Mary, I always read your messages but this one was especially interesting since my Hogan family came to New York from Borrisokane in the late 1840's.

Emigration The Tipperary Vindicator truly observes,- "Within our remembrance, the tide of emigration has been seldom, if ever, so strong as at the present moment.

From the North Riding of Tipperary, and more particularly from the baronies of Upper and Lower Ormond, the number of emigrants is extraordinary. Nearly all of them are the more comfortable class of farmers; at least, of those who have not felt the pressure of distress. From Borrisokane and its neighbourhood hundreds have gone out, or are preparing to leave. From Ballygibbon Parish, we learn no less than 100 persons have already gone. From Derry-Castle estate we are informed that numbers of the poor cottier teanantry on that property have left by way of Limerick.

No less than 30 convicts entered Nenagh from Limerick, some of them we believe were from Tralee and Ennis, and to this number was added those who were left under sentence in Nenagh Gaol, and who amounted to 9 or 10.

Ireland-The Times-From the Tipperary Vindicator 10-4-1846. Mr. O'Connell and his Quondam "Friend". Mr. Ryan of Liscahill-house whose name has been frequently mentioned in the debates upon the Irish Coercion Bill, has addressed a long letter to the Home-Secretary, praying that a strict inquiry may be instituted into all the outrages committed on him (Mr. Ryan) as stated in his memorable letter to his friend the "Liberator" "This" he says, "will not be as difficult as it may appear at first view; because out of ten malicious injuries, seven presentments only were sough for; and each and every one of them passed, their merits being discussed on oath before the magistrates and Cesspayers at Road Sessions, and again by the grand jury-and I insist they passed solely on my own evidence. The last presentment I obtained was for the breaking of my window at Liscahill in 1845. This must be the attack alluded to by Mr. O'Connell and Mr. Maher. This latter gentleman was on the grand jury, when 6s was awarded me for this malicious injury, which he calls an unfounded attack, and which Mr. O'Connell calls a fabrication. My windows were broken before and the magistrates sent Delahenty, who was caught in the act, to prison for two months. There was no presentment sought in this case, nor in two other cases, because the amount of compensation was not worth looking for. This disposes of the then malicious injuries; now as to the two attempts on my life. The first attempt on my life was by a man named Delaney, who struck me a blow on the side of my face with a stone. Doctor Leahy of Templemore , who dressed the wound, can prove if I were hit a half inch higher on the temple that my life would have been lost. The second attempt on my life, and indeed the lives of my family, was the monstrous murderous attack on the night of the 7th of last month, as stated in my letter to Mr. O'Connell. I know not, I care not, what the report of any stipendiary magistrate may be. I will prove beyond the possibility of contradiction, and by the most unsullied testimony, that every syllable in my letter was perfectly true and correct; and I will show that, instead of exaggerating, I have not recounted other outrages which I had suffered. As to Mr. O'Connells allusion to my insolvency, it was a mean, paltry, pitiful device, which no man in his station ought to have resorted to, It was a most miserable subterfuge by which to attempt to rebut sound arguments, or controvert stubborn facts quite beneath the dignity of a great statesman. I could with much more propriety call on him to account for the enormous sums which we have paid him in the shape of the Repeal rent, and which account he has repeatedly refused to give the public. In my letter I did not say one disrespectful word to him. Whether the usages of the house allow it or not, I request that my schedule will be produced. By it will be proved the very reverse of what he states. It will show that one of the most improving tenants in Ireland was sacrificed by oppressive landlords. I laid out on farms over 2000s in building, manuring, planting, draining, and permanent improvements, and besides losing all these improvements without one shilling remuneration, the crops on the lands were valued at three times the rent due to the landlords. Yes, that schedule will show the small sums that were due to other creditors-and the receipts of those creditors will show that I have struggled to pay them even after my discharge as an insolvent. It will also show that what Mr. O'Connell states is not true, when he asserts that Mr. Maher was a sufferer. Neither he nor his predecessor suffered one shilling up to the day of my discharge-nor up to the present moment. And when it is thrown on me by Mr. Maher to relate the part he acted in the melancholy drama of my unexampled misfortunes, I shudder lest the revealing of the truth may be of further injury to my already grievously afflicted family".

Ireland-The Times-From the Tipperary Vindicator 10-4-1846. From our Correspondent. The Evictions at Gurtmore. The Tipperary Vindicator of yesterday gives a circumstantial account of the eviction of tenantry on the lands of Gurtmore, the property of Mr. Tuthill, and which was briefly noticed in a recent number of that journal. As in all such cases, it is more than probable that the subjoined detail will be met by a counter statement in justification of the measures adopted on the occasion; and, if so, it is not likely that the aggrieved party will be denied the benefit of your circulation. "We witnessed on Friday morning one of the most melancholy spectacles that ever fell to the lot of feeling humanity to behold, namely, the casting out of nine wretched families from their miserable hovels on the bleak roadside at Gurtmore. It was a wet and stormy morning, when a detachment of Her Majesty's 72d Highlanders, under Captain Pollard, who were marched ten miles on this unsoldier like duty, drew up on the public road within a few hundred yards of the cabin of Mara, the first of these poor tenants on whom was executed the law of ejectment. A strong body of police was posted opposite the house, and more about the door, to keep the passage clear for the landlord, the sub-sheriff and the bailiffs. It was disgusting to observe with what recklessness the bailiffs dragged out every little article of furniture which belonged to the wretched inmates of each hovel they visited, and in some instances, threw out the miserable remnant of rotten potatoes which they had for subsistance. We have been informed that the sheriff, on more occasions then one (when we were not near him), reproved these fellows for misconduct in discharge of their office, and checked their wanton impropriety. Both the military and police comported themselves on this occasion with the bearing of men who knew and felt that they were performing a disagreeable duty, but the soldiery openly expressed their repugnance to this mode of campaigning. 'I have been in the army (said a veteran) for 27 years; this is the second time I have been called out on this duty, and I hope it will be the last, for, by God, I would rather face an enemy than withness what I have seen today'. Pat Clancy was the second man dispossessed, and who showed our reported a receipt for a half years rent up to November. The commanding officer of the 72d met him at the rear of his house, and expressed deep sympathy for him as well as for his fellow sufferers. Another officer said to Clancy's son, 'Well, my boy, where will you sleep tonight?. 'I don't know Sir' said the boy. The brave humane man put his hand in his purse and gave the boy a shilling to procure lodging. A remarkable circumstance occurred at the house of Clancy. One of the Bailiffs was dragging a piece of frail furniture with unnecessary force out of the house-Clancy's wife caught him by the throat with her left hand, while in her right hand she brandished a naked knife until she made the ruffian relinquish his hold of the old table; meanwhile, the military and police laughed heartily, and not a man among them showed the slightest disposition to come to his rescue. The third man ejected was Fennell, next door to Clancy. They were in the act of carrying out a cupboard from his kitchen, when he showed what was rent in bank-notes, which he had a minute before offered to his landlord and which was refused. A bailiff was nailing a hasp to one of the doors, when a woman, with a crying infant in her arms -'That is mightn't be long till I hear the sound of the nail in your coffin, you villian:, what she meant I can't say but the campaign of the day had a ludicrous termination. Though ball cartridges were not flying, the women, to the great amusement of the force, both civil and military treated the bailiffs to rotten potatoes and eggs of the same quality. One fellow with an oilskin cap and a hangman visage, smeared all over, appealed to the sheriff for protection, and told his honour that was the third time he had been pelted at by the same woman on that day.When the bailiffs were send to drive the cattle of Herberts land, they were followed by a crowd of women and boys, who saluted them with missiles of all sorts, and it was not until one woman tried 'what virtue was in stones' that the police interfered to protect the detested slaves of the law. It was upon the whole, fortunate, that the country people did not expect this campaigning visit, and thus the proceedings of the day passed off without bloodshed or riot. Mary

Nenagh Guardian 15-8-1843 Thursday the Sub-Sheriff of this County having occasion to execute an habere on the lands of Annagh, at the suit of "Kilban? V. O'Brien" and having proceeded thither, was informed that a large force of about five thousand men were determined to oppose the process of the law. The Sheriff drove into Birr, and in a short time returned to the spot, accompanied by almost the full force of the 5th Fusiliers stationed in that Town, amounting to 250 men, under their commanding officer-also a strong police force of about 70 men. A collision would certainly have taken place, and lives lost were it not for the kind interposition of Mr. J.W.Walsh, Justice of the peace, who was known to and highly regarded by the peasantry of the neighbourhood. Mr. Walsh remonstrated with the leaders, and his advice was respectfully attended to, for they all departed quietly, and the Sheriff was enabled to perform his duty. "The opposition on the part of the people was owing, we learn, to their Roman Catholic Clergyman being one of the parties evicted". Mary

21-5-1850 From the Nenagh Guardian. "A gentleman of highly respectable family and connexions, the owner in fee of different estates not many miles from Newport, in this County and which realised until very recently a rental of over £1000 per year, died within the last few days a recipient of indoor relief within one of the Dublin workhouses. The father of the unfortunate gentleman referred to had been at one time High Sheriff of this county, held the commission of peace for the counties of Clare, Limerick, and Tipperary, was the processor in his lifetime of over 20 fee simple and freehold estates, and a courtier in the reign of George IV, with whom he was a close companion, and favourite when Prince of Wales. The remnants of the Family Estates, which are heavily encumbered, will, we believe, be put up for sale in the Incumbered Estates Court in the month of June, the order for sale having been made absolute some months since. 28-9-1831 On the night of the 18th inst. Four armed men attacked the house of Michael Malone, at Allengart, in the district of Kilnemanagh, they fired several shots through the door, and on going into the house, one of the party struck Malone's mother with a stone, which seriously injured her. She knows one of the party, but will not prosecute. Mary

25-7-1836 Times Newspaper Payment of Tithes-Writs of rebellion. Messrs. Hogan of Urra, who was committed to the Bridewell of Nenagh, by P. Ryan, officer of rebellion, have obtained their liberty by paying Mr. Ryan the full amount of their Tithe, and 12s. costs. On Thursday Ryan arrested Mr. James O'Meagher, of Toomevara, under a writ of Rebellion, and in the Bridewell, he requested the officer to permit him to sleep at the hotel that night. Mr. Ryan at once acceded to the request and as soon as the National Bank opened next morning, Mr. Meagher discharged the amount of his tithe and costs in full. Summary of Assize Intelligence. Tipperary. The assizes for this county commenced at Clonmel on Monday, before Chief Justice Doherty. After the swearing in of the Grand Jury, a considerable number of burning petitions were send before them. Mr. Hugh Baker, Lismacue, being sworn to a burning petition, that in Dec. last a large rick of hay (His property) was set fire to and consumed. His Lordship asked Mr. Baker what reasons he had to suppose it was a malicious act?. Mr. Baker said he had many reasons and then produced several threatening letters and Rockite notices with which he had been served previously to the burning. Mrs Hill, the widow of the unfortunate Mr. Matthew Hill, who was murdered some time since in the Glen of Aherlow, presented a petition for several ditches of hers which had beem maliciously levelled. Mr. Hill brother of the late Mr. M. Hill, presented a petition. Being sworn, he deposed that his stable and out-houses were burned; on being asked " Had he any reason to know why the malicious act was committed"? he replied, "Yes, because I had assisted in re-building the ditches of the Widow Hill, which had been previously levelled. Many of the Petitioners deposed on oath, that they had reasons to believe that the cause of the burnings, and other malicious injuries done them, was having taken farms contrary to the wishes of those agrarian legislators, so numerous in the County of Tipperary. His Lordship more than once begged the serious investigation of the grand jury into these burning petitions. Mr. William Wright, Killahy Castle, petitioned for malicious injury done to a wood, the property of the late Mr. John Despard, of whom Mr. Wright is administrator and representative. Mr. John Roe, of Rockwell, presented petitions for the malicious burnings of an ash plantation and two houses. The tenants also presented for the furniture and potatoes that were destroyed in the houses. Chief Justice Doherty told the grand jury that they should compensate Mr. Roe for the injury done; but that they should take care not to put the County to an unnecessary expense by paying both the landlord and the tenant. Mr. Rolleston presented a petition from Matthew Ryan, for a robbery committed to the amount of 300s. in cash, together with fire-arms, etc. Chief Justice Doherty said to a few members of the Grand Jury who were in the gallery-"Gentlemen, I have again to entreat your sincere attention to the petitions of every description, in order that the poor people of the country may not be taxed with unnecessary expense, as well as those unfortunate people who really have sustained injuries may be compensated accordingly. It appears to me rather strange, if the County of Tipperary is in that quiet state which it is represented to be, and I sincerely hope it is, that within the short space of four months there should be such a number as sixty-one burning petitions to come before me. A gentleman in the grand jury-box-Where are the members of the Peace Preservation Society? Mr. William Baker presented a petition for some sheep of his that were killed. There were other sheep in the field, but none were killed or injured but his. Witness was a prosecutor at the last assizes, and it was subsequent to the assizes the injury was done. His Lordship did not decide on the case. On Tuesday Patrick Divine and John Leahy were convicted of stealing fire-arms, the property of Christopher Lewis, of Clash, and putting him in bodily fear, at his house in June last. C.J. Doherty, addressing the prisoners, said, "You have committed an offence that endangers your life, but as you did not commit any act of violence, I shall but record sentence of death against you, and recommend you to the Lord-Lieutenant for a milder punishment. " Thomas Heffernan and James Kingilty were indicted for appearing armed by night. Constable M'Carthy and O'Connell deposed that they arrested the prisoners on the night of the 25th of May with a blunderbuss and a pistol. The country was much disturbed at the time. There were several burnings a few night after some armed men came to the Police Barrack and fired some shots. The Jury found the prisoners guilty. C.J.Doherty said, that even taking into consideration that the prisoners could produce characters for industry previous to this act, he felt it his duty, in order to put an end to these acts, which keep the country in a state of disturbance, to sentence them to two years imprisonment and hard labour every alternate week. James (Bradley)Brady, David Luddy, James Hogan, and John Buckley were indicted for breaking into the habitation of James O'Donnell on the 17th of Sept, and committing an assault on him. James O'Donnell deposed, that between 12 and 1 O'Clock at night, a party of men came to his house and broke in the door, and demanded his fire-arms. Witness was in bed. Witness's mother was there also.They asked where the man of the house was. She said he was not in the house that night. They then went to witness's bed and felt him there, and called in some more men. They dragged witness to the floor, and beat him, then brought him into the yard, and beat him with stones, and buried the cock of the pistol in his shoulder. (Identifies the four prisoners.) Would not swear falsely about them no more than the Parish Priest. (Laughter). Witness was a process-server. O'Donnells mother corroborated his evidence. Several witnesses swore to alibis on the part of the prisoners. The Parish Priest, Father Tobin, gave two of the prisoners Buckley and Bradley(Brady) a good character and the prosecuter O'Donnell a bad one. He said he would not believe him on oath. He had to denounce him from the altar. He could not charge him with being convicted of any crime, but he knew him to caluminate many respectable persons in the Parish. Mr. Cusack of Caher, and another witness spoke unfavourable of O'Donnell's character. The Jury acquitted the prisoners. Martin Keherney was charged with aiding in the manslaughter of Thomas Murray at Grange. Edmund and Judy Murray brother and sister of the deceased, deposed that prisoner and their brother had a quarrel in a Public-House,where they fought. Their brother was thrown into a ditch, and the prisoner struck him with a stone. Dr. Bradshaw deposed that Murray's death was caused by an abscess on the brain, caused by a blow of a stone or blunt instrument. The Jury found the prisoner guilty. C.J.Doherty said the prisoner had been mercifully indicted, for he had followed the unfortunate deceased from the house where the quarrel originated, nearly two miles on the road, and there resorted to that deadly and abominable weapon, so much used in this country and killed the unfortunate Murray with a stone. He sentenced him to be transported for life. Richard Tobin and Edward Tobin were indicted for the murder of Richard Fennelly, at Mullinahone, on the 20th of May last. The learned Judge charged the jury at great length, stating that they should not find the prisoners guilty of murder, but there was very strong evidence for their consideration for the crime of manslaughter. The Jury acquitted the prisoners. Mary

Francis Callanan of Keeseville, the guest speaker at last Thursday's lunch- eon meeting of the Au Sable Forks Rotary Club, gave that organization and its guests an all too short talk on the history of Keeseville, as it per- tains to the Callanan family, which arrived in Keeseville from Quebec in 1850. In tracing the family history, the speaker said that his grandparents arrived in Quebec as emigrants in 1850, and that about the time of their arrival Peter Comstock of Black Brook went to Quebec in search of laborers to work in the woods in this section of the Adirondacks. The Callanans and a number of other emigrants were hired by Comstock, and they made the trip from Quebec to Keeseville by land and water. When they arrived in Keeseville one of the party was ill, and they found it difficult to secure a place to stay, the people of that community fearing the man was ill with ship fever or some other communi- cable disease. A physician was called to care for the sick man and he promptly informed the people that there was nothing to fear from the illness; that his trouble was nothing serious. At that time the old stone arch bridge, one of the landmarks of Keeseville was in course of construction, and his grandfather was offered a job getting out stone from the nearby quarry for the structure. The pay was to be 75 cents a day, and with prospects of this "enormous" pay and visions of future untold wealth, he went to work in the quarry, abandoning the thought of going into the woods to cut lumber. Michael J. Callanan, father of the speaker, was born in Keeseville in 1856, and went to school in Keeseville for a few years, but finally forced to abandon school in order to help support the family, getting a job in the horse nail works in that village at $1.25 a week. A little later he went to work for a man by the name of Matthews, learning the tinsmith trade at Matthews' shop, then located where the present Keeseville postoffice stands. At the completion of his apprenticeship he formed a co-partnership with Michael Quinn under the firm name of Quinn & Callanan, Mr. Callanan finally purchasing the interest of his partner in in the business, then located in the stone building adjoining the present office of the Callanan business. Michael Callanan eventually branched out into the contracting business, and from this engaged in several other enterprises, including the laying of the road-bed for the track of the D. & H. from Rogers station through Au Sable Forks and to the plant of the J. &. J. Rogers Company. Among the construction enterprises in which Mr. Callanan was interested was the building of the sulphite and paper mills of the Rogers Company, Hotel Cham- plain at Bluff Point and extensive re- pairs to the state capitol at Albany. Mr. Callanan was one of the principal stockholders of the Keeseville, Ausable Chasm and Lake Champrain railroad, operated between Keeseville and Port Kent. The speaker told of the many vicissitudes of this which finally lead up to its abandonment. He was also a member of the Starks & Callanan Hardware Company, which started in a small way at Saranac Lake and has grown until its whole- sale business covers five counties in this section. The speaker told of many other interesting incidents in the life and business career of his father, who was for many years a famil- lar figure throughout the North Country, and whose word was "as good as his bond" wherever he was known. At the close of his talk the speaker was warmly applauded by the assembled Rotarians, in whose name President V. K. Moore thanked the speaker for his interesting address and expressed the hope that he would again at some future time return to this village as the guest of the club. Thanks for the clippings and keep them coming, Mike McDonald

28-12-1861 From the Times. Some members of the constabulary have been behaving ill in Tipperary. The following is supplied by a correspondent of the Daily express. "A court inquiry, consisting of Sun-Inspectors Bradshaw, Thurles Station; Mullarkey, Borrisoleigh Station, and Nowlan, of Templemore Station, assembled at Drum station in the Borrisoleigh district during the past week by order of the Inspector-General, Sir H.J. Brownrigg. C.B. to try the following Sub-constables-Edmond Foley, Joseph Keenan, James Duggan, and John Hooks, all first class, on the serious charges of conspiracy, disobedience of orders, and general insubordination, preffered against them by the constable in command of the station, H. maguire. The charges have been substantiated and the same reported to the Inspector-General, he immediately ordered the dismissal from the Constabulary of first class sub-constable Foley, and the reduction from the rank of first to that of second class of J. Keenan for 14 months, with the deprivation of two years service: of James Duggan for 14 months,; and of John Hooks for 6 months. Mary

29-12-1815 Cashel Dec. 11th Adjourned Special sessions. Michael Maher was charged as an idle disorderly person, with having concealed arms on the 10th Dec. James Keating, corporal in the Wexford Militia, swore, that on that night, he attended Colonel Pennefather on a search for arms, to the house of the prisoner, that the Colonel demanded arms, as a magistrate once, and they were denied-a second time, and they were denied-and, on the third demand, the prisoner said he had a kind of arms, and the Colonel should have them, he then put his hand into the thatch outside the house, and pulled down a gun barrell, and came from the place. Colonel Pennefather desired witness to search further, and on his saying he was sure there were more where that was, the prisoner returned to the spot, and handed down a second gun barrell, Colonel Pennefather then desired prisoner to deliver up the bell-muzzled gun, cut short, which he had, and prisoner replied, that he had lent it to William Ryan, on the Dublin road, the barrels were in good firing order. On Colonel Pennefather asking for the locks, the prisoner said he had given them to be repaired to an armourer, and he had not got them back. Lieut Colonel Pennefather was examined, and swore that he went, as the last witness had described, to the prisoners house, and corroberated Keatings testimony, with this addition, that he had repeatedly warned Maher of the consequences of denial, if arms should afterwards be found. When the prisoner had given him the first barrel, he drew off from the place, and it was not till after Col. Pennefather ordered another search, and the corporal said he was sure there were more arms there, that the prisoner gave the second barrel. Col. Pennefather asked for the stocks and locks , to which the prisoner said he had been out shooting ducks, and the stock was broke, the lock, he said, had been given to be repaired, and when Col. Pennefather asked him for the second stock, he said he never had but one. To the question of what use was the second barrel, he said he thought one was too short and he intended to solder them together. Col. Pennefather gave Maher a good character. This is the first case, under the insurrection act, upon which there was any shade of difference of opinion. The greater majority were for finding him guilty of concealment, and two only for his acquittal, he was convicted accordingly. But in consequence of the quickness with which it appeared he had given up the arms, the Learned Serjeant, in pronouncing sentence, apprised the man that the bench had determined to make such representation of his case, as should render him the object of Royal clemency, and that he might make himself assured of his pardon. Michael Cashin, a strange labourer, charged with being idle and disorderly, was acquitted. Mary

Clonmel Dec. 16th. The Special Sessions of the peace, under the Insurrection Act, was holden by adjournment in this town, on Saturday last. If we are to form an estimate of the state of the County, from the number of Magistrates on the Bench, or of prisoners in the Dock, we should hope that the peace of this of this immediate neighbourhood is in rapid progress of improvement. The former was not in any great multitude, though they were sufficient to do the business, and the calendar was very slender. Peter Connell was charged with being an idle and disorderly person, out of his dwelling at improper hours, on the night of the 11th inst. Joseph Hannan, a soldier of the North Cork Militia, swore that on the above night, being sentry on the barracks at Clerihan, he apprehended the prisoner there after 1 O'Clock at night. The prisoner was sober, and on being asked where he was going, he answered to his family, who lived between Thurles and Templemore; and Clerihan, he understood, was on the road between those two places. After the witness was relieved, he heard the prisoner say, that he had been a stable boy to one Carrol in Clonmel, that a man who slept with him there charged him with robbing him of a two pound note, and that he was going home in dread of being taken up. This latter part of his account was supported by James Carrol, who keeps a Carman's Inn, and swore that the prisoner, being in his service, was charged by a man who slept there, with robbing him, first of a five pound note, then of a two pound note, and lastly of a one pound note and the remainder of change, This simpleton, after hesitating and entertaining his suspicious of the prisioner for 2 to 3 days, at length determined to satisfy himself assuredly of the delinquent, resorted to a card cutter, who secured his conviction at once, and upon the strength of the card cutters revelation, he swore an information against the stable boy, who seems by his withdrawing to have been as credulous to the infallibility of this juggler as the other. The prisioner had a good character and was acquitted. Thomas Mullowney's case occupied a great length of time, and produced a long and tedious detail of evidence. The fact of his offence (Of being out of his dwelling at improper hours on the night of the 11th inst) was proved by Robert Belville, a constable, who swore that, on that night, he found the prisoner in bed in the house of one Madden, about 4 miles from the prisoners residence, that the prisoners account of himself, was, that he had been married by a Protestant Clergyman, for which the Priest had excommunicated him, and that he was living amongst his friends, and that he had been 6 weeks at Maddens as a servant. The Rev. Charles Tuckey under whose orders Beville went out on that night, swore, that he desired Beville to search Maddens house for improper persons, that he had married the prisoner about 6 months hence, that the Priest had objected to marrying them, without making them pay something by way of mulct?, for their indiscretion, as they had gone off together, that he (Mr. Tuckey) had them called by banns, and married them, that he knows their Parish Priest, and does not believe that he showed them any displeasure afterwards or that he was the cause of Mullowney's absconding. It appeared from a number of witnesses, that this evidence which the prisoners family laboured hard to prove, was quite fictitious, the real cause why he quitted his own house, being, that a warrant had been issued against him at the prosecution of his own mother, for robbing her of corn (whereas the corn and farm were his property, not her's), that he was arrested under the warrant, that he was more active than the constables, and effected his escape, and went to Maddens out of the way. The case was perplexed by his own witnesses, the fabrication of whose testimony seemed to be humanely thrown out of consideration by the bench and he was acquitted. Mullowneys trial was not finished on Saturday, but ran a good deal into the business on Monday, to which day the sessions were adjourned. On Monday, John Hennessy was charged as an idle and disorderly person, with being absent from his dwelling on the night of Saturday, the 9th inst. Samuel Middleton, a constable on duty that night swore that about 10'30 he took up the prisoner, whom he saw without his shoes or hat on, running from a crowd, that was tumultous and noisy, outside the door of one Quinlan's, a publican, who said that the prisoner having no money to pay for drink, he (Quinlan) had taken his shoes and hat in pledge. The prisoner was at that time unable, from the effects of drink, to give any account of himself, but on the next morning, he said, that he had come from Mr. Clutterbuck's neighbourhood to look for work, and that he had lived with his father-this account of himself he gave in English. On his defence, this man produced his brother, a man whose correctness in his testimony was very credible, who swore, that the prisoner was for some time back on and off at his fathers, that on the 9th he came to Clonmel, and told witness that his business was to buy a riding coat, and to get the 5 shillings witness owed him, together with some money owed to him by another, that they parted between 3 and 4 O'Clock, and witness didn't think the prisoner would stay that night. He admitted that he heard his brother absented himself from his own house, near MR. Clutterbuck's, in consequence of a charge against him for attacking a house, and throwing down the chimney of it, on the roadside near Knocklofty, and there was informations against him for that offence. Mr. Vowel, the gaoler, swore that, at the prisoners request, he got an order from three magistrates to apply to Mr. Clutterbuck, to whom the prisoner referred for a character-that he (Mr. Vowel) wrote one letter by post to that effect, and another by the prisoners father, and this old man told him he was sure Mr. Clutterbuck could do no good. The prisoner all through his trial denied his ability to speak english. For the defence, Thomas Murphy, farmer of Gormanstown, swore, that he knows the prisoner since boyhood-that he never heard anything but what was honest of him, except about throwing down the chimney near Knocklofty, which he heard was done by disturbers. Hennessy was convicted. Serjeant Moore, in passing sentence of seven years to Botany Bay upon him, remarked that besided the accusation against him for attacking the house, and in consequence of which the prisoner appeared a fugitive from justice, there appears another felony laid to his charge , under which he is to remain (still of course liable to the present sentence) for trial at the ensuing assizes. John Griffin, who was convicted at the sessions in Clonmel on Oct. 23rd of having concealed arms, was brough up for judgement, the court having taken time for consultation upon his case. It appeared on the trial that one Dwyer, a constable, under the authority of two warrants, directed to him only by Lord Cahir and Milo Bourke, Esq went in search of arms, that he took one Evans, another constable, and a party with him, that within 200 yards of Griffins house. They seperated, Evans going with a party yo Griffins, and Dwyer, the special constabe named in the warrant going to another house. The learned serjeant pronounced the judgement of the law, that the demand by Evans was not so authorised as to make denial to him a crime, and, therefore, upon that point of law, although there could be no manner of question as to Griffins intentional quilt, he was entitled to be discharged, but he was ordered to give security for his good behaviour, himself in 50s and two surities of 25s each. The sessions were then adjourned to Wed 27th of Dec. to be holden in Clonmel. Mary

Michael Cashin, a strange labourer, charged with being idle and disorderly, was acquitted.

3-4-1819 Saturday night at about half past two, Nicholas Kelly and Thomas Carroll, were executed in front of the Waterford County Gaol, pursuant to their sentences at the late Assizes for that County, the former for stealing, on the 5th Dec. last, at Kilmacthomas, a mare bridle and saddle, the property of Edmund Cantwell, of Carrick-on-Suir, Esq. and the latter for stealing a cow, the property of Patrick Lonergan, near Cahir on the 1st of January. They both acknowledged their having participated in the offences for which they suffered, and evinced in their last moments the strongest appearance of penitence and resignation to their unhappy fate. John Power, and William Brien, for the murder of Michael Fleming, stewart of Mr. Grubb, at Clogheen, were hanged at Clonmel on the 26th ult. This murder was a case of the greatest atrocity, and a mode of punishment of the most appalling nature was resorted to, in order to strike terror by a dreadful example, the two offenders were ordered for execution by night, at the new drop in front of the Clonmel Gaol by torch light. This manner of execution has not, we believe, been parctised since the days of the White Boys. Ennis Chronicle. Mary
