I wish you would tell us what you would look upon as a 'reasonable cause'. Mr. DOPPING agreed with Mr. SMITH; he was quite unable to compre- hend what was a 'reasonable cause' for refusing to quit, if punctual payment of rent was not. He would also beg Mr. THOMPSON to produce one more reasonable. Mr. THOMPSON did not know what one he would allege; at any rate there were several phrases in Acts of Parliament which could not well bear accurate inquiry as to their complete meaning. Some further discussion having taken place on the point, Complainant was asked why he wished to eject a punctual tenant, and replied that she kept an improper house. Here 'reasonable cause' was shewn, and a decree for possession was granted. ____________________________________________________________ CAVAN QUARTER SESSIONS-- Thursday, March 30th There were on bench, besides the Assistant Barrister, Messrs. BURROWES, THOMPSON, SMITH, ERSKINE, J.P.s, and DOPPING, R.M. About eleven o'clock the following gentlemen were sworn on the Grand Jury:-- Thomas HARTLEY, Countenan; Edward KENNEDY, Cavan; Wm.

His Worship addressing them said--Gentlemen of the Grand Jury, I have to tell you that the cases for your consideration are of a light character, and for this I congratulate the county. There are nine cases standing. There is a case in which a grand juror is prosecutor, and, as is usual, he will leave the room when that case is being considered.

ANGLO-CELT MARCH 23, 1854 COUNTY DONEGAL ASSIZES CROWN COURT--LIFFORD, SATURDAY (Before the Chief Baron) MURDER TWENTY YEARS AGO. The Queen v. Daniel SWEENY The prisoner was indicted with the murder of Owen DOGHERTY, at a place called Dangloe, more than 20 years ago. Mr. SMYLY, Q.C., and Mr. JOHNSTON, prosecuted, and Mr. NORMAN and Mr. James HAMILTON defended the prisoner. It appeared from the evidence of several witnesses, that on Easter Sunday morning, 1833, a quarrel took place between the deceased and the wife of the prisoner, in consequence of the latter having driven the sheep of the deceased off her husband's land with dogs. They were scuffling with each other, and in "holts" according to the language of some of the witnesses, when the prisoner, who observed them from his own house, snatched up the tongs, rushed to the spot, and struck deceased over the head with them; before this several members of each family came up and took part in the affray, from the blows received in which the deceased died the following day. The prisoner then left the country, but returned almost to the immediate neighbourhood several years ago. Mr. HAMILTON, in the absence of Mr. NORMAN, addressed the jury for the defence, who, after some deliberation, found the prisoner guilty of manslaughter. Sentence deferred. The Queen v. J. MOOHUN and J. M'KELVIS The prisoners were indicted for corruptly taking money under the pretence of helping the prosecutor to the recovery of stolen goods. Mr. SMYLY, Q.C., and Mr. Robert JOHNSTON prosecuted. Mr. NORMAN and Mr. DOWSE defended the prisoners. The facts of the case were as follows:--A person named David STEWART owed 3l. 5s to the prisoner MOOHUN, which he showed a reluctance to pay. A cow was accordingly carried away from him, and he was informed by MOOHUN that if he placed the 3l. 5s. in M'KELVIE's hands for MOOHUN, his cow would be restored. M'KELVIE agreed to hold the money for this purpose, and STEWART handed it over to him. This short and ready mode of enforcing a demand, rivaling in simplicity even the machinery of the Common Law Procedure Act, is popularly known in Donegal as the "execution of a Glenswilly decree." The jury found the prisoners guilty of the fact, and the Chief Baron refused to reserve a question for the Court of Criminal Appeal as to whether those facts came within the act under which the indictment was framed, observing that this was the second or third conviction for a similar offence, which seemed to be recognised custom in the county. Sentence deferred. (Before Mr. Justice TORRENS) The Queen v. James CANNON The prisoner was found guilty of an aggravated assault with several other persons on a party of coast guards, more than five years ago, near Bunbeg, in this county. He had gone to America and returned, and on his return voluntarily surrendered to stand trial. Two of the coast guard party swore positively to his identity. The prisoner was defended by Mr. HAMILTON. Sentence, twelve months' imprisonment. The Queen v. James DEVITT and C. GALLAGHER The prisoners were indicted for waylaying and beating Patrick QUIN, near Glenties, in this county. Mr. SMYLY, Q.C., and Mr. Robert JOHNSTON, prosecuted, and Mr. James HAMILTON defended the prisoner. It appeared by the evidence of the prosecutor that he overtook two men on his way home from the fair of Glenties, on the 13th November last, about three o'clock in the day. That one of the men, GALLAGHER, entered into conversation with him, and immediately after DEVITT struck him, with a loaded whip, and knocked him off his horse; he did not know either of them before; was sure as to DEVITT; not so sure as to GALLAGHER; he was severely beaten when down, and saved by a person named Patrick LOGAN, who interposed and protected him. Patrick LOGAN was also produced by the Crown, and deposed that DEVITT, whom he knew, was not one of the persons who beat QUIN. The jury, however, found DEVITT guilty, and acquitted GALLAGHER. RECORD COURT (Before Judge TORRENS) MAJOR v. BARTON This was an action of replevin. Plea, eviction of part of the premises. The premises, consisting of the demesne lands of a Kilmacredden, &c., were held by the plaintiff under a fee-farm grant of 1801. The defendant purchased the grantor's interest in 1813, and had taken possession of the above, between the demesne and the sea, the seaweed of which he gave to his tenants, also some other premises called the Port, which had many years ago been delivered up to the defendant by a servant of the plaintiff's family. The jury found that both the shore and the Port were comprised in the grant of 1801, and that they had been taken possession of by the defendant, thereby supporting the plea. There was, therefore, a suspension of the rent. Verdict for the Plaintiff. Counsel for Plaintiff, Messrs. C. BROOKE, Q.C., NORMAN and Dominick M'CAUSLAND. For defendant, Messrs. MAJOR, Q.C., HUNTER and Robert JOHNSTONE. Agents for plaintiff, Messrs. TISDALL and JOHNS. For defendant, Mr. LANGFORD. HARVEY v.M'KINNEY This was an action of trespass for assault. Plea, not guilty. The circum- stances were as follow:--Plaintiff and defendant were travelling together on a public car; the defendant got off to walk up a hill, when the plaintiff left his own seat beside the driver and got on the defendant's; the defendant being about to resume his seat found it occupied by plaintiff and requested him to move; this the plaintiff refused, when, after some altercation, the defendant pulled the plaintiff off the car, and he fell over the fence on the roadside, thereby breaking his arm, and otherwise hurting himself. Plaintiff was a carpenter by trade, and was prevented from working for several months. The driver of the car swore that the plaintiff was drunk, but this was denied by a passenger. The damages were laid at £200. The jury found for the plaintiff £20. Counsel for plaintiff, Messrs. MAJOR, Q.C., BROOKE, Q.C., and M'CAUSLAND; agent, Mr. Lane. For the defendant--Messrs. NORMAN and J. HAMILTON; agent, Mr. Thomas CHAMBERS. CROWN COURT Cormack GALLAHER, Neal GALLAHER, and John GALLAHER, were indicted under the Whiteboy Act, for unlawfully compelling one John O'DONNELL to leave his farm in the month of January last. MR. SMYTH, Q.C., and Mr. Robert JOHNSTONE prosecuted for the Crown, and Mr. DOWSE defended the prisoners. John O'DONNELL examined by Mr. SMYTH, Q.C.--He and his son were working in the farm he had purchased from James SWEENEY, when Cormack GALLAHER came up and caught his spade, and told him he must leave that and give up working on that farm; the other prisoners came up and said the same thing; he (witness) left the land and did not go back since. Cross-examined by Mr. DOWSE--Had given nine pounds for the land to James SWEENEY; did hear it rumoured that SWEENEY had taken the land of Cormack GALLAHER to keep as a pledge till the arrears of rent were paid; did believe that this rumour was true; was to give SWEENEY 35l. for the land; only paid nine; I will not swear that GALLAHER was not looking for the balance of this sum; never paid that balance to any one; John had a stick; Neal took it from him, and said there must be nothing done only in peace. After the examination of another witness the crown closed, and Mr. DOWSE submitted to the court that the indictment was not sustained, and that there was no case for the jury. His Lordship said that it was a mere difference as to civil rights, and though the best plan would be to direct the jury to acquit the prisoners. His lordship also observed that the magistrates should have admitted the prisoners to bail, and not have confined them in gaol on such a charge. The prisoners were acquitted. Patrick CURRAN was indicted for an assault, inflicting actual bodily harm on Peter FRIEL, and also on Peter FRIEL, junior, his son. Counsel for the crown prosecuted; Mr. DOWSE defended the prisoner. It appeared that there was a dispute as to the right of cutting turf on some bog; and the witnesses for the prosecution said that the prisoner, without any provocation, attacked the two FRIELs, and cut the father on the head and the son on the hand. There was contradictory evidence adduced for the defence; and after Mr. DOWSE had addressed the jury, and the Judge had charged. The jury found the prisoner guilty of assaulting the father, and acquitted him on the second indictment for the assault on the son. Sentence deferred. Daniel M'MENAMIN was indicted for an assault on the police while in the execution of their duty, and also for a common assault; and the same prisoner and James GORDON, Hugh MAGINTY, and Samuel FERGUSON, for a riot and a common assault. The Crown prosecuted; and Mr. DOWSE appeared (illegible).. Counsel at considerable length commented forcibly and minutely on the evidence for the Crown, and stated the substance of that he meant to adduce. The evidence for the prisoners differed in many parts from that of the police. After ten witnesses for the defence, The Chief Baron charged the jury, and said that he regretted to find that violence, which was altogether unnecessary, had been used by the police, for which they might be amenable before a jury. He had almost always found the conduct of the police most excellent, and he was sorry to find it the contrary on the present occasion. However, this was not justification for M'MENAMIN if he interfered with them in their duty at the commencement of this business; but on this there was contrary evidence. The counsel for the prisoners had correctly stated the law and it was for the jury to consider the evidence on both sides. The jury having retired, the court was adjourned at ten o'clock at night; and at half-past ten, the Chief Baron having been sent for, the jury found Daniel M'MENAMIN guilty of an assault, and acquitted the other prisoners of the riot and assault, and M'MENAMIN of the charge of riot. _______________________________________________________________ County Cavan Newspaper Transcription Project

ANGLO-CELT MARCH 23, 1854 MARK OF RESPECT--On yesterday and this day a number of men assembled with proper equipments in Croobany, to harrow and sow the farm of Counsellor HILL, which, it will be remembered, was ploughed for him in the same spirit some six or eight weeks ago. Right zealously did they apply themselves to the accomplishment of their labour of love; and now that it is all finished, we may state our opinion, that no work ever redounded more to the credit of him that was passive, or of them that were active, than the tilling of the farm in Croobany. If Counsellor HILL deserved not the honour, he would not have obtained it, if the people deserved not the kindnesses for which they gave the honour, they would never have been so grateful. First came the rich with their offereings of gold, then the people with the sweat of their brow, and even in the latter case, there was a distinction to be noticed, for while none but County Cavan men were at the ploughing, none but County Longford men were at the sowing; each would do its own part, and would not allow another to share with them the burden; of a verity, there are good agents in Ireland yet, and the Irish people are indeed generous. We subjoin a list of those who came, each a distance of at least fifteen miles, with horses and harrows: Philip REILLY, for Mr. Robert WALPOLE, Arva; Chas. REILLY, bailiff; Pat DUFFY, Fyohara; Pat DUFFY, do; Pat DUFFY, do; Owen SHERIDAN, do; Michael REILLY, do; Pat LEAVEY, do; James DUFFY, do; James DUFFY, do; John MORRIS, do; Denis LEAVEY, Pat LEAVEY, do; Pat BRIODY, do. ___________________________________ PATRICK'S DAY IN CAVAN. About three o'clock a.m. the band, which, by the way, we are sorry to see so little cared for by the inhabitants of the town, commenced to play and proceeded round the town executing "Patrick's Day,", the Sprig of Shillelah," &c., in a most creditable and spirit stirring manner. In the evening they went again through the town, to the great gratification of us all, when, strange to say, they were stopped, and the names of every one of them taken down by the police..... ___________________________________ The intended reduction of postage between this country and the colonies to a uniform rate of sixpence on letters not weighing more than half an ounce is now about to come into operation. Mr. CROWDER is mentioned as the probable successor to Mr. Justice TALFOURD.--Daily News.

I believe you misunderstood. First, third, whatever daughter applies to that marriage. Not a previous marriage. All naming patterns apply to that marriage. Not previous marriages, although names used in previous marriages tend to end the use of naming patterns in later marriages. Although I have heard of one gent, married three times but not widowed, named the first born of each marriage after himself. I've often wondered if each wife knew about the previous childrens names.

"The Anglo Celt" Cavan; Thursday, September 9, 1852 MURDER OF O'CALLAGHAN RYAN, ESQ. We subjoin from the Clonmel Chroniclete full particulars so far as they are yet known, of the savage murder of O'CALLAGHAN RYAN, Esq., who was assassinated last Friday, in open day, upon the public road in a populous neighbourhood; and though a policeman, who was within hearing of the fatal shot, hastened forward with the utmost speed no trace could be found of the assassins. We have neither time nor space at present to do more than append the following extract from the Clonmel Chronicle:- It appears that the unfortunate gentleman had some refractory tenants on his property in the county Tipperary, not far from Kilmanaham, and that he had taken all the legal steps towards the eviction, which event was to have taken place, as we have heard on to-day. In the mean time not dreading any evil results to himself personally, he proceeded to the property in question on yesterday, with the view of averting the threatened eviction if the tenants could be brought to terms; but whether his plan was successful or the reverse, we have not learned. On his return in the afternoon towards Clonmel, he passed a policeman on the road near Whitefort, and had not proceded (sic) more than 500 yards when he was fired at by an assassin from behind the ditch of a plantation.on the road side; the policeman hearing the report of the shot immediately hastened forward, and on passing a turn of the road he saw Mr. Ryan's gray horse standing on the road without its rider, and two gre! yhounds standing close by. He also saw the hat which had been worn by the deceased lying on the road. He then saw the marks of persons struggling on the ditch, and following the traces through the plantation found the murdered body of the ill-fated gentleman, whom he had but a few moment's before saluted in the full possession of health and life. The deceased had been draged (sic) towards the brink of a lime-kiln in the plantation, into which the ruffians intended to throw him, when they were disturbed by the policeman. He was shot in the abdomen; but the inhuman wretches could not be satiated nor their vengeance appeased without making assurance doubly sure by battering his head to mummy, both with stones and also with a sharp instrument (such as a hatchet), with which they inflicted some frightful wounds. Instant alarm was given; the police were on the alert; the country was scouted in all directions, but we are sorry to say without effect. Such have been the miserabl! e fate of poor Mr. Ryan than whom a more aimable (sic) man never breathed. He lived amongst us respected by all, and it is needles (sic) to add that his murder has cast a gleam over society which will not be speedily removed. FURTHER PARTICULARS. The scene of this frightful murder is situate in the sub-police district of Kilmanaham, about three-quarters of a mile from the police-station at the latter village, and about one-eighth of a mile beyond Whitefort-house on the Dungarvan road, and in a place well selected for such a deed of blood. There is a valley to the right as one goes from the village, well screened in, with the river Suir in the distance to the right, whilst to the left are Lord Stradbroke's plantations, very much overhanging the road, affording a dense cover for an assassin, as also an easy mode for escape. The unfortunate gentleman was riding in this lonesome place, attended by his favourite greyhounds, from Clashganny in the county Tipperary, and was coming in the direction of Kilmanagham (?) homewards to Clonmel, when at the point we have described, and at the hour of half-past six in the evening, he was shot, as some will say, from behind the low wall which bounds the road on the right, but! as others will have it, on the road and then tumbled the body over the low wall down the steep, with the determination to throw it into an ancient lime-kiln, where, in consequence of its great depth and the overhanging briars with which it is clothed, his body might have remained undiscovered until identification would be impossible. Our reporter, and some friends who accompanied him to this scene of blood and murder, examined every inch of the ground - they found the bloody stone which must have been used to inflict some of the desperate wounds which were inflicted upon the unfortunate gentleman's head; a billhook must have been also used, as there was a desperate cut on the back of the head; the gun shot wound was immediately under the region of the heart. He was not robbed, as his watch and some change remained. The village is filled with people from all parts. The Right Hon. the Earl of Donnoughmore is present, also Edmond MULCAHY, Esq., J.P., Abraham COATES, Charles PIM, Edward SARGINT, Dr. SARGINT, John PRENDERGRAST, Thomas MURPHY, Robert SPARROW, Joseph HONOR, (solicitor, to watch proceedings), Wm. QUINN, of Loughloher, Robert MALCOMSON. - Whitton, Esqs. Several officers of the gallant 39th Regiment were also present. Up to three o'clock the coroner had not arrived. We will keep a space open for the verdict. Rewards will be offered for the apprehension of the murderers. The greatest indignation prevails. The jury, without a moment's hesitation, returned the following verdict. "We find that the said O'Callaghan RYAN, Esq., on the event of Friday, the 3rd September, 1852, was riding on the road to Clonmel, when he was fired at, and shot on the left side of the abdomen, and divers (sic) deep wounds inflicted on his head, which caused his immediate death. And the jurors further find, that the said wounds and shooting were foully and maliciously inflicted on the said O'Callaghan Ryan, Esq., by some person or persons to the said jury at present unknown. After the inquest the body was placed in a shell, and removed into town. We understand the funeral will take place on Monday. County Cavan Newspaper Transcription Project

ANGLO-CELT MARCH 16, 1854 CAVAN PETTY SESSIONS--Monday, March 13. Magistrates present, Robert BURROWES, Esq., and John DOPPING, Esq., R.M. THE SPRIGGING SYSTEM Edward Lenox SLOAN, Robert STINSON, and _____CARNDUFF, a. Ellen MAGUIRE Defendant had detained several pieces of goods given her to sprig. Mr. SLOANE would not swear to the value of the unworked material, but was positive MAGUIRE was the person to whom he had given it on the 14th and 15th of February last. Mr. SLOANE referred to the act of Parliament, 3 & 4 Vic., cap 91, sec. 2. Chairman. Have you any witness, Mr. SLOANE? Mr. SLOANE. Witness! what witness did I want but my book? Chairman. Where is your book? Mr. SLOANE. Where is it? It is away, but I have an extract from it. Chairman. You must get the book. MR. SLOANE having come back with the book, slipped a retainer to Mr. John ARMSTRONG, who succeeded in obtaining a conviction against MAGUIRE, who, for the offence perpetrated against Mr. SLOANE, as well as against Messrs. CARNDUFF and STINSON, was sentenced to be imprisoned for two months, or to pay a fine of 2l. TAKING FORCIBLE POSSESSION Bridget CAVANAGH a. John REILLY Mr. TULLY, for the complainant, stated that the parties are sister and brother; and complainant had some narcotic given her by John REILLY, which stupified her, when the alleged offence took place. Bridget CAVANAGH proved to the circumstances; she got a drink in Stradone, where defendant was present; cannot say what it was, but it had the taste of whiskey. Before she left home that morning had not eaten or drunk anything. After taking the drink went home with John and his wife, and passed a house on the road which belonged to her (complainant). Pat REILLY was caretaker in the house; does not remember giving possession to John, and was not competent to give it at the time alleged. Next morning ordered defendant to leave the house; he said he would when he could provide himself with a place. Defendant frequently threatened her (complainant's) life, and she is afraid of him. To Defendant. Did not ask him into Owen FARRELLY's in Stradone to drink; to her knowledge never invited him to go and live in MAGUIRE's house. Pat REILLY. Was in the house went defendant came to it, but he said he got possession of it from Bridget. Defendant said he would give up possession as soon as he got a place to live in, but knows not how soon that may be. The case was dismissed, as it could not be proved that complainant gave not up the possession. After the parties left the Court, the defendant it seems again threatened Bridget, who came back, and swearing that she was in fear of him, had him bound over, himself in 10l. and two sureties in 5l. each, to keep the peace towards her for one year. MORE SPRIGGING Edward Lennox SLOANE a. Bridget RUDDY Defendant was charged with returning a piece of sprigging work unfinished. Chairman. What loss have you sustained? Mr. SLOANE. None. Chairman. And why this action? Mr. SLOANE. Just look to the 18th section of the act, and you will find that it is immaterial whether I have lost anything or not. Defendant's mother stated that her daughter was engaged in helping to till the farm, and there were plenty of persons living by sprigging who would be glad to get so much of the work done and be paid for it. The Bench ordered the work to be done by the girl, and then she should be paid for it. Mr. SLOANE. And I will keep the expense of the summons out of it. Chairman. You will just do what the Bench orders in the case; you have not right to say you will do this thing or that in the matter. The girl got a month to finish the piece. Mr. DOPPING stated that where he was adjudicating he would never let a decree pronounced, unless the girl took the work with the consent of her mother, if alive. It was unreasonable that parents should be deprived of the services of their children, by their going of their own accord to get work which they might fancy. ______________________________________________________________ Baileborough, 13th March 1854 TESTIMONIAL TO MR.
