ANGLO-CELT DECEMBER 7, 1854 DEATHS It is with more than ordinary sorrow that we have to announce the death from dysentery, after only a day's illness, of Dr. Charles BRADY, of London. The deceased, it is known was from this locality, a brother of the member for Leitrim, and of Mr. Peter BRADY of this town, and he ever cherished the recollection of the place of his nativity, with all the ardour of a true heart. Many a boon conferred on a Cavan man in the great metropolis was owing to Dr. Charles; to those of us who were not in want, his hospitality was ever ready, nay urgent, and for those who were poor, advice, assistance, and an open purse, were always prepared. Nor was it Cavan men alone that thus partook of his bounty; he was a genuine friend of every Irishman, for he loved his country with a plenitude of feeling. And now he has passed away; as generous a heart as ever dwelt in a human bosom has ceased to throb, and for the future we can only indulge in the memory of him whose living and speaking worth was often most fully evinced to us. The stroke was a severe one, but we may not murmur against Him by whom it was imparted. He knows best when to sow and when to reap; let us hope that in the present case the time was seasonable. On the 3rd inst., at Talbot Place of bronchitis, Mary Isabella, the dearly-beloved daughter of William DUNBAR, Esq., Ex-S.T.C.D. On the 1st instant, at Bridge Street, Cavan, Mr. James HAYES. ====================================================== COOTEHILL PETTY SESSIONS Saturday, December 2. Magistrates present--S. R. MOORHEAD, Thomas JOHNSON, and Edward M'INTOSH, Esqrs. SUB-CONSTABLE LANE v. MARKEY. MARKEY v. LANE. A charge against MARKEY of retailing spirits after prohibited hours, on the 25th October last. LANE proved finding drunken men in MARKEY's house after 11 o'clock, and the signs of drinking--as jugs, glasses, &c., there. MARKEY told him the drunken men were to stay there all night, but he subsequently found him and them on the streets, as if they were being conducted home; MARKEY was drunk as well as the men he had with him. Cross-examined by Mr. John ARMSTRONG--MARKEY was surely drunk. Head Constable HARRISON--He must have been, for I found him praying in the lock-up, and no sober man ever prayed there (roars of laughter). Cross-examination contained (sic)--Was once fined a pound in this court for doing his duty; believes his wife asked MARKEY for the money to pay the fine, but did not get it. Sub-Constable DONNELLAN partially corroborated LANE's statement. MARKEY was then examined, in the cross cause--He swore he sold no whiskey after half past ten, but that the men in the house were drunk, and could not leave before the police came in. They were able to go afterwards, and witness was escorting them down the street, when LANE rushed out and arrested them, assaulting witness, who was a householder in the town, and could be summoned if he were really drunk. Witness did commit the offence of praying in the lock-up, and he induced his fellow prisoners to do the same. They prayed to be delivered out of the hands of their enemies (loud laughter). Witness was not drunk, but well able to transact his business. Nancy MARKEY, sister to last witness, corroborated his evidence. The Court dismissed both cases to the evident satisfaction of all present. ____________________________________________________________ County Cavan Newspaper Transcription Project
