12th March 1877. From the Nenagh Guardian. At the last Cashel Petty Sessions, Timothy Dwyer was sentenced to six months in prison, with hard labour, for throwing two stones, one at Mrs Vernon Russell, and another at her dog while she was out walking. Married in Borrisokane Church, by Rev Freeman C. Gason, Samuel Reid of Killeen, near Borrisokane, to Maryanne, second eldest daughter of the late Samuel Stanley of South Terrace, Borrisokane. On Tuesday last, John Cormack, Esq., Coroner held an inquest on the remains of Michael Spillane, who was found dead on the road at Clonlen, about a mile and a half from Roscrea on Monday morning. Deceased was about 57 years of age and had been in the employment of the Rev. Mr. Costigan, C.C. of Bourney. The jury found that he came to his death from suffocation, by falling into some mud water on the roadside, and not by any other means. Died at the residence of his brother, Dr. Cashel, Toomevara, George W. Cashel, Esq., eldest son of the late Rowan P. Cashel, Esq. Died at Middlewalk, near Cloughjordan, at the advanced age of 74 years, Mr. Edward Gavan, a respectable farmer. 21st Sept. 1874. Thomas Lynch, representing himself as a nailer from Toomevara, was brought up by the police for drunkenness at Nenagh. Mr. Minchin, Governor of the County Prison represented the conduct of Lynch as outrageous. He had called Mr. Minchin 'a bloody Orangeman'. Lynch said he hadn't taken a drop for the past six months, until the present occasion when it set him mad. He was fined 10/- and costs. A circular was received by the Borrisokane Board of Guardians, from the Local Government, enquiring the age of Edward Nolan, who was recently elected to the office of Porter. Nolan attended, and said his age was 56, but he could not find his Baptismal Cert. He produced a letter he received from Rev. G. Corbett, stating the Baptismal books in the Chapel did not extend beyond 1827. The Board expressed themselves satisfied with the man's explanation. The death has taken place suddenly, in the midst of his religious duties, in St. Patrick's Church, Lowell, Massachusetts, of which he had been Pastor for over 25 years of Rev. John O'Brien. He had attained the ripe old age of 74. He was born at Ballina (Where John McKeogh now lives). He was admitted to the Priesthood of the Diocese of Killaloe, on Christmas Eve. 1828. He emigrated to America over to this brother Fr. Tom. O'Brien. His funeral oration was pronounced by Counsellor John Frederick Finnerty, who once resided in the neighbourhood of Nenagh. Sarah O'Brien, now Mrs Murray of Australia, has written to us to know if Patrick O'Brien, or anyone belonging to him is now living in Nenagh. Patrick O'Brien lived in Pound Street, Nenagh, and was a shoemaker by trade, and Mrs Murray is his granddaughter. Anyone having information on the subject and inclined to give it can send same to the Editor of the Nenagh Guardian. Denis McGrath, who left Dromineer, for America, twenty years ago, returned to find himself a stranger in in the place of his birth, with no one to give him a place to lay his old bones. Mr. Kennedy, Relieving Officer, said he thought he could get the man some employment that would suit him with Lord Dunalley. Mary McMahon, aged 15 years, applied to the Board of Guardians for admission to the Workhouse. She had been hired out to a small farmer, and left before her three months were up. She told her reason for leaving was that her master used to send her to steal the neighbours turf, and when she didn't get the turf, they asked her to strip a fence. She was ordered to go back to her employment and summon the farmer to the Petty Sessions if he ill treated her. 12th May 1872. The late General Sir John Lysaght Pennefather, K.C.B. G.C.B., whose death took place at Chelsea Hospital on Thursday, was born on the 19th September 1798, third son of the late Rev. John Pennefather, Rector of Newport, County Tipperary. He entered the army as Cornet in the 7th Dragoons at the age of 18 and was eventually appointed General on the 9th May, 1868. His name came prominently before the world while serving under the late Sir Charles Napier, at Scinde, when he commanded the Infantry Brigade of Meanee and was shot through the body. After that murderous battle Sir Charles called him: 'That noble, noble, soldier, Pennefather'. He was a gallant General of whom Tipperary may well be proud and his death has placed several families in the North and South Ridings in mourning. The well known Thomas Lanigan, appeared at the Templemore Petty Sessions last week in the novel character of complainant, charging the less notorious Thos. Griffin, alias 'Tom Dodge' with having assaulted him on Wednesday evening. Lanigan, with the usual unpredictability, asked and got the permission of the Bench to settle the case as Griffin was about to join the Militia. We have just received a letter from Mr. James Haugh, Castle Street, complaining that his tender for the saloon under the Stand House at Nenagh Races, though the highest was rejected, and a lower one accepted. The letter is too long for publication but we think that if the statements it contains are true, he has just cause for complaint. May, so far as it has run has been a most unseasonable month, with several heavy showers of snow. In the most elevated localities of the county, such as the Galtees, the mountains are covered in white. Almost every night brings a recurrence of frost, so sharp, that early potatoes are visibly checked; the fields and gardens exhibiting all the appearance of blight. The salary of Michael Gleeson, Relieving Officer, Templemore, is to be increased from £20 to £30 per year. One night last week a party of the gallant 98th Regiment attacked Tade Darcy in Spout Road and disturbed the quiet of Nenagh. Tade, half drunk as he was, seemed nearly a match for the lot. The application of Timothy Ryan and John Murphy to build a bridge over the river at Barnagore, on the road from Nenagh to Cappawhite at £95, was granted at the special road sessions of the Barony of Ormond last week. Twenty seven perches of the fence on Captain Otway's property at Lacken on the road from Silvermines to Borrisoleigh, will be repaired at £1.5.0., per perch, by Jeremiah Dalton and Thomas Maher. The Band of the Royal Irish Constabulary has been invited to take part in the forthcoming Boston festival. Sub Constable Hughes, Kilboy, and McGavern, Carrigatoher, both in Nenagh district, are about resigning. Sub-Constable Mohan, Portland, summoned a man from the Ferry, at Lorrha Petty Sessions last week, for assaulting Michael Walsh on the head with a four prong fork. Walsh was apparently driving at a furious pace past the man's house and almost killed his three children,. They were both fined 5/- each. A man named John Troy, residing at Clyduff, near Dunkerrin, while returning home from a funeral, was waylaid and badly beaten with stones by two men. It is stated that the offence is of an agrarian nature, connected with the tilling of some land which Mr. White Sunner lately took possession of in the King's County, and in which a relative of Troy's was interested. An account has been published showing the quantity of tea annually consumed in this Country during the present century. The duty has not been so low since 1856 and the average quantity consumed by each individual is now 3lb 15 ozs., per annum.
