>From the Nenagh Guardian. 13th March 1871. Clothes, value 2/5 were ordered by the Roscrea Board of Guardians for Mary Maher, and 4/6 for Catherine Kennedy. Jane Carroll applied for the clothes of her son who died in the Fever Hospital, but the Board refused the application and ordered the clothes to be burned, to prevent the spreading of the disease. A fine of 10/- each was imposed on Michael Cleary, Daniel Ryan and Martin Meara, of Lisdaleen, at the Templemore Petty Sessions on Wednesday, for hunting on a Sunday. They were seen by Constable Harold, of Templetuohy, looking for game with three dogs, at Ballinroe on Sunday last. Married at Ballina, Killaloe, Denis J. Canny, eldest son of the late Matthew Canny, Esq., J.P. Clonmaney, Co. Clare, to Alice Maud, second daughter of Thomas Atkinson, Esq., Inspector General of Hospitals. A native of Glencullo, named Meara, is in more or less danger of losing his life from a tremendous blow of a stone he got on the head, which is in a frightful condition ever since. The Newport Police are making enquiries. The tender of Mr. Edward B. Cunnah, of Killaloe Woollen Mills, for the supply of 20 yards of grey frieze, at 3/9 a yard, has been accepted by the Nenagh Board of Guardians. An hour in prison was imposed on Patrick Brien, apprentice in the Drapery Shop of Mr. James Hickie, Thurles. He was convicted of having thrown a stone from the Railway Bridge, Thurles, at a passing train. Died at 9 Royal Canal Terrace, Dublin , in the 77th year of his age, Edward Neville D'Alton, late Chief Officer of the Coast Guard and formerly R.N. Uncle to Jeremiah D'Alton, esq., Tiermoyle, Templederry. At his residence, Summerhill, Nenagh, Patrick Ryan, Publican and Baker. 4th Nov. 1878. At Thurles Petty Sessions, Michael Power was admitted to bail for assaulting John Kane, both of Thurles, on the holiday. Kane wasn't able to attend in Court. Mary Neil, of Thurles, for the larceny of a piece of flannel (about 16 yards) out of Mr. Corcoran's shop at Thurles, was committed to Nenagh Gaol for two months, with hard labour, on Thursday. The Will of the late Mr. Justice Keogh has been proved by the executors, Captain Henry Keogh, RM, and Mr. David Ferguson, Solicitor. The Personality was sworn under £12,000. The bequests are entirely of a personal and family nature. On Monday night, at Reamore, near Newport, the houses of Patrick Ryan and Denis Sweeney were burned to the ground, and also two cocks of hay in the haggard. It is thought that only for early alarm given by some carmen, who were carting butter from Kilcommon Market, some of the inmates of the houses would have been burned to death. There is no reason assigned for the burning, but the sufferers, believing it to be malicious, are seeking compensation for the loss and injuries sustained. At a meeting of Nenagh Board of Guardians a man named Morrissey sought admission to the Workhouse. Mr. O'Leary remarked that Morrissey could not be kept out of the house. The Clerk then said he had received a communication from the Local Government Board enclosing a letter addressed to them by Morrissey, in which he complained of being thrown on the waves of the world to look for support and lodging. The Master said that Morrissey was lying. Mr. Vicars of Lateragh had offered him work at 5/- a week and his support but he wouldn't take it. Admission refused. A queer looking fellow giving the name of Stephen Connors, for being found by the police sleeping in the open air at night, not having any visible means of support, was, at Thurles Court, sentenced to two months hard labour in Nenagh Gaol, as a vagrant. At Lorrha Petty Sessions, Constable Willer, of Portland had Patrick Ward, of Portumna, a Militia Man, for having three rabbit traps in a rag bag at Portumna. The offender was on the run since last November, and could not be caught by the Police, were it not for the sad misfortune of the reserve man getting drunk at Loughrea, Co. Galway, for which offence he was sent to the plank bed for 14 days. He got an additional two months in Nenagh Gaol for the rabbit traps. 26th May 1879. Catherine Arnold of Killarney, an unfortunate was sentenced at Thurles Petty Sessions to three ? in gaol, for being found by the police sleeping in the open air at night, and having no visible means of support. At Thurles Petty Sessions, Mr. T.B. Pennefather summoned a cantankerous old man named Patrick Cooney for not driving on the proper side of the road. It appeared that as Mr. Pennefather was driving into Thurles a few days ago, Cooney went before him in a zig-zag way with an ass and cart for a considerable distance, and when remonstrated with by Mr. Pennefather, his replies were rather offensive. The complainant took the merciful course of charging him with driving at the wrong side of the road, instead of charging him with an obstruction. A sum of £8.10.0 was allowed John Ryan of Knockinroe at Nenagh Board of Guardians for injuries done him, his land, and cattle by carrying away the water from his lands for the water supply of the Silvermines. The law costs of the union occasioned by Ryan's obstruction while the works were carried out are to be deducted from above. Panniers and short skirts are now being worn. I think I am right when I say very short skirts, for they already ascend to the ankle, and the most elegant fashion echo of Paris prognosticates that ere we are two years older, our skirts will reach almost to the knees. I have said the ankles are already seen. This will necessitate an extra luxury of shoes and stockings, for, with the foot and ankle entirely exposed to the gaze, they will become objects of extraordinary care and attention.
