    2. Declan Barron
    3. Hi, Clare Journal Thurs 2 March 1820 An inquest was held by Thomas Ievers, Esq., Coroner, on the remains of the passenger, Wm. Syers, of the brig Success, who was drowned by the upsetting of the boat, in an endeavour to reach the shore, at creampoint, Malbay, as mentioned in our last. The exertions of John Carroll, Esq., and Mr. Mat. Hehir, to preserve the other persons who were in the boat when she upset, were fortunatly successful, and their humanity in supplying them with every necessary requisite to meritt their almost lifeless bodies reflects on them the greatest credit. On Tuesday Killaloe was thrown into the greatest confusion, in consequense of an engagment between the clans of the town and neighbourhood - both sides were well armed - One of them named McNamara recieved two balls in the body. Committals to Ennis Gaol - Pat Thynne, Michael McMahon, Michael Burke, Pat Houlihan, Dan McNamara, Michael Hennessy, Denis Fogerty, charged with assembling under the denomination of Ribbonmen. - Denis slattery, and John and Mich. Dwyer, charged with entering disguised the house of Daniel O'Dea, and stealing thereout cash and wearing apparel, a gun and bed clothes. On Monday night last, the following Gentlemen from the neighbourhood of Corofin, Hugh O'Loughlin, Colman O'Loughlin, Bryan O'Loughlin, Terence O'Loughlin, H. Bridgeman, Michael Kenny, Tompkins Brew and H. Brew, Esqs. accompanied by their servants, and a few of the tenantry, determined on crushing the Ribbon system in its commencement in their Barony, met at Ballard near Kilnaboy and proceeded to ride through the district ...... Death Tuesday, at his seat, Streamstown, in this County, aged 70, Richard Wilson, Esq. ......... Clare Journal 3 April 1820 Saturday last, michael Dwyer and John Dwyer, convicted at our last Assizes for burglary and robbery at the house of a man named O'Dea, were taken from the Jail under escort of Major Warburton's Police, and the party of the 18th Hussars, to O'Callaghan's Mills, where they underwent the awful sentence of the law. The escort which accompanied the criminals from this town, was met on approaching the place of exection by the parties of the 12th regiment, stationed at Tulla and O'Callaghan's Mills and the Ross Castle Yeomanry. They died penitent and acknowledged their guilt. they were both young men, and we sincerely hope their disgraceful and untimely fate, will prove a salutary warning to the great concourse of people that witnessed it. They were the most forlorn and miserably destitute men we almost ever heard of; not a relative or friend appeared to recieve their remains; and were it not for the Sheriff who humainly hired a horse and car to convey them to the burial ground, the coffins would have remained exposed.
