It appears from the evidence adduced at the coroner's inquest that the girl, with her mother, was returning from Sunday School, and was about to pass over a plank laid across a stream where a bridge is being erected. The mother crossed over, and, the girl being timorous, the boy who was on the far side went over to meet her and take her hand. The plank, being a fourteen-foot one, had a spring in the centre, and the girl became nervous when she got so far, while the boy, who wished to encourage her, commenced swaying to and fro upon it. She grasped at him and lost her balance' he caught at her and was dragged into the stream, which was rapid in the place. Though there were only two feet of water in the spot both lost their lives, having been carried away by the stream into a depth of four feet, which was at hand. The! frantic mother rushed to save her child, but was withheld from immediate destruction by some persons standing near. A man named KEOGHEY, who was present, made every effort to save one or both but unfortunately without success. What makes the think more melancholy is that a pass across which horses could be brought was not more than five or six perches distant from the plank. Wishing to save the journey to it, two lives were lost. ____________________________________________________________ GALLAGHER IN CAVAN.-- Is not the heading enough? Need we invite our readers to attend upon him tomorrow evening, when he is to take from the budget of his inimitably drollery for their amusement? It is a long time since we had him before in Cavan, but we are all old enough to remember how he amused us when we had him last; and those who never heard him, know him by his fame, which is world-wide. Mr. Gallagher may be expected in Mullingar in the course of a few days. __________________________________________________________ THE MILITIA.-- There is no word of the removal of this force as yet, and it may be hoped that they will be left to winter here. The General of the district is to be here on tomorrow (Friday) to inspect them. __________________________________________________________ HORRIBLE OUTRAGE.-- As Miss Charlotte Hinds of Tubberlion Duffin, near Ballyconnell, in this county, was coming home on a jaunting car, from the market of that town, on Friday the 12th inst., she was set upon by two ruffians, in the avenue leading to her own house, and after being severely beaten on the head with sticks, and her thumb, forefinger and wrist being broken, as she put up her hand to save herself, two pistol bullets were lodged in her skull. She was living when the last account reached us, but her medical attendants declare that her recover is hopeless. At intervals she has been insensible, but she was able to swear against, at least one of the two villains, named Pat. BANNON, a deserter, we have heard, from the Cavan Militia. The servant who drove her, however, declares that the parties are completely unknown to him. The perpetrators, whoever they were, are as yet at large, though the Lord Lieutenant has offered a reward of £100 for an arrest, payable on con! viction. Everything goes ... now that the dreadful offence had an agrarian........... Miss Hinds dispossessed some parties in ........ to manage their farms herself, and she had ....... under ejectments pending for the coming sessions. She was warned that her life would be taken, more than a; year ago, and had damages off the county for salacious burning of some property of hers, at last spring (?) assizes for this county. But there is no reason whatever for connecting the rest of our population with the atrocious act' everywhere it was heard of with feelings of unmitigated horror, not with those of exultation, as some correspondents of the Dublin ........ with a malice hardly less than that of the ............ in heart, and we fear, in act, have written...... Surely a county is not to be stigmatized because it retains(?) black-guards. Does this need proof? One veracious fellow states that it is publicly known that murders by wholesale are to be perpetrated this.....! ..... We utterly deny that such a thing is public.............. talked of. Another statesman in embryo recommends to the government to take the collection of rents into their hands and to eject every soul off the .......... where a murder has been committed! Poor fellow! IT is to be feared that his madness is a ............... one. To find the guilty punish the innocent; of course they could not prove for themselves their non-complicity, nor can another do this for them since they might be connected with the matter unknown to every one in the kingdom. What, if a murder was committed in a townland wholly in the hands of the landlord, should he be ejected out of his fee-simple. The character of a newspaper, in which such idiosyncrasies are inserted without repudiation, stands wonderfully committed. Let every energy be employed in find out the perpetrators, but, for every sake, let no ........... be paid to the diplomacy of the madhouse. _______________________________ CAVAN UNION TO BE SOLD BY AUCTION ON SATURDAY, the 25th instant, at TWELVE O'CLOCK, A Large Quantity of EXCELLENT MANGEL WURTZEL, BY THE TON, On the Workhouse Premises. By Order, BLAYNEY GRIER, Clerk of the Union. Board Room, 16th Oct. 1855. _______________________________ OBITUARY. It grieves us deeply that we have to record this day the death of John Baptist SMITH, Esq., Barrister-at-Law, of 4, Garden Court, Temple, London. The melancholy event took place at the residence of his brother, Philip SMYTH, Esq. (transcriber's note - the two spellings of SMITH/SMYTH are exactly as they were in the newspaper), Carrickvilla, Stradone, at three o'clock on Wednesday, the 10th instant, and is as much deplored by all, who knew the deceased, as it was untimely, he being yet in the very prime of life, having only attained his 27th year. Mr. SMYTH was a member of the English Bar, and during the few years of his forensic career gave ample proof of the possession of powers, which must have distinguished him in after life. Alas, they are now extinguished, but such is life -- young hopes blasted, young promise unfulfilled. Living in England, he was to the heart's core an Irishman, and in him his country has lost a true, devoted and most eloquent son. A feeling of u! niversal sorrow prevailed throughout the neighborhood where he died, from the hour of his death to that of his interment, and he was accompanied to his last resting place on Friday by as large and respectable an assemblage as ever met in the county on a similar occasion. If genuine and largely expressed sympathy with them in their distress could console his afflicted relatives, they have had and still have consolation, indeed. _______________________________________________ County Cavan Newspapers Transcription Project

Hello all, After a search on the Ancestry.com site I came up with a couple of possibles in their records. As I don't have a credit card and am unlikely to need their services again I was hoping someone who has membership to the site may be able to do a look up for me. Surname CONDELON This name appears in the Kentucky Census 1810-90 record. There were 2 matches. This name appears also in the 1830 United States Federal Census. 1 match. And In the New Oreleans, Louisana Death Records Index 1804 - 1949. 1 match. This name is very rare. I have not been able to find very much info on it. Therefore, any help is much appreciated.

My g-g-grandparents were James McCann and Catherine Gibney, who were married in Castlepollard in 1859. I believe that James' parents were Thomas McCann and Catherine Lynch since only one James McCann was baptized in St. Michael's in Castlepollard during the likely years of his birth, though I cannot prove that parentage. There are no other records or mentionings of this couple except as the parents of a James and five other children, all baptized in that parish. Catherine Gibney's parents were Bryan Gibney and Bridget Ledwidge, married in that same church in 1829. I have no clue as to the parentage of Bridget Ledwidge. Bryan's parents were most likely Phillip Gibney and Bridget McDaniel, married there in 1795, also in that parish. Since Castlepollard Catholic parish is so close to adjacent Co. Cavan parishes and Co. Meath parishes, I am wondering whether anyone might have connections to these McCann's, Lynch's, McDaniel's, Gibney's or Ledwidge's in Co. Cavan parishes. Thank you. -- Patrick J. McCann, Jr. Dallas, TX CRESCIT SUB PONDERE VIRTUS

Searching for Baptism & Marriage Church records, probably C of I. My great-great-grandmother Francis (Mary) Lovett married a Peter Phillips. She emigrated without Peter in 1851 to NYC with daughters Brid/Delia age 4 (my great-grandmother) and Mary 6. All my unsuccessful many years research points to Lovett's near Belturbit.

Hello listers, This may be the appropriate time to mention other surnames. Recently a group of fellow Coyle researchers and I have been working on transcriptions of Parish Registers in Co.Cavan. Although the efforts are aimed at only a few families, Coyle,Sheridan,and Lynch, there are a host of other surnames connected to these families. I invite everyone to take a look at these pages, you might find reference to a surname you are seeking. Many are associated by marriage and others are listed as witnesses or sponsors. These pages may be viewed on a website put together for RAW DATA. Again the efforts and the site were aimed at only a few surnames but many others are connected. The site itself was constructed for the Coyle surname however the transcriptions themselves reflect the searchs done by other researchers and their connections to many families in Co.Cavan. I wish you all luck in finding something and please let me know if you have any trouble with any pages on the site. Here is the link; http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~coyleclan/Rawdata/ Records Extractions , Births, Baptismals, Marriages and so on list many other surnames. Happy Days Joe Coyle

"The Anglo Celt" Cavan; Thursday, September 25, 1856 REJOICINGS AT SHERCOCK (From a Correspondent) On the night of Saturday, the 20th instant, a popular demonstration came off at Shinan House, the seat of the youthful proprietor, Benjamin S. ADAMS, Esq., J.P., on the occasion of his arrival home with his lovely and accomplished bride. The truly well merited popularity of the young gentleman's lamented father, Charles James Adams, Esq., and his own urbane and condescending demeanour since his return from the army, caused great numbers to flock from all sides to testify their good wishes towards him and congratulate him on this joyous occasion, and the crowds would have been increased five-fold if the country could have an earlier knowledge of his arrival, which did not become known until seven o'clock that evening, when, immediately the beacon fairest were lighted, and spontaneous crowds came rushing in from all sides to swell the merry throng now congregated round an immense bonfire, erected on the lawn, by whose fitful light the merry swain, with her he loved, tripped it on the green sward on the light fantastic toe. Refreshments having been now served out abundantly, and to spare, the young gentleman and his amiable and beautiful bride made their appearance, when they were greeted with a round of cheers, which made the welkin ring. Mr. Adams then, in a neat and effective speech, full of Irish feeling and good nature, addressed the vast crowd, and thanked them for the spontaneous manifestation of their good wishes towards himself. It would be impossible for words to convey any idea of the enthusiasm on this occasion - as cheer was overlaid with cheer for upwards of fifteen minutes after he ceased to speak. The town of Shercock (with a few exceptions) was beautifully illuminated, and the flood of light which was reflected from the glare of a thousand candles, served as a brilliant contrast to the surrounding darkness. Thus the town seemed to vie with the country in paying a tribute of well-earned respect to the worthy son of a respected father, whose honourable, impartial, and humane conduct through life has earned for him the grateful recollections of all who knew him, and whose life might serve as a model worthy of imitation. CAVAN PETTY SESSIONS - Monday, Sept. 22 Magistrates present - Theophilus THOMPSON, J.P., Wm. M. HICKSON, R.M., Robert ERSKINE, J.P., Esqs. The retailers of whiskey in the Cavan Petty Sessions district applied for certificates to entitle them to a continuance of their licenses, under the 17 & 18 Victoria, and the police from the different stations were in attendance to pronounce upon the fitness or unfitness of the different applicants. Sergeant BRENNAN of Stradone objected to Patrick FITZPATRICK of Knockanorke, as one, who had been twice fined for irregularities in the keeping of his house, and upon another occasion had refused admittance to the police for some time. The policeman stated that the house was since kept most regularly. Fitzpatrick was ordered to attend to show cause why he should get a certificate. (There appeared to be a kind of hardship in this case, why was Fitzpatrick singled out as an exception, whereas every other one was let off without a question? Besides, under the old act 3 & 4 William IV., three convictions for irregularity within six months are necessary to take away a license, and here there were only two convictions, and an attempt to make a third within seven months, from December to July. It is true that the magistrates have an arbitrary power in the case, but we question whether it is right that they should exercise it to the letter in the case of a penal statute.) WOODS V. MULLEN A charge of assaulting the complainant and cutting off three of his fingers. It appears from Mr. E. M'GAURAN statement that the complement went to serve a summons on one HENDERSON to appear as a witness in a petty sessions case, and when he came to the place he found the defendant working in a field. He then laid down the summons, and defendant, who was reaping, attached him with the hook and cut off three of his fingers. Complainant was brought into Cavan, a distance of three miles and fainted thrice on the road, his course being easily traceable by the quantity of blood that flowed from the wound. Mr. HICKSON questioned whether Mr. M'Gauran should leave the case to the Magistrates, as they had not powear (sp) to give him compensation enough. Mr. M'Gauran said that this was his own opinion, and he trusted to be able to make the defendant pay well by another process. The whole matter arose out of a complaint made by the wife of Woods, that she was assaulted by Henderson, a servant man of Mullen's. He charged her with throwing ashes in a bucket of water, he was carrying, and discharged a spittle at him, upon which he remonstrated with her, when she threw a bucket of water at him, she alleged that he called her "out of her name," whereupon she denied that she could be called so, then she admitted that she threw the bucket of water at him, and called him a ruffian. He pulled a stone out of his breast and strucd (sp) her with it. The case of the man for the cutting off of his fingers was withdrawn. Henderson was fined 10s. and 10s. costs for his assault on Mrs. Woods, and his charge against the woman was dismissed. MRS. JANE MOORE, WIFE OF WM. A. MOORE, ESQ., LAND AGENT OF LORD ANNESLEY V. ELLEN MAGUIRE The defendants sister pleaded the absence of the defendant, and that she could not be present this day. The magistrates said this was no reasonable or sufficient cause; the summons was personally served. The case then proceeded. It was a charge of detaining goods given to the defendant to embroider by Mrs. MOORE; the materials for a pair of sleeves and a collar were the articles. Mrs. Moored (sp) proved that she gave out the materials which were to be returned in a few days but were detained for the last six weeks. The collar was cut as a pattern, and the defendant was paid for all. The defendants sister said that Mrs. Moore did not pay all, but detained one and seven pence halfpenny of hard earned money from her. Mr. (sp) Moore said he wished to explain. The magistrates replied that there was no occasion as the defendant had her proper remedy, if she was aggrieved. Mrs. Moore further stated that she paid 5s. 6d. for the material of the sleeves, and gave 1s. 6d. for the working them; she had also paid six pence for the material of the collar and one and four pence for working it. The bench ruled that the complainant should pay 7s. 6d for compensation for the goods and 10s for fine or to be imprisoned for a fortnight. The sister asked to get until this day fortnight when she would undertake to return all the goods. Mr. (sp) Moore said that she got several opportunities to return the work and omitted doing so. The magistrates said the fine and compensation would be recorded at any rate. Mr. Moore, at the magistrates instance, said if the work was returned within a week he would not press for the warrant.

The court-martial of seventy five prisoners in Killala and forty in Ballina opened the day after the massacre at Killala. Bishop Stock, in his narrative tells us: "The court-martials took place in the house of Owen Morrison, a Protestant merchant. Their proceedings at first appeared extremely slow considering the multitudes. They had to try seventy five at Killala and one hundred and ten at Ballina besides those that might be brought in daily. "The first two tried at this tribunal were General Belew and Colonel Richard Bourke. The trial of these two criminals was short, they were found guilty on Monday evening and hanged the next morning in the park behind the Castle, they fell without exciting a sentiment of compassion". The bishop also states in his narrative, "the week that followed the battle was employed in court-martials in the morning and in most, crowded dinners at the Castle in the evening. A whole bullock went in two days, as the bishop had not less that forty people to feed". There seem to be no records of the number of people executed, if there was, they were concealed and probably destroyed later, but we can assume from the bishop's statements above, that the number was quite large. A document in the English State Paper office tells how Denis Mutell and Edward Carrol were sentenced to death. one "for making leaden bullets for the French and rebels" the other "for fighting against His Majesty's forces at Colooney and Killala". Another official record states that at the same time Thomas Carroll, fisherman, found guilty of joining the French and carrying arms at Killala and Daniel Scanlon, a deserter from the Longford militia, were both executed on a tree at Green Park. Dr Patrick Barrett, father of Colonel Patrick Barrett was a native of Erris in Mayo, he studied medicine in Edinburgh where he qualified as a doctor. He returned home and settled in Ballina, in a two storey house opposite the present Bartra House Hotel in Lower Pearse Street where he built up and extensive practise. He was not involved in the military side of the insurrection, although he persuaded his son Patrick, an officer in the local yeomanry to join the Franco-Irish army. He continued to practise openly for a few months after the insurrection and was finally arrested and brought to Castlebar to be court-martialled. The charges against him were that he gave advice to French officers, signed a passport in the name of his son and that he was making bullets for use against the English forces. It is believed that Colonel King, the local military leader who also lived in Pearse Street and Neligan, the parson, falsified the evidence against Dr Barrett. Tradition alleges that they paid a tinsmith of ill-repute named Maxwell, from Ardnaree, to swear at the trial that he was employed by the doctor to run bullets for the rebels. Dr Barrett was found guilty on this unacceptable evidence, that no fair-minded court or tribunal could possibly entertain. He was returned to Ballina to be executed the following day. The doctor got a message to a close friend of his, Jack O'Dowd, a merchant in the town, and expressed the wish that O'Dowd's own hands would take his body down from the tree and that it would be buried in consecrated ground. Next day he was taken across the river to the Fairgreen in Arnaree, where the Ridgepool complex is now situated. The scaffold was ready. Two priests stood to one side reciting prayers. The rope was placed around his neck, and in a few minutes his lifeless body was dangling at the end of it. O'Dowd took down the body and had him buried at the old Abbey in Ardnaree. Another Ballina doctor, Thomas O'Brien was executed at Castlebar at the same time as Dr Barrett. The charge against him was one of 'accepting a military commission from the French and acting as surgeon for the rebels and French whilst at Castlebar'. The rebels' spirit was not completely broken after the carnage at Killala. A namesake and relation of Ferdinand O'Donnell had gathered a body of men around him, and adopting guerrilla type tactics made nightly raids on Trench's encampment around Killala causing casualties, and seizing sentries and horses, they then faded back into the night from whence they had come. Trench sent companies of soldiers into the Laggan area and Erris to apprehend them, but when they were seen coming, O'Donnell's men retreated to selected hiding places and the only achievement the soldiers could accomplish was the burning of cabins. In the village of Knockaun beside Downpatrick Head there is a big circular hole, one hundred feet deep, it is connected to the ocean by a tunnel. The water below rises and falls with the tide. It is called Pollnashanthana, and at the bottom there is a ledge of rock bare when the tide is out. The men of Knocaun and Killeen were working in the cornfields which were neglected during their absence with Humbert's forces. In the middle of their work a messenger arrived with the news that he had spotted a column of English soldiers from a high hill in vicinity approaching at a distance. They had no time to get to the mountains and probably they would be seen moving in that direction. They made a quick decision, they would descent to the bottom of Pollnashanthana. They brought a coil of rope and enlisted the help of an active young woman. One end of the rope was tied to a tree, the other end was dropped down to the bottom of the chasm. Thirty men slid down the rope and reached the ledge below. The woman was to haul up the rope, untie it, and take it to a hiding place. The soldiers burned some cabins and started discharging their muskets. This frightened the young woman who fled under cover to the nearby hills and went into hiding. The soldiers stayed in the area for many hours and after they left it took the woman a long time to leave her hiding place and come back to the village, where she met a local man, who was away when the soldiers arrived, she told her neighbour what had happened. In the meantime the tide has risen and engulfed the men on the ledge below. When the man and woman collected the rope, tied it, went to the edge and looked down, they saw the bodies floating far below.

ANGLO CELT -- September 20, 1855 CAVAN MILITIA - PRESENTATION OF COLOURS. Tuesday last, the 18th instant, being the day appointed for presenting their new colours to the force, lately organised in this county, the ceremony came off on that day. The morning was most propitious, and at an early hour this town was thronged with carriages and other conveyances which were after bringing their quota to the scene of general interest. It wads market-day also, and the persons who came in to do their necessary business largely swelled the gathering. At three o'clock, P.M., the event was to come off, and by that hour the streets were literally deserted, those who had crowded them a short time before having betaken themselves to the place, where the militia, under arms, were waiting to receive the honour which was to be conferred upon them. They stood ranged in a large field, belonging to Theophilus THOMPSON, Esq., J.P., the use of which that gentleman kindly gave for the occasion. No spot could have been better adapted for the purpose, situated as it wa! s between two leading roads from Cootehill and Belturbet, and bounded by them, so that either served as a most convenient stand for spectators who would not, or could not, get ingress into the field. Then green hills overhung it to the right and left, and upon them sauntered or reclined innumerable persons, anxious to be observers of all that passed, while Mr. THOMPSON's garden supplied a most desirable look-out place to a great many ladies and gentlemen who had access to it. In the centre of the field itself - which was as densely filled as it could well be, if the men were to be allowed sufficient space for going through their evolutions - a platform, capable of accommodating 100 persons, tastefully carpetted(sic) and hung with crimson cloth, was erected. When three o'clock came it was already filled by a most respectable and fashionable concourse of ladies and gentlemen; nor did it contain all the fashion and respectability, for a great number found seats in the carriages which were scattered over the field, and much a larger number contented themselves standing, and having under their feet the rich carpeting(sic) of the grass. In the assemblage we observed, amongst other Ladies, the Countess of BECTIVE, the Countess of LANESBOROUGH, Lady FANNY LAMBaRT, Lady OLIVIA FITZPATRICk, Lady Catherine SAUNDERSON, the Misses LESLIE, the Hon. Misses FITZGERALD, Mrs. DELAP, Drumkeen; Mrs. DICKEY, Belfast; Mrs. and Miss SCOTT, Belturbet; Mrs. W. P. MOORE, Mrs. and the Misses HUMPHRYS, Mrs. White VENABLES, Mrs. and the Misses ROE, Mrs. and Miss HILL, Mrs. JOHNSTON, Mrs. William A. MOORE, Mrs. M. FARRELL, the Misses GALLOGLY, Mrs. and Miss BRICE, Mrs. and the Misses HUNT, Mrs. and the Misses WINDER, Miss BOOTH, the Misses TULLY, the Misses MOORE, Mrs. Capt. PHILLIPS, Mrs. MOORE, The Rocks, Crossdoney; Mrs. James BURROWES, Mrs. HANCOCK, the Baroness DE THURON, Miss KEMP, the Misses LOUGH, Miss O'BRIEN, Miss HAGUE, Miss FINEGAN, Miss MURRAY, the Misses PAR, the Misses ARMSTRONG, Mrs. CAFFREY, Mrs. DUFF, (a few more names, unreadable) , &c. Amongst the gentlemen were, beside the Officers in the Militia, who appeared in full dress, Major LAMBART, Beaupare (Beauparc?); Henry CODDINGTON, Esq., Oldbridge; William HUMPHREYS, Esq., Ballyhaise; _________ WINTER, Esq., Rev. A. HOGG, Rev. John O'REILLY, Rev. W. M'AULEY, Rev. W. P. MOORE, Rev. John GAFFNEY, Rev. Mr. WINDER, Rev. Wm. M. WILKINS, John REILLY, Esq., Butlersbridge; George GALLOGLY, Esq., Doctor BABINGTON, W. NAPIER, Esq., R. J. CUMMING, Esq., J.P., Edward PLUNKETT, Esq., Dunowen; Captain Clifford, Bawnboy; Rev. E. W. VENABLES, Redhills; James BURROWES, Esq., Lisnamandra; the Hon. H. ANNESLEY, James FAY, Esq., Rev. P. MAGINNESS, W. A. MOORE, Esq., Charles B. HANCOCK, Esq., the Baron DE THURON, John ARMSTRONG, Esq., George CARMICHAEL, Esq., Dublin; Robert ERSKINE, Esq., J.P., Rev. Mr. HUNT, Virginia; Wm. HAGUE, Esq., Charles HILL, Esq., Rev. Mr. STONE, Colonel TAYLOUR, Major DIXON, Lord LANESBOROUGH, Joseph STOREY, Esq., J.P., &c., &c. The colours, upon which were inscribed the words "Cavan Militia," surrounded by a wreath, beautifully executed, exhibiting the shamrock, rose and thistle, entwined and surmounted with a crown, were placed beside the Countess of Bective, who stood in the front of the platform; and, when the proper moment arrived, her Ladyship handed them to the senior ensigns, Messrs. ANDERSON and HEARNE, who advanced and received them on bended knee. Her Ladyship read, at the same time, in a distinct and beautifully modulated voice the following ADDRESS. Cavan Militia, it is with since (sic) pleasure that I have the honour of presenting you with these colours. Your fine appearance on parade to-day, so creditable to you, considering the short time you have been embodied, would in itself inspire me with a well-grounded hope that you will never disgrace them, and I am happy to say that it is the opinion of several old officers, well qualified to judge, that the present state of the regiment is in the highest degree creditable to both officers and men. This, however, is nothing more than might be expected from the County of Cavan. The Cavan militia, when formerly embodied, were second to none in the service for good conduct in the camp and for courage in the field. From what I have seen to-day, and, still more, from the fact that since you have been called together, you have enjoyed the regard and respect of those amongst whom you have been quartered, I have no fear that you will disgrace the old traditions of the regiment. ! With confidence then I commit these colours to your keeping, satisfied that should your country require your services every man in the regiment will do his duty. The Right Hon. The Earl of BECTIVE, as Lieutenant Colonel of the regiment, returned thanks for the honour that day conferred on the force, which he there represented, and he assured her Ladyship that they would guard their colours with a jealous care and prove themselves, in maintaining them, inferior to no other regiment. He and they were grateful for her Ladyship's testimony to their good conduct, and it would be, he declared, their study wherever they were quartered to deserve and preserve the same character. His Lordship, having concluded, called for three cheers for the Queen, which were heartily given, while the band struck up the National Anthem. The men then went through their evolutions in a masterly way and to the admiration of all who saw them, after which they retired from the field. A sumptuous dejeuner was provided in the Court House, and was partaken of by a large and most fashionable party. In the evening a ball came off in the same place, which must have been a magnificent thing, judging from the number of carriages that made their way to it, but we have no further knowledge of the matter.

Hi Murray, When I ordered a baptism entry from the research centre, I phoned them with the details and paid over the phone with my credit card. They then sent me the entry through the post and debited my card with the equivalent in sterling£.
