Nenagh Guardian. 17th June 1872. Died in Dublin, deeply regretted by a large circle of friends, Robert George Falkiner, Esq. youngest son of the late Richard Falkiner, of Mount Falcon, Borrisokane. Nenagh Board of Guardians ordered last week that the relief given to a sick man, named Denis Ryan, chargeable to Newport Division should be declared a loan chargeable to himself, as it appears he has money in the Bank. Born to the wife of F.J.Williams, Commercial Hotel, Cloughjordan, a son. On Thursday, Dr. McKeogh, assisted by two Messrs. Rowan from Barnagore were called in to attend to a terrible case of skull breaking in the South Riding. The woman was struck a blow which fractured her skull, putting her life in imminent danger. The husband, a farmer, living near the home of the late High Sheriff of the County, has been arrested and lodged in Tipperary Bridewell. John Cushen, Schoolmaster, had Con Callanan, summoned at Thurles Petty Sessions, for £5, which, he alleged, was due to him for teaching Con's son. Mr. Cushen, was however, unable to prove any agreement and the Magistrates dismissed the case without prejudice. Denis Ryan, Summerhill, Nenagh, was sent to the House of Correction for 14 days for being in William Clear's cabbage garden in Summerhill with intent to steal. 18th July 1877. At Nenagh Petty Sessions, Mr. John Kennedy, Relieving Officer, applied on behalf of John and Johanna McNamara, orphan children of the late John McNamara of Castle Street, Nenagh, to have them admitted to Industrial Schools. He told the court that several orphan children had been admitted to Industrial Schools, these children left without father or mother, they had no means of living unless they went into the Workhouse, and the assets left by the father fell short of the debts due. The two children were placed on the table. Mr. Fleming said that the Industrial School was the best place for children such as these. The boy was then ordered to Drogheda Industrial School and the girl to Parsonstown School. In reply to the Chairman, Mr. Kennedy said that the little girl was five years old and the little boy four. Died at Somerton, Ballymackey, at the advanced age of 92 years, Catherine, relic of the late John Joyce, esq., and youngest daughter of the late Simon Pepper, Esq., Lissiniskey, Nenagh. At a Nenagh Board of Guardians meeting, there was a notice to Relieving Officer Kennedy to attend at Ballymackey at an eviction. It was signed by Mr. Nolan, Solicitor, in the matter of Mr. Sadlier Stoney and others, informing the Relieving Officer that in 48 hours after the service of the notice, four persons would be evicted out of the possession of the lands of Ballyknockane, in the Parish of Ballymackey, in virtue of a Civil Bill decree ejectment in the cause. Mrs Lucy Orr, at present infirmary Nurse of Boyle Union, has been elected a nurse at Nenagh Workhouse. If she has any children they will not be allowed to reside with her in the Workhouse. We perceive from an American sporting contemporary that Mr. James A. Goin, VS, formerly of Nenagh and Parsonstown, is rapidly carving a distinguished name for himself in the professional ranks of that go ahead country. Nenagh Board of Guardians was informed that a pensioner named Denis Egan had been admitted to the Workhouse though he was refused by the Relieving Officer. He was beastly drunk at the time and the Relieving Officer felt that his admission to the Workhouse would but be an encouragement to drunkenness. Egan was called and questioned. He could not be stopped from speaking. He had 1/3 a day from Her Majesty for being a good soldier and for his faithful and distinguished service. He had been in five great wars and fought like a lion with his Regiment, the Gallant 18th Irish, once commanded by that distinguished chieftain, the late Lieutenant General Sir William Parker Carroll. He, Private Denis Egan, formerly of the 18th Royal Irish, most of the non-commissioned officers of which were one time Nenagh men, and wasn't he a Nenagh man himself, would tell their Honourable Board that he was not a common pauper. The Chairman then told Egan that he would be admitted to the Workhouse. Egan: "I'll not stay in the place unless I'm let into the Infirmary. I'm none of your common fellows, that anything is good for. I'll pay my way, both at the aiting and the drinking. 4th May 1874. John Power, Butcher. This vivacious and truly comic character, 70 years old, has been removed to Nenagh Infirmary. Forty years ago no strolling player could succeed at Nenagh without John's patronage. He usually did the comic parts himself and he was great among the gallery Gods. In 1839, the Duke of Northumberland, then Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, in passing through Nenagh, en route, to visit Lord Dunalley, John mustered a local force to draw his Grace's carriage from Brundley's Hotel to Ballydine. During the ovation, John Power fell and the Vice Royal carriage rolled over him, maiming him. This evening, the man, Byrne, who was fined today at the Petty Sessions for furious driving, again galloped the horse he was driving, in such a furious manner up through the crowded streets as to cause great danger to the public. At Nenagh Board of Guardians, an infirm pauper complained of unfair treatment which he got at the hands of a man named Cook who made a habit of giving all the fatty portions of meat to him, while he doled out the lean and fancy bits to his favourites. The matter was ordered to be remedied. The man Cook sulked and now the meat will be dispensed by another officer. Thurles can boast of a tradesman who has paid over £11 in fines for drunkenness, since the passing of the new Licensing Act. Births. April 26th at Portumna, to the wife of William Hinds, Esq., manager of the Hibernian Bank, a daughter. At Honeymount, Roscrea, to the wife of Thomas Corcoran, Esq., a son. At Whiteville, Moneygall, to the wife of John Bennett, Esq., late of Oldtown, Templemore, a son and heir. 7th May 1877 Died at Carrigatoher, after a week's illness, in the 65th year of his age, Mr. John McDonnell, for some years Guardian of that division. Died at Ballymassy House, Borrisokane, Mr. Richard Smith, aged 65. At Nenagh Petty Sessions on Saturday, William Healy, a tramp from Limerick, representing himself as a marble polisher, was summoned by Mr. Going, Master of the Workhouse, for getting lodgings in the Workhouse as a tramp. He was let go free on promise of leaving the town at once. At Newport Petty Sessions, Patrick Bourke and Ml. Bourke were returned for trial to the Assizes for assaulting Patrick Frawley and James Frawley coming home from Cully races on March 15th. Mr. Nolan appeared for the prosecution and Mr. Sheppard for the defence. 2nd November 1874. The old woman who robbed Mrs Hill in the Chapel of Newport, was sentenced to two months in prison in Nenagh Gaol, at Newport Petty Sessions. After being sentenced she went on her bare knees, and gave her seven curses to Mrs Hill. For this exhibition in court, she was sentenced to another month in prison. An old woman, Judy Whelan of Clonmore, who was charged at the Nenagh Petty Sessions on Saturday with keeping a Shebeen, admitted that she had whiskey in her house, but it was for her own private use as she couldn't do without it. At one stage during the proceedings she stooped over to the Chairman of the bench, and asked him if he'd let her take a drop out of that bottle of hers the policeman had, as she felt very wake. This modest request caused much laughter in court. She was let off after promising that she'd never sell any whiskey, and anyway, she asked, why would she sell "Coynes" best, when she could get whiskey for half the price if she wanted to sell it. An application made by Mary Molloy to the Thurles Board of Guardians for shoes for her two children, was refused in consequence of there being a rule prohibiting the giving of clothes to any person unless they were in the house a certain time. Richard Edwards of Middleteon, was fined at Nenagh Petty Sessions for leaving his horse without a guide. At Thurles Board of Guardians, Bridget Cummins charged with abusing the Schoolmistress, was severely charged that if ever again charged with a similar offence, she would be turned out of the Workhouse. Sale of house, garden and premises at the old Turnpike in the town of Nenagh, at Carroll's Auction Rooms, Barrack Street, on Thursday, the 26th of November 1874, in two lots. Lot one is held under two fee farm grants, one dated 9th August, 1859, from John Vincent, to Rev. Francis Cleary, and the other dated 2nd May, 1874, from Thomas G. Carmody to Theresa Cleary. There are seven good houses on this lot, with about an acre of prime land. Lot two is held under a Fee Farm Grant dated 2nd May, 1874, from John Albert Vincent to Theresa Cleary.
