THE CAVAN HERALD JULY 26, 1825

CARLOW ASSIZES--JULY 11
Before the Right Hon. Lord Norbury.

His Lordship entered the crown court at 12 o'clock, when the commission was read, the panel called over, and the following gentlemen sworn on the Grand Jury:--

Henry BRUEN, Esq., M.P., Foreman.
William BROWNE, Esq., John S. ROCHFORE, Esq., Sir Charles BURTON, Bart., Robert DOYNE, Esq., Wm. F. BURTON, Esq., John D. DUCKETT, Esq., Wm. R. STEWART, Esq., James BUTLER (Broomville) Esq., John F. CORNWALL, Esq., John WHEALAN, Esq., Walter NEWTON, Esq., John ALEXANDER, Esq., Thomas ELLIOT, Esq., Henry FALKINER, Esq., John HUMFRY, Esq., Robert EUSTACE, Esq., Gilbert P. RUDKIN, Esq., Walter BLACKNEY, Esq., Pilsworth WHELAN, Esq., John WATSON, Esq., Thomas WATSON, Esq., and Adam B. FULTUS, Esq.

His Lordship addressed several Gentlemen of the bar as they entered the court, Messrs. GRATTAN, PLUNKETT, DARCY, BETHEL, &c.

It was remarked that his Lordship looked extremely well--he was evidently in good spirits and wore a new wig--upon which Mr. BETHEL observed that he had a lease of his life with a clause of "toties quoties."

Bridget MEANY was indicted for feloniously, wilfully and maliciously setting fire to a stable, the property of Margaret CAHIL of Madlin, parish of Ballyknocken, on the night of the 7th of March last.--This was a crown prosecution and altho' it occupied the Court for a considerable time, the facts lay within the compass of a nutshell.

The prosecutrix swore that her house was set fire to on the night stated in the indictment. That her husband (who was bed ridden) and her children were asleep at the time; it was between nine and ten o'clock at night; that Michael MAHER, son of Darby MAHER, of Kilethrope, called up the prosecutrix, and apprised her of her danger; that prosecutrix immediately ran out and saw the prisoner running from the house; she next morning lodged informations before Mr. STEWART of Leighlinbridge, and had the prisoner arrested on Easter Tuesday. These facts were elicited by the Court....

The prisoner, not having any Counsel employed, had recourse to criminating prosecutrix with having seduced her to Dublin, where she was made an instrument of gain to the prosecutrix in a course of prostitution and infamy too shocking to dwell here upon. The prosecutrix afterwards finding prisoner's charms no long marketable, brought her thence to this country, where through similar scenes of turpitude, she ultimately became unhealthy and debased; that she lingered under the afflictions of want and disease in the house of the prosecutrix, where she lay concealed for eleven months, and that when her friends inquired for her, prosecutrix would lock her up in a chest !--[Here an indescribable scene of confusion, crimination, and recrimination arose between the two women,] prosecutrix said " you had the run of the house, you varmint, (laughing), the dock is too good for you, you robbing thief....The likes of me, set you up, you baggage," (continued laughter) "yes, the things wer!
e mine, and you lit the only bit of a fire you had to burn the house inside, and signs by it, the neighbours said so, and you threw you water upon it to quench it, and it's all this I am in Jail for to-day, but the old hay will have you yet." (Shouts of Laughter.) Prisoner not guilty.--Discharged.

ENNIS ASSIZES
MONDAY--JULY 18

About six o'clock, the Hon Baron PENNEFATHER arrived in town, and shortly after went into Court, and opened his Commission, dated 15th July 1825. The following Grand Jury were sworn.--

Right Hon. Wm. V. FITZGERALD, Foreman.
Right Hon. J. O. VANDELEUR, Sir A. FITZGERALD, Sir Hugh D. MASSAY, Lucias O'BRIEN, Thomas BROWNE, Wm. N.

Immediately after which his Lordship addressed them nearly as follows:--

GENTLEMEN OF THE GRAND JURY.--Upon looking over the Calendar of prisoners for trial, I find it does not contain any crime to require any particular observation from me......you will not find any Bill, but where evidence is produced to you, that would if uncontradicted, lead to a conviction....I do not think it necessary to detain you any longer. The Court will sit every morning at nine o'clock, and I hope you will meet at an earlier hour to enable me to dispose of the public business.
