ANGLO-CELT NOVEMBER 16, 1854 A MAN KILLED BY A BULL--A respectable farmer, Bernard CONLAN, of Culties, within a mile of Cavan, was preparing to bring his bull into the fair on Monday, when the animal attacked him, knocked him down, beat him, and injured him so that he died in the County Infirmary yester- day. CONLAN, we are told, held the bull by the horn all the time, and this alone prevented his immediate destruction; though upwards of sixty years of age, he was a man of great strength, as what we stated must leave clear enough. FUNERAL OF THE LATE M. J. BOYLE, ESQ., J.P., OF TULLYVIN--The remains of this lamented gentleman whose demise we briefly noticed in our last publication, were interred in the family vault, situate on the site of an ancient burial place within the precincts of Tullyvin Demesne, on Monday se'ennight. The funeral possession had a very imposing and unique appearance, being composed of almost all the magistrates and gentlemen, &c., of the neighbourhood, and a great number of the tenantry on the Tullyvin Estate, wearing scarfs and hat-bands, who preceeded the hearse, marching two and two in solemn silence; then came the carriages, gigs, jaunting cars, and other vehicles--the horse- men bringing up the rear--the hearse drawn by four horses, with sable housings, was followed by the chief mourners. Wm. M. BOYLE, Esq., of Tullyvin-house (the present proprietor of the estate), his brother, J. J. M. BOYLE, Esq., Charles BOYLE, Esq., J.P., Tanagh, brother, and Thomas COOTE, Esq., J. P., Brandrum, nephew to deceased. The two latter gentlemen who are Captains in the Monaghan militia served in the office of Sheriff for that county, as did the late Wm. M. J. BOYLE for that of Cavan, in the memorable year 1826. MR. BOYLE was a good landlord and a humane, but just magistrate, and is the last of forty other Grand Jurors of the county Cavan, his contemporaries who have preceded him, and gone to "that bourne where no traveller returns." Great merit is due to the Messrs. COONEY, of Cootehill, for the elegant and appropriate manner in which they conducted the funeral obsequies. _____________________________________________________________ County Cavan Newspaper Transcription Project
