Nenagh Guardian. 25th June 1894. Homicide at Curreeny. Following up the search through the mountain district of Curreeny in which the parties concerned in the late murderous affray reside, the police succeeded on Sunday morning in coming upon Ryan Matt in one of the houses in Keeper Hill. The task set before the police was no easy one, for since the day of the funeral of the old woman Ryan, patrols from all the surrounding constabulary stations, have been scouring the mountains and valleys, incessantly. Ryan was brought into Newport on Monday last and was since sent on remand to Limerick gaol. A number of others are still on the run. Follow up on the Curreeny Affray. In another column we mention that Ryan Matt has been taken into custody and transmitted to Limerick Gaol. We are in a position to announce that all the absconders have surrendered. Mr. James O'Leary, J.P., came into town, on Thursday accompanied by the whole party--Timothy Carr, Matt Ryan (Matt), Tom Ryan (Matt), Tom Ryan (Michael), Bryan Shanahan, and Michael Butler, who were on the run since the 7th inst, because of their participation in the murderous affray at Curreeny. They were all committed to Limerick Gaol, whence they were brought up at the Petty Sessions today and returned for trial to the assizes. The men are of a respectable class, and nearly all are relatives, and such an unfortunate occurrence has been the cause of widespread sorrow among their friends. The bone of contention is a small patch of ground and a hovel, situated by the roadside. There is only one small room on the ground floor, and altogether its market value would scarcely reach a ten pound note. Arrest of a supposed lunatic. At the last meeting of the Board of Governors of the Clonmel Asylum, Doctor Garner brought forward the case of a young woman who had been received into the asylum about ten days previously under what is known as the Viceregal warrant. She resided with her relatives about two miles from Templemore and it appeared that one day when going into town with her sister on business, she was arrested on a warrant, brought before two magistrates and they on a medical certificate and informations of two of her relatives, committed to the asylum as a dangerous lunatic. This appeared to the doctor to be a hard case, and certainly he could certify that the young woman was not a dangerous lunatic. Mr. Connolly said he could bear out the statement of Dr. Garner and might add that the young woman's case was the subject of general conversation in Templemore. She had a lot of money in her own right; perhaps that had something to do with her removal to the asylum. The woman was believed in Templemore to be perfectly sane. A sister of the woman appeared and stated that she did not consider her insane. The young woman in question was called up and questioned. She declared she was wrongly committed to the asylum and was desirous of going home with her sister. The alleged assault was a slap on the cheek she gave another sister of hers for what the latter said to her. She was then discharged. Born at Tombricane, Borrisokane to the wife of Mr. Patrick Cahalan, a daughter. Deaths. Died on June 18th at Nenagh, Edward Dolan, late sergeant of Ballybrophy. Died on the 14th at Carney, Borrisokane, Norah, the beloved wife of Mr. Daniel Hoctor. The deceased, who has been ailing for a considerable time, was of a most amiable disposition, a kind, good mother and an affectionate wife. She bore her tedious illness with the most Christian fortitude and have her soul to the Creator after having been fortified with the rites of our Holy Church at the age of 62 years. Died on Wednesday evening, at her residence, Silver Street, Nenagh, Mrs Mary Kirwan, widow of the late Mr. Edward Kirwan, age 72, after a protracted illness. The numerous friends and acquaintances of Miss Norah Gleeson will be glad to hear of her arrival in Nenagh from the south of France in the enjoyment of good health. This young lady is sister of Mr. Michael Gleeson, solicitor and coroner, Rev. William Gleeson, Clongowes College, Rev. John Gleeson, P.P. Kyle, and the popular athlete, sportsman, and warm-hearted comrade, Mr. Joseph Gleeson of the old Turnpike. 28th June 1875. Deaths. It is with sincere regret that we have to record the death, after a few weeks illness, of Sir William Osborne Bart, of Beechwood Park, near Nenagh. The melancholy event took place at Carlow, at the seat of his brother-in-law, Phillip Jocelyn, Newton Esq. He was the eldest son of Sir Daniel 11th Baronet and Lady Harriet La Poer Trench, daughter of the first Earl of Clancarty. He was born in 1805 and married in 1842, Maria, daughter of William Thompson, Hallywoodrath, Dublin, who survives him. He will be succeeded in the title and estates by his brother Charles. Died at the Old Turnpike, Nenagh, in the 76th year of her age, Miss Mary Cleary. At Borrisokane Petty Sessions on Wednesday, Mrs Anne Talbot, of Shannon Lodge, summoned W. Sydney, Esq., of Gortmore, for an assault by striking her with a whip on the face and body. After some explanation, Mr. Sydney apologised to Mrs Talbot, and having paid all the costs, the case was allowed to be ruled "no appearance". At Bow-Street Police Court, London, on Thursday, a young woman, giving the name of Jessie Lloyd, was fined 20/., or 14 days in prison, for dancing the "Can Can" in the Public Street. Jack Delaney, a dark fiddler from the Silvermines, 93 years of age, got married at Nenagh, on Saturday evening, to a woman twice widowed, named Gleeson, who had been at service at Mr. Ryan (Lants) at Nenagh. Coming into Nenagh by Bawn, on Saturday, the hilarious fiddler had to take shelter in one of the roadside cabins from a heavy shower of hail, when he enlivened the inmates with rasping in prime style "Haste to the Wedding". One of Delaney's great boasts is that he played at the christening of almost all of the children around the Silvermines, and at the weddings and christenings of some of their fathers and mothers. 28th June 1886. At Parsonstown Petty Sessions, a woman named Mary Guinan, aged over 60 years, brought a charge of attempted criminal assault against Mr. J.M. Drought, J.P., Five Alley, Parsonstown. The court was cleared during the investigation, to the great disappointment of the scandal mongers. The trial was a prolonged one, and terminated, we learn, in the magistrates refusing information, and discharging Mr. Drought. The prosecutor does not seem to be of sound mind. The tenants of Miss Roe, daughter of the late Archdeacon Roe, of Roscrea, met the agent, at Dobly's? hotel, Tipperary. The property is situate at Grantstown, near Golden, and the agent kindly gave a reduction of 20 per sent on the last November rent, and gave the tenants a month to pay. This includes the tenants who recently got judicial rents fixed by arbitration, as well as leaseholders on the property. Roscrea Guardians. At Roscrea Board of Guardians, it was decided to order Thomas Kennedy, of Church Street., Roscrea, to remove a heap of manure from the roadside at Chapel Lane. The Master reported that Martin Fogarty was brought before the magistrates at the Petty Sessions on Monday, and was given two months in prison for striking William Butler, another inmate of the house. On the recommendation of the Medical Officer it was agreed to send Thomas McCoy to St. Mark's Ophthalmic Hospital, Dublin for treatment. In the Chancery Division, Dublin, on Friday, June 18th, before the Vice Chancellor, Mary Jane Burriss, Templederry, Moneygall, was granted an injunction against John Hayes and others, for cutting and removing turfs from the bog at Conee Islands, Moneygall. Mr. Samuels (instructed by Mr. Mitchell and sons), appeared for the plaintiff and Mr. William J. Menton, Solicitor, Roscrea for the defendant. Died on June 20th, at the residence of her grandfather, Anthony Nolan, Esq. T.C., Castle Street, Nenagh, Mary Theresa, daughter of the late John Kennedy, Esq., in her 14th year. At Nenagh Petty Sessions, Patrick Hourigan, a labouring boy from Cunnahurt, who had been arrested on Sunday for being drunk, was brought in on a charge of attempting to commit suicide in the lock up of the Nenagh Police Barrack on Sunday evening. Constable Sullivan gave evidence of detecting Hourigan in the act of attempting to hang himself, he had one of his suspenders tied around his neck and the other fastened to the bar of the window. The prisoner was asked why he attempted to hang himself and said he did not know what he was doing. The Constable said that the prisoner had been four or five hours in custody at the time. James Nolan of Cunnahurt, a farmer, said he knew the prisoner. He was a good boy and conducted himself properly. He had not shown any sign of insanity before. The Chairman told the prisoner that the offence was a very serious one, and that he could be sent for trial on it. On inquiry from the police as to the accused character, it was found that there was no previous charge against him. The ruling of the court was that the prisoner should give two sureties of £10 each, and himself £20, to be of good behaviour for the next twelve months, or be sent to prison. Keeping Old Customs. There was a large gathering at the Well at Brookwatson near this town, for the purpose of keeping up an old custom on last Sunday, a custom hitherto kept on the Sunday, a custom, St. Johns Day. The Nenagh Brass Band attended on the occasion , and played a number of nice selections. There was dancing, tug-o-war, racing and other amusements which continued to half past seven. There was no quarrelling and a dozen members of the Royal Irish Constabulary were present as spectators.

This is my favorite list because of Mary Heaphy's wonderful newspaper transcriptions. In yesterday's some of the names have (Matt) or other names in parentheses after the first & last names. Does anyone know what this means?

Kathleen, When you see a name in parenthesis, it usually means that there is more than one person of this name and (Matt) is the father to distiguish the men from one another. So a help.
