>From the Nenagh Guardian. 6th Sept 1875. Denis Toohey was fined 1/- for being drunk, at Borrisokane Petty Sessions. Toohey, who is a feeble old man, thought the softest place he could make a bed for himself was in the front of the Barrack door, when he regularly stripped off and was preparing for a sound sleep, when disturbed by Constable Burbage, and placed in a drier, if not warmer place. Some of the Nenagh Publicans have been cautioned by the police that if they open their shops before 7 O'clock for the sale of spirits to labourers, congregating at the Market Cross, they will be summoned and fined for doing so. Death of George Ryan, DL. The remains of this estimable gentleman were consigned to their lasting resting place yesterday, in the old burial ground at Inch. Seldom has death removed one so widely and deservedly regretted. He always displayed himself as the true type of an Irish Country Gentleman. On the Bench even the delinquent respected him. On the Thurles Board of Guardians he always took great solicitude in the welfare of the poor inmates. He was a member since its formation. Died on the 7th Sept, at Ballyrickard House, Nenagh, Frederick Evans, esq., aged 72 years. Died on the 3rd Sept, at Inch House, Thurles, George Ryan, Esq. D.L. aged 84 years. There is an old man residing in the Parish of Aglish, whose name is John Kennealy, and who on Monday last celebrated his 102nd birthday. He was in Waterford on Saturday and was to be seen during the day doing his little marketing quite hale and hearty. The following paupers were admonished by the Nenagh Board of Guardians, Anne Lyons, for disobedience of orders and using offensive language. Hanoria Ryan, for breaking into the female school, and preventing her child from taking medicine. Mary Perkins for leaving her own ward and attempting to force her way into the Infirmary. Boston has a clever Pauper who can solicit alms in ten different languages. Spelling Bee in Roscrea. First prize in the above competition was divided between Mrs Beggs, Chesterfield, Parsonstown, and Miss Sheppard, daughter of F. Sheppard, Esq., Solicitor. Miss Ryan, a national teacher was the winner of the second prize. 27th Oct. 1879. Confession of a Publican. At the General Licensing Sessions held at Ennis on Thursday, before his Honour, County Court Judge Kelly--The Right Hon. Lord Dunboyne, who occupied a seat on the Bench, made an extraordinary statement relative to the confession of a Publican named Slattery, who had been in affluent circumstances some years ago in New Market-on-Fergus. His Lordship said that Slattery told him one day that he never expected to get to Heaven because he had poisoned so many people. He had, he said, to buy one gallon of whiskey and one quart of water, and one quart of vitriol, to which he would add 12 quarts of water, and the mixture turned out 14 gallons of pure whiskey (laughter). He wished to relate the confession made to him for the benefit of the public. His Lordships remarks were listened to with great interest by a crowded court. Mr. John Cunneen, of Nenagh, got the contract at a recent meeting of the Board of Guardians, for supplying ten tons of fresh oaten straw at £1-4-9 per ton. Mr. Denis Brien got the contract for the erection of a sewer in Stafford Street, Nenagh, and also for opening up and cleaning out, and the repairing of the sewer from Mr. John Moylan's house in Church St. to Mr. Brian Moylan's house in Barrack Street. At the Roscrea Petty Sessions, Timothy Delaney, Newtown, was fined 5/- and costs for selling porter in his unlicensed house, and two men, found drinking in it, 2/6 each. Births. At Ballyknockin House, Templetuohy, the wife of John Thomas Bradshaw, Esq., of a son. Oct. 24th at Ferns Cottage, Nenagh, the wife of Charles Creagh Langford, Esq., of a daughter. Oct. 21st at Nenagh, the wife of Mr. P. Costello, of a son. At Lisanerin, the wife of Stuart Purves, of a daughter. 25th March 1872. Annie McDonald applied to the Roscrea Board of Guardians belonging to her mother-in-law, who died in the Hospital. Consideration of the application was deferred until it is ascertained whether there is any nearer relative likely to look for them. Thomas Lanigan yet again. Thomas Lanigan of Templemore, was once again charged at Templemore Petty Sessions, with having assaulted a man on Monday evening last. Sub-Constable Taylor deposed that on Monday evening, he saw Lanigan fighting a country man in Georges Street and was only conveying him to the Barrack, when he again struck the man. The defendant was sentenced to one month in prison in Nenagh Gaol and he looked quite careless about the whole affair. Deaths. Suddenly, Margaret, wife of Mr. John Moylan, Toll Collector, Nenagh, aged 48 years, greatly regretted. Drowned at Euthulla, Roma, John Henry, eldest son of the late Isaac Strachan, Esq., Governor of the County Tipperary Gaol, and only brother of Mr. E. A. Strachan, Organist of All Saints Church, Brisbane, in the 35th year of his age. A man named Corbett, residing a few miles from Thurles, died on Tuesday morning from the effects of a stroke of a stone which he received about three weeks ago. Before he died, the police were informed by him, that on the fair day of Thurles, as he was proceeding home from that place, he had a fight with a man and received the wound in his skull, but as he didn't think it a serious one, he went to a hurling and several places of amusement afterwards. Even when he began to feel the consequences of the wound, he refused to swear an information, stating that it was all his own fault. The Clerk of the Nenagh Board of Guardians read a notice today of an order of deportation of one John Hogan, aged 49, and his three children. The Chairman, Mr. J. Poe, V.C., thought it was a terrible Act of Parliament that permitted the removal of a man and his family, after he spent the best of his days in England. Mr. Ryan added that it was a most one-sided law, as the Board could not send an English Pauper home. A fine of £3 and three months in prison was imposed at Thurles Petty Sessions on Patrick Drury, Mountrath, for travelling in one of the carriages of the Great Southern and Western Railway without a ticket, and for having feloniously concealed himself in a wagon.
