Mr. GUILLEMARD, last week by his Grace, the Lord Primate, to the vacancy in the Royal School, Armagh, has furnished us with matter for painful reflection. Previous to condemning of the act of his Grace's, we are determined to ascertain his reasons for thus outraging the universal feeling of Ireland; and on glancing at the "Armagh Guardian" (his Grace's mouth- piece), we find it there put forward as a plea for Mr. GUILLEMARD, that his pupils have been very successful in the walks of literature, many of them holding scholarships in Oxford and Cambridge. The plea might, naturally enough, impose on the unwary, and even be considered, if not an excuse, at least a palliation for his Grace's conduct; but, we confess we are sorry to see a respectable Irish journal like the "Guardian" defile its columns by subterfuge or equivation. It cannot be unknown to the gentlemen connected with that paper that a scholarship in Oxford or Cambridge is no test of merit whatever-- that it is, in fact a mere appendage of wealth. Most of the great families of England can bestow them on whom they please. Thus it is no infrequent thing, to see a gentleman dubbed scholar of Oxford or Cambridge, when he enters although he may be as innocent of Greek and Latin as the moment he was born. In our University, however, of which the Lord Primate is Vice-Chancellor, this is not the case. A gentleman to attain the dignity of scholar must win it from a host of competitors. The plea, therefore, put forward in Mr. GUILLEMARD's favour, turns out to be no plea at all, as he may have educated a number wealthy blockheads who wear horours which should be the rightful reward of poorer and more deserving men. But the "Guardian" says Mr. GUILLEMARD's testimonials were better than those produced by ANY of the Irish candidates. Disposed, as we are, to believe the statements of our contemporary, we certainly cannot credit this. It is well known that upon the situation being advertised a great number of Irish clergymen applied for it--men of eminence--men, who from their abilities and attainments would do honour to situations of far greater importance than that applied for. They had the ban of Ham, however, upon them--they were IRISHMEN, and as such, could not be elected. Here we have the Vice-Chancellor of our University deliberately setting aside Irishmen, because they were IRISHMEN, and appointing the unknow ELEVE of, probably some purse-proud English nobleman to one of the few respectable stations which the SAGACITY of an English parliament has allowed to be disposed of on this side of the Channel. The Irish press, of every shade and hue, is unanimous--save and except his lordships, organ, the "Guardian"--in condemning this wanton insult to our country.... It is not many months since the Bishoprick of Cork was vacant, and the Government thought to confer that lucrative mitre upon an English- man also; but the voice of public opinion was found too strong, and the design had to be abandoned. We believe it is not generally known that an Englishman was appointed to that biishoprick, AND ACTUALLY HELD THE APPOINTMENT FOR FOUR DAYS; but such is the fact. The gentleman we allude to is Dr. HINDS, who has been since promoted to the Deanery of Carlile. But for the sturdy stand made upon that occasion by the whole Irish press, the Englishman would not be enjoying this valuable see. We had almost overlooked another announcement in the "Guardian", connected with the Armagh School. Here it is- "We are happy to add that Dr. MULGAN is to retain his office as head-master." Very kind this of the new English import! He will GRACIOUSLY condescend to allow an Irishman to be his "hewer of wood and drawer of water." WE THANK HIM. ===================================================== ANOTHER ATTEMPT AT MURDER IN THE COUNTYCAVAN-- We have to record another attempt of this description, which proved all but successful, on a farmer name Robert FISHER, who resides at a place called Killicunny, within three miles of Mullagh. On Friday evening last about the hour of eight o'clock, FISHER was fired at on the public road from some ruined walls within seventy perches of his own house as he was returning from MR. KEATING's of Sylvan Park. The shot took effect, wounding him very severely on the right hip and left arm. There are good hopes entertained, however, of his recovery. The assassin must have been very convenient, as the wodding of the piece was found at the very spot where FISHER had been standing when he received the fire. FISHER is an honest, industrious man, and in the habit of employing a great number of labourers. He has been on the best of terms with all his neighbours, and was not engaged in a dispute of any kind, consequently no motive can be assigned for this daring outrage. The guilty party escaped, it is supposed, into the county Meath, which adjoins Cavan near that place, as the police tracked the footsteps of two men in that direction. A reward has been offered under the direction of Master BROOKE, for the prosecution of the ruffians concerned in the attack on LYONS, the bailiff, on the Blackwood property, in this county. =================================================== BIRTHS November 23, at Carnarvon, North Wales, the lady of Walter HUSSEY DE BURGH, Esq., of Donore House, County of Kildare, of a daughter.

Mr. M'EVOY, Roman Catholic rector of the parish of Kells, has been removed to the parish of Dunshauglin, he is to be succeeded by a nephew of Dr. CANTWELL's, the bishop of the diocese. ==================================================== The incidents in anticipation of the Presidential election in the United States have taken a curious turn. Mr. Daniel Webster has been objecting to General Taylor on the ground that he is a sucessful general, and that victorious commanders, like Cromwell, are dangerous to Republican institutions. That such an assertion is not true is proved by many a illustrious name in the histories of Greece, Rome, and Venice; but Mr. Webster need not have gone further back than Washington. ===================================================== BIRTHS At Moneycarrie-house, on the 12th inst., the lady of the Rev. John ROGERS, Comber, of a son. Nov. 15, at Springfield, Mohill, the Lady of the Rev. Samuel Evans HOOPS, of a daughter. November 14, at Creagh Cottage, Ballinasloe, the lady of the Rev.

    3. Concepta? After so many years dealing with me, I'm sure I've earned your pain in the arse award more than once! I was intrigued by the following excerpt today from Cavan itself, on the Phillips surname. I was unaware of there being Phillips there (besides the C of I Cpt Michael Phillips from Belturbit). These family Phillips seem to be Catholic? Have we researched Catholic Phillips records for my gg-grandparents Peter Phillips and Francis/Mary Lovett-Phillips in Cavan City?

EDWARD PHILLIPS Last week we recorded the death of Mr. PHILLIPS, on Thursday evening, at his residence, Main-street, Cavan. For twelve or eighteen months previous to his decease, Mr. PHILLIPS was unable to leave the house, owing to debility, and occassional fits of weakness superinduced by intemperance. Two nephews and a niece lived with him for many years, conducting his business, and managing his affairs generally during the time, he himself was incapable. They are quiet, industrious young people; and have earned for themselves characters for respectability and integrity which stand above suspicion. These and others, including Dr. BRICE, were present when Mr. PHILLIPS breathed his last. The deceased was reported to have had a good deal of ready money, all of which, it was stated, he had locked up in an iron chest in his bedroom. This was the generally received opinion, but like all opinions based on mere hearsay, appears to have had no foundation. Mr. PHILLIPS had no family of his own, but had a number of relataives, including a half-brother, Patrick PHILLIPS of Clinlarra, near this town, a nephew in Bailieborough, Patrick PHILLIPS, son of Mr. PHILLIPS of Clinlarra, and another nephew in Longford, also Patrick PHILLIPS. The deceased died about five o'clock on Thursday evening, and in an hour or so after, Mr. PHILLIPS of Clinlarra, called upon Mr. C. PHILLIPS, one of the nephews who resided with deceased and demanded the keys of the aforesaid chest, &c. They were at once given him, with the understanding that the box and other trunks should be opened in the presence of witnesses next day. Up to this time there were strangers constantly in the room where this chest was, and after ascertaining that the chest was secure, MR. PHILLIPS went away, taking the keys with him. The corpse was then laid out, and waked for two nights. Next day (Friday) Mr. PHILLIPS returned, and in the prsence of the Right Rev. Doctor BROWNE, Roman Catholic Bishop of this diocese, the supposed treasure-chest was opened, but found to contain nothing save some papers and other things of no value. A strict search was instituted about the premises, but the anticipated guineas were "non est inventi". All parties expressed themselves satisfied, and separated, convinced that the deceased had not the possessions attributed to him by a gossipping public. The body was waked Friday night also, to which there was free acess, and on Saturday it was buried, being attended to its last resting-place by a large and highly respectable funeral. After the usual vulgar gape of astonishment at the poverty of the "old bachelor", the matter was quickly forgotten. ON Monday or Tuesday, however, a letter was served on Head-Constable MOORE of this town calling for an inquest on the body of the deceased, by Mr. Patrick PHILLIPS of Bailieborough. The letter alleged that it was generally rumoured that deceased came to his death by unfair means. The Head-Constable at once intimated the fact to Mr. BERRY, the corner, and on Wednesday Mr. BERRY came to Cavan for the purpose of having the body exhumed and holding an inquest. All the friends of the deceased met the coroner by appoint- ment, save the individual who preferred the charge, and it was found he had left Cavan for Bailieborough on the preceding day, apparently to avoid the inquest he had called. Mr. BERRY asked each of the friends if they supposed any means were used to procure deceased's death. Each of them, including Mr. PHILLIPS of Clinlarra, who is father of the Bailieborough man, and who held the keys and had the box opened, and Mr. PHILLIPS of Longford, protested in the strongest manner against any such supposition. Each and all of them declared they were perfectly satisfied the deceased died a natural death, and that he had always received kind and affectionate treatment from the nephews and niece who resided with him. Mr. C. PHILLIPS and his brother (the nephews referred to) said that as the matter was now buited abroad it would be better proceed with the inquest, to exonerate their characters from any unjust suspicions. They also said it was very unfair for the man who had called for the inquirty to be absent. The conorer condemned this individual's conduct in strong terms, and said from what he had heard he was fully convinced that it was only a waste of public money to proceed with the investigation. On the nephews insisting that the inquest should be proceeded with for sake of their characters, the coroner acceded to their request, and named Monday next as the day, he being then in a bad state of health. The friends of deceased then left the room..... If Mr. PHILLIPS of Bailieboro' supposed his relateive was foully dealt with, why did he not call for the investigation before the man's remains were interred? He had ample time from Thursday to Saturday..For own parts we have not the slightest reason for believing that the deceased was poisoned, or died otherwise then from natural causes....Another subject reamins to be noticed. Why should the county be put to the expense of this farcical inquest. Our burdens are heavy enough without the addition of extras laid on by unthinking men. We venture to assert if Mr. PHILLIPS of Bailieboro' was liable for the expense of this inquest--if it prove to be, what it obviously is--an effusion of spleen, we should never have heard of it. =======================================================

    1. [IRL-CAVAN] ANGLO-CELT - NOVEMBER 17, 1848 - INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT
    2. ANGLO-CELT NOVEMBER 17, 1848 INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, CAVAN William Henry CURRAN, Esq., one of the Commissioners, held a court in this town on Monday last, for the discharge of Insolvent Debtors; and took his seat on the bench, in the Court-house, shortly after ten o'clock. The first insolvent called up to be heard on the matter of the petition was Henry NICHOLSON, and there being no opposition he was discharged. Mr. Edward REILLY of Boagh, near Cootehill, farmer, was called; he was opposed by Mr. John ARMSTRONG, attorney, on behalf of Mr. John ROBERS, of Belturbet, late county cess collector, for the barony of Tullygarvey, who stated that this was an adjourned case. Commissioner--What was this case adjourned for? Mr. ARMSTRONG stated in reply that this case was adjourned at the two former commission at the instance of the insolvent himself. Commissioner--Very well, Mr. ARMSTRONG; what is the nature of your opposition? Mr. ARMSTRONG--That he has property which he has not returned in his schedule. Mr. Samuel SWANZY, Clerk of the Crown, who appeared as attorney for the insolvent, stated to the court, that the insolvent procured the adjournment of his case at the two last commissions, with the view of trying to make an arrangement with Mr. ROGERS, his detaining creditor, as he did not wish to avail himself of the benefit of the Insolvent Act if he could avoid it. The case of the insolvent was this: he unfortunately was induced to join in bills with two persons of the law, and John SMITH of Artona (his brother-in-law), and John SMITH, a publican, residing in Cootehill (cousin-german of James SMITH, who was discharged as an insolvent in June, 1847), who were deputy collectors of county cess under Mr. Rogers, which bills were given to him as a security for the payment of money which they had received and did not pay over to him. Mr. REILLY was arrested and detained in jail for upwards of nine months at the suit of Mr. ROGERS; but James SMITH, and a man of the name of John FOY, of Bunoe (brother-in-law of John SMITH0 who also put his name on said bills, have not been arrested as yet under the execution issued against them for same, and no doubt if they were, they would be obliged to pay at least their proportion of said debt, as they are possessed of considerable property. Your lordship may perceive that poor Mr. REILLY has been made the scapegoat of the SMITHs, who should have paid their own debt to Mr. ROGERS. The insolvent was then placed on the table, and having been sworn, was examined by Mr. ARMSTRONG, and in reply to his interrogatories admitted that he had, in conjunction with a man of the name of Owen REILLY, received £1,000 from the guardians of the Cootehill union, for milk supplied by them as contractors to the workhouse, and that they had sometimes paid more money for the milk they supplied than what they received by the contract for it; had a crop on his farm last harvest, but paid rent and taxes out of it. Commissioner--And Mr. ARMSTRONG you must be aware that he had also to pay for seed and labour. The insolvent was then ordered to be discharged, and that Mr. ROGERS might apply, if he thought proper, to the Insolvent Court in Dublin to be appointed assignee, but that the insolvent would be at liberty to oject to his appointment. THE SMALL DEBT'S ACT Thomas WILTON was opposed by Mr. John ARMSTRONG on behalf of Thomas SMITH. It was an adjourned case. Mr. ARMSTRONG stated that the insolvent became indebted to his client in the sum of £38, to satisfy which, he gave a rent charge for a tenant of hisfor £5 10s. a-year, but which he prevented him from paying to him; and, in addition to that he was possessed of a fee simple property of 22 acres of good land, but nothwithstanding which, he refuses to pay his just debt to his client. Commissioner to Mr. SWANZY, who appeared for the insolvent--What have you to state in reply to the charge against your client? Mr. SWANZY--On consideration of the case, I think it is better to have the petition of the insolvent dismissed, as he can be discharged under the recent act of parliament, which came into operation on the 1st instant, his retainer being under £10. Commissioner--As the insolvent has thought proper to prefer his petition to this court, and not avail himself of the benefit of that act of parliament, as he might have done at any time since the 1st of this month, and procured his discharge from prison, I will proceed with the case, and appoint Thomas SMITH his assignee. Mr. SWANZY--With great rspect, I think your lordship is in point of law bound to dismiss the petition on the application of the insolvent, so that he may avail himself of the benefit of the act of parliament. Commissioner--Mr. SWANZY, I will not do so. Mr. SWANZY--Well, my lord, perhaps you will be so good as to make a note of my objection, as we will bring the case to another tribunal, and it will be necessary to refer to you note of my objection. Commissioner--I will make no note of your objection. The insolvent was then discharged. Peter CLARKE, a most wretched looking wight, who, it appears, was in confinement for twelve months and upwards, and whose addition in his schedule was a farmer, was brought up for adjudication, and there being no opposition entered against he he was discharged. His wretched appearance created a great sensation in court, and what astonished many persons in court was, how he procures the funds (no inconsiderable sum, which the insolvent agents, no doubt required from him), to enable him to file his petition. Henry M'CAULEY out of custody; his petition withdrawn. Owen SMITH, James M'CABE, John LEE, Philip BRADY, Samuel WILTON, Patrick MULHOLLAND, Philip CONLON were discharged without oppostion. Denis M'CABE, Sheriff's Bailiff, adjourned case--Insolvent opposed by Mr. John ARMSTRONG, attorney, on behalf of Terence CONNELL, from whom insolvent held a house. To be discharged, and give up the house to Hugh M'DONNELL, CONNELL's bailiff, in three week's from this day. Thomas MULVANY, farmer, opposed by Mr. S. N. KNIPE, attorney, on behalf of Mr. Samuel GERRARD, the Receiver under the court of Chancery, in the case of HODGES v. James O'REILLY, of Baltrasna. Like rule to give up possession of his land immediately, and his house in one month. James DRINNAN, farmer of Tullyvin, who holds a farm of about five acres of land, was opposed by John TOTTEN, one of his creditors, who applied for a postponement of the case until next commission, in consequence of the absence of Mr. Thomas COCHRANE of Ballyconnel, his attorney. Application refused, and insolvent discharged, and an intimation from the court to TOTTEN, that if he thought proper, he might instruct Mr. COCHRANE to apply to the court in Dublin to have himself appointed the assignee of insolvent. Benjamin STAFFORD, farmer, opposed by MR. GRATTAN, attorney, on behalf of Messrs. GRATTAN and HUDSON, executors of the Rev. Wm. GRATTAN, deceased. Insolvent discharged on giving an under- taking to give up his land immediately, and house in a month. Mr. SWANZY appeared for the insolvent. Michael LARKIN, a supernuated excise officer, was opposed by Mr. John ARMSTRONG, on behalf of Patrick CUSACK, Dorethea GREGG, and George ELLIOTT. Mr. SWANZY appeared on behalf of the insolvent, and stated that the insolvent, who has a pension of £54 per annum, as a superanuated excise officer, was anxious to have the case postponed until next commission, he standing out in the interim on his former bail, so as to enable him to arrange with his opposing creditors. Court--Be it so, and added, that it would strongly recommend the insolvent not to neglect making such arrangement, otherwise, it might be that the court would order his pension to be allocated for the payment of his creditors. Terence FARRELLY, farmer, from the parish of Mullagh, opposed by Messrs. KNIPE and ARMSTRONG on behalf of the Kells branches of Hibernian, and London, and Dublin Banks. After the examination of two witnesses, John FARRELLY, and Joseph DOUGHTY and the insolvent himself was remanded for six months, from the date of investing of the Bank to be at liberty to apply to the court in Dublin to have an assignee appointed. Peter REILLY having been called and not appearing, it was intimated by the governor of the gaol that he was out of custody, having settled with his detaining credior. Michael MULVEY, farmer, was opposed by Mr. KNIPE on behalf of Mr. W. SHERIDAN, receiver under the court of Chancery, in the case of REYNOLDS v. FITZPATRICK, who sought, that ere he would be discharged, he might be obliged to give an undertaking--to give up the possession of his land to the receiving, but, it appearing that the insolvent held the land by lease, he was discharged without being put on terms to give such undertaking. The receiver should be so advised to apply ato the court in Dublin to be appointed assignee. Bernard SHERIDAN, farmer, opposed by Mr. ARMSTRONG on behalf of the Rev. Hammond DAWSON, the landlord. Discharged, on condition of giving up the land to Martin SMITH, of Shraw, Mr. DAWSON's bailiff, on that day month. Andrew CLARKE, farmer, his detaining creditor not served--his return to be dismissed, to enable him to be discharged under the late act, the detainer being under £10. Patrick M'QUAID, farmer, opposed by Mr. John ARMSTRONG on behalf of Margaret HURST--grounds of opposition two-fold--collusive arrest and suppression of property. It appeared that the insolvent resides in the county of Monaghan, where he obtain a sessions decree at the suit of a quillboy of his own, against himself; brought it with him to the town of Cavan, where he himself went to the sub-sheriff, got his warrant to it, and on the same it bore date; walked into gaol. Petition dismissed. Phil SMITH, farmer, opposed by MR. ARMSTRONG on behalf of Mr. John ROGERS, receiver in the causes of SMITH v. REILLY, and REILLY v. SMITH. The insolvent having a lease of his farm; Mr. ROGERS to apply in Dublin to have an assignee appointed. Patrick REILLY, farmer, opposed by Mr. SWANZY on behalf of Constantine O'NEIL, his landlord. Discharged--to give up his farm to opposing creditor in one month. Patrick LYNCH, farmer, opposed by MR. ARMSTRONG, on behalf of Mr. James BENSON, the receiver of insolvent's landlord, but it appearing that he (insolvent) held by lease. He was discharged without being obliged to give an undertaking to surrender his farm -- the receiver to apply to the court in Dublin to have an assignee appointed. Lawrence DOLAN, farmer, opposed by MR. ARMSTRONG on behalf of Mr. Wm. Armitage MOORE, agent of Lord Annesley. Discharged-- to give up his land in one month to Thomas REILLY, his lordship's bailiff. Charles CLARKE, farmer, opposed by MR. SWANZY on behalf of Mrs. Margaret DOUGHTY, his landlady, on the grounds of vexatious litigation, he having driven her to the expense of a Record, which cost between £60 and £70, to receive her rent. Remanded for six months, from the date of his investing order at the suit of Mrs. DOUGHTY. As the proceedings to be adopted to obtain possession of the house or land, in pursuance of the undertaking given by the insolvent, may not be generally known to parties interested, it may be well to state it for their information. The landlord or his law agent must take out a copy of hearing, serve a copy of it on the insolvent, at or before the time the demand for possession is made; and, on refusal, an affidavit of the service of the notes of hearing, the demand and refusal of posses- sion must be made, filed, and an attested copy of it taken out to ground an application for a conditional order for an attachment against the insolvent, which must also be served on him, and an affidavit of the service also made, ere it can issue, which proceeding is much more expensive than that attending the obtaining of an Ejectment Decree. =================================================== County Cavan Newspaper Transcription Project

Assistant Surgeon WOODMAN, and Cornet SMITH of the 13th Light Dragoons, quartered here, were out shooting--the latter amiable young gentleman had his hand fearfully mutilated; unfortunately he had put on the cap, and while, in the act of loading, one of the barrels of his detonator exploded. Besides the shattering of his hand, he, otherwise, received injury about the face and ear; but, we are happy to state, not of a serious nature. The combined skill of his brother officer and Dr. WADE was promptly exercised to alleviate his pain, and save the hand, if possible; but we regret to add that, apprehending lock-jaw, they found it necessary to amputate the fore and middle fingers. The lamentable occurrence has caused the deepest regret and sympathy among all the inhabit- ants of Belturbet. We trust, however, the unhappy circumstance will serve as a salutary caution to sportsmen. HIGHWAY ROBBERY--It becomes our duty to record an outrage of this description, which, coupled with recent events, is somewhat significant of the disorganization that is silently but steadily gaining ground in this county. On Monday morning, between the hours of ten and eleven o'clock, a man named ARMSTRONG, in the employ of Mr. John ARMSTRONG, Newbliss near Clones, was robbed on the high- road, within half mile of Ballyhaise of the sum of £80. It appears ARMSTRONG was after receiving the money as payment of grain sold at the Ballyhaise mills, and had only got a short distance on his way home when two fellows stopped him, presenting pistols at his head. One of them tore open ARMSTRONG's vest and took out the money out of an inside pocket; the robbers then decamped. They ran first into Carrickmore Plantation, the property of William HUMPHREYS, Esq.; from that they were seen go over Camp Hill, in the direction of Ballinacargy. A few monents before the robbery, a little boy on the road saw three men behind the hedge. Two of them jumped out on the road, and stopping ARMSTRONG, who was advancing towards them, committed the robbery as before stated. While they were thus engaged the third man peeped over the hedge, and kept watch; he then went to his own house. This individual has been identified by the boy, and lodged in Cavan gaol; his name is Paul CARROLL. The other two, whose names are unknown, have escaped. ROBBERY--Three pigs, value about £12, the property of John RADCLIFFE, Esq., of Willmount, were stolen from his premises on the night of Tuesday last, and were found in the possession of a strolling young beggarman, named James CASSERLY (commonly called Lily of the Valley), near Mullagh, in this county, by the police, about the hour of four o'clock on the morning of Wednesday last, and fully committed for trial. ==================================================== THE LATE REV. EUGENE M'QUAID The anniversary of the death of the Rev. Eugene M'QUAID, late Roman Catholic Curate of Cavan, was celebrated in the church of Kilsherdany, on Thursday, the 9th inst. The venerable Bishop of the diocese and a large number of his clergy were in attendance. ==================================================== BIRTHS On the 14th instant, at 1, Ely-place, the lady of John ATKINSON, Esq., of a daughter. In Hull, Mrs.George COFTON, of three fine living children, who, with the mother are doing well. __________________________________________________________ MARRIAGES On the 6th instant, at Swords, by the Rev. JOhn CAREY, P.P., Elizabeth Teresa DAVIS, only daughter of the late Mr. Samuel DAVIS of Malahide, to Mr. John CAHILL, of the same place. On the 8th instant, in Clonmary Church, Nicholas John, eldest son of the Rev. N. J. HALPIN, of Seville-place, Dublin, to Rebecca, youngest daughter of Michael DOHERTY, Esq., of Glen House, county Donegal. ___________________________________________________________ DEATHS On the 13th instant, Mrs. Anne CONRY, aged 75, relict of John CONRY, formerly of 20, Upper Ormond-quay, regretted by a numerous circle of friends. On the 11th instant, at De Vesci Terrace, Kingstown, Anne, wife of Robert WHITE, Esq., late of Old Park in the Queen's County. ==================================================== DESPERATE ATTEMPT AT ASSASSINATION.--This morning our town was thrown into considerable excitement in consequence of the reported attempt to assassinate W. H. DANIEL, Esq., J. P., of Halston, in this county, on his way to the market of this town. We lost not a moment in dispatching our reporter to the scene of outrage, where he learned the following particulars:--This morning, (Saturday,) at eight o'clock, Mr. DANIEL left his residence at Halston, in his gig, for Athlone, and when about midway, and within a few perches of the residence of Mr. Robert JONES of Kilcornan, he was fired at from behind a hedge, where it appears two men lay in concealment, with the intention of depriving Mr. DANIEL of his life. The shot took effect in his left shoulder. When the arm dropped, Mr. DANIEL, with great presence of mind, immediately seized the reins with the right hand, and drove on as speedily as possible, when a second shot was fired, but fortunately it passed harmlessly over the unfortunate victim's head. Mr. D. arrived at the cottage Glasson, the residence of Nathaniel FALLON, Esq., sub-inspector, where his wounds were dressed by Dr. FALLON, who extracted five balls from the shoulder, which is much lacrated; but there is reason to believe that no unpleasant consequences will arise from the wounds. Sub-inspector FALLON immediately called out the police of the Glasson station, with whom he is at this moment scouring the country in search of the diabolical ruffians.-- Westmeath Independent. _____________________________________________________________ County Cavan Newspaper Transcription Project

PHILLIPS and his brother (the nephews referred to) said that as the matter was now buited abroad it would be better proceed with the inquest, to exonerate their characters from any unjust suspicions. They also said it was very unfair for the man who had called for the inquirty to be absent. The conorer condemned this individual's conduct in strong terms, and said from what he had heard he was fully convinced that it was only a waste of public money to proceed with the investigation. On the nephews insisting that the inquest should be proceeded with for sake of their characters, the coroner acceded to their request, and named Monday next as the day, he being then in a bad state of health. The friends of deceased then left the room..... If Mr. PHILLIPS of Bailieboro' supposed his relateive was foully dealt with, why did he not call for the investigation before the man's remains were interred? He had ample time from Thursday to Saturday..For own parts we have not the slightest reason for believing that the deceased was poisoned, or died otherwise then from natural causes....Another subject reamins to be noticed. Why should the county be put to the expense of this farcical inquest. Our burdens are heavy enough without the addition of extras laid on by unthinking men. We venture to assert if Mr. PHILLIPS of Bailieboro' was liable for the expense of this inquest--if it prove to be, what it obviously is--an effusion of spleen, we should never have heard of it. ======================================================= BELTURBET, Nov. 16, 1848--A most distressing accident occurred near this town on yesterday. Assistant Surgeon WOODMAN, and Cornet SMITH of the 13th Light Dragoons, quartered here, were out shooting--the latter amiable young gentleman had his hand fearfully mutilated; unfortunately he had put on the cap, and while, in the act of loading, one of the barrels of his detonator exploded. Besides the shattering of his hand, he, otherwise, received injury about the face and ear; but, we are happy to state, not of a serious nature. The combined skill of his brother officer and Dr. WADE was promptly exercised to alleviate his pain, and save the hand, if possible; but we regret to add that, apprehending lock-jaw, they found it necessary to amputate the fore and middle fingers. The lamentable occurrence has caused the deepest regret and sympathy among all the inhabit- ants of Belturbet. We trust, however, the unhappy circumstance will serve as a salutary caution to sportsmen. HIGHWAY ROBBERY--It becomes our duty to record an outrage of this description, which, coupled with recent events, is somewhat significant of the disorganization that is silently but steadily gaining ground in this county. On Monday morning, between the hours of ten and eleven o'clock, a man named ARMSTRONG, in the employ of Mr. John ARMSTRONG, Newbliss near Clones, was robbed on the high- road, within half mile of Ballyhaise of the sum of £80. It appears ARMSTRONG was after receiving the money as payment of grain sold at the Ballyhaise mills, and had only got a short distance on his way home when two fellows stopped him, presenting pistols at his head. One of them tore open ARMSTRONG's vest and took out the money out of an inside pocket; the robbers then decamped. They ran first into Carrickmore Plantation, the property of William HUMPHREYS, Esq.; from that they were seen go over Camp Hill, in the direction of Ballinacargy. A few monents before the robbery, a little boy on the road saw three men behind the hedge. Two of them jumped out on the road, and stopping ARMSTRONG, who was advancing towards them, committed the robbery as before stated. While they were thus engaged the third man peeped over the hedge, and kept watch; he then went to his own house. This individual has been identified by the boy, and lodged in Cavan gaol; his name is Paul CARROLL. The other two, whose names are unknown, have escaped. ROBBERY--Three pigs, value about £12, the property of John RADCLIFFE, Esq., of Willmount, were stolen from his premises on the night of Tuesday last, and were found in the possession of a strolling young beggarman, named James CASSERLY (commonly called Lily of the Valley), near Mullagh, in this county, by the police, about the hour of four o'clock on the morning of Wednesday last, and fully committed for trial. ==================================================== THE LATE REV. EUGENE M'QUAID The anniversary of the death of the Rev. Eugene M'QUAID, late Roman Catholic Curate of Cavan, was celebrated in the church of Kilsherdany, on Thursday, the 9th inst. The venerable Bishop of the diocese and a large number of his clergy were in attendance. ==================================================== BIRTHS On the 14th instant, at 1, Ely-place, the lady of John ATKINSON, Esq., of a daughter. In Hull, Mrs.George COFTON, of three fine living children, who, with the mother are doing well. __________________________________________________________ MARRIAGES On the 6th instant, at Swords, by the Rev. JOhn CAREY, P.P., Elizabeth Teresa DAVIS, only daughter of the late Mr. Samuel DAVIS of Malahide, to Mr. John CAHILL, of the same place. On the 8th instant, in Clonmary Church, Nicholas John, eldest son of the Rev. N. J. HALPIN, of Seville-place, Dublin, to Rebecca, youngest daughter of Michael DOHERTY, Esq., of Glen House, county Donegal. ___________________________________________________________ DEATHS On the 13th instant, Mrs. Anne CONRY, aged 75, relict of John CONRY, formerly of 20, Upper Ormond-quay, regretted by a numerous circle of friends. On the 11th instant, at De Vesci Terrace, Kingstown, Anne, wife of Robert WHITE, Esq., late of Old Park in the Queen's County. ==================================================== DESPERATE ATTEMPT AT ASSASSINATION.--This morning our town was thrown into considerable excitement in consequence of the reported attempt to assassinate W. H. DANIEL, Esq., J. P., of Halston, in this county, on his way to the market of this town. We lost not a moment in dispatching our reporter to the scene of outrage, where he learned the following particulars:--This morning, (Saturday,) at eight o'clock, Mr. DANIEL left his residence at Halston, in his gig, for Athlone, and when about midway, and within a few perches of the residence of Mr. Robert JONES of Kilcornan, he was fired at from behind a hedge, where it appears two men lay in concealment, with the intention of depriving Mr. DANIEL of his life. The shot took effect in his left shoulder. When the arm dropped, Mr. DANIEL, with great presence of mind, immediately seized the reins with the right hand, and drove on as speedily as possible, when a second shot was fired, but fortunately it passed harmlessly over the unfortunate victim's head. Mr. D. arrived at the cottage Glasson, the residence of Nathaniel FALLON, Esq., sub-inspector, where his wounds were dressed by Dr. FALLON, who extracted five balls from the shoulder, which is much lacrated; but there is reason to believe that no unpleasant consequences will arise from the wounds. Sub-inspector FALLON immediately called out the police of the Glasson station, with whom he is at this moment scouring the country in search of the diabolical ruffians.-- Westmeath Independent. _____________________________________________________________ County Cavan Newspaper Transcription Project

On Monday last the following members of the board met for the purpose of electing a new board for the next three years. CHARLES HALPIN, Esq., M.D., in the Chair. Other members present - Mathew TULLY, Esq., E. M'GAURAN, Esq., P. FAY, Esq., J. KELLY, Esq., S. SWANZY, Esq., W. HEAGUE, Esq., J. PARKER, Esq., J. M'GAURAN, Esq., a. KETTYLE, Esq., P. BRADY, Esq., and J. CLEMENGER, Esq. On commissioner examining the collector's arrear sheet, they found a number of the ratepayers in default. The collector was then ordered to take proper steps to recover the arrears. The Chairman then called on Mr. TULLY (solicitor to the commissioners) for the precept for the election, when the following gentlemen were proposed and seconded:- Robert ERSKINE, Esq., Theophilus THOMPSON, Esq., James FAY, Esq., Mathew TULLY, Esq., S. SWANZY, Esq., Bernard COYNE, Esq., M. D., James ARMSTRONG, Esq., Patrick FAY, Esq., Wm. MOORE, Esq., James M'GAURAN, Esq., Wm. HEAGUE, Esq., E. KENNEDY, Esq., John CLEMENGER, Esq., James PARKER, Esq., Peter BRADY, Esq., James KELLY, Esq., A. KETTYLE, Esq., James REILY, Esq., James O'BRIEN, Esq., M. LOUGH, Esq., T. W. MATTHEWS, Esq. After the election was over, the clerk (Mr. Edward SMITH ) asked the chairman what day the new commissioners would be sworn in upon; the clerk also informed the chairman that there should be an advertisement published three times in some newspapers, according to the act of Parliament. The Chairman asked could there be time to have three insertions published in the Anglo-Celt newspaper before the time mentioned. The Clark said they should be sworn in in fourteen days after the election, and the Anglo-Celt was published but once a week, so that there could not be time to have three insertions published. Some of the commissioners thought that two insertions might do, and to have it published in the Anglo-Celt. The Chairman said it would be better to comply with the Act and not to be running risks. The clerk was then ordered to have three insertions published in the Newry Telegraph. The board then adjourned. (The Commissioners, in not publishing the advertisement in this journal are acting contrary to the letter and spirit of the act, which expressly secies (sic) that the advertisement must appear in the local paper. It could have been published once or twice in this journal, and the remainder of the times in any other paper published in an adjoining county. - Ed. C.A.) CAVAN UNION - Tuesday, July 5. The board of guardians of this union met to-day at their usual hour. WM. SMITH, Esq., J.P., in the chair. Other guardians present - Robert BURROWES, J.P., Thos. JOHNSTON, J.P., G. H. ESTRANGE, J.P., J. E. VERNON, J.P., J. NAYLOR, Wm. FOSTER, jun., J. ROGERS, Thos. HARTLEY, James M'CAFFREY, E. REA, James DONNELLY, O. DONEGAN, H. FARIS, J. SHERIDAN, G. W. BELL, Wm. PRATT, Esqs. The chairman read a communication from Daniel LEDDY to say that he had seized on the fixture and bottles of the dispensary by order of the landlord, Mr. FITZPATRICK, for the sum of five pounds due for rent. Mr. BURROWES said if the house was occupied by them (the guardians) they had a right to pay the rent. Chairmen - We have not occupied the house. The clerk said Dr. COYNE occupied it since he was appointed to be the dispensary doctor. Chairman - If Dr. COYNE wishes to occupy every house in town that is no reason why we should pay for them. Some of the guardians wished to know if the goods seized upon was worth £5. Mr. M'GAURAN - I was told what was in the house was not worth a shilling. The chairman recommended the guardians not to interfere, but allow the things to be sold and to provide others in their place. This rule was adopted. The chairman wished to know what was going to be cone with the securities of FITZPATRICK, the late collector. Mr. KELLY, the person that was appointed to collect the arrears, came before the board to explain how the uncollected rate stood, which did not appear quite satisfactory. Mr. VERNON then moved that the securities be written to come forward and pay in the amount that FITZPATRICK was in default, and if they did not comply with this notice that the solicitors be written to take legal proceedings without any further delay. Mr. DONEGAN - I think they should get a little time longer before legal proceedings would be taken, it being a great hardship for them to have to pay another man's debt, together with law costs also. Mr. ROGERS - If Mr. Bernard FITZPATRICK, one of the securities, comes forward and pays his half, will the board protect him from the law costs. Mr. VERNON - I am quite sure Mr. FITZPATRICK is a very honest man, and would pay his part, but the law does not provide for that. The board must sue both securities. Mr. ROGERS - I never would have interfered in the matter at all were it not that I knew Mr. FITZPATRICK's intention to act honourable and pay his half of the debt, wherein the other security could not be got to acknowledge the payment of any part of it at all. Mr. VERNON asked why Mr. KELLY did not serve notices on the parties in default. Mr. KELLY - I would have done so but there could be nothing got from them, and it would be only putting the securities to additional expense; but if the guardians will allow time enough to have notices served on the landlords and agents, I have no doubt I will be able to get some of it. Several of the guardians said it was a great hardship for Mr. Fitzpatrick to be put to additional expense. The chairman and Mr. VERNON said it would be well for Mr. Fitzpatrick to pay in his part; however, in the mean time, the motion should be adopted. After the admission of some paupers the board adjourned. BOROUGH OF BELTURBET.

    3. I viewed these films at Totara Park in Upper Hutt but it was at least 7 years ago and have no idea whether they were holding them after my order. All I can suggest is that you ring the Dunedin LDS and ask if they have them on permanent loan.
