The Lord Primate's triennial visitation of the diocese of Kilmore was held in Cavan Church on Friday, the 29th ultimo. Joseph Radcliffe, Esq., L.L. D., Vicar-General of the diocese of Armagh, presided in the absence of the Primate. The annual visitation of the Diocese of Kilmore was held on the same day.

CONFIRMATION IN THE DIOCESE OF KILMORE -- On Friday, the 5th instant, the Right Rev. John Leslie, D.D., Lord Bishop of Kilmore, Elphin, and Ardagh, held a confirmation in the Church of Cavan, for the children of the adjoining parishes -- Cavan, Denn, Drung and Larragh, Castleterra, Kilmore and Ballintemple. Four hundred and fifteen your persons were confirmed by his Lordship on that occasion. At an ordination held by the Lord Bishop of Kilmore, &c., in the parish church of Cavan, on Sunday, the 7th of August, 1853, the following gentlemen were ordained deacons, viz : - 1. Ralph James Hope, A.B., for the parish of Kilmore, and diocese of Kilmore. 2. Wm. Wallace, A.B., and Schol., for Killeshandra parish, and diocese of Kilmore. 3.

PROTESTANT ORPHAN SOCIETY FOR THE COUNTY CAVAN. -- This highly meritorious society, held its seventh annual meeting on Monday, the 8th instant, in Lord Farnham's school-house Cavan. The meeting was very well attended. Amongst the persons who were present we noticed our venerable Bishop ; ever a warm supporter of the claims of the orphans and widow(sic) ; Lady Farnham, Lady Catherine Saunderson, the Hon. the Misses Stapleton, Mrs. and the Misses Carson, Mrs. W. A. Moore, A. M. Creight, C. Leslie, A. Knox, Wm. Wilkins, Dr. Roe, Capt. Phillips, &c. The Lord Bishop of Kilmore presided. The report was read by the Rev. Mr. Stone, in the absence of the Secretary, the Rev. Dr. Taylor. From that report it appeared that the total number of orphans that have been protected by this valuable society from its foundation was 89, of whom 37 have been provided for permanently, either by having apprenticed to trades, or taken by their friends or relatives, and that but two have died -- leaving 50 orphans in the care of the society. The meeting, which was opened with prayer, was addressed by the Rev. F. Saunderson, Rev. A. M'Creight, Rev. W. Moore, Rev. M. Bouchin, Dr. Roe, Capt. Phillips, &c. The Rev. F. Saunderson pronounced a well-deserved eulogium on the late lamented secretary of the society, the Rev. Thomas Skelton, whose death from fever -- contracted in the discharge of his duties as a parochial minister -- took place some time back at Ballyjamesduff. In the death of this most estimable servant of God, the County Cavan Protestant Orphan Society has lost one of its warmest supporters - its most strenuous and successful advocates. We understand that the clergy of the diocese have resolved to erect a tablet to his memory in the church of Ballyjsamesduff, of which he was the minister, on which, especial reference is to be made of his untiring zeal in the cause of Protestant orphans. ----------------- CAVAN PETTY SESSIONS -- AUGUST 1. Magistrates present - Theophilus Thompson, R. Erskine, and W. Smith, Esqrs. Patt Walsh v. Anne Smith. This case was for an assault and forcible possession. Patt Walsh, it appeared, is brother of Anne Smith, whose mother attended with her and stated to the bench that it was she who invited her daughter to enter her own garden. The Bench thought it disgraceful to Walsh to differ with his mother and sister so far as to bring one of them before a bench of Justices. The bench having enquired if Walsh wished to proceed against his sister, he (Walsh) replied in the affirmative, which elicited a sensation of disapprobation from those who filled the court. P. Walsh proved that, on the 20th of July he went to the garden in question, and began to dig and throw up clay there, and that whilst there this woman Smith and her son came ; she desired him to go away out of the garden. He replied that he would not, whereupon she struck him with a stone, but he could not say she held it in her hand. Her son also struck him with a shovel handle, which he (Walsh) took from him and struck him with. They do not live in the same house but on the same street. Walsh is a married man, and his father died about Candlemass. The entire parties are married. Charles Foy proved that at the time a division was about to be made in the farm, and a settlement made between Walsh and his landlord, he was called in as an umpire at a settlement between the parties, that then the son was to get eight acres, and the father was to have four, that in consequence of the son agreeing to leave the entire of the meadow to the old man, it was allowed that he (the son) should have the cabbage garden till he would have time to make one for himself. P. Walsh thought that he got the garden with the rest of the farm. Their worships dismissed the case. -------------------- CHILD DESERTION. Michael Boylan v. Ellen Abenth. Anne M'Cormick examined by Mr. Hamilton -- Lives with M. Boylan ; he is her uncle, knows Ellen Abenth ; was in the house when she came there about two weeks ago ; she had a child ; asked a drink ; she got the drink ; she asked me to hold the child till she would tie her apron ; she asked for M. Boylan and was told he was down the hill ; she said he was the father of the child ; there was another woman in the house. Ellen Monaghan -- Never saw Mr. Boylan before this day ; heard nothing of the child unless by hearsay ; did not hear its mother saw that Owen Downey was its father ; does not know what child she fathered on Boylan ; saw a child with her. At the desire of Mr. Boylan, the mother of the child, was sworn and proved that beyond doubt Boylan is the father of the child. The bench dismissed the case, and advised Boylan to take care of his child. Thomas Watson was fined 1£, for an assault on Mr. John Reilly on the 26th of July, at the market-place in Cavan. Margaret M'Keirnan v. Thomas Heaslip, for an assault on the 28th July. She lived with Heaslip as servant, and becoming ill, left his service and went home. Her sister milked the cows during her illness, and was charged by Mr. Heaslip with taking a pair of socks. Her sister took an oath before Mr. and Mrs. Heaslip that she knew nothing of the socks, whereupon Mrs. Heaslip desired Mr. Heaslip to rise and kick her out, which he did, and beat both of them. Anne M'Keirnan, sister to complainant, corroborated the evidence of the sister. Mr. Heaslip had Margaret M'Keirnan summoned for leaving her service, and so far as this was concerned he was heard as an evidence. Mrs. Heaslip was next examined, but nothing was elicited from her to materially affect the testimony of the M'Keirnans. Heaslip having admitted that on one occasion he pulled M'Keirnan's ear, the Bench after consulting a few minutes, dismissed the case, against M'Keirnan. Dismissed Margaret M'Keirnan from service, allowing her her wages from the 12th May till the 1st of August, and fined Heaslip 5s. for the assault. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- County Cavan Newspaper Transcription Project -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- County Cavan Newspaper Transcription Project
