ANGLO-CELT JULY 20, 1854 TO THE EDITOR OF THE ANGLO-CELT Dunowen, Oldcastle, July 18, 1854 Dear sir,--I read in your paper a fortnight since, an article in the spirit of which I cordially concur, but must state that the facts mentioned are not equally unexceptionable. I allude to the scenes in the petty sessions court, and beg to tell you that you were misinformed on the subject. NEILL, the Protestant, was fined £5, and KELLET and BRADY, Catholics, after him, only £1. No magistrate upon either occasion left the bench "in disgust" or otherwise.--I am, dear sir, yours, & c. Edward PLUNKETT ______________________________________________________________ OBSTRUCTING THE MAIL--On Wednesday night last, as the mail that passed through this town from Enniskillen to Dublin, had come within a short distance of the New Inns, a place distant about ten miles from Cavan, the coachman observed upon the road, almost in the very centre of it, an obstacle in the shape of the roots and block of a large tree. He was of opinion that it was not left there accidentally, and we know not how to disagree with him. But for the caution of the coachman, the coach might have been upset, and the passengers killed or severely injured. A CAVAN WOMAN--On Thursday, the 13th inst., Mrs. Michael SMYTH, of Ryeforth, Parish of Denn, in this county, gave birth to three sons, all with their mother, doing admirably well. Mrs. SMYTH has now had nine sons and two daughters, eight of the former, and one of the latter, living. We move that she get a premium. The infants are so remarkable\y like other, that they were obliged to have different marks, with names attached to them, in order to distinguish one from the other. ____________________________________________________________ BIRTH July 11, at Edinburgh, the wife of Joseph STORY, Esq., of Bingfield, county of Cavan. ____________________________________________________________ County Cavan Newspaper Transcription Project
