On the 3d March last, at Brooklin, New York, by the Rev. Mr. JOHNSTON, James SWAN, Esq., of No. 150 Prospect street, in that city, eldest son of Robert SWANN, Esq., of Dromore Lodge, county Monoghan, to Miss Mary SWANN; late of Cotehill, only daughter of James SWANN, Esq., of Crosston House near Drum same county (Note: the spelling of the names are as appear in the article) ________________________________________________________________ COOTEHILL PETTY SESSIONS SATURDAY, MARCH 24 These sessions were held this day before the following magistrates, viz.:-- Samuel Rutherford MOOREHEAD, Esq., (chairman), Lieutenant-Colonel H. F. CLEMENTS, John VEEVERS, Esq., R.M.; Edward M'INTOSH, Esq., and T. L. CLEMENTS, Esq. There was considerable interest evinced to learn the result of a prosecution instituted by Head Constable William GIBSON of Cootehill, ex-officio inspector of weights and measures for that district, and which had pending for two previous petty sessions court days, for having about 5 tons weight of unadjusted weights of various sizes in their possession: against Charles MURPHY, proprietor of Newgrove Mills; Wm. WORTHY, proprietor of Lisagone Mills; Patrick CADEN, Proprietor of Lisnasle Mill; Wm. MARSDEN, of Drumsilla Mills; James SMITH, of Knockatudor Mill, Owen SMITH, of Gorteen; David HALL, of Coppeanagh; Owen FAY, of Lisboduff; John FAY, of Killeerenagh; all mill owners, and John LUSDALE, of Loughgall, and Wm. FOWLER, of Brookborough, butter-buyers. There were some more defendants, but as the charges against them were dismissed, it is unnecessary to say of anything about them. The parties mentioned above, however, were fined in the sums attached to their names respectively, in addition to costs and the forfeiture of their weights. Charles MURPHY, of Newgrove Mills; James SMITH, of Knockatudor; and John FAY, of Killcrenagh, 1l. each; Wm. WORTHY, of Lisagone; and David HALL, of Copenagh, 15s. each; Wm. MARSDEN, of Drumsilla; and Owen FOY, of Lisboduff 10s. each; Patrick CADEN, of Lisnaclea, 2s. 6d.; Owen SMITH of Gorten, 6d.; John LONSDALE, of Loughgall, county Armagh, 5s; and Wm. FOWLER, of Brookborough, 2s. 6d.; A poor man of the name of Wm. BRUSH, a dealer residing at Ballyhaise, brought in his weights to be adjusted, and were found to be quite correct. SPRIGGING A little girl, of the name of Marget SMITH, Corfad. (who was attended by her mother), summoned Robert M'CARTHY, a sprigging agent, or as he designated himself, a sewed or worked and embroidered muslin agent, who resides in Cootehill, for the sum of 1s. 6d. for work she deposed to having executed for him, but which he refused to pay for, offering only 2d. or 4d. for same as he alleged it was not properly executed. Mr. M'INTOSH, one of the magistrates, stated that having heard an altercation between the parties, in the street, on that day fort- night, he endeavoured to settle the matter between them, but without success; as having advised Mr. M'CARTHY to give the little girl 9d., half the sum she demanded, and have done with her, he declined to do so; hence the present summons; defendant having been asked by the chairman if he would even now give the little girl that sum, he stated he would not, but that as there was a clause in an act of parliament, I believe the 5 and 6 vic., cap. 10, which authorised the magistrates, if they saw fit, to refer such disputes to arbitrators--he would consent to have the case so referred. The bench declined to accede to his proposal, as it would be difficult to procure a person who understood such work, save a brother agent of his, and that acting under the authority of the petty sessions act 14 and 15 vic., cap. 93, the bench would grant a decree against him for 9d., the sum Mr. M'INTOSH awarded the complainant, together with costs. On hearing this, Mr. McCARTHY stated that in consequence of the decisions of the Cootehill petty sessions magistrates in this and similar cases, it was the intention of his employers to withdraw him as their agent, and their business from Cootehill, on hearing which Mr. VEEVERS ordered the petty sessions clerk to at once issue a levy warrant against defendant, under which a quantity of embroidered muslin was seized and sold by public auction, in Cootehill on Tuesday and Wednesday week. He (defendant) has had (I have been informed) adverse notices in writing served upon the convicting magistrates. ANOTHER SPRIGGING CASE. Another little girl, but more intelligent than the former, of the name of Mary M'QUILLAN, of Copenagh, summoned Mr. Allan HAMILTON, another agent for the sum of 5s. to which claim the same defence was set up by Mr. Edward M'GAURAN, for the defendant, as in the former case. In consequence of Mr. John CAMPBELL of Cootehill, woolen draper, having at the instance of the bench examined a piece of the work for which complainant claimed to be paid, and stated that it was badly done, he being a judge of such work, having been heretofore an agent for such work himself, the bench awarded her only 2s. 7d. and costs. Mr. CAMPBELL took an opportunity of stating that a great service was rendered to the females of Ireland, by the introduction of such work into it, as he was certain that there was at least 1,000,000l. expended upon it annually in this country, with which statement the bench seemed to coincide. _________________________________________________________ County Cavan Newspaper Transcription Project
