Nenagh Guardian 15th June 1874. Thomas Lanigan, whose appearance at the court, when out of gaol, is now looked on as a matter of course, was again brought up at the Templemore Petty Sessions on Wednesday, charged by Constable Martin McInerney, with having been drunk and disorderly on the public street. It was stated that he had only returned to town on Friday last after "putting up" a term of imprisonment in Nenagh Gaol for assault. Mr. Jones, R.M., said he was a hopeless case. The bench imposed a sentence of one month in prison with hard labour. Lanigan--Is that all?. I could do 45 of them without any trouble. Born at Mount Falcon, Borrisokane, to the wife of Richard H. Falkiner, Esq., a son. At Rosemount, Roscrea, to the wife of William J. Dawson, Esq., National Bank, a son. At Barrack Street, Nenagh, to the wife of Mr. Denis Carroll, T.C., a daughter. At Nenagh Petty Sessions, Sub. Constable Treacy summoned John Hogan for being drunk. John's defence was that he was at the Fair, that he "murdered" his wife, and when he went to look for her, he couldn't find her, and then he took a drop to kill the grief. He was let off with a caution, and a promise that he would be send to gaol the next time. At an examination held recently, Mr. R. Hawtrey Lyon, LRCSI, youngest son of Rev. Thomas Lyon, Vicar of Kilbarron, obtained on first trial, the Diploma in Medicine of said College and is entitled to practice as a physician. Bridget Gleeson, aged 30 years, and in the Work House for the past 12 months, was ordered a suit of clothes, and her three children were also ordered suits. Edward Kennedy, aged 60, was ordered a trousers and shoes, and his wife and two children were ordered suits of clothes. Phil Maher of Cullohill and Margaret Bourke of Pallas, were fined 1/., each at Borrisoleigh Petty Sessions for having their cars unlettered. Died on Thursday, at Tyone, Nenagh, at an advanced age, Mrs Ryan, relic of the late Malachy Ryan, of Tyone House, generally and deservedly regretted. At Thurles Petty Sessions, John Deegan, a native of Dublin, was charged with obtaining a night's lodging at the Workhouse. He was send to Nenagh Goal for a month, on hearing which, he said he didn't care. A young man named Edward Long had a finger cut off on Sunday, through negligently meddling with the springboard of a horse wagon at the Thurles Railway Station. George Bergin was summoned at Nenagh Petty Sessions, for disobeying the orders of the Master of the Workhouse. The Master proved to the defendant refusing to assist the male nurse. He was generally a troublesome pauper. Bergin said he wanted to get his eyes cured. The Doctor said he could work. He was sentenced to a month in gaol. 16th June 1884. Robert Prince and John Butler, two young men, were taken up in Clonmel and brought before the Mayor, charged with singing seditions and blasphemous ballads through the streets of the town. They said they had sung the ballads in Carrick-on-Suir with remonstrance. The Mayor told them to leave Clonmel forthwith, to forfeit the obnoxious ballads, and to take heed not to appear again in the capacity of turbulent troubadours. M. Meara, a tenant on the Frankfort Estate, was charged with taking timber away. Mr. Bridge appeared for the defence. The wood ranger on the property proved he missed a portion on an elm tree, and suspecting Meara, got a search warrant, and found the stolen timber in Meara's possession. Patrick Toohey was examined by Sergeant Carroll, of Dunkerrin, who conducted the prosecution. He proved to having assisted to put the timber on Meara's car, he thought Meara had bought the timber. To Mr. Bridge-The tree had been taken by daylight:Meara did not try to hide the tree, others saw him take it. The sergeant gave evidence of seeing Meara with the timber on his car on May 26th. In answer to Mr. Bridge Meara said that the tree had been lying there on the roadside for 12 months. Meara was fined £1 without costs. The tree was ordered to be returned. Mrs Elizabeth Myles was summoned for trespass of cattle on Mr. Jackson's land. Mr. Bridge appeared for the complainant and Mr. Menton for the defendant. It seems the boundary had been neglected by the Landlord on both sides. The defendant was fined 1/., with 6d., costs. John Hayes of Ballinakill was let off with a fine of £1 or 14 days in prison, for stabbing his son Adam. This case was before the Court, two weeks ago. At Killarney Petty Sessions, yesterday, Patrick and Mary Sullivan, owners of a considerable amount of house property were committed for trial on a charge of manslaughter of their infant child, whom, it is alleged, they starved to death. On 2 o'clock on Saturday night three shots were fired into the house of William Dwyer, Bonleen, near Bansha. Two shots were fired through the kitchen window, and a third through the bedroom window. Mr. Dwyer, after the first shots, looked through the bedroom window, and saw two men in the yard, one of whom he knew, and whom against he has sworn information. Dwyer's next door neighbour, William Doherty, was on Sunday arrested and brought before Mr. Meldon, R.M., and identified by Dwyer. For a long time past a bad feeling, it is stated, existed between Dwyer and Doherty because of a disputed right of passage. Mr. John Ralph, of Carney, made his annual application to the Borrisokane Board of Guardians, asking to have a small well sunk in his garden at Carney. A committee of two guardians were sent there two years ago to select a site, and report to the Board. This committee did not agree with Mr. Ralph as regards the most suitable site, and he now denounces them in all the moods and tenses, and asks to have local gentlemen, who knows what to do, appointed to select a site. He further complains of the one sided partiality of the Board giving water to the Catholic Schools at Kilbarron and Carney, and leaving the Protestant school unsupplied. 17th June 1878. The death has taken place at Dublin, in the 62nd year of his age of Mr. Ryland Byron, who has been connected with the Irish Valuation Office for many years. Mr. Byron was a native of Nenagh, and nephew to Mr. Francis Byron. The Irish Workhouses were built to accommodate no less than 147,221 paupers. From a parliamentary return on this subject, we learn that they only contained 43,621 inmates during 1877. The system of Economy which maintains nearly four times the required space is as extraordinary as it is questionable. Mr. Phillip Slattery, of Nenagh, fell from the front window of his residence in Barrack Street, last night. He suffered a severe concussion of the brain. His recovery is doubtful. A young man, aged 26, was sentenced to 5 years penal servitude at the Tipperary (South Riding) Assizes, for manslaughter, arising out of the late Mohobber Faction Fight. On the 30th May a large number of people collected in the Public House of a woman named Byron in Mohobber. Dancing was going on and the deceased called on the fiddler for a "Shanavest Jig". Before the evening was over another man called for a "Caravat Jig". A girl named Eliza Harrington stated that when the Caravat Jig was played, someone kicked the drum on which Thomas Croke was beating time. Lord Justice Deasy said that it was a lamentable thing that in this age on a fine Summer's evening when a number of people met on the roadside, the deceased and the other young man, both in the prime of life, should have their lives sacrificed, in a causeless, foolhardy strife, of the wretched faction of the "Caravets" and "Shanavests". He had thought such factions had died away and were forgotten, but it seems that members were as anxious to slay each other as they were years ago.
