22nd March 1875. Deaths. At Grenanstown, Nenagh, in the 74th year of his age, Mr. William Murray. At Ennis Convent, of gastric fever, in the 12th year of her age, Elizabeth, daughter of the late Mr. Patrick Boland, formerly of Castle Street, Nenagh. Margaret Cleary, a small little girl from Glebe Lane, Nenagh, was summoned by Sub Constable Sodan for throwing a fireball after the election of Mitchell. She brought it out of River Lane, where it had been made. The Head-Constable told their Worships that there was not a boy in the town more active at throwing fireballs than the little girl before them. Chairman-If there is another election and should any throwing of fireballs and other such unseemly and offensive demonstrations take place, the Magistrates instead of fining the offenders will send them to prison at once. Margaret Cleary was let off with a fine of one penny. Another Faction Fight. A few evenings since, a faction fight took place at Hollyford, when hard knocks were interchanged generally, and two men were severely beaten. The circumstance was reported to Vere Hunt, Esq., JP of Cappagh, who, accompanied by a medical gentlemen and the Petty Sessions Clerk, proceeded to the scene of the outrage. He found four young men and a young woman suffering from the effects of the injuries they had received, and took their depositions. The life of one of the young men is still in danger. At Borrisokane Petty Sessions on Wednesday, Thomas Hogan had Patt and Dan Hough summoned for knocking him down and kicking him. But Hogan, in court, said that it was a St. Patrick's day occurrence, and he wished to hear no more about it. The bench then allowed them to settle their difference outside the court. At Borrisokane Petty Sessions, Pat Nolan, Anne Farrell, and Martin Kelly were fined 1/- and costs, for allowing their dogs to roam about without logs and muzzles. At the Borrisokane Mills, yesterday, one of the workmen had a narrow escape with his life. He became entangled with a portion of the machinery, but young Mr. Humphries, son to the proprietor, providentially rescued him before he sustained anything worse than the dislocation of some bones in his leg. The sufferer is progressing favourably under the care of Dr. Kingsley. Mr. Going, Master of the Nenagh Workhouse, had a tramp named John Flaherty brought before Mr. H.H. Poe, JP, under the Vagrancy Act. Flaherty was sentenced to one month's prison with hard labour. 3rd May 1875. Lanigan Strikes Again. Tom Lanigan, whose repeated visits to Nenagh Gaol are now proverbial, was brought up in custody at Templemore Petty Sessions charged with having assaulted acting Constable McBeth and Sub Constable Dunne, in the execution of their duty. He also assaulted a man named Lahy upon the same occasion. Lanigan was drunk and disorderly in the street. When the Acting Constable went to arrest him. Lanigan ran at him and gave him a blow in the face, and then attempted to bite Sub-Constable Dunne. It was stated that he had only returned from gaol after being in prison for nine months for a similar assault. The Magistrates decided to sentence him to 20 months in prison, with hard labour. Lanigan---I'll live to put it up and I'll come out to do more. At Thurles Petty Sessions, before the Hon. Bowes Daly, a man from Kylenoe, charged his wife with assaulting him on several occasions and with threatening to take his life. On the last occasion, after throwing everything she could lay hands on at him, she took up a knife and threatened to take his life. The defendant did not deign to put in an appearance in the court, neither was she professionally represented. The bench decided on recording against her, a sentence of one month in prison with hard labour. Another resident has dropped into one of the chasms of Mirzas bridge. On Tuesday the funeral of Mr. Philip Dwyer passed from Knigh to Templederry. It is a long time ago, since Mr. Phillip Dwyer first opened a house in Barrack Street for the retail of spirits, etc. At that time he was patronised by Andrew Bradley, a very eccentric character, great at classics, great at rhymes, but greater than all at imbibing punch. Phil Dwyer served him once with a process, after which Mr. Bradley wrote a string of expostulatory rhymes, which began thus ---- Dear Phil, I think you've treated hard, Poor Bradley, whiskey loving bard. To add to all my other losses. You scald me with a two pound process. He who before, dare tell me Phil, You'd treat me thus with such ill will. I'd call him coward, loon and liar, Who'd dare say "boo" to Phil Dwyer. I'd kick him to the moon and higher. Two pound won't much crease your losses. For Heaven's sake, withdraw that process. 14th Sept. 1891. Married on the 8th Sept. Capt. Coldstream James Carden, fourth son of the late Sir John Carden, Templemore Abbey, to Rose Margaret, daughter of the late David Johnston of Durmburton, New Briswick. Married on the 10th Sept, John, eldest son of the late Michael Casey, Cattle Dealer, Templemore, to Hannagh, daughter of Mr. John Benson, Tullow, Co. Carlow. Died, Sept 16th at Park, Templemore, Mary, widow of the late William Butler. Died Sept 11th Mary Anne, widow of the late Benjamin Cole, of Ballinakill, Roscrea. The interest in a farm of land at Tullamore, near Nenagh, was offered for sale by Mr. Tumpane, auctioneer, at the Town Hall on Wednesday. The farm, held by the reps of the late John Moylan, contained about 53 acres, held at an annual rent of £90. The bidding opened at £400 and was mainly a competition between Mr. Guerin. Solicitor, and Patrick Reidy. The last bid was £605, but was not deemed sufficient, and the property was withdrawn. The tenants on the estate of David Clarke, Esq., at Borrisokane, have we understand, arrived at a settlement. The Landlord has very generously consented to accept conditionally from them four years rent at the present, granting them time to pay off for another, and wiping out two years rent altogether. It is understood that costs will have to be borne by the tenants, who have not paid a penny rent for 7 years. A man named Magrath, living near Burgess, died on the 18th Sept., from injuries received in an assault on the last Pig Fair Day in Nenagh. A man named Donohue is being looked for by the police as being the party who assaulted Magrath, but he is on the run since the occurrence. At Nenagh petty Sessions, John Brindley, Jnr., Old Turnpike, summoned Patrick Toohey, same address for assault. He told the court that on Sunday last he had been in a field on the Birr road, where there were a number of youngsters, the defendant being one of them. The defendant left the field and returned some time later, ordering all out of it. Witness went out on the road, and was assaulted by the defendant and his father. Mr. Corbett, Solicitor, claimed that Brindley was one of a group playing pitch and toss in Toohey's field, that they had been ordered out, but came back later. William Fitzpatrick swore that he saw Brindley being assaulted by the Toohey's. When questioned it emerged that he was courting Brindley's sister. Brindley told the court that Toohey had been playing pitch and toss with them, that he had lost a lot of money, that Toohey had gone home to get more money, but failed to get it. When he came back he ordered them all out of the field. Patrick Toohey told the court that when he went to the field with his father, Brindley asked him to fight. Witness declined and Brindley took him by the coat collar and struck him. Patrick Hogan, a young boy, told the court that he saw Brindley come up the road and approach Pat Toohey, challenge him to come into Hogan's yard, and fight it our. The Magistrate said that Brindley acted in a provocative manner, and should have been prosecuted for trespass. He dismissed the case.
