We have seen a portion of the MS., and are disposed to augur favourbly of it. SHOOTING AN EYE OUT--We have been informed that Mr. JOHNSTON, of Drumshimmuck, was held to bail at the last petty sessions held in Derrylinn, before Messrs. HOLMES, R.M., and MAGUIRE, J.P., for shooting the eye out of a boy named CURRY, who was pulling sloes, as he alleged, in a hedge near his (JOHNSTON's) orchard. The occur- rence took place more than a month ago, and what is specially strange in the matter is, that the magistrate to whom application was made first, refused to listen to the case at all. The boy is under the care of Dr. O'DONOVAN of Belturbet, and there are yet but slight hopes of his recovery. A REAL MARRIAGE IN COOTEHILL--Considerable excitement and gossip prevailed in Cootehill on Wednesday last (yesterday) in con- sequence of Mr. Edward BROWN, Registrar of Marriages for the district, having married a rather young man of the name of Thomas JOHNSTON, of Ashfield, near Cootehill, at nine o'clock on that morning, to Miss Ellen M'CREEDY, who was present when her father, the late Joseph M'CREEDY, was stabbed in the abdomen, near Newbliss, on the evening of Sunday, the 17th ult., by Francis HOPKINS, one of her then suitors, whom she courageously disarmed of the knife with which he inflicted the wound, and of which he died on the night of the Wednesday following. We noticed the circumstance in this paper at the time of its occurrence. HOPKINS awaits his trial in gaol for the offence, at the ensuing assizes of Monaghan. __________________________________________________________ County Cavan Newspaper Transcription Project
