BALLINA CHRONICLE Ballina, Co. Mayo Wednesday, July 17, 1850 FRACAS IN THE GRAND JURY ROOM - A serious altercation took place on Friday last in the grand jury room of the new court-house, between Captain Macnamara, foreman, and Mr. O'Brien, of Birchfield, another member of the grand jury, which might have been attended with evil consequences were it not for the interference of Mr. Augustine Butler, of Ballyline, in his magisterial capacity. It is not for us to express any opinion on the conduct of the parties; but we regret that any such occurrence should have taken place. We are happy to state, however, that the affair has since been satisfactorily arranged.-- Clare Journal. Cathy Joynt Labath Ireland Old News http://www.IrelandOldNews.com/
