>From the Nenagh Guardian. 4th June 1877. At Newport yesterday, a man rode through the village on a bull. A crowd congregated to witness this novel sight. Private Walls and Feehan, of the 99th Regiment, stationed at Templemore, have each been sentenced to 21 days in prison with hard labour for the larceny of 1s 3p worth of whiskey. They are at present in Nenagh Gaol. The Magic Pen. Requires no ink, black, blue, violet or red. Price 3p each. These pens are highly recommended. Constable Ryan of Puckane brought up an old man at Nenagh Petty Sessions, having apprehended him at half past one in the morning, in the act of stealing hay from Thomas Rochford, Esq. Mr. Fleming asked if Mr. Rochford prosecuted. The Constable said he did not, but hay stealing had become to common. Mr. Rochford who was in court, said that he did not want to prosecute the offender. Mistaken identity. The Pat Ryan, Portroe who was given down in our last edition as being send to gaol for 24 hours for drunkenness on Friday, should have been Pat Ryan of Newtown, who had been out in India soldering and suffers from sunstroke. The death has taken place at Baltimore, Maryland of Patrick Healy, a native of Cloughjordan. June 4th 1894. Born on May 31st, at Springfort Cottage, Nenagh, a son to the wife of Mr. Christopher O'Brien. Married on May 21st at Puckane Catholic Church, by the Rev. Father Gavin, Patrick Keane to Elizabeth, second daughter of the late Mr. James Murphy, Ashley Park, Nenagh. On Monday evening at about 5 O'clock, Acting Sergeant Mahony arrested a man named John Ryan, of Cormackstown, a farmer, on a charge of having a short time previously dangerously wounded a young man named W. McGrath by stabbing him with a penknife in the side of the throat. It appears that previous to the occurrence there had been a row between the parties concerning an account when Ryan, as alleged, drew the knife, opened it, and stabbed McGrath in the throat. The prisoner was brought before Colonel J. Prendergast, J.P., and remanded in custody till next petty session. The injured man McGrath although progressing slowly, is still very weak. On Sunday last a girl named Mary Quinlisk was playing on the green convenient to the old house at Brookwatson, when she perceived smoke issuing through one of the windows. She steadily approached the window and observed three young men inside. She ran and apprised Mrs Cullen who is caretaker of the park, and both returned to the house. Just as they entered they saw one of the men with the carcase of a fowl in his hand, which he had lifted from the embers as soon as he heard the footsteps approaching, and then threw it towards the rear of the house. The little girl observed that it was one of her mother's ducks, whereupon the young man replied that it was a water hen or crane. Some other observations were made, but who should chance to come upon the scene but Constable Essleston, who having heard the youngsters story, proceeded to search the premises, and found two or three carcases of fowl, which were half roasted. He arrested the three young men who later in the evening were taken in charge by a party of constables under Constable Culleton. They were remanded to Petty Sessions but were allowed out on bail. 7th June 1875 At Thurles Petty Sessions, Mr. W. Carry, Thurles applied to have two children admitted to the Industrial School at Thurles. He found them wandering about the street on the previous evening. They were admitted. A lad named Delaney, aged about 9 years, died at Garryard, Silvermines, from a surfeit of unripe fruit. An inquest was held before Mr. Meagher, Coroner, when a verdict to the above effect was returned. It is with the most unfeigned regret we have to record the death of that much loved and respected officer, John Anderson, Esq., late County Inspector of the North Riding of this county. He died at the residence of his son-in-law, John Exshaw, Esq., Ballyhaden, Borrisokane, surrounded by his afflicted widow, daughter and grandchildren. He served for a long period in the RIC, and throughout his life, he was distinguished as a fine and polished gentleman, possessed of noble, upright and honourable feelings. He was an ornament to the force. His only son Major John Anderson, of her Majesty's 19th Regiment, is now serving in India. John Jones, Esq., RM, who has been for nearly forty years stationed in the Thurles district, has been removed to County Cavan. The vacancy caused by his removal will not be filled up. The death has taken place, at her residence, Castle Street, Nenagh, at the ripe old age of 81 years, of Mrs Honora Cahalan, mother of Dr. Cahalan, of Nenagh and Dr.M.J. Cahalan, Thurles. Births. At Gortmore Cottage, to the wife of Christopher Keys, Esq., a son. At Boveen House, Sharavogue, Roscrea, to the wife of Frederick Hayes, esq., a son. To the wife of George H. Jackson, Esq., of Raplagh, Nenagh, a son. May 28th, at the Bank House, Nenagh, to the wife of John Morton, esq., a daughter. H.D. O'Callaghan, Sub. Inspector, now of Strabane, County Tyrone, and formerly of Nenagh, has been promoted from 2nd class to 1st Class Sub. Inspectorship. This step increases his pay from £169 to £225. Mr. O'Callaghan joined the force in October 1861. On Thursday evening, a man named John Heenan, living at a place called Grange, near Lorrha, met with a melancholy accident which terminated fatally on Friday. Heenan who held a couple of acres of land possessed some hives of bees, and on Thursday two took flight and pitched on an ash tree near the residence of Francis Palmer, Esq., Grange House. Heenan got a ladder at Mr. Palmer's, and missing his hold, he immediately fell to the ground, a distance of about 16 feet, on his back. He lingered until the following day, when he died. He was attended by Dr. Boxwell, who from the first looked upon the case as hopeless. Heenan leaves a wife and four children to mourn his loss. 7th June 1886. Mr. George Power-Lalor, of Long Orchard, was summoned by Constable Costigan at Templemore Sessions for having discharged a loaded gun on the public road at Templetuohy on May 25th. The accused was represented by Mr. Arnold Power, Solicitor, Thurles, who put in a plea of guilty on his behalf. As the Magistrates were unable to perceive any mitigating circumstances in the case, they imposed the maximum penalty of ten shillings and costs. At Roscrea Union there was letter from the local Government Board stating that the expenses incurred in sending boy Walsh to Paris for treatment by M. Pasteur for hydrophobia must be charged in accordance with the chargeability of the boy as an inmate of the workhouse. A resolution was unanimously passed asking the Local Government Board to allow the charge to be put to the entire union, as the expense was for the public good. At Nenagh Guardians it was reported that a pauper named Bridget Quilligan had left the the house on the previous Friday, to bring home a child of hers which had been under treatment in St. Mark's Hospital, Dublin, and repeated by the Doctor to be cured. Neither mother nor child has been heard of since, She had on the workhouse clothing. Yesterday the Sheriff's representative and his assistants, accompanied fifty members of the RIC under District Inspector Royce, Roscrea, and Major Waring, RM., evicted Daniel Quirke, Publican and Farmer, Silvermines, from a dwelling house in the village and from land he held at Lahid, Cooleen, Falleengower, and Clonnihasha. Quirke owed £9-18-0 rent for the year and a half, with £13-16-10 costs. As expected there was a large gathering of sympathisers at the eviction. The Silvermines Pipe and Drum band was in attendance, and the Rev. Mr. Cunningham delivered one of his usual speeches. The evicting party then proceeded to Windygap, and disposed James Murphy from part of the lands of Cooleen South and Coonagillach. Murphy did not live on the land, He owed £18 rent for a year and a half, with £3-16-0 costs. The gathering here was but a small one, in fact it was not what could be called a sympathetic demonstration. The only assault was when some fellow from the gathering struck Thomas Tobin, the landlord's caretaker, with a stone on the head. The injury is not serious. Possession having been taken the Sheriff's party returned home. There was a great deal on rain on the day. The reason of such a large force of police being in attendance, is that the law should not be defaulted by intimidation or obstruction. A short time ago the Queen's writ was set at defiance in Portroe, on account of the number of persons assembled and they being led on by some Catholic Clergymen. At Nenagh Petty Sessions, Matthew McGrath , summoned James Gleeson of Garryard for wilful misbehaviour on the road at Kilmore, and interfering with free postage while travelling on a car on the night of May 23rd. McGrath had a second summons against Gleeson for assaulting him at Silvermines on the same day. James Gleeson had McGrath summoned for assaulting him on the same occasion at Kilmore. Mr. Nolan appeared for McGrath, and Mr. Gleeson, Solr., for James Gleeson. It appears that while the parties were travelling home from Nenagh, had a sort of racing competition for a gallon of porter when the scrimmage took place. McGrath's evidence gave rise to a great deal of laughter, he admitted he struck Gleeson in return, and also that when Gleeson came to the Silvermines to him, he used abusive language, when he gave him a stroke of a sod of turf which he happened to have handy in his hand. Gleeson broke into the house and he had to have turned out. They had a few boxes before he could turn him out. Witnesses were examined on both sides, following which McGrath's case was dismissed. A half crown and costs were ruled against McGrath on account of the sod of turf.
