M. MURPHY, Esq., Q.C. and Assistant Barrister for this county, was unable to take the seat on the Bench in Bailieborough, on Thursday, the 5th instant, the day appointed for holding the Quarter Sessions in that town, until about half-past 1 o'clock p.m., in con- sequence of a great quantity of snow which had fallen the night previous, labourers having to be employed to clean it off the road between Cavan and the latter town, he having left the former at 6 o'clock a.m. on that morning. 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. Mary FOY, larceny from Mary GERAGHTY--Twenty months' hard labour. Elizabeth CORMOLIN, larceny of wearing apparel from Joseph M'CREEDY --Forty-eight hours imprisonment. Philip O'REILLY, Elias GIBSON, Wm. DOBBIN, and Peter LYNCH, for having unregistered arms in their possession.--Each 24 hours' imprisonment. _____________________________________________________________ AFFECTING OCCURRENCE--Last week the wife of a respectable farmer named FARRELLY, living in Curfeyhone, near this town, was ill, and her husbands brother (sic) came to see her. When the visitor arrived, she found Mrs. FARRELLY breathing her last and was so shocked that she fell down in a fainting fit, out of which she never recovered. The two women were buried the same day. _____________________________________________________________ MELANCHOLY EVENT--An inquest was held last Monday, by James BEARY, Esq., one of the coroners for this county, on the body of a young man named TODD, who came by his death in the following manner:-- He had gone into a forge in Portlongfield, near Killeshandra, to get some shoeing done, and took up the sledge to strike a little. A young man who had been out shooting came in shortly after, and TODD turning round to see who was there, the gun which must have been on full cock went off, and he received its charge of shot in the breast, and fell dead in a moment. A verdict, such as the facts warranted, was returned. ______________________________________________________________ THE MEATH BANQUET--This demonstration came off magnificently on Tuesday night. 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. The chair was ably filled by Edward M'EVOY, Esq. We have not room for another word. ____________________________________________________________ County Cavan Newspaper Transcription Project
