ANGLO-CELT AUGUST 11, 1848 THE GRIPPER GRIPPED--A few days ago, a bailiff who rejoices in the euphonious cognomen of Munyer SMITH arrested a man of the name of Hugh M'MAHON, a carpenter of the employment of Mr. Richard COOTE, of Bellamont Forest, under a civil bill decree at the suit of a man named Stephen RONALDSON, for the sum of £2 17 s. 6d. Mr. COOTE having been apprized of the capture of his workman, at which he felt annoyed, and having a civil bill decree himself for a larger sum against said Munyer SMITH, gave instructions to Alexander TURNER, another bailiff, to execute same upon him, and procure the discharge of M'MAHON by the payment of RONALDSON's decree. Accordingly TURNER proceeded to manage the affair, which he did so adroitly, that he procured a seat on the same car with Munyer and his prisoner, and proceeded with them from Cootehill to Cavan. As soon as Munyer handed M'MAHON into the custody of the officer of the gaol of Cavan, TURNER also handed him the decree against Munyer at the suit of Mr. COOTE; he then paid the amount of the decree against M'MAHON, who returned with him on the same car to Cootehill, leaving poor Munyer in the gaol, where he still remains in durance vile--a fate to which he himself consigned many a luckless wight. _____________________________________________________________ BIRTHS August 4, at Killucan, the lady of the late Rev.
