2nd Sept. 1878. At Thurles Petty Sessions held last Saturday Philip Brett summoned Daniel Maher for burying his sister-in-law in complainant's grave. Mr. Pennefather was for complainant and Mr. Coppinger for defendant. Britt swore positively to the offence. Judy Cormack being called as witness for the defence, pretended to be deaf. She appeared to be between 70 and 80 years of age. She refused to take the cloak of her head. She was quite positive in all she swore, and kept the court amused for a considerable time with her replies to Mr. Pennefather. The case was adjourned for a week. At the Thurles Petty sessions, Anne Carroll summoned James Carty and his wife Maria, for assault, and with using threatening and abusive language. Both parties live in the same house in Thurles. When Anne, as she swore, was washing her skillet a few mornings ago, James Carty charged her with dirtying the yard which he was after cleaning, and attacked her, she described, her case as being a very bad one, she got scandal and everything from the Carty's that was bad. She went out to the yard with the tongs in her right fist, and her left fist in front of her nose, to guard it from being smashed. Maria Carty knocked her down, and James said "don't mark her but baptize her", where on Maria got a can of water and threw it on her. Biddy Purcell, a girl about 16 years of age was called to prove the case. She said the fault was all Anne Carroll's. The case was dismissed. At the Killaloe Petty Sessions yesterday (William Spaight, Esq., in the chair), a poacher named Charles Callaghan was prosecuted by the police, being found on the public road near Ballina with game and having possession of instruments for trapping game. He was found coming at the time from the direction of the land in which game was preserved. He was fined 21/., and costs, or, in default of payment, a month in prison with hard labour. Callaghan was also charged by Constable John Sheridan of the Ballina Station, with assaulting him in the discharge of his duty, while arresting him with the game in his possession. For this he was sentenced to six weeks in prison, with had labour. The defendant reached Nenagh this forenoon to pay the penalty of his poaching by ten weeks punishment. There will be brought up for trial at Nenagh Petty Sessions on Saturday, Michael Carberry, for assaulting a fellow workman, named Pat Magennis on Sunday evening in the bake-house, where both were employed. Carberry gave Magennis two stabs of a pocket knife over the right eye. Married on August 22nd, at Roscrea Church, Richard Stanley, youngest son of the late Robert Stanley, Monamondra, Queen's County to Elizabeth Anne, eldest daughter of the late Robert Jackson, Valley Mills, Roscrea, County Tipperary. Died on August 26th, at Bachelor's walk, Nenagh, in the 65th year of his age, Donal Hogan, Pump sinker. 12th June 1876. Rev. Freeman Gason has been appointed Protestant Chaplain of the Borrisokane Workhouse. We regret to announce the unexpected death of Dr. John Kittson, of this town, and physician to the Nenagh Gaol, which took place this morning at the residence of his father, Francis Kittson, Esq., 31 Wellington Row. Dublin. Dr. Kittson had been suffering from an affection of the throat for some time back, and left for Dublin a few days ago for medical advice. He was in his 27th year. Sub. Constable Eliot had James Donovan and Margaret Meara summoned at Nenagh Petty Sessions today for selling liquor ten minutes after the time allowed. Mr. McGrath appeared for the defence and said it was all a difference of time with regard to the chronometer at Toomevara and Greenwich time. Fined 10/., and costs. Athletic sports took place at Annfield on Thursday under the patronage of William Hanly, Esq., Cottage, Borrisoleigh, who courteously admitted the public to his father's fields to enjoy themselves. Sub. Inspector McArdle, of Thurles, and a number of the Constabulary were there to keep the peace. There was also a great many well dressed females there. At Nenagh Petty Sessions, Sub Inspector Reeves summoned Michael Fogarty of Knigh, for having a gun in a proclaimed district, without a licence. He was retained in the Court for an hour, to satisfy the minimum sentence of imprisonment. The gun was forfeited. At Newport Petty Sessions, John Broderick, a tramp from County Limerick, was sentenced to one month in prison, with hard labour, for throwing a stone at William Ryan, Esq., J.P., because he refused to give him money. Thomas Maher, a shoemaker on tramp from the County Clare, was sentenced to a fortnight in prison with hard labour, for spitting in Constable Gaffney's face. The Poor Law Guardians of Thurles summoned Philip Cahill, of Loughmore, for allowing five animals to graze in the graveyard at Loughmore. Mr. Walsh, Master of the Workhouse, proved the case. He was fined 5/., with costs of 11/6. Mr. Pennefather appeared for the Guardians. 14th June 1880. Even with the sailing of the Anchor steamship Castalia from Dublin direct to New York, the weeks just closed has not been any means the largest of the season in the matter of emigration from Dublin. The weeks total will tot up to about 710 persons, of whom rather more than half were females, of ages averaging from 16 to 25, while the men in nearly every instance are young and active. One peculiarity of the departures this year must be the absence of men and women who might be regarded as past their period of labour. The counties supplying the emigrants being principally Mayo, Leitrim, Galway, Sligo and Longford, with small contingents from Tipperary, Wexford, Meath, Westmeath, Dublin and Kildare. Between one and two o'clock yesterday morning the house of Thomas Reynolds, of Moneygall, was found on fire, and only for the early discovery and the assistance of the neighbours the house would be burned over Reynold's head and the three adjoining houses would have shared the same fate, the thatch being so dry. The roof of the Dublin train which reached Nenagh at 5'30 on Thursday evening, was coated with snow, (this is June) which had fallen during a portion of the journey from Roscrea. On Thursday night, a woman named Margaret Scarlett, wife of a soldier, but, better known by her maiden name of Britt, a servant of Mr. Dowd, of Brosna Mills House, was found lying on her face and hands in her bedroom about 11 o'clock. Mr. Dowd, on seeing that his premises were secure before retiring, heard moans from the woman's bedroom, and on sending his daughter to ascertain the cause, found the poor creature lying on the floor, apparently in a fit of swoon. Medical assistance was at once send for but none was available until 12 o'clock the next day, owing to some misconception as to the law requiring attendances on domestic servants under the Medical Charities Act. The woman died about that time, and the facts having been communicated to John Corcoran, Esq., Coroner of the King's County, an inquest was held, when after the examination of witnesses, a verdict was returned that Margaret Scarlett died of apoplexy, supervening upon epilepsy. Dr. J.L. Somers was the medical witness. At Borrisokane Board of Guardians, Nurse Kennedy, having made applications to have her salary increased by £5, was ordered to read Rule 24, the stumbling block to such application. At Nenagh Petty Sessions, a publican, living in Pound Street, lodged information against two men for assaulting him at his own house, dragging him out on the street and beating him, and also for an attack made on his house on the night of the 28th May. They threatened his life and said they would do for him. Mr. Reaves, Sub-Inspector, said that part of Pound Street, was in a most disorderly and turbulent state. The chairman said the upper part of Pound Street was a plaque spot in the town. The complainant said he did not seek to have the men punished, all he asked was to be allowed to live in quietness. The Chairman said they would be let off with 14 days in prison, with hard labour.
