BAILIEBOROUGH HILARY QUARTER SESSIONS
These Sessions commenced in Bailieborough to-day at about 11 o'clock, before P.M. MURPHY, Esq., Q.C. Assistant Barrister, for this county, and John VEEVERS, Esq., R.M., Bailieborough. The business thereat is extremely light, as usual, there being only two prisoners in custody, for trial, for larceny, 28 crown numbers in all, two of them being for having unregistered arms in their possession; 182 civil bills, 10 ejectments, and one replevin.
Shortly after the sitting of the Court, the following persons were empanelled and sworn on THE GRAND JURY.
Messrs. Richard CLARKE, foreman, Thomas CHAMBERS, Stuart CHAMBERS, Henry JAMES, Robert SMALL, Henry GIBSON John GILMER, Moses COX, James CRANSTON, Thomas CRANSTON, Joseph REILLY, Gerald WILLIAMSON, James Henry WILSON, Michael CONNOR, Patrick REILLY, John RUSH, Charles M'COMB, James M'CULLOGH, Thomas HALL, and Edward BROOKER.
His Worship briefly addressed them, congratulating them upon the lightness of the calendar. They then retired, and having disposed of the two bills sent up to them, they were discharged before 12 o'clock.
CROWN BUSINESS.
A petty jury having been empanelled and sworn, the following criminal trials were proceeded with.
Bridget GARVEY, aged 28 years, an unfortunate prostitute was indicted for having at Kingscourt, on the 2nd January, the fair day of that town, stolen £5 in bank notes, £1 in gold, and some silver, from the person of John CASSIDY, son of a farmer of that name, residing at Kilmainham wood, in the county of Meath.
By the prosecutor's account of the transaction, and his admissions on his cross-examination by Mr. John ARMSTRONG, who appeared for the prisoner, his moral character did not appear to be of a very high order. Mr. Armstrong made a very eloquent and affecting appeal to the court and jury on behalf of the prisoner which elicited the admiration and approbation of the auditory and the bench, but notwithstanding, the jury after considerable deliberation returned a verdict of guilty.
The prisoner was sentenced to four months imprisonment with hard labour suitable to her sex.
We cannot give the details of this trial, as they are inadmissible into the columns of any respectable journal.
AN OVER ZEALOUS POLICEMAN
Patrick SLEVIN, aged 23 years, an old offender, was indicted for having at Cortubber (sic), near Cootehill, on the 6th November last, stolen 3 1/2 lbs. of bacon, the property of Wm. REID.
The principal witness was Susan FLOOD, a female of bad repute, who, it appeared, upon her cross examination by the prisoner, peached (sic) against him, at the instance of John KNOX, constable, a member of the Constabulary force stationed in Cootehill.
The learned barrister denounced the conduct of Sergeant KNOX, for resorting to such sinister means to procure the conviction of the prisoner, notwithstanding his antecedents, as it was contrary to the spirit of the laws and constitution of these realms so to do.
The prisoner was acquitted.
The prisoner we understand has since his enlargement committed another robbery in Cootehill, and been recommitted to the Bridewell of that town for the offense.
BIRTH
On the 10th instant, at Hill House, near Bridgewater, the Countess of Cavan, of a son.
MARRIAGES
On the 9th instant, at Ballibay, by the Rev. Mr. CARNEY P.O., James BAKER, Esq., T.C. Enniskillen, to E. A. HUGHES, only daughter of John James HUGHES, Esq., of Ballibay.
At Anghavea Church, by the Rev. Joseph CALDWELL, Letitia Maria, youngest daughter of Robert L. CARTER, Esq., of Curraghall House, county Fermanagh, to Armour MATTHEWS, Esq., of Doogary Cottage, county Tyrone.
DIED
At Cootehill, on Monday evening, the 8th instant, Sarah, the beloved wife of Mr. John CAMPBELL. Her amiable character, and naturally loving heart, endeared her to many, very many valued friends, who now deeply sympathise with her bereaved husband and family, whose great consolation is the knowledge of her peaceful, happy, and triumphant end.
