The Timothy Clohessy in question is almost certainly my relative, so I have tried to find out as much as possible about this incident. He was charged with assault after he hit his tenant Mary Walsh with a shovel during an argument over the ownership of some manure. A large reward was offered for his arrest and he was taken into custody the next day. Mary Walsh was taken to the dispensary in Bruree. The incident took place in Tankardstown (near Kilmallock) in June of 1838. I have yet to find out whether Timothy was found guilty as charged or what kind of sentence he may have received. A look through the records of the Limerick Gaol would suggest that assault was not nearly so severely punished as petty thievery. so Timothy probably got off lightly. According to the Cancelled Land Books Clohessys and Walshes continued to live on adjacent plots of land until about 1865 when my Clohessy family immigrated and settled in Chicago. Anyone one else researching Clohessys or Toomeys from the area around Kilmallock, Fedamore and Bruree? I'd really like to share info with you.
