9th July 1877. Sir Mark Tuite, Bart, Kilruane House, is in the process of completing a flying machine by which he hopes to reach China, India, America or any point on the Globe in a given time. Sir Mark has promised the people of Nenagh a view of his first public trial of his aerial machine. Letter to the Editor of the Nenagh Guardian. Dear Sir, It is dreadful to see the number of beggers which infest our town, and it is pitiable that a large portion of them are little children, who go about by themselves and importune you at every door, thus sowing seeds which will often ripen into vagabondism or perhaps end on the gallows. I believe this is in a great measure to the widespread and increasing amount of outdoor relief given by the Nenagh Board of Guardians. The parents are not able to support their families on the sums they receive and must supplement it by the destruction of their offspring. Something ought to be done to prevent this. Yours. An Inhabitant. A tramp hailing from Tipperary, giving his name as Michael Ryan was sentenced to two months in prison with hard labour. This fellow attempted to maltreat Mr. Kennedy, Relieving Officer, because he did not give him money. He also assaulted Sub. Constable Molloy. At Nenagh Petty Sessions in the case of Michael Gleeson against John Brien of Mucklin, for wilfully throwing complainant of his turf bank, Mr. Gleeson appeared for the complainant and Mr. McGrath for defendant. Mr. Fleming, Chairman, said that these turf banks disputes should be left to the Landlord or Agent over the property. Lord Dunalley was the Landlord. He was a good man and always took great pains to settle disputes between his tenants. The case was then referred to Mr. Maude, Agent over the property. A Medical Officer belonging to the Thurles Union had last week to attend a child of a farmer "gratis" on a dispensary ticket. The farmer in question owns over 30 acres of land and is in comparatively comfortable circumstances. Members of the Dispensary Committees should be more cautious as to how they issue such tickets. A meeting is being held next week in Ryan's Hotel, Thurles to make arrangements for establishing a "Tipperary Independent Club". We are not clear as to what its purpose will be. 2nd June 1873 At Nenagh Petty Sessions Con Larkin summoned Stephen Liberty for overholding a house in the Old Turnpike, Nenagh, in which locality, both plaintiff and defendant are habitués. Mr. Nolan for the defendant said "My client never paid a penny rent to this man. This old man married a widow and now seeks to establish tenancy to the house and rob the children-(To the complainant)-Now isn't that right old boy." Old Boy-I don't know which. The case being dismissed "the old boy's" wife, on leaving the table, thanked their honours for not giving her husband the house. Married on Wednesday, Thomas O'Shea, Esq., of Brunswick Street, Dublin to Catherine, second daughter of Mrs Menton, Main Street, Killaloe. Married at the Dominican Chapel, Limerick, by the Rev. P. McInerney, Mr M. Fitzgerald, Bantiss, to Bridget, third daughter of the late Timothy Kenna, Ballylusky. Phillip L. Lyster of Ballyartella Mills, Nenagh, has been adjudged bankrupt. "Those invitations to battle are well understood in Tipperary", said Mr. Gore Jones, at Thurles Petty Sessions, when a defendant, Martin Martley, Cassertown )Probably Cassestown but Cassertown in paper) was sentenced to one month in prison with hard labour for using threatening language to Edward Gleeson. Complainant proved that on the 3rd inst, Martley when passing his door shouted out "Come out now, rotten Gleeson." The assizes for North Tipperary, just closed, has been distinguished by a favourable circumstance which was never before known to follow any previous Assizes held at Nenagh-the commission closed without a single person being sentenced by the Judge, even to one day's imprisonment in the County Gaol. Such a circumstance speaks well for the people of North Tipperary, and it also impresses one with the fact that the local administration of justice has been carefully carried out by the Magistrates, and that the Police have discharged their duties in an effective manner. A District Court Martial has been held at the Templemore Barracks on Private Thomas Cowan, of the 29th Regiment, a most refractory and incorrigible character, on whom Court Martials have been held on four previous occasions and punishment awarded. In this instance the sentence is 168 days in prison with hard labour, at the end of which he is to be ignominiously expelled from the Regiment. 2nd June 1879. At Nenagh Petty Sessions in the case of Sub-Constable Timothy Carr against Patrick Power Sen., and Patrick Power, Jnr., for knowingly issuing base coin. Timothy Heenan, assistant in Miss Tumpane's shop, gave evidence of the effect that the defendant's got a naggin of whiskey, and tendered a base half-crown in payment, the man said he got it in Cuddihy's shop. The senior defendant said he did not know what he was doing he was so drunk, he had been drunk the two previous days and he could not tell from whom he got the bad half crown. The Chairman said there was a great deal of base coin at present in circulation through the town. The sub-constable had Power, Jnr., summoned for aiding and abetting. As he left the shop before his father had tendered the base half-crown the case was dismissed against him. In the father's case informations were ordered to be sworn. On Monday three men named Cross-a father and two sons-were waylaid and savagely assaulted at Singland (the famous black battery of the 1689 Siege of Limerick) by neighbours named Hannen and Cunneen, who were determined to revenge an old grudge. The assailants have been arrested by the police.
