CAVAN WEEKLY NEWS, Friday, December 1, 1876 SOUTH AUSTRALIA. In April last Christopher Richard MARLOW, of Cavan, married Sarah FRASER, a servant in the Rectory House, Killeshandra. They wailed in the "Hesperides" as free emigrants, to Adelaide, South Australia. In a letter dated August 16, and addressed to Mr. William MOORE, Boot and Shoe Maker, Wesley-street, Cavan, Mr. Marlow says:- "My trade (a plumber) is very dull at present; so I thought I would go farming for a while - a very good thought too. I happened into a house with work for self and wife. We are as happy as the day is long. I am putting by £1 per week, being as much as I can afford at present, but in three months I shall be able to put by more. I have signed a (temperance) pledge, which I intend to keep. The work is pretty hard, but I don't mind that while God gives us health and strength. We are fed at the table with our master and mistress. Everyone out here feeds their servants the same as themselves. Never do we sit down to a meal without jams or puddings - meat three times a-day. This is a fine healthy climate. There are parrots and other nice birds flying about like blackbirds at home; also kangaroos and other animals. In fact, I am delighted at coming out here." DEATH OF CAPTAIN A. CARDEN. It is with deep regret we announce the demise of Captain A. Carden, who died suddenly on Monday last, while traveling to Dublin. He formerly resided in this County; and was very popular with all classes. He was distinguished for straightforward manly conduct, for unostentatious Christian charity, and for the warm interest which he took in all Church affairs. His loss will be deeply deplored; and he will long be held in loving remembrance not only by his immediate relatives, but by a wide circle of acquaintances and friends. SUDDEN DEATH OF A. CARDEN, ESQ., BARNANE CASTLE, CO. TIPPERARY. Maryborough, Monday evening The above gentleman died suddenly while traveling in a railway carriage on the Great Southern and Western Railway this afternoon. When the train arrived at Ballybrophy, Mr. Carden was soon sitting alone in a first-class carriage, with the straps of the window twisted round his arm, and as he were hanging on to it for support. On examination it was found that he was very ill, and the railway officials at once sought through the train for a doctor. One happened to be in the train, an English gentleman, and he got into the carriage with Mr. Carden, accompanied by a railway porter. The doctor, it is said, tried brandy as a restorative, but with no good effect, and on the arrival of the train at the next station, Mountrath, Mr. Carden was so much worse that a telegram was sent to Doctor David Jacob of Maryborough, to meet the train on its arrival there are 6.19. Doctor Jacob did so, but by the time of the arrival of the train Mr. Carden was quite dead. An inquest was held on Tuesday on the remains, in one of the waiting rooms of Maryborough railway station. It was stated that the deceased gentleman was going to Kingstown to meet his daughter on her return from England, and accompany her home, and that previous to his entering the railway carriage at Templemore he appeared in his usual health, and walked up and down the platform several times whilst waiting the arrival of the train. From the evidence of the deceased's steward it appeared that he had two or three times before been attacked by fits of illness. Dr. Jacob was of opinion that death had been the result of either an attack of epilepsy or apoplexy, or both. The jury returned a verdict that deceased died from natural causes.

TWO SUDDEN DEATHS. - John BRYAN, a small farmer, residing at Kilconnell, six miles from Ballinasloe, dropped dead on Saturday, while engaged at work in a stable at the rere (sic) of his house. He left his dwelling-house a few minutes previous to his death in apparently good health. He leaves a wife and family. Edward KEATING, shopkeeper, residing at Kilmalloaw, about four miles from Ballinasloe, on the Kilconnell road, also dropped dead on Saturday. His wife left him that morning, taking care of the sop, to go to the Ballinasloe market, and when she returned a few hours later she found him dead. Deceased was about 50 years of age, and leaves a young family. AN EXTRAORDINARY PROSECUTION. - At Borrisokane Petty Sessions, on Wednesday, Sub-Inspector LOPDALL summoned Mr. FANNING, of Roscrea, an extensive wholesale merchant, for sale of spirits, porter, ale, &c., for selling porter and ale to his country customers at Borrisokane who are licensed to sell by rtail, by supplying them through the medium of a porter and ale van. The police witnesses proved two cases of delivery of porter and ale to houses in Borrisokane. Mr.Lopdell argued that Mr. Fanning should have had orders from his customers instead of sending out his liquor on speculation. The magistrates adjourned the case for a fortnight for the opinion of the Law Advisor. DEATH OF LORD CHIEF JUSTICE WHITESIDE. On Saturday last, the twenty-fifth ult., the Right Honourable James Whiteside, Lord Chief Justice of the Queen's Bench in Ireland departed this life in the seventieth year of his age. He early attained to eminence at the Bar; and was one of the leading counsel on behalf of the traversers in several of the State trials between 1843 and 1848. In 1851 he was returned to the House of Commons as member for Enniskillen; but in 1859 he exchanged that seat for the representation of the Dublin University. He was appointed Solicitor-General for Ireland under Lord Derby's first administration; in 1858 he was appointed Attorney-General under Lord Derby's second administration; and soon afterwards promoted to be Lord Chief Justice of Ireland, which distinguished office he filled with characteristic and consummate ability until the period of his last illness and death. He was an eloquent and impassioned advocate; an able, fearless, and upright judge; and notwithstanding the rivalries and jealousies of political life, enjoyed the respect of all parties. There are various rumours afloat as to who will be appointed his successor; but they are apparently only shrewd guesses as to what is probable and are not to be received as of any authority. DEATH OF LORD CHIEF JUSTICE WHITESIDE. We regret to announce the death of a distinguished Irish gentleman, the Right Hon. James Whiteside, Q.., LL.D., D.C.L., P.C., Lord Chief Justice of Ireland, which occurred at Brighton, at four o'clock on Saturday evening. The deceased was son of the late Rev. William Whiteside, an eminent clergyman of the Irish Church, and was born in the year 1806 in the County Wicklow; educated at Trinity College, Dublin, where he graduated in honours; was called to the Bar in 1830, in which profession he rose rapidly. In the year 1843 he was counsel for the defence of O'CONNELL, and greatly distinguished himself by the eloquence and earnestness he displayed on behalf of his client, who was subsequently set at liberty on appeal to the House of Lords. In 1848 he again distinguished himself by his defence of Smith O'BRIEN and others accused of high treason; but, perhaps, the case which made him most popular was his advocacy of Teresa LONGWORTH in the celebrated trial to establish the validity of her marriage with Major YELVERTON. In 1833 Mr. Whiteside married a daughter of the late William NAPIER, Esq., of Belfast. He was returned to the House of Commons for the borough of Enniskillen in August, 1851, and continued to represent it till April, 1859, when he was elected one of the members for the University of Dublin. In 1853 he was appointed Solicitor-General for Ireland, in Lord Derby's first Administration; this year he was also elected a Bencher of the King's Inns; he was appointed Attorney-General in Lord Derby's second Administration, in 1858-59, when he was sworn a member of the Privy Council in Ireland; in 1865 he was again appointed Attorney-General in Lord Derby's third administration, and in 1866 was raised to the dignity of Lord Chief Justice of the Queen's Bench, when he retired from the House of Commons, and from active political life, in which he had held a conspicuous place as a Conservative for many years, his speeches in the House and out of the House bearing evidence of great power of eloquence and soundness of political opinion. He was an eminent lawyer, and was looked up to by all classes both as an advocate and a judge. His published works include "Ancient Rome: Italy in the Nineteenth Century," "Vicissitudes of the Eternal City," "Life and Death of the Irish Parliament," an essay on "Oliver Goldsmith," to whose genius he did full justice; another essay on the "Homley Virtues;" two lectures on "The Church in Ireland;" and an elaborate judgment in the celebrated case of "O'KEEFFE v. Cardinal CULLEN." Of the Irish Church he was a warmly-attached member, and for many years tried to induce the Government to give a grant to the Church Education Society. He was much esteemed through life by the leaders of the Conservative party, and stood high in the friendship of the late Archbishop of Armach, the present Earl of Enniskillen, and of all the Conservative noblemen and gentlemen in the kingdom. His demise will now be deeply deplored by the Conservatives of Ireland, and by Irishmen generally; for he loved our country, spoke kindly of her failings, and was loud in praise of her virtues. - Belfast News-Letter.
