BALLINA CHRONICLE
Ballina, Co. Mayo
Wednesday, September 18, 1850


MARRIED

      On Wednesday last, in the Church of Mountrath, by the Rev. Mr. Rogers,
Mr. John Prescott, of this town, to Miss Elizabeth Bates of Mountrath.

-----

At Ballinrobe petty sessions on Monday, Mary Connelly and Nappy Durkan were
fined, the former 20s., the other 50s. for assault on a scripture reader.
Rev. Mr. Conway, R.C. Priest, paid the penalties and the offenders were
discharged.

      MAYOR OF SLIGO - We understand it is the intention of E.H. Verdon,
Esq., proprietor of the Sligo Champion, to offer himself as a candidate for
the civic chair for  the Borough of Sligo for the ensuing year. We believe
Mr. Verdon possesses the confidence of a large portion of his brother
aldermen and councillors. Mr. Verdon is an active member of the Sligo board
of guardians and his success is said to be almost certain.

Moodkee, Ferezesbah, Aliwal, and Sobraon.

Major of Bombay, succeeds to the Lieutenant Colonelcy.

THE NAVY

      The Lords of the Admiralty, on their official visit to Portsmouth,
boarded the Thetis frigate, Capt. Cooper, C.B., at Spithead, and in handsome
terms noticed the conduct of Lieut. Partridge, R.N., son-in-law of John
Croker, Esq., Ballinegards, for the admirable manner in which he has
completed the fitting out and manning of that splendid vessel for active
service.
      Rear Admiral Lock, on promotion, resigns the appointment of Naval
Aide-de-Camp to the Queens and the vacancy brings Sir James Stirling within
the list of paid Aid-de-Camp.
      Captain Sir Richard O'Connor, K.C.H., son of the late Sir Patrick
O'Connor, of Cork, is promoted a Rear Admiral on the retired list.

-----

      A gentleman yesterday presented the following for publication - "The
true area of the Circle by geometrical solution without reference to its
periphery, has been discovered by Garrett Rodney Fitzgerald, Esq., of
Ballyneety, near this city. The result is very interesting, and a great
desideratum to the scientific world.-- Limerick Chronicle.

SEA SERPENT IN KINSALE.
To the Editor of the Southern Reporter,

      SIR - A few friends accompanied me on a boating excursion this day,
whose names are William Silk, John Hunt, George Williams, Henry Seymour, and
Edward Barry, and being off the Southern Islands, our attention was directed
by one of the party to an extraordinary appearance ahead of the boat.
Immediately all eyes were turned to see what it was, when to our
astonishment and fright the above monster of the deep was bearing down on
us. We were at once thrown into an awful fright, and thought it best to
retreat for shore. On our landing, Mr. W. Silk, who was armed with a
double-barreled gun, discharged both barrels at the monster, but without
effect. I need not describe his appearance as you are aware of it before;
but from inquiries from various boatmen, I am told he is off the harbour the
last three days.- I remain, Sir, yours,
           JOHN GOOD,
Long Quay, Kinsale, Sept. 9, 1850

- The 'Black Nymph', from Limerick, with 180 passengers, arrived at Quebec,

Tuesday seen outside the heads of the Shannon, west of Kilerdene light
house, and numbers have gone down to Carrigaholt to test the accuracy of
this statement. A fisherman first descried the monster gliding over the
waters, and for sometime imagined it was the hull of a vessel, apparently 60
feet long, keel upwards, and covered with barnacles.

INQUEST
On Saturday last, Meredith Thompson, Esq., Coroner in the County of Sligo,
held an inquest at Ardnaree, on the body of a man named Laurence Gibbons.
From the evidence adduced it appeared the deceased went to bed on Thursday
night last in his usual good health. The following morning the persons with
whom he lodged went to call him to breakfast. On knocking at his door, which
was bolted on the inside, they received no answer, and then sent for
Sergeant Phibbs and his party; who came and forced the door open, when they
found Gibbons quite dead. Dr. Whittaker made a post mortem examination on
the body, and ascertained that death was caused by disease of the heart. The
jury unanimously found a verdict in accordance with the Doctor's evidence.

FLAX MANUFACTURE
      The erection of flax mills in the vicinity of this town, about two
years since, by the enterprising Messrs. Hay, have considerably increased
the cultivation of flax, while a great number of hands have been employed in
its manufacture. Mr. Halliday is now busily engaged in preparing similar
mills; and although the Messrs. Hay may be somewhat injured by this
competition, yet, looking at it in a public light, it must be gratifying to
find that such establishments are springing up as must ultimately prove
beneficial to a country hitherto neglected and at present much in need of
every little help that can be given it.

THE HARVEST
      After the rains which fell on Wednesday and Thursday the harvest
operations were briskly resumed and continued to the present under very
favourable weather. Not a moment is to be lost, there being yet a large
portion of grain standing, and plenty of work ready for the reapers. A few
small parcels of new oats have been sold in this market at from 12s. to 13s.
per barrel of 24 stone. We hear still fewer complaints about the potatoes,
and there appears to be no great disposition to bringing them into town for
sale, which would be the case were the disease progressing.

     Mr. Scully, brother of F. Scully, Esq., M.P., for Tipperary, is
appointed a Stipendary Magistrate. The M.P. has been a thick and thin
Government voter this last session, and is now compensated. A great patriot
entirely is Mr. Scully, M.P.--Mail.

      CAPTURE OF JOSEPH ADY - Yesterday afternoon James Bradley, a most
active officer connected with the Mansion-house, succeeded by stratagem,  in
capturing the notorious Joseph Ady. Bradley lodged his prisoner in the
Giltspur-street Compter, on a warrant for 19l. 3s. for postage on upwards of
2,000 "returned" letters, the "property of the Postmaster General."

      It is with regret that we announce the death of the Rt. Rev. Dr.
Stopford, Lord Bishop of Meath. The melancholy event took place suddenly on
Thursday last at Ardbraccan, his lordship's residence. The deceased prelate
was elevated from the Archdeaconry of Armagh to the see of Meath, during the
Viceroyalty of Earl de Grey. Dr. Stopford had been long labouring under
disease of the heart. - His lordship was a member of the Privy Council in
Ireland.

JOSEPH ADY
      This notorious character has been trying his hand in the wilds of
Erris. A gentleman residing in Belmullet has kindly forwarded to us the
"something to advantage" circular which Joseph is in the habit of
transmitting to those whom he intends to select as his victim. The public
cannot be too guarded against the specious schemes of this prince of
impostors, who, it may be well to remark, never post-pays his letters.

BIRTHS
      In this town, on Wednesday, the 18th inst., the lady of J.C.O.
Urquhart, Esq., Provincial Bank, of a son.
      September 17, at Mount Druid, county Roscommon, the lady of Denis
O'Connor, Esq., of a daughter.
      September 9, at Castlebar, the lady of the Rev. Hamilton Townsend, of a
daughter.

MARRIED
      September 3 in Desert-Martin Church, county Derry, by the Rev. J.S.
Knox, rector of Maghera, and brother of the bride, the Rev. W.A. Ormsby,
incumbent of St. Martin's, Norwich, to Helen Adelaide, youngest daughter of
the late Hon. and Right Rev. William Knox, Lord Bishop of Derry.

DIED

the late Wm. Sterne Noy, Esq.

      Lieut. Mellor, 2d Lifeguards; Capt. Lord Manderville, Grenadier Guards;
Leiut. Harvey, 34th; and Ensign Mackenzie, 93d, sold out of the service on
Tuesday.
      Brevet Major Longworth, 31st, was obliged to retire from active service

A GOOD LANDLORD
      John Campbell Dicker, Esq., of London, the present proprietor of the
Gleneaske property, in the county of Sligo, and not many miles from this
town, formerly held by the Irish Waste Land Society, is now at Gleneaske.
This gentleman is personally inspecting each farm on the property, and
making the most liberal reductions in the rent. In ever instance he was
reducing them one half from the 21st of last month; and he has also refunded
half the last six months' rent in every case where he thought that too much
had been paid, although it is well known that the Society had let their land
at a very low rate. Mr. Dicker has purchased flannels and calico for
gratuitous distribution amongst the children of the tenantry, and he has
handsomely paid the roman Catholic curate for celebrating mass in a small
chapel on the property. Any of his tenants who would spare time from their
own business have been employed, at a good wages, in making improvements,
which the proprietor purposes carrying on more extensively. In consequence
of all this the tenants on the estate have become exceedingly attached to
their landlord who has made himself personally acquainted with their
circumstances, and, with a kindly feeling; set about making them happy and
independent.

SHEEP - STEALING EXTRAORDINARY
      During the famine of 1847 and when nightly depredations were rife in
this country, a man living in Coolcarney, a distance of three or four miles
from this town, was, after a long vigilance on the part of the sufferers,
caught in the act of sheep-stealing, for which he was afterwards
transported. It was then considered that the neighbourhood would be free
from such thefts, but soon the missing of a sheep proved the fallacy of such
hopes. Sheep after sheep disappeared, and no discovery of the robber could
be made. At length suspicion fell upon the wife of the convict and a sharp
eye was kept upon her, when one night those on watch heard a noise close by.
A sheep was gone. It could have been killed and removed by none but the
sheep-stealer's wife. She was accordingly followed into her house and
diligent search was made, but no sheep was found. - One of the men on watch
was positive and the party returned and re-examined the house but with the
same fruitless result as before. The men left the house, consulted together,
talked over what they had seen and heard, and once more resolved upon a
closer search of the woman's house, for the missing sheep must be there.
There was a charm in the third trial. The sheep was found in the bed with
the children, having on a nightgown and chemise. The more tedious procedure
of law was not resorted to. The woman was expelled the neighborhood and her
house thrown down. This circumstance was yesterday related to us on
undoubted authority.

STATE OF THE COUNTRY
Carrying Away Crops While Under Seizure

      Thomas Carpenter, Esq., of Cherrymount, county of Waterford, seized on
the produce of two acres of wheat and some furniture, &c., which belonged to
a defaulting tenant named James Egan, residing at Kilcronin, near
Ballinakill, in the Queen's county. the wheat had been removed to the barn,
threshed and put into sacks and a bailiff named James Malone was placed in
charge of the property. at night several persons with cart came to the
premises and removed all the wheat, furniture, &c. While this was being
done, Malone states that one of the party, who was armed with a blunderbuss,
came into his bed-room, and kept him prisoner there; swearing at the same
time that he would blow out his brains if he attempted to give alarm or make
any resistance. When the property had been removed from the premises for
some time, the armed man departed, leaving the bailiff in charge of bare
walls.-- Leinster Express

      The agent of the Right Hon. the Earl of Portarlington, having seized on
a quantity of corn belonging to defaulting tenants, named Whelan, Moore,
Lalor, and Dalton, at Ballyroan, in the Queen's County, placed two bailiffs
in charge thereof, until sale would be made or arrangements otherwise
effected. At nightfall, while the bailiffs were at supper, a party of men
fastened the doors of their houses on the outside and kept them prisoners
until another party had cleared away all the property under seizure. When
the bailiffs were released there was no trace of the corn; neither could
they tell who were the persons that removed it, or kept them in confinement
during its abstraction.-- Ibid.

      On Sunday about four hundred people, men and women, assembled on the
lands of Cloneen, near Crettyard, county Kilkenny, and cut down four acres
of oats belonging to a tenant on the estate of the Hon. Mr. Wandesford, of
Castlecomer. It was threshed and winnowed as rapidly as it fell before the
sickle and the produce was sold on the following day, in the Carlow market.
This, it will be admitted, was "sharp practice."--Carlow Sentinel.


DUBLIN POLICE
      THE WHITE QUAKER - At Henry-street, on Friday, Michael Meara
(apparently a labourer, who had formerly been a White Quaker), and David
Walker, were brought before Mr. Kelly, on a charge of having broken into the
house of the above community, at Newlands, on the Naas road, and stolen a
quantity of lead, a brass cock, a lantern, &c., therefrom.
      Constantine, a member of the sect, identified the trowsers worn by
Walker, as their property; but he could not say that they had been taken by
him.
      Mary Neale, a broker, said she purchased from Meara on Monday morning
ten pounds of lead, a brass cock and lantern, which she had since disposed
of.
      A boy named Duffan, about fourteen years of age, and attired in a
rather imperfect uniform, said he as concerned in the robbery with Meara,
and was with him when he sold the articles to the last witness.
      Mr. Kelly - Are you a White Quaker?
      Witness - I was; but am not now.
      Mr. Kelly - Who maintained you then?
     Witness - I was fed and clothed by the community free of expense.
      Mr. Kelly - Why did you leave?
      Witness - I was turned out for bad conduct; Meara belonged to them
before I did.
      Mr. Kelly - How many are there altogether?
      Witness - There are twenty-six.
      Mr. Kelly - How many men are there among the member?
      Witness - I cannot say.
      Mr. Kelly - Do marriages take place there?
      Witness - Yes.
      Mr. Kelly - Are you married?
      Witness - No.
      Mr. Kelly - Was Meara married then?
      Witness - He was not.
      A Police Constable - Your Worship, I understand that he brought in his
wife with him.
      Catherine examined - She was one o f the community, and on last
Wednesday night, about twelve o'clock, having heard windows and doors
breaking in she got up and saw Meara outside with a candle in his hand,
which he was lighting with a match; there were two others with him, who were
not then present; and she inquired what they wanted, and they replied, "Go
to the d___l;" she then said, "Do not give yourself up to the d___l, but
tell me what you want; that I may do it;" they said "We'll let you know when
we get in." They afterwards got in through one door, having broken it open
with iron bars, but took nothing, because a bell rang and they immediately
made off.
      Mr. Kelly - Are you certain that Meara was one of the party?
      Witness - Yes, I know him for he had lived in the place with us.
      Constantine was then examined.
      Mr. Kelly - What age are you?
      Constantine - Turning eighteen years.
      Mr. Kelly - How long are you in White Quaker?
      Constantine - Five years.
      Mr Kelly - Are you married?
      Constantine - Yes, my wife is here.
      Mr. Kelly - By whom were you married?
      Constantine - By consent of the whole community.
      Meara - Sure, your worship, they just hold on their hands and that is
the whole ceremony.
      Constantine's wife, in answer to Mr. Kelly, said she was nineteen years
of age, and had only joined the White Quakers a fortnight ago, and since
then she was married.
      Constantine re-examined.
      Mr. Kelly - Do you pay for your maintenance?
      Constantine - No.
      Mr. Kelly - Who is your head?
      Constantine - We acknowledge no head.
      Mr. Kelly - Who pays for your tea, sugar or milk?
      Constantine - We don't use tea, sugar or milk.
      Mr. Kelly - Then what do you live on?
      Constantine - On the produce of the land; such as wheat, meal and
barley.
      Mr. Kelly - Who pays for the land?
      Constantine - No individual person; all is paid for by the produce.
      Meara - Oh! your worship, one woman who lives with them pays 300l. a
year for it.
      Mr. Kelly committed Meara, and discharged the other prisoner.

PROVINCIAL NEWS
      LIMERICK, JAN. 22 - Captain O'Grady, M.P., John Thomas Walter, jun. Esq
of Castletown; and other county gentlemen, came into town yesterday in
expectation of meeting Mr. Blackburne. His presence, however, was totally
unnecessary; and Mr. Vokes and another Magistrate in the County Court-House,
and read his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant's Proclamation, withdrawing the
provisions of the Insurrection Act from this County, the entire of which is
now relieved from its operation. It is ardently to be wished that the
peasantry will evince a due sense of this indulgence, and refrain from any
further violations of the law, which must ever terminate to their
disadvantage.
      Since the restrictions of the Insurrection Act have been withdrawn from
Kerry, that County continues in a peaceable state; and it is earnestly hoped
that Government will encourage the good disposition of the peasantry, by
affording aid to the agricultural and commercial interests in that
quarter.--Chronicle.
      The terms upon which the Directors of the Bank of Ireland propose
forming a Branch of that National Establishment in this city, are understood
to be, the appointment of a resident Agent, with a salary of 500l. per
annum, to give security for 20,000l. and to guarantee all Bills and Notes
that may be discounted.--Chronicle.
      MULLINGAR, JAN. 20 - On Thursday night last, as Mr. Thomas Fitzgerald
of Ballinacarig, was returning home from this town, when at Slanemore-hill,
(about midway,) he was fired at from behind a ditch, by some villain or
villains, who lay in wait for him, but he happily escaped without receiving
any injury. Mr. Fitzgerald, from the flash of the pan, was enabled to
discern the person who fired at him. No reason can be assigned for this
atrocious act, but that Mr. Fitzgerald, being a tithe proctor, it was the
general opinion he was selected as a proper victim by the legislators of the
Ribon [sic] Society, which prevails in an alarming extent in this country.
      During the dreadful storm of Monday night last, a lock-keeper of the
Royal Canal, near Balinacarig, and his wife, were blown into the lock, where
they both perished. It is supposed they were engaged in opening the lock,
when the violence of the storm precipitated them into it.- They were found
next morning locked in each other's arms.
      A Gentleman in the neighbourhood of Fivemiletown, county of Dublin,
writes thus to his friend in Newry - "We are every day getting worse- a
night scarcely passes without outrages of the most barbarous nature. On
Monday evening, about seven o'clock in the evening, an inoffensive Catholic,
of the name of M'Caffery, sixty years old, a tailor, was met by the nightly
self-constituted patrols, and most inhumanly beaten; he has never spoken
since, and the Surgeon says he cannot recover. Such a state of things cannot
possibly be endured.
      In the Convict Receiving Ship, at the Cove of Cork, several conflicts
have taken place, between the Leinster men and Munster men- confirmed there,
all about the ridiculous claims of the superiority of their respective
places of birth. The Munster faction have provided themselves with
bludgeons, formed with canvass, rolled and made up as close as possible, and
loaded at either end with lead, stolen from the scupper-holes of the ship-
they made a furious attack upon the Leinster men, one of whom (a very able
man) lost his life, while several on both sides were desperately wounded.
Nothing more shows the want of early religious and moral education, than
this unhappy pre-disposition for fighting.

Lloyd, Esq., and proceeded to cut down and carry away a quantity of oats, a
party of nearly 200 persons having previously Sunday the 8th inst. removed

crops provided he gave up the possession of the land, which he refused to
do, although owing 20l. poor rate, which must ultimately fall on the

Hello back to you.  I didn't expect a reply ... just hope I was some help ... I
should thank you because out of my curiosity, I found out something new.  Good
luck in your search.

I should tell you, my Mother, who will be 95 in December goes on the internet
highway in her trusty WEBTV.   In other words she and I began just about the
same time as my son had started me on the WebTv...For the past eight years,
though, I've had a computer.  I just happened to look for my Mother's maiden
name one day and up popped more of the family.  My Mother's father had been the
youngest of 10 children and was born, in the 1950-s or 1860's and Mama thought
there were just not any relatives.   She knew of a couple cousins...that was it
and she thought they had already passed.  Anyway, I had that person contact Mom.
That person's son was active in genealogy and had a great deal of information
about the family.  Turns out there are cousins...She has written to them in
Australia, here in the United States and a number of places...One even brought
his mother to visit her and they all visited the family grave site that he was
able to find.  What a wonderful time she's had.  Keep on looking you just never
know who you'll locate.

My neighbor's family is from County Caven.  She has been even more active,
having them come to visit from Ireland and she has gone to visit them.  Her
father was a close friend of Michael Collins.... In fact, it was because of him
that her father had been able to come to the United States.  She spends a great
deal of time at the Mormon Libraries ... Here, in nearby Jupiter and in Michigan
where she and her husband also have a home.

   I am just a little more than curious as I don't have much time to look.  Seems
I get the ball rolling for someone else.

Good luck in your search...It's quite an adventure.

Loretta,
West Palm Beach, FL

By the way ...I just happened to think as I saw your email sailing off into the
unknown...You mentioned Dunne.  My Mother writes to someone by the name of
Dunne.  Is your Dunne any relationship to any Roneys, Connaghan, (et al) or
Gunson?

BALLINA CHRONICLE
Ballina, Co. Mayo
Wednesday, October 2, 1850


MISCELLANEOUS
      The non-commissioned officers and privates of the 6th Royals, Nenagh,
distribute in charity a large quantity of soup and bread daily to about
forty poor creatures.

      Mr. Staunton has ceased publishing the Dublin Weekly Register, on his
appointment to the new place of Collector of taxes.

      The ceremony of taking the white veil came off on Monday last, in the
church of the convent of St. Catherine of Sienna, at Clifton. The applicant
for admission to the sisterhood was Miss Fogg, a young lady of more than
ordinary personal attractions. - She was attended by her two sisters, and
twelve other bridesmaids, and her father and mother. The mass was celebrated
with a sermon preached by a priest of the Dominican order. The num was
habited by the abbess of the convent and an assistant nun, the robes having
been previously blessed by Bishop Hendren.

      Thomas Byrne, coachman to Philip Bagnel, Esq., of Bennekerry, Carlow,
fired at a dog with an old blunderbuss, which exploded and so dreadfully
shattered his hand as to render amputation necessary.

FATAL EFFECTS OF CHLOROFORM
      An inquest was held at the county Cavan Infirmary on Saturday, the 21st
instant, by William Pollock, Esq., Coroner, on the body of James Jones, a
patient of the infirmary, to whom chloroform had been administered on the
previous day, preparatory to an operation for the removal of his left leg,
the bones of which were in a state of disease. From the evidence it appeared
that the man was aware that there was some preparation of medicine that had
the power of "numbing the pain of an operation," and as he was not, as he
expressed it, " a good soldier," he begged this medicine might be used with
him on this occasion, as he was aware it had been applied to other patients
whom he named when undergoing similar operations. Mr. Henry Watty, who
prepared the quantity of chloroform used on this occasion, proved that he
measured 90 drops with great accuracy. From the evidence of Dr. Halpin, it
appeared that Jones had not inhaled the vapour above two-thirds of a minute,
until he began to manifest some of the symptoms that follow its
administration, and that before a minute had elapsed from its first
application to the patient he was fully under its influence. He also stated
that whilst the preparatory steps of the operation were being made, and
before Doctor Roe could commence the amputation of the limb, it was observed
that the patient's respiration and other symptoms were such as to require
the application of stimulants to arouse him from the effects of the
chloroform, but that although the strongest stimulation was had recourse to,
the patient did not rally and that life was extinct in a very short period,
from five to six minutes. - From Dr. Roe's evidence it appeared that Jones
had been in the hospital for several months, and that his state of health
was such as to "forbid an operation, as he had suffered from bowel complaint
very severely; that latterly his health having somewhat improved, he
considered that the operation would give him a fair chance of recovery, and
that it therefore had acceded to the patient's urgent request to have it
performed; that Jones was desirous to use the chloroform before the
operation, and that as there was no apparent objection to its use in his
case, he had determined on administering it. Dr. Roe also proved that the
quantity used with Jones was under ninety drops, and that it was not inhaled
more than a few minutes by him. He also showed that chloroform from the same
bottle which was used with Jones had been previously administered by him to
another patient in the hospital with complete success. After hearing some
other evidence to the same effect, the jury found the following verdict:-
      "We find that the above named James Jones came by his death in
consequence of the administration of chloroform applied at his own request,
and in the usual manner, without any blame being attributed to the medical
gentlemen who applied it.
           "CHARLES HILL, Barrister, Foreman.

MENDICITY

      IN acknowledging the Subscriptions and Donations for the last month,
the Managing Committee again avail themselves of this opportunity of
imploring their Fellow Townsmen to forbear from giving Alms in the street
and at their doors, the importance of encouraging strolling Beggars at  this
season, when contagious diseases are usually most prevalent, must be obvious
to every person; and they can assure those that are disposed to be
charitable, that there are both in the Mendicity and among those that are
allowed rations at their homes, objects, whose deplorable situations it
would be hardly possible to describe, for them to exercise their compassion
on, and whose nakedness and misery the most liberal allowances that the
Committee, in this present low state of its Funds, is able to afford, can go
but a very short way towards alleviating.
      In addition to the Subscriptions, the Committee gratefully acknowledges

DREADFUL FIRE

      About half-past twelve on Monday the house of Mr. Bristow, hatter, in
Sackville-street, corner of Earl-street, was observed to be on fire. The
fire commenced in the lower part of the house, and before an engine could
arrive, which was not until half an hour after the fire began, the entire
house, (which is a large one) was burning from the ground floor to the
garret. Before half-past one, the flames had communicated with the adjoining
houses on either side and it required the greatest exertions to prevent
their becoming prey to the raging element. There was at first but a scanty
supply of water, which had to be carried from the post-office in buckets,
but that deficiency was soon remedied by the water-casks of the paving
board. At a quarter to one, the side of Mr. Bristow's house, in Earl-street.
fell to the ground. The street where this happened is rather narrow, and on
seeing it fall, a cry of horror issued from the crowd, for it seemed quite
impossible that those who were near the house could escape being burned in
the rains. Fortunately the fear was groundless; not an accident occurred,
nor was the slightest injury sustained by any individual. At 20 minutes to
three, the front part of the house also fell in, but there was no fear of
any casualty, as the Guards, horse and foot, had for some time prevented the
people from approaching.
     So sudden and violent were the flames, that the inmates of the different
parts of the houses into which Mr. Bristow's is divided, had much difficulty
in saving their lives; the greater part of the little property conveyed into
the street is missing. Some of it, however we know, was lodged in some of
the adjacent houses by the peace officer. The accident occurred in
consequence of a pot of varnish, composed of materials highly inflammable,
boiling over, and the place being full of boxes, straw plait, &c., the
entire place was instantly ignited.
      By five o'clock the fire was completely extinguished. The house of
Messrs. Jones and Whitehead, in Sackville-street, adjoining to that of Mr.
Bristow, is a good deal injured; and the house which is next in Earl-street,
is injured, but not to the same extent. The Lord Mayor and Sheriffs were on
the spot at an early hour, and greatly exerted themselves. Many persons
residing in the neighbourhood also used their utmost exertions for the
extinction of the fire; amongst whom we remarked the Messrs. Elliot,
Sackville-street; Mr. Henderson, North Earl-street, and Mr. Ferguson, at the
National Auction Mart, &c., [ Dublin Paper.

MURDER OF A MAGISTRATE
      KILBEGGAN, COUNTY OF WESTMEATH,  TUESDAY, Sept. 24 - I hasten to
communicate briefly the particulars of a most dreadful murder that was
committed on the borders of this county, adjoining the King's at a place
called Rathue, situate about five miles from this town, in a peaceable part
of the country, on yesterday (Monday) between four and five o'clock in the
afternoon, occurring on a public road leading from this to Phillipstown and
Edenderry. The gentleman that fell a victim to the assassin was Roger North,
Esq. of Kilduff House, King's County, a magistrate and landlord in said
county. He was shot dead within one mile of his own house as he was
proceeding home on his return from inspecting some cattle, one or two of
which was sick, on a farm of his (Garryduff), nearly two miles from his
residence, Henry Pilkington, Esq., J.P., Toan Lodge, Tyrrellspass, having
paid him a visit on said day as he was going home. He then parted with him,
being old and intimate friends. Mr. North remained about an hour at the
farm. He then proceeded homewards to Kilduff, walking by himself,
unaccompanied by any person. When he got about a quarter of a mile beyond
Mr. Arthur Judge's, of Rathue, on a lonesome part of the road near three
farm houses, and where several persons were working in the fields, it is
supposed that the assassin laid wait for him behind the hedge and fired at
him, the shot taking effect in his side and back over the region of his
heart and chest. A large number of slugs and pellets, with which the
firepiece was loaded went though his body. The firearm must have been extra
loaded, and the deceased near to the shot that was fired. From all the
wounds he received he must have died instantly. He was discovered dead on
the road immediately afterwards. Sub-Inspector Sheil, with a party of police
from this town, proceeded early this morning to the place and arrested
several persons on suspicion. The coroner, Marcus Kelly, Esq., proceeded on
this day to hold an inquest on the body. Every means are being taken by the
authorities to get or discover the person or persons who committed the
dreadful deed. Up to this no clue or discovery has been made of the guilty.
It is considered he was murdered owing to his having lately sued some of his
tenants, on his Rathue property, with coersive severity. Such are the
rumours here at least, and I give them to you as they reached
me.--Correspondent of Freeman.

THE CONSTABULARY
      Head Constable Patterson, stationed in Ballymote for the last twelve
years, has been discharged on a pension of 33l. per annum.
      Constable J. Christopher has been promoted by Sir Dunean M'Gregor, to
the vacant Head-Constableship, on the recommendation of Capt. Lawson.
      Head-Constable Scott, of Clogher is removed to Ballymote, and will be
replaced by Head-Constable Christopher.-- Sligo Chronicle.
      The Ennisnag outrage, Kilkenny, will be attended with fatal results,
Constable Kelly's recovery is despaired of. The case of Sub-Constable
Reardon is extremely perilous. Sub-Constable Holmes seems to be out of
danger. Government has issued a proclamation offering a reward of £100 for
information tending to lead to the conviction of the miscreants concerned in
the attrocious [sic] outrage on the police.
      Constables Hall and Balfour who were wounded in the conflict with the
peasantry at Killoughy when Sub-Constables Gleeson and Mortimer were shot
dead, have been awarded by the Inspector-General a chevron each, in addition
to which Constable Hall gets £10, and Constable Balfour £6.

MEETING OF GUARDIANS
      BALLINA UNION - The usual weekly meeting of the Guardians of this Union
was held in the Boardroom on Saturday, Colonel Knox Gore in the chair. There
was a large attendance of ex-officio and elected Guardians, among whom was
noticed Mr. Pratt, Major J.F. Knox, Mr. Malley, Mr John Walsh, Mr. Paget,
Mr. Jones, Mr. A. Knox, Mr. E. Orme, Mr. G. Orme, Mr. H. Joynt, Mr. W.
Joynt, Captain Atkinson, Mr. Wills and Mr. Cunningham. Captain Hamilton, the
Union Inspector, was also present.
      Mr. Cunningham acted in the capacities of Guardians and reporter for
the Tyrawly Herald.
      The Clerk having read the minutes of the proceedings of the last day of
meeting, and the communications from the Poor Law Commissioners.
      Mr. Paget and Mr. Malley called the attention of the Board to several
robberies of wearing apparel and other articles from the Workhouse which had
come under their notice.
      The Master then having been called in, stated that it was impossible
for him to prevent these robberies, as he had in the house a set of the
greatest robbers in the country and the only way in which they could be
checked was by a boundary wall to prevent a communication with accomplices
outside. He said that a great quantity of clothing is continually being
taken away by absconders who appear to come into the house for no other
purpose.
      Mr. Paget then proposed and Mr. Pratt seconded the following resolution
which was adopted unanimously-
      "That in consequence of the repeated acts of robbery of union property,
and the impossibility of an efficient check being placed on such robberies
without a boundary wall -resolved that an application be made to the Poor
Law Commissioners with a view of obtaining a loan of 250l. for the purpose
of completing the boundary wall which was commenced last year."
      The Doctor, in making application for medicines, stated that in cases
of typhus fever the use of wine was absolutely necessary, and that it was
more than probable one or two of his patients would have died last week were
it not for wine. He had in his estimate for the week taken off a dozen of
porter and 3 lbs of arrowroot, and now asked for only 9 bottles of wine, one
for the Fever Hospital and the other for the infirmary.
      Colonel Gore was of opinion that so far as wine was necessary for
medical purposes it should be allowed and rather than undo so soon what they
had resolved upon last week, he would willingly pay for it out of his own
pocket for a fortnight.
      Captain Hamilton said that he would take any three of the Guardians to
the Hospital and if they, after seeing some of the patients there, were of
opinion that wine should not be allowed, he would not ask for it.
      Captain Atkinson and other Guardians objected to any wine being
allowed, and remarked how absurd appear to act contrary to their resolution
passed law week.
      Captain Hamilton then desired the Doctor to get wine if required for
the week and he would pay for it.
      Mr. Jones, who was the principal person in causing the wine to be
discontinued, came into the Board-room at this stage of the proceedings and
on the necessity for the use of wine as a medicine being represented to him,
he said he would have no objection to one bottle being allowed.
      Colonel Gore then said that it were better to allow the matter to
remain as it stood at present and leave the use of wine to the discretion of
the Doctor, who would not find the Guardians unreasonable whenever he would
have occasion for wine medicinally.
      On the tenders for groceries, &c., being opened, Captain Atkinson
proposed the following resolution which was carried without a dissenting
voice:-
      "That the weekly rations of the officers of this house form this date
be on the following scale, viz: Tea, 2 oz., Sugar, 1lb, Bread, 10 lbs, Meat,
3 1/2 lbs.Milk, 3 1/2 quarts."
      Mr. Cunningham then proposed "That in future the use of tea, sugar,
beef and mutton and such luxuries to the officers of this union be
discontinued; the Master and Matron excepted, and that they be put no a
plain dietary of bread, milk and stirabout." This resolution passed without
any opposition from any Guardian.
      Mrs. Bredin was declared contractor for Indian Meal at £7 18s. 6d. per
ton for three months. - Tenders were in for the same article from Messrs.
Gallagher and Co. at £8 4s. 6d. and from Mr. W. Malley, jun., at £8 per ton.
      Mr. Malley obtained the contract for oatmeal at £9 per ton.
      Mr. Foley got the contract for white bread at 5d. per the 4 lb. loaf
and Mr. West for brown bread at 3d. per 4 lbs. loaf.
      The contracts for other articles were as follows: Turf, Daniel
O'Connor, at 3 1/2d. per box- Lime, Neaty Holeran, 5d. per barrel - Coffins,
Mrs. Bredin, 3s. 5d. each- Beef and Mutton, Bernard Callaghan, at 21/2d. per
lb.- Milk, Mr. E. Atkinson, at 15d. per 20 quarts for new, and 8d. per 20
quarts for butter milk, for twelve months.
      Mr. M'Kenzie was appointed Relieving Officer for Crossmolina, North
Relief District.
      The tender from Mr. Henry Joynt, on the part of Colonel Gore, for
renting 25 statute acres in connexion with the Ardnaree Auxiliary Workhouse
for the purpose of being cultivated by the pauper inmates, was accepted at
30s. per statute acre.
      It was agreed to respectfully call the attention of the Poor Law
Commissioners to the fact that the schedule of debts up to the 17th of May
last, amounting to £1800, lies undischarged till the Commissioners be forced
to send funds out of the government advancements pay it off.
      After disposing of the usual routine business the Guardians separated.

Hi Cathy,

Thank you for continuing to  provide interesting bits of history. Is the Mr.
Joynt mentioned in the article your relative?
---------------------
No, not my relative but from a large Mayo branch of the Joynts (as opposed
to the large Limerick branch of the Joynts). They were CI and mine were RC.
I do, however, research anyone of the JOINT / JOYNT persuasion.
See some research at http://www.celticcousins.net/joynt/index.htm
