    3. 11-11-1865. From the Clonmel Chronicle. Good Luck-A poor farmer, named Condon, residing near Ballyporeen, and paying about £15 a year rent, has just come in for an unexpected fortune. His aunt who was some four and thirty years ago the proprietress of the Spread Eagle Tavern, in Main Street, Clonmel, died recently in Australia, and left to Condon a sum of £3500 and a property realising £400 a year. 18-5-1850 From the Tipperary Vindicator. No less than 36 families, comprising upwards of 336 individuals, were evicted on 6th inst., by the under sheriff of the county, on the estate of Mr. Henry (encumbered), in the Parish of Bellina? and Boher, Barony of Owney and Arra, County of Tipperary. A scene so utterly appalling has been seldom witnessed even in a county proverbial for the exercise of the depopulating system. The misery and desolation to which these poor people have been thus subjected may be imagined--it cannot be described. The Nenagh Union, which has been so deeply suffering from the wholesale clearances at Toomevara, and the evictions in several other parts of the Union, has had, in this instance, an augmentation to its misery which must tell with fearful effect on the struggling ratepayers of this union, already hardly able to bear up against the burdens that oppress them. Thus, in this case, there are no less than 336 human beings cast out on the world--thirty five houses were levelled to the ground, of which nothing now remains but the black chimneys and the wrecks of roof trees, startling monuments of the progress of that desolation which is bringing the country to ruin. 14-6-1886 From the Nenagh Guardian. At Nenagh Quarter Sessions, Daniel Dunne, of Nenagh, was charged on two indictments, with obtaining money at the fair of Borrisokane on April 24th, by getting 6d toll from John Gleeson and 4d from John Coughlan. The Grand Jury having found a true bill, Dunne was called to plead to the charges. Mr. Nolan, Solicitor, who appeared for Dunne, said he Dunne, pleaded guilty. The money was obtained without any evil intent, merely as a lark. He asked, in the circumstances to have the prisoner dealt with leniently. Mr. Boyd, S.C.S., said the transaction was a sort of rise on Dunne's part as Mr. Nolan suggested, and he would be dealt with leniently, he should give security to come up for judgement on getting due notice to that effect. Mr. Nolan said Dunne could give himself in £10, and two sureties of £5. At Moneygall Sessions, Sergeant Riordan had Patrick Donnelly, of Irishtown, summoned for assaulting William Downes in Dunkerrin graveyard, on May 24th, at the burying of Donnelly's sister, by striking him in the mouth and cutting him. Downes swore he was knocked down, but could not tell who hit him. Sergeant Riordan had a second charge against Donnelly for striking Michael Bowen with a stone on the road to Frankfort. Donnelly denied the charge, but Constable Carroll corroborated the Sergeant, and Donnelly was bound to the peace for 6 months, himself in £5, and two sureties of £2.10.0. Each. At Moneygall Sessions, Mr. Arthur Burriss, of Ballintemple, had Darby Toohey of Annameadle summoned for stealing turf at Ballintemple on May 19th. Darby's defence was that he had only took a few wet sods, as he came to take a bank from Mr. Burriss. Mr. Grench, D.L., Magistrate, told him he was liable to be fined £5, but as Mr. Burriss did not press the case, and the value of the turf was only 6d, he would be let of with a fine of 5/., 1/6 compensation to Mr. Burriss and 2/., costs. At Roscrea Board of Guardians there was a communication from the Local Government Board, in reply to the minutes of the last meeting of the Guardians, stating that the cost incurred in sending the boy, John Walsh, to Paris, for the treatment of Hydrophobia, must be borne by the division to which he is legally charged. It was proposed by Mr. Bridge, seconded by Mr. Griffith, and unanimously passed "that the marked thanks of the Board be conveyed by the Clerk to Monsieur Pasteur, of Paris, for his kind and humane treatment of the boy Walsh, who was send by the Guardians for treatment for hydrophobia." It was also resolved that "the marked thanks of the Board be conveyed to Dr. C.W. Reilly, Roscrea, for the extremely satisfactory manner in which he took charge of the boy on his journey to Paris and return therefrom, and during his stay there, and the Clerk, to be directed to send a copy to Dr. Reilly. At Nenagh sessions there was a large number of cases at the suit of the police for drunkenness, unlicensed dogs, trespass on the public road by cattle, in which small fines were ruled with costs. Constable Dan Ryan summoned Betty McInerney and Patrick Carroll, the former for striking the latter with a gallon can, and Carroll for kicking her when down. Betty's defence was that Carroll was tussling with her son, and that she gave him a blow of an old gallon she had in her hand. Carroll said he was drunk at the time and was sorry for what he did. He has since taken the pledge. Bankrupt. Richard C. Jackson, farmer, Rathcahill, Shinrone, to appear on Tuesday, 18th June and Tuesday 29th June. Married in Thurles on June 2nd, Jeremiah Coffey, Great Southern and Western Railway, to Agnes Mary, sixth daughter of the late William Ryton, J.P. Clerical Intimidation. Some time ago, Mr. James Esmonde, D.L. Drominagh, Borrisokane, who owns a property at Rathcumber, near Edenderry, evicted a tenant named Hyland. He went there recently to have the farm tilled, and on Sunday he went to Mass in Edenderry Chapel. He took his seat in the Gallery where the Rev. J. Connolly, RCC who was officiating, spying the obnoxious Landlord, ordered him to take a lower seat. Mr. Esmonde complied, and removed to a pew owned by Mr. Robinson, but was not long there when an intimation to get out was conveyed, and he was forced to take his place among the humbler members of the congregation. Not satisfied with this humiliation, the Reverend "Preacher of the Peace" went outside the Chapel afterwards, and seeing Mr. Esmonde's carriage in charge of a servant, ordered him to liberate the horse, but he declined. Mr. Connolly grew irate, and told him that if he refused to do so he would feel the consequences. The order had no effect, and Mr. Esmonde was able to drive home. Mr. Esmonde laid the facts before the Bishop of the Diocese, and we understand that His Lordship, with a promptitude not always extended to those outside the pale of the faithful, administered such a rebuke to his zealous curate as will probably cool his ardour for some time.
