M.

John VERVERS, Esq., R.M., who is located in Bailieborough, was the only J.P. who assisted his Worship in the disposal of the crown business, which was exceedingly light, there being 15 crown numbers. On the grand jury having been sworn, his Worship, the Assistant Barrister merely addressed them for the purpose of congratulating them upon the peaceable state of the county, and informed them that he was happy to state that as there (sic) duties were so light, he would be able to discharge them from further attendance in a very brief period, there being no case on the calendar which would require any particular attention from either him or them. Whereupon MR. REDDY thought, in consequence of the very peaceable state of the county, it would be very desirable to have the inhabitants of it exonerated from the operation of Insurrection Act, to which application their Worships assented. But stated that the application for that purpose should emanate from a majority of the J.P.'s of the county in public meeting assembled. There were only 180 civil processes and ejectments at these Sessions. ___________________ RULE OF COURT James QUILLEN, assault on Peter REILY--four months' imprisonment.

Messrs. LUCAS, CORBALLY, MOORE, DUFFY, KENNEDY and GREVILLE, M's.P. attended, together with the Right Rev. Dr. CANTWELL, and a large assemblage of the gentry and clergy of Leinster.

Hi all, Just wondering if anyone is researching the following families, all of Strathdene (or Stradone perhaps), : John and Mary DUNLEAVY married in 1833 Beggens, Bygans, Coil, and Coyle. Thank you, Jenni South Australia

Hi Jennifer There has been a lot of research done on the Begans/Beggens surname in Cavan. Check source material from researcher Al Beagan. As far as Coil/Coyle I seem to be the central point for this surname. I have collected and compiled data on Coyle/Coil s for quite sometime. I maintain a database with about 25,000 individual records, and a website with posted raw data volunteered from many other Coyle researchers. Additionally I am in contact with another group that run a mail list mainly concerned with Coil spelling and another derivative ---Kyle/Kile of the name. You can visit my website and browse the compiled data or simply write to me with your information and I can plug it into the database to look for matchs. The website is; http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~coyleclan/ To look at the collected data just click on the TAB for "Coyle Raw Data" and browse the directories for specific information. Feel free to copy and share anything you like, that what it's there for. Any questions let me know I'll do what I can to help. Have A Great Day!!

Hello Listers, This is a request from a 79 year old gentleman who does not have a computer. Is there any researcher interested in either CLARK(E) or McCORMICK from Swanlinbar, parish of Kinawley. Cecelia CLARKE born abt 1816 left Swanlinbar and travelled to Australia in 1841 onboard the ship Runnymede. Her parents had the surnames CLARKE and McCORMICK. John would be delighted if he could find a new cousin. Also could SKS please advise the condition and availability of the church registers for the RC parish of Kinawley. Regards to all, Carole in Aus

Hi all, I'm new to this group, in fact, new to genealogy in general, so please excuse my ignorance from time to time. I have just traced family members JOHN and MARY DUNLEAVY from Sydney, Australia in 1841, a married couple, and "native of Strathdene, Co Cavan" as stated on shipping records here. Would you mind please explaining where Strathdene is, and where I might begin here to look for records on this couple, and their families? Thank you, Jenni South Australia

"The Anglo Celt" Cavan; Thursday, September 2, 1852 The inquest on the body of Margaret KEOGH, killed by being fired at out of a window at the late election in Cork, terminated on Wednesday. After more than two hours' deliberation the jury returned a verdict of manslaughter against Henry Bible, and Campbell, the policeman. Thomas Francis MEAGHER had made a final declaration of his intention of becoming a citizen of the United States. He declared "to renounce forever all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, or sovereignty whatever, and particularly to the Queen of Great Britain and Ireland, of whom I am now a subject." Mr. Feargus O'CONNOR's health is rapidly improving under the care of Dr. TUKEE, of whose maisen de sante he is now an inmate. Moderate diet and restriction from intoxicating liquors, together with abundant exercise and the absence of excitement (political, pecuniary, and personal) have brought about this favourable result. As yet Mr. O'Connor has not been allowed to see his friends. The Galway Packet says it can state on authority "that there is no truth in the paragraph which is going the round of the press, that Limerick has been reported on by the Commissioners as the port selected for the Packet Station. ARREST OF THE REV. MR. BURKE AND THE REV. MR. CLUNE (From the Limerick Reporter) The Rev. J. BURKE, P.P., Cartole, proceeded to Sixmile-bridge this day, when it was intimated that bail would be taken for his appearance at Ennis assizes, to answer the indictment of having headed a seditious riot. The Rev. Mr. BURKE was accompanied by the Rev. Mr. NOONAN, P.P., Cappaghwhite; Michael QUINN, Esq., J. T. DEVITT, Esq., J.P., and M. LENIHAN, Esq. The Rev. Mr. CLUNE, P.P., Six-mile-bridge; D. J. WILSON, Esq., Rev. Mr. O'SHAUGHNESSY, C.C., Callaghan's Mills, &c., were in the village. W. L, JOINT, Esq., solicitor, in the absence of Mr. O'DONNELL, professional adviser of the reverend-gentleman, was present. After a short time they proceeded to the court-house which was completely deserted by all the Magistrates of the neighbourhood, with the exception of John O'BRIEN, Esq., R.M., Tulls, to whom the "great unpaid" entirely left the duty which devolved upon the bench for the day. Several persons were in court, who had been arrested on the previous day, char! ged with rioting on the day of 22nd ult., and others charged with the abduction of certain voters from Meelick on the same morning. Soon after their appearance in court, Mr. O'BRIEN intimated that he was ready to take bail in the grand jury room for those who wished to tender bail. In answer to an inquiry, whether he was ready to proceed to the open court to hear such applications as would be made on behalf of the accused Mr. O'BRIEN positively refused doing so, stating it was not his intention to lave the grand jury room. The rev. gentleman, with the gentlemen by whom they were accompanied, and the 'rioters' who were charged, and whose names and places of residence are as follows: - Thomas RIEDY, Limerick; Patt M'INERNEY, Crossroads; James HALLORAN, Jas. QUINLIVAN, and Patt KINEVANE, of Thomondgate, then proceeded to the grand jury-room. Mr. O'BRIEN said he was then ready to take bail for such as would give it. The course was clear. He could do no more than take bail. If bail was refused, he had another duty to perform which he should execute. Mr. JOYNT requested the magistrate to read over the informations of those who had sworn against the accused. The first person who appeared as having sworn information was Sarah WHITE a girl of about16 or 17 years of age. She swore that on the morning of the 22nd ult., KINEVANE, QUINLIVAN, &c., all went to her house, following J. FROST of Derra, and his sons, Edward and Patick FROST. She was so frightened that she did not know who the others were - they were forty in all; they took away the Frosts with them. Mr. JOYNT said, that with the permission of the bench he would put some question to the witness. Mr. O'BRIEN - It is in your power to cross-examine her if you like; but I have to assure you that it cannot affect the case one way or the other, or my conduct towards those who are accused. I have to take bail; and if it be refused, to commit the persons to prison. Mr. WILSON - Before whom were the informations sworn? Mr. O'BRIEN - All the informations were sworn before me. Mr. JOYNT thought that it would have been fairer to the accused - much better in all respects - more constitutional, and affording the people more respect for the law, if the informations in this case were taken in open court at petty sessions in the first instance, and then the matter could be inquired into properly and fairly. Mr. O'BRIEN - It is not necessary to summon a person to petty sessions, that person being charged with an indictable offence. On the contrary, the usual course is, to receive informations as I have taken these. If this were not so, it would be a positive defeat of justice. In this case there is a great public event in question. Parties are blamed at one side and the other. Whether I am right or whether I am wrong, I must say that my anxiety is to put an end to the excitement which now prevails on this subject; and my opinion is that every delay only tends to prolong the excitement, and to interfere with the public peace of the country. Mr. JOYNT said that all this might be very right and proper in Mr. O'BRIEN's opinion; but where parties are living in the country, where they do not fly from investigation, where they are known, where they are ready to answer any charge that has been brought against them, it is not only harsh to call on men circumstanced as these to give bail in twenty-four hours, but it is positively unconstitutional to treat them in this way - nothing could possibly be more harsh. Mr. O'BRIEN - Two of the parties charged in these informations live in the city of Limerick. KINEVANE - There is an information there against me, and it can be proved that I was at my usual work on that day, and that I gave no offence to any man. Mr. J. FROST - And I can swear that WALL was working with me that day, and that he had neither hand, act, or part in taking away voters. Mr. JOYNT - After these facts, to insist on bail for these men, or in the alternative of their refusing it, to arrest and send them to jail is the excess of harshness if they do not give bail. WALL - I was at my work all that day and had nothing to do with any one. Mr. JOYNT then cross-examined Sarah WHITE, who swore that she saw Wall go every morning that way to his work; was not surprised at seeing him there; did not see him do anything at all that morning but stand up; did not see him threaten anybody; did not hear him say anything to anybody; he was as quiet as he could be. Mr. O'BRIEN - There is no doubt that there is a difference between WALL's case and others. Mr. JOYNT - I say if that man, WALL, were summoned before petty sessions to answer in this case, the charge would be dismissed on the evidence of the girl who swears the informations against him; and would you call upon that man now either to give bail or go to goal (sic)? Mr. O'BRIEN said he would proceed with the other informations. The next informations are those of William WHITE, a voter. William WHITE came forward to swear that he did not go against his will at all with the men accused of rioting that day. Mr. O'BRIEN - Why did you go? Mr. JOINT - I submit you have no right whatever to cross-examine your own witness. Mr. O'BRIEN - My object is to get the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, and to see that no injury or injustice shall be done to any one. Mr. JOYNT - But is a harsir (?), an unconstitutional , and I will say, a tyrannical set, to compel men to enter into bail, or to send the Queen's subjects to jail, not even on the semblance of accusation. Mr. O'BRIEN said he could not sit there and listen to the word tyrannical used. Mr. JOYNT - I must repeat it. Mr. O'BRIEN - I certainly cannot listen to it. Mr. JOYNT - Nothing can me (sic) more unconstitutional than this conduct of the government. All the witnesses have distinctly sworn there was no injury done to any person. James COLLINS, who swore an information against M'INERNEY, did not appear at all. Mr. O'BRIEN - I was about taking an information from Mr. GOGGIN when you made your appearance. Mr. GOGGAN said that he had no information to give. He never saw people more quiet. Mr. O'BRIEN - Under these circumstances, Mr. GOGGAN had no information to swear. James FROST, of Derra, swore information but he swore also that there was no riot whatever, and that HALLORAN was not there good nor bad. Mr. OBRIEN - Well, now I will take bail for KINEVANE. After a good deal of discussion the magistrate fixed bail for KINEVANE and REIDY of 20£. Each, and sureties in 10£. Each, and for the others 10£. Each, and sureties 5£ each.

Hi all, I'm new to this group, in fact, new to genealogy in general, so please excuse my ignorance from time to time. I have just traced family members JOHN and MARY DUNLEAVY from Sydney, Australia in 1841, a married couple, and "native of Strathdene, Co Cavan" as stated on shipping records here. Would you mind please explaining where Strathdene is, and where I might begin here to look for records on this couple, and their families?
