    3. >From the Nenagh Guardian. 2nd March 1874. The Courthouse at Tipperary on Thursday was greatly thronged and the business was unusually heavy owing to the riot in the town last week, between the bakers and an employer. On the last Court day, the bakers of the town had summonses against Timothy O'Meara for employing men to work at irregular hours, and on leaving the Court House a crowd gathered and some hooting occurred and stones were thrown. Several parties were assaulted, and Michael Toohey alleges he was stabbed. Eight bakers were ordered to find bail in £10 to keep the peace towards all Her Majesty's subjects for one year. A youngster from Ballycommon was fine 2/6 and costs for stealing branches of trees cut on Mr. Minnitt's land. Mr. Minnitt did not press for punishment but he sought to have the plundering discontinued. A woman from Ballyartella was fined one penny and costs for cutting and taking a bundle of faggots at the same time. Died in Wednesday, of bronchitis and fortified by the sacraments and rites of the Catholic Church, Mrs Hayes calmly and confidently yielded up her soul to the hands of her maker, in the 72nd year of her age. Yesterday, there was Solemn Office and High Mass and immediately afterwards her remains were removed to the family Churchyard in Youghal, accompanied by a great gathering of friends and well wishers, and by about 28 Priests from the surrounding Parishes. The following were declared contractors for the ensuing year, by the Board of Superintendence of Nenagh Gaol. Mr. Austin, Military and Merchant Tailor, for supplying warder's uniforms. Mr. Wm. Dillon, Tyone, Milk. Mrs Moloney, Imperial Bakery, Bread. Mr. John Cunneen, for tea, sugar, soap and candles. Mr. Tobin, for keeping the clocks in repair. Mr. Thomas Grace, for supplying timber. A boy named Mahony was granted £3 by the Thurles Board of Guardians to assist him in emigrating to his father. Died in San Francisco, Edmond Burke, a native of Holycross, Co. Tipperary, aged 66 years. Marriage. At Youghal Chapel, by the Rev. T. Brosnahan, RCC, Michael Gleeson, Esq. Knockbrack House, second son of Martin Gleeson, Esq., to Sarah H. Corbette, second daughter of John Corbette, Esq., Pallasbeg, Portroe. 1st March 1886. Married on the 19th Jan. 1886 at Capetown, O.P.P. Hople, of Oxishoorn, to Emilie, daughter of Francis Smallman, late of Montevideo, Roscrea. At Nenagh Assizes, William Moloney was charged with assaulting Mary Mason, in Ballalley Lane on Christmas Eve. Mary Mason swore she saw Moloney kick James Mason in the mouth when he was knocked by Jerry Connors. She said Moloney held up an old tongs then and asked her if she knew it; she denied any knowledge of it; he claimed it belonged to her husband, and he had been fighting with it. Mary also claimed that in addition to assaulting her, he struck her mother-in-law, and broke in the half door. Moloney said Mary Mason came up first and struck him with a stone, and then stooped to pick up another. This was the start of the row. John Flynn, James Dunne, and Bridget Begley gave evidence for the defence. Catherine Mason brought a summons against Jerry Connors, Darby Connors and William Connors. They assaulted her son James Mason; Jer Connors gave him a blow and knocked him down; while he was down William Moloney kicked him, and Connors also kicked him. She threw herself on her son when he was kicked, and Moloney's wife pulled her by the hair of her head. The Magistrates dismissed all summonses on account of the contradictory nature of the defence. Deaths. 19th Feb. at her residence, Summerhill, Nenagh, of inflammation of the lungs, Eliza, wife of Francis Cahalan, MD, aged 60 years, universally regretted. 19th Feb. Sarah, beloved wife of George Ryall, Esq., Ballykelly, Cashel, daughter of the late John Brindley, Happygrove, Nenagh. 19th Feb. at his mother's residence, Summerhill, Nenagh, after a lingering illness, Mr. John Rafferty, compositor at the Guardian Office, aged 24 years. 21st Feb, at Queen Street, Nenagh, in his 18th year, Joseph, eldest son of Mr. Denis McGrath, TC. 21st Feb. at Kilcolman, Roscrea, of congestion of the lungs, from which he only suffered two days, Rev. Patrick Hurley, PP, Aghancon and Ettagh. 20th Feb. at Dungar, Roscrea, after a brief illness, Nicholas Middleton Hardy, of Ballintoher House, Tyrawley. Mr. William Wills, Governor of Armagh Prison, late Deputy Governor of Nenagh Prison, has been appointed Governor of Belfast Prison, the highest post of its class in Ireland. Captain Chippendale, late Governor of Nenagh Prison, succeeds Mr. Wills. 2nd March 1885. Yesterday, Mr. Michael Ryan, Auctioneer, set up for sale four acres of land at Monsea, held by Mrs Mary Hogan as a yearly tenant at the rent of £1-3-0 an acre. After the opening offer, it was understood that no advance under £3 would be accepted. The first bidder was Dan O'Leary, who is in the employment of Rev. Mr. Wakeman, Rector of Monsea, at a bid of £50. The other bidders were John Maher of Monsea, and Stephen Seymour P.L.G. The bidding was brisk up to £63 when Maher dropped out. Dan O'Leary bid up to £70, but Seymour went to £73 at which figure he was declared purchaser. The dwelling on the holding is an indifferent one. Died on the 4th Feb., Joseph Fade Hutchinson, Esq., J.P. of Dungar, Roscrea. Yesterday, several contingents of cars laden with building materials, turf, turnips and potatoes, and other necessaries of life, contributed by the members of the surrounding branches of the National League, crowded into the town land of Killaneave. As expected the number of sympathisers was unusually large, and banners with National League inscriptions were numerous. The object of the demonstration was the erection of houses for the two families of Sherlocks, who had been evicted from their holdings some time since by the Landlord, Mr. Hare, they owing at the time three years rent. The sites for the two houses were given by Mr. Patrick Ryan, Curragraigue. All passed off peacefully. We have been informed that there was as much building material to spare as would build two more houses. The largest contingent of people came from Borrisoleigh. Mr. Carroll, V.S. reported swine fever at Michael Mack's, Downamona. Three pigs were attacked. Five others were not affected. William T. Trench, Esq., Laughton, Moneygall, has been sworn in as High Sheriff for the King's County. At Johnstown Petty Sessions on Saturday "Mr" John Anthony Maher was again brought up a remand from her Greek Prison, Kilkenny, charged by Sergeant Joseph Beattie Greek, with having on Tuesday 3rd, stolen from the shop of Mrs Cormack, Urlingford, 1 half pound of tea. Chairman-Do you wish to be tried in a High Court or here?. Prisoner-Well, I plead guilty to the charge preferred against me, and I wish to be tried by your Worships. The Chairman asked how long the prisoner had been in custody. Sergeant Beattie-He has been 19 days in Kilkenny, Your Worship. Mrs. Cormack from whom the tea had been stolen expressed a desire that the prisoner should be punished no further. The Chairman, after consultation with the other magistrates, administered a severe caution to the prisoner as to his future conduct, and as he had already been 19 days in gaol, and as Mrs Cormack desired that he be punished no further, the Court ordered him to be charged. Prisoner-Thank you, your worships, now I shall become "Mr" Maher again.
