>From the Nenagh Guardian. 1st Oct. 1894. At Cloughjordan Petty Sessions, John Hanlon, Cloughjordan, was fined 6/- for being drunk and disorderly at Cloughjordan. James Reed was fined 7/3 for a similar offence at Townfields. M. Molloy, Sopwell, was fined 6p for being drunk on the public street. John Hart who hails from Whitewalls, Nenagh was brought up in custody and fined 4/- for being drunk the previous evening on the Public Street. Thurles Petty Sessions. Sergeant John Boyland charged John Corbett of Maunselstown, with keeping a shebeen. Mr. Sayers defended. The Sergeant deposed that when he searched the house, on the 16th inst, he found concealed under a bed, four full and 15 empty porter bottles. Under a table and behind a box he found five full and 3 empty ones. In a press in a room he found 9 bottles of porter. In the kitchen he found an empty quarter cask. Cross-examined he didn't tell me he had the porter for his own use. The defence was that Corbett had purchased the porter for his own use, and intended it for the cutting of his hay, and the drawing home of his turf. A man named Lahey, a labourer, deposed that he was four days cutting defendant's hay, and each day he drank three bottles of porter supplied gratis by defendant. As to the empty cask defendant stated that some of the neighbouring boys subscribed for it, and drank it at a dance which was held in his house with his permission. This statement was also corroborated by the young man who bought the quarter cask. Their worships said the case looked a suspicious one, but they would give the defendant the benefit of the doubt and dismiss it. The announcement of the death of Mr. Rody Spain, Barrack Street, Nenagh at the premature age of 26 years, will be read with deep regret by his numerous friends and admirers. The sad event occurred early on Monday morning last, after a very short illness during which he was attended by Drs Henry F. Powell and R. Morton of Nenagh and Surgeon Myles of Dublin. Deceased who was the second son of Mr. Charles Spain, Castle Street, endeared himself to everyone by his many good qualities, and although he died young in years, his memory will not soon be forgotten by those who had the privilege of knowing and loving a sterling nationalist and genial companion. 7th May 1894. On Tuesday morning a police pensioner named Fogarty dropped dead suddenly outside his lodgings in New Street. He was apparently a healthy man, and did not recently complain of any ailment. At the horse fair on Tuesday in Thurles, a man named Patrick Dunne, from Gortnahoe met with a very serious accident, by falling off his horse against the kerb in Cathedral Street, his horse falling on him. He sustained such severe injuries over his right eye and such a shock to the system that he had to be conveyed to hospital unconscious, suffering from concussion of the brain. The assistant Sub-Sheriff for Tipperary accompanied by some bailiffs and a protection party of police, on Saturday visited the town land of Kilnaneave, about three miles from Nenagh, and evicted a tenant farmer named John Haugh, with his wife and 10 children for non payment of rent. Haugh held 35 acres of land from a Mr. Haire of London, the rent being £26 and the valuation £22. A caretaker is in occupation of the place. Dr. Quigley J.P. attended at the Police Barrack on Monday last, and adjudicated in some cases in which parties found under the influence on the previous day were charged by Acting Sergeant Reidy and Constable Eggleston. One thirsty soul, named Reynolds, was let off with a fine of 5/- while his brother in adversity, named Cooney, who hails from Limerick and was mulcted in a similar fine, was about leaving the Barrack when he indulged in some offensive expressions to the magistrate and constabulary. His worship had the delinquent re-arrested, and after administrating a severe reprimand for his ingratitude after being so leniently dealt with, ordered that he be sent to her Majesty's Lodging house in his own city for 7 days. Cooney kissed hands to his worship and was removed to the lockup, from where he was send to Limerick. 15th Oct. 1894. Born on the 11th Oct, at Lahesseragh, Kilbarron, to the wife of Mr. Daniel Gleeson, a son. To the wife of Mr. Charles McLoughlin, R.I.C. at Grace's Street, Nenagh, a son. Thomas Ryan of Kilcommon was found dead on the roadside near his home on Wednesday last. A man named Carmody, living near Capparoe, has reported to the police that a rick of hay his property, was maliciously set on fire and consumed a few evenings ago. With extreme regret we have to announce this evening the death of Mrs Mary Flaherty, of Rathnaleen. The sad event, which took place early this morning, was not wholly unexpected, as the good old lady, who had nearly reached the century was confined to her room for some time past. Her husband William, predeceased her about 25 years ago. The funeral will leave at 2 o'clock tomorrow for Lismoney cemetery. The Affray at Brocka. Before Mr. Joseph Madden, sitting on Tuesday as Vacation Judge, Mr. C. Doyle, (instructed by Mr. A. Nolan and Mr. J. O'Farrell) applied that Joseph Bowles and Francis Tully, at present in custody in Birr jail, should be allowed out on bail. The prisoners had been returned for trial at the next Assizes by the Borrisokane Magistrates on the charge of murdering Michael Callaghan, who was the caretaker on an evicted farm at Brocka, on the 16th of last month. Counsel read the depositions made at the sessions by Mrs Callaghan and her two daughters, which have already appeared in the papers. It was sworn by Mrs Callaghan that Bowles was the man who struck Callaghan with a crowbar and fractured his skull. Francis Tully was identified as endeavouring to take the gun from Callaghan after the latter had shot a young man named Kelly. Mr.Nolan (instructed by Mr. George Bolton, Crown Solicitor), resisted the motion which was refused. The two servant girls Desmond and Donovan, lately in the service of Surgeon Major Fox at Birr Barracks, whose room was broken into by several officers, it is alleged, in the course of an nocturnal "lark", have instituted actions for damages against 8 defendants, including the Earl of Huntingdon, fixing the venue at Cork. At the last Moneygall Petty Sessions the magistrates present were:T. Stoney, in the chair, G.J.Minchin D.L. and Major Craddock. District Inspector Hannen was also present. At the suit of Sergeant Ashe, Pat Dunne was fined 10/- and costs, for being drunk while in charge of a horse, and George Lee summoned George Hyland for trespass of 28 turkeys on turnips, oats, onions, and pasture land. He was fined 1/8- and costs. At the suit of Thomas O'Meara, Esq. Patrick Hall was fine 4/6- and costs for the trespass of nine head of cattle on pasture land, and same complainant had some defendant up for the trespass of 55 sheep. He was fined 9/2- and costs, and on another similar charge the defendant was fined in a like sum. 14th May 1894. A very sad case has occurred in Portumna, where a constable of the RIC has become insane. The Constable was only stationed in Portumna for about six months, and a few weeks ago was sent to an evicted farm a few miles from the town. A short time since the constable accidentally cut his finger, and allowed a dog to lick it. It is believed that the animal was mad at the time, and that the unfortunate man is the victim of hydrophobia. On Saturday he became so violent that he had to be tied down with ropes and removed to Ballinasloe Lunatic Asylum. The case is a peculiarly sad one, as arrangements had been made for his marriage which was to have come off on Thursday last. John Purcell, of Gurtkelly, had summonses against Michael Gleeson, of Ballyboy, for trespass of cattle on his pasture. The trespass having been proved, a decree for the ordinary rate, with costs, was granted. Patrick and Peter Kennedy (brothers) had John Ryan, Knocknakilla, and Michael Kennedy, of Foilnacanuy, summoned for assaulting them at Knocknakilla, on the 16th of April last. Michael Kennedy had a cross summons against Pat Kennedy for an assault committed on him on the same occasion. Mr. Corbett, Solicitor, Nenagh appeared for Ryan and Kennedy. The brothers Kennedy, were not professionally represented. The court was engaged for a considerable time with those cases and ultimately arrived at the conclusion of binding Pa Kennedy, Ryan, and Michael Kennedy, to the peace for 12 months. Sergeant Nally had Michael Martin and Thomas McCarty summoned for being drunk. Fined 2/6 and 12/6, respectively, with costs. He also summoned Tom Ryan for allowing his dog to be at large, fined 5/- and costs. Constable Bennett summoned Michael Maher and Matthew Ryan, of Rathcarden, the former for being drunk and disorderly, and the latter for drunkenness. Maher was sent to jail for 14 days, Ryan was fined 5/- and costs. It is with sincerest sorrow we have this evening to announce the death of Miss Maryanne Spain, which sad event took place yesterday at 61, Castle Street, Nenagh, in the 30th year of her age, after a long illness, deeply and deservedly regretted for her many amiable qualities. Deceased was the eldest daughter of Mr. Patrick Spain of Lisgarode, near Nenagh, for whom the greatest sympathy is felt, as this is the fifth bereavement he has met within a very short period. Her remains will be removed at two o'clock tomorrow (Sunday) for interment at Cloughprior. We regret to announce the death this evening of Mrs Mary Cuddihy, widow of the late Mr. Darby Cuddihy, of Barrack Street, and mother of John Cuddihy, Harness-Maker, Pound Street. The deceased had reached the ripe age of close on 80 years. The Queen at the prosecution of George Gettings charged John Whelan, a labourer, with having attacked his dwelling house on the 12th of Feb., last, broken his door, and assaulted himself. Whelan's defence was that he had drink taken at the time, that he stumbled and fell against the door, which went in from the force of the fall. The complainant, in reply to the chairman, stated that this was not true, as a stone was thrown against the door, which broke it, and put it off the hinges. The door fell in about the house, and he then went out and saw the defendant, and send his wife to fetch the police, while his wife was away the defendant assaulted witness. Constable Lee was sworn, and gave evidence that he and Constable Wallace were called to Gettings on the night of the occurrence, and brought Whelan into a neighbours house for the purpose of identification. The bench imposed a fine of 10/- and 2/6 costs.
