ANGLO-CELT NOVEMBER 30, 1854 ASSAULT AND FALSE IMPRISONMENT--A woman, Alice REILLY, a tenant of Colonel PRATT, residing near KIngscourt, succeeded in obtaining a verdict for 30l. with costs against one MARTIN, a bailiff on the Colonel's estates, in the Queen's Bench on Monday last. The woman, it seems, was going along the road in a cart drawn by an ass, when MARTIN came up, seized her, and accused her of having a purse belonging to him, which contained 33l., and forced her back towards the place from which she was coming, until a person came up and told him that the purse had been found in a spot where he had thrown off his coat to load a cart with some timber. The defendant alleged that he had reasonable grounds for suspicion, that he used the plaintiff gently, and made all the amends he could when he discovered his error. He even offered to pay her costs; but the jury, as we have said, found for the Plaintiff. HON. CAPTAIN ANSLEY--This gentleman of whom we reported that he was wounded at the Alma has arrived in London from the Crimea. He is recovering, but not recovered from a very severe wound, some of his teeth and part of his tongue having been shot away. ROMANCE AND REALITY OF WAR--A paragraph with this heading from the "Morning Post" has come under our notice, and gives us to know that Major MAXWELL has come even more safely than we believed up to this. It was not the size of a crown piece of the skin of his head, but of the skin of his calliendrum wig, and which could not easily be distinguished from the natural article, that was carried off by the 32 pounder. ___________________________________________________________ County Cavan Newspaper Transcription Project
