ANGLO CELT -- November 22, 1855 ______________________ ACCESSORY AFTER THE FACT. -- An old man named Maguire, whose residence is near Arvagh, was committed from last petty sessions of this town to take his trial at next assizes for the county, on a charge of attempting to conceal one of the parties, who are alleged to have been the offenders in a late stabbing case, wherein a man named Gannon lost his life. It appears that the police, having come to Maguire's house during the night, were kept outside the door for a considerable time, and, on entering, could not find the person of whom they were in search ; he was discovered, however, hidden under some straw in one of the outhouses. Maguire tendered bail to any amount for his appearance, but was refused by Mr. Hickson, R.M., who told him he should have recourse to the Queen's Bench for the purpose. ______________________ MANY A SLIP.-- On Friday morning last a man, who afterwards gave in his name as Cox, his wife and son, went into the shop of Mr. James Hartley in this town to buy goods, and tendered in payment a bank note for 20£. Mr. Hartley thinking that he was not like a person who could be honest master of such a sum, sent for the police, by whom the party and the note were brought before Robert Erskine, Esq., J.P., and he enclosed the latter in an envelope and committed them to gaol until inquiries could be made. It being known that a gentleman named Frith was robbed of 150£ in the last fair of Mullingar, notice was given of the matter to him, and, coming here, he at once identified Cox as a person whom he had seen in the fair and even in a room, where he produced the money ; he could not, however, give the number of the note, which he was not allowed to see, but thought he would be able to discover it. The prisoners were brought before the magistrates at last Petty Sessions and rem! anded for further examination. ______________________ MALTA. -- A slight shock of earthquake was felt at Malta at 7:28 a.m. on the 8th of November, and a second much smarter shock after a few minutes, which latter lasted several seconds, but has produced no damage beyond the cracking of some slender built walls in houses in Valett, and some crazy buildings in the country. A similar shock was felt at Gozo some three weeks previous. ______________________ We would direct the attention of our readers to an advertisement in our columns of this day, on the subject of the income tax. The difficulty that all parties, whether liable or not liable, have experienced in getting their returns made out, has been very great, in consequence of the various matters requisite to be specifically set forth in the complicated tabular forms. All documents of this kind, including those for recovery and repayment of the tax, will, henceforward, be prepared expeditiously, and on moderate terms at the office established for that purpose in Longford. It is satisfactory that all such business can be transacted through the post-office. ______________________ MARRIED. On the 11th November instant, in the chapel of Bunnee (?), parish of Drung, by the Rev. P. Clarke, P.P., John, son of Mr. John Lyons, P.L.G., of Conervey, to Anna, eldest daughter of Mr. Thomas Brady, P.L.G., Lisboduff (Liabeduff?), both in this county. ______________________ County Cavan Newspapers Transcription Project
