Married, At Armagh, on the 27th ult. by the Rev. P. S. Henry, MATTHEW BAILLIE, Esq. M. D. of the 79th Regiment, to ANNE, daughter of Lieut. Thomas Gibons, H. P. 37th Regiment. **************************** Died, In Ballyrath, near Armagh, on the 27th ult., in the 69th year of his age, the Rev. WILLIAM HUTCHINSON, a gentleman who signalized himself at an early period of his life in Trinity College, Dublin, as an accomplished scholar. He was a man of extensive information--whose mind was stored with interesting anecdotes, which he related with great candour, energy, and humour. He was a fond husband--a kind and affectionate father--a steady friend--and a man who wished well to the whole human race. He was the survivor of three brothers, who in the prime of their youth attracted universal attention at the general reviews of Volunteer Corps in Belfast and Newry, for their remarkable elegance and symmetry of features and of form. In activity -- in muscular power, they could not have been excelled by any three men in Ulster. Mr. Hutchinson, prior to his entering into the Church, was a member of the Second Armagh Corps of Volunteers, raised in the year 1789, in which he was a very active and useful member. **************************** To Mr. ISAAC CORRY COWAN, SIR,--We, the Undersigned, request that you will call a General Meeting of the TENANTS of the Most Noble the Marquis of ANGLESEA, in the County of Down, for the purpose of adopting such measures as will meet their approbation for preparing an humble Address, expressive of our gratitude towards that Nobleman, for his kind and generous conduct towards us, his Tenantry, in the County of Down, and to congratulate him on his arrival in this Country.

DEAR SIR,--I beg permission to notify, through your widely circulated paper, that a collection is carrying on for the relief of the poor of Newry, who are suffering such extreme privation at this particular season of the year.--The liberal efforts which were made at correspondent periods in former years, afford an assurance to the friends of benevolence, that the same active feeling will again revive, inasmuch as the same wants exist, equally as painful to reflect upon, and equally as loud in their cry for alleviation. I beg to remain, Dear Sir, very faithfully, GEORGE EDMONDS, Curate of St. Mary's, Newry. --The smallest sum will be received by Mr. WM. BLACKMAN, Bookseller, Hill-street, who has kindly promised to hold it for the above charity. **************************** |
Servants.—On
Saturday last a servant was sent to the House of Correction, to labour
ten days for being drunk—his name was Mannix. And on Monday another,
named Shea, was also sent there for the like offence. This proceeding
is very summary, and if resorted to when deserved, might in some degree
lessen the grievance.—Cork Paper. **************************** THE AMICABLE ANNUITY COMPANY OF NEWRY WILL Meet at MURRAY'S TAVERN, on WEDNESDAY the 6th of February next, at the hour of TWELVE o'Clock, to transact the business of the Company, and afterwards to Dine together. Such Persons as wish to become Members are desired to apply to the Register, 14 days previous to, and appear at, the Meeting, otherwise they cannot be ballotted for. WILLIAM OGLE, Register. Newry, January 8, 1828. **************************** COURT OF APPEALS DUBLIN. IMPORTANT EXCISE CASE. Walkers, Appellants – Coleman, Respondents. This case, which has excited a great deal of interest, was decided on the 22d. ult. in favour of the Appellants—the facts are as follow [sic] :--By an Act of Parliament passed in 1818, Brewers are prohibited from having raw corn in their concerns, under a penalty of two hundred pounds for the first offence, and five hundred for the second and every subsequent offence. In the summer of 1826, the appellants, who are brewers of the first respectability, and carry on the business at Fermoy, dismissed two persons from their employment for dishonesty, and those persons immediately stated to the board of Excise that they could prove that their late employers had been in the habit of violating the above mentioned law ; the consequence was that informations, seeking to inflict penalties to the amount of thirty thousand pounds, were filed against Messrs. Walker, and brought to trial before Sub-Commissioners of Excise, who gave judgment in favour of the prosecutors. The defendants, however, appealed, and after a very minute investigation of all the facts of the case, the judgment of the Sub-Commissioners has been reversed. **************************** ABDUCTION.—On the night of Sunday last, the house of John Tierney, an industrious man, residing at Lismacrory, in Lower Ormond, County Tipperary, was attacked by a banditti of ruffians, who said they came to search for Connaughtmen. On being refused admittance, they directly smashed in the door and seized Jane Tierney, his daughter, and forcibly dragged her out of the house, declaring that they intended her to be married to Patrick Leehy, one of their party. John Tierney escaped through a back window, to the house of the Rev. John Conolly, a Magistrate, and informed him of the circumstance—immediately Lieut. William Doolan, C. C. and John S. Connolly, Esq. commenced an active pursuit on foot, with two Police Constables, some of Mr. Connolly’s tenants, and Tierney’s friends, who, after a most harassing search, of twenty miles, succeeded in apprehending the ruffian Leehy, who had concealed himself under a bed, in the house of his uncle, John Fitz-Gerald, in the King’s County. Leehy has been committed to Clonmel Gaol, to stand his trial at the next assizes. The poor girl who was carried off in nearly a state of nudity, we are happy to say, escaped any injury, but what resulted from being dragged a length of way exposed to the cold and damp of the night.—Limerick Chronicle. **************************** On Monday morning last, about two o’clock, an attempt was made to steal a cart from Mr. Markey, of Glasspystle, near Clogher, County of Louth, by two men, who brought a horse ready harnessed to take it away ; but an alarm being given, they ran off, leaving the horse on the road. It is supposed they had stolen the horse, and any person having lost one lately, would do well to apply to Serjeant Kelly, at the Police Barracks, Termon-Fechin.—Drogheda Journal. **************************** WE request that no Person Pay MICHAEL M’NALLY any MONEY, on our account—as he has left our employment, and is not empowered to settle any accounts for us. (Signed) FERGUSON & FOWKE. ANTRIM, Jan. 2, 1828 **************************** FERMOY PETTY SESSIONS. IMPORTANT TO THE PROPRIETORS OF STAGE COACHES. James Burke O’Henrican v. James Grubb. This case came on to be heard last Saturday, at the Petty Sessions held at Fermoy, before the Bench of Magistrates who annually preside in that Court. The Earl of Mount Cashel, in the Chair. It was a prosecution against the defendant, as proprietor of a stage Coach, “for having on the 17th October last, conveyed certain letters by his stage coach, between Fermoy and Cork, contrary to law, whereby he incurred a penalty of ten pounds, late Irish currency.” The facts as appeared were briefly these:--On the 13th Oct. the prosecutor stopped this coach, and took out of it a parcel containing some stockings and other goods—the letters relating to which he kept, and sent forward the goods to the owners. It was stated that it could be clearly proved, that this coach was a common conveyance for goods and passengers between Fermoy and Cork, and it was therefore contended, that the proprietor is “a common known carrier” within the meaning of the Act, and therefore not liable to the penalty sought to be recovered. The Court having looked into the Act, and the section above alluded to having been commented on at some length by the noble Chairman, (who explained with much perspicuity how it bore upon the present case,) the Magistrates present were unanimously of opinion, that this charge could not be sustained, and they accordingly dismissed it. **************************** PROTECTOR Fire Insurance Company OF LONDON. THE attention of the Public is invited to the consideration of the very superior advantages offered by this Company, viz. :-- That the PROFITS will be divided at the expiration of every Seven Years, as follows—Two-Thirds amongst the Insured, On Policies of not less than Twelve Months standing ; One-Third amongst the Proprietors. The Rates of Premium upon the First, Second and Third Class of Risks ARE REDUCED, And will in future be One Shilling and Sixpence, Two Shillings and Sixpence, and Four Shillings and Sixpence. ROBERT DENVIR, Jun. Agent for DOWNPATRICK and Vicinity **************************** SEVEN THOUSAND POUNDS, TO BE LENT, by the AMICABLE ANNUITY COMPANY of NEWRY. Application to be made (if by Letter, post-paid) to JOSEPH GLENNY, Esq. NEWRY, or 15, North Cumberland-street, DUBLIN ; or to WM. OGLE, Register. Newry, 18th October, 1827. **************************** |
