Nenagh Guardian. 17th Sept 1877. At Mullaunbrack within two miles of Thurles a process server from Nenagh and a Bailiff who were serving ejectments on five tenants, were attacked by a group of women. The Amazons after giving the Bailiff a good pounding, raised him bodily of the ground and carried him to a large pool of stagnant and putrid water in which they immersed him. Upon escaping from his assailants, he rushed to the police in Thurles, who accompanied him to the scene of the outrage. No arrests were made as it is said he cannot identify any of the women. Born to the wife of Mr. James McCutcheon, of Castle Street, Nenagh, a son. Born to the wife of Mr. J.D. Harkness, also of Castle Street, a daughter. An amorous Nenagh widower, "A knight of the thimble" was served as we have been informed with a notice to the subjoined effect by a widow holding a farm, who alleges that he promised to make her his wedded wife. To Mr. ---, I hereby give you notice that unless you marry me within one month from the service of this notice, I will take an action for £100 against you for breach of promise of marriage you made to me on the 19th of last month. On Saturday evening last a young woman named Winifred Hogan fell off a chair while sitting in her kitchen and broke her leg above the ankle. She was brought to the infirmary where she is progressing favourably under Dr. Minnitt's treatment. John Dolan, James Carroll, T. Hobbins and Peter Bolan were charged by the Constabulary with fighting and disturbing the peace on Sunday at Borrisokane. They were fined 1/- each with costs. 16th Sept. 1872. The marriage took place on the 16th Sept, at Tipperary Church, performed by Ven. Arch Deacon Bell, assisted by the Rev. J.B.Wilson, of Adam Prior, Esq., proprietor of the Guardian, to Maggie, daughter of John Andrews, Esq. Tipperary, and grand-daughter of the late Nathaniel Pennefather Sadlier, Esq. No cards please. The inmates of the local workhouses, to whom Australian meat has been served lately, have adopted the arbitrary course of refusing to eat it any longer. On the days when the meat is served, they make their dinner of potatoes alone, and in consequence more than half the quantity has to be thrown into the pig tub. At Borrisokane Petty Sessions last week, Pat Donoghue was fine 1/- and costs for winnowing corn on the public road. At the land sessions at Thurles yesterday, before the chairman of the county, in the case of Bridget Ryan against T. Ryan his Worship ruled that if a man overheld land after getting a notice to quit, he forfeited any claim to compensation for disturbance. The mother of two small boys now in the Nenagh Workhouse, send 6 shillings worth of postage stamps to the Nenagh Board of Guardians in the hope that the Board would send her children to her in Manchester. They refused until such time as the full sum of money is paid. 18th September 1871. Thomas Geeran, born at Scariff, Barony of Tulla, County Clare, on May 14th 1766, is very ill at the Brighton Infirmary, Sussex. Now in his 106th year, he was present at the capture of Seringapatum in 1699 (Misprint, should be 1799). At Corunna in 1809 he received two gunshot wounds. He escaped through Waterloo and entered Paris with the victorious army. In 1812 he was invalided without any pension. Deaths. September 16th at Clonmel, Elizabeth, youngest daughter of the late Arthur Cashel, Esq. of Borrisokane. At an advanced age at the residence of Mrs McNamara, Castle Street, Nenagh, Mr. Martin Delaney, Silver Street, and old and well known inhabitant. At his residence, Silver Street, Mr. Edward McDonnell, engine driver on the Great Southern and Western Railway. John Cahill, who belongs to some religious order requiring him to wear a star of sticking plaster on his forehead, was sentenced to one month in prison at Roscrea Petty Sessions last week for throwing stones into Ward's house. Edward Dunne, a farmer in Grange, holding under a short lease from Mr. Henry Badcock, has been offered, by a party from the Newport District, £320 for a farm of 24 acres Irish plantation measure. Mr. Coughlan, brother of Mr. Coughlin, Castle Street., made an offer of £300 for the farm, the rent of which is, we believe, 30/- an acre. The sale has not been consummated owing, we understand, to the opposition of some of Mr. Dunne's family. A man named Gleeson, employed at the Slate Quarries, very nearly lost his life yesterday when a beam of timber fell on his head. He was attended by Dr. McKeogh. 10th May 1886. Moneygall Sessions. The only case of interest was that of Ex-Sergeant Carney against Thomas and John Reynolds, father and son, for using threatening and abusive language, calculated to provoke a breach of the peace, on April 25th. The evidence of the complainant was to the effect that the defendants called him an Orangeman and a land grabber. The son raised the stick over his head. The bench let the father off with a strong caution, and ordered him to give two sureties of £5 each, and himself in £10, to keep the peace for 12 months. The complainant's offence is that he took a garden from which the Reynold's had been evicted, and is consequently under a state of boycottism. Sergeant Riordan of Dunkerrin summoned Pat Cashin and Dan Reilly for assaulting a man at Dunkerrin on Easter Monday, while returning from the athletic sports at Frankfort. The case being proved, the defendants were fined 10/- and costs. Marriages. April 29th 1886, at Monkstown Church, Dublin, by the Rev. E. M. Rambant, MA, Incumbent of Christ Church, Blackrock, John Travers Robinson, Esq., second son of Augustus D. Robinson, Esq., of Cloughkeating, Borrisokane, to Fanny, only surviving daughter of the late Robert Robinson, Esq. Knockshegowna. Deaths. April 30th 1886 at Castle Lough, Margaret, widow of the late Rev. Standish O'Grady Parker, late of Castle Lough. April 28th at Templemore, William Fogarty, T.C. age 65. May 3rd after a lingering illness, Eva Dorcas, beloved wife of Thomas McCarthy of Kilgade, Ballymackey, aged 52 years. 10th May 1880. On Monday evening Mrs Emma Hill, nurse at Clifton, near Shinrone, dropped dead while drinking a cup of tea. Yesterday an inquest was held before Mr. Meagher, Coroner. On the evidence of Dr. McLoughlin, the jury returned for verdict, "died of heart disease". On the evening of the 27th ult., between 9 and 10, a party of 14 men, the majority of them armed with guns and pistols, attacked the dwelling house of a widow named Mary Maher, living in the town land of Moyaliffe, near Thurles. They found the door locked, and demanded admittance, which was refused. They broke a portion of the door and wrenched off two iron guard bars of the room window. Having raised the window, seven of them entered the room, where a youngster was concealed and carried her off, it is alleged, against her will. Her mother and her brothers and sisters vainly endeavoured to prevent her abduction, the leaded of the party threatening any one who would interfere with his taking the girl away. The matter was subsequently reported to the police at Moyaliffe Station and two men named McHugh and Stapleton were arrested. McHugh was identified by the widow as being one of the party and has been remanded to Tipperary Bridewell, the other prisoner was discharged. The mother and brother have sworn informations against one William Maher as being the leader of the party. It appears that some time previously asked the girl in marriage, and was refused. A warrant has been issued for his arrest but up to the latest accounts neither he nor the girl have been traced. It is with deep and sincere regret we have to record the death of Henry Owen Saunders, J.P., who was a very much respected and popular gentleman. He left this life for a better world in the 75th year of his age, last Friday evening at his residence, Killavalla, Borrisokane. The renowned "Bansha Peelers" had a gala day on Monday having no less than about 20 cases, the majority being for goats found wandering by them when on duty and patrolling, etc. Mary Quirke had Michael Maher summoned for an assault by striking her with a stick. The parties are neighbours but from their demeanour today it is unlikely Mike will break one portion of the Tenth Commandment. The assault originated about the trespass of cattle. He in retaliation made her "smart" by several blows of his "wottle" on the head and back, and he was made "smart today" by being fined 10/- and costs together with being bound to the peace. The latter part of the sentence he feels more degrading. At Newport Petty Sessions, Head Constable Close summoned a rambling tinker from Kilkenny, named O'Driscoll, and had him fined 10/- and costs. The same defendant was fined 1/- and costs for hawking about his tinware without being licensed. Mrs O'Driscoll was fined 2/6 and costs for staggering in the footsteps of her Lord.
