OUTRAGE NEAR ARVA. - On the night of Monday, 19th inst., a party of armed men entered the house of a man named MURRAY, who lives in Cornaugh, on the road leading from Arva to Carrigallen. The unwelcome visitors roused Murray and family from their beds, presented their arms, ordered them to leave the place, and treated them roughly. The reason assigned for such summary dealing was that Murray's sons were in the habit of playing the fife accompanied with the drum for the "Cullies Lads," who are Protestants. The police are active; many arrests have been made. All parties concerned are Roman Catholics. - Correspondent. BAILLIEBOROUGH PETTY SESSIONS- Tuesday. (Before James SMALL, Esq., J.P., Capt. WARING, Esq., R.M., and Hugh K. SIMPSON, Esq., J.P.) Alleged Larceny of a Heifer. James O'BRIENS, a miserable-looking fellow, was put forward, charged by Sub-Constable Morris, Kingscourt, with stealing a heifer the property of Michael FARRELL, Tunnyduff. Witness said he saw defendant on the 6th inst., offering for sale a heifer in Kingscourt fair; arrested him on suspicion; the owner of the heifer afterwards identified the animal as his property. After hearing the information, the Bench returned the case for trial at next Cavan Assizes. Workhouse Delinquents. Thomas SIMPSON and James NULTY, juvenile inmates of the Bailieborough Workhouse, were charged by the Guardians with eloping from the Workhouse with the Union clothing, on the 11th inst. The Master, who appeared in charge of defendants, said it was their first offence. The youthful runaways were discharged with a caution. A Groom in Trouble. Sub-Constable Patrick NOLAN, charged Patrick GARGAN, with being drunk and disorderly while in charge of a dangerous stallion at Bailieborough, on the 8th instant. Witness said he saw defendant, who was drunk, leading a horse on a long rein, near the Model school gate, defendant seemed incapable of controlling the animal, and on being ordered by witness to go quietly home, he pulled up the horse and gave him some secret command which had the effect of stirring him to action, witness was immediately coiled by the rein, the horse at the same time ready to attach him, with some difficulty witness got released and ran to the barracks for assistance, the horse still following him, Sub-Constable M'GEE came to his assistance, when defendant drove off. Defendant, who has since taken the pledge against drink, was ordered to pay £2 and costs, or in default, one month's imprisonment. The liquor department of this court was thinly represented to-day, only a few crowned heads being in attendance. The constabulary are gradually bringing the "Gilbeyites," to a true sense of their position. (County Cavan Newspaper Transcription Project)
