Dear Kay,

A thousand thanks.
I have just joined the Cavan Mailinglist to try and find out, where Hugh Cox
came from. I had estimated the year of his marriage to Mary Quigly as 1877
and sent for the wedding Certificate, which I received last week.
And then suddenly, the announcement of their marriage turns up on your page
with far more information than I got from the Certificate. What a wonderful
coincident.
The bride, Mary Quigly was an older sister of Victoria Quigly, my husbands
grandmother.
I have for years tried to confirm their fathers first name and his
profession and there it is. On the Certificate it just said "deces", not
even giving his name!
Also, I am doing research for Hugh Cox's Grandchildren, and Greatgrand
children in Australia. Now I might be able to find out more about their Cox
relations in Co. Cavan
Thank you again so much.

With kind regards

Inga Jackson,
New Zealand.

DELIBERATE SUICIDE BY DROWNING. - On Sunday forenoon, between ten and
eleven o'clock, a man was observed at the water's edge of Ringsend Basin, at
Grand Canal quay, in the act of divesting himself of the upper portion of
his wearing apparel. This did not attract very much notice, the locality
being somewhat out of the way and unfrequented. Presently, however, he was
seen to place himself in a half-sitting attitude on the brink of the basin
and gradually slide into the water. Before some young men who were in the
vicinity could reach the spot he had disappeared. The basin was at once
dragged, and after an hour's exertions the body was discovered. Edward
O'LOGHLIN, of 53 Townsend-street, recognized it as that of his brother, John
O'LOUGHLIN, of No. 1, Shaw's Cottages, aged thirty-four years. No cause has
been assigned for the rash act. The body was removed to the Morgue, where
an inquest was held on it on Monday, the jury returning a verdict to the
effect that the!
deceased committed suicide while in a state of temporary insanity.





KILLED ON THE RAILWAY.

On Friday morning when some of the men engaged in the ballast pit at
Loughbrown, near Newbridge, and convenient to the branch line which leads to
the Curragh Grand Stand, were proceeding to their work, they discovered the
dead body of Private Robert WALSH, 75th Regiment, lying beside the rails,
with his head severed from the body. Information was quickly conveyed to
the stationmaster at Newbridge, who at once put himself in communication
with the constabulary, and also with the military authorities at the
Curragh. No opinion can be formed, pending the inquest, as to whether his
death was accidental or otherwise. The railway authorities are making all
possible inquiries, but up to the present it is not known by what train the
deceased met his death, but it has been ascertained that it must have been
by an up-train to Dublin.





DEATH OF COUNTY-INSPECTOR FAWCETT.

Armagh, Friday.

I deeply regret that I have to announce the death, at the age of
sixty-four, of one of the most esteemed gentlemen that we have had amongst
us. Robert FAWCETT, Esq., County Inspector of Armagh, has passed away. In
private life he was a genial, hospitable, kind, and sincere friend, while in
public life he was the perfection of a good officer. He has left after him
seven sons; six followed their father's corpse to the grave, the seventh is
in Australia. At half-past nine o'clock precisely this morning, - the hour
appointed for the funeral - on the coffin being put in the hearse, at his
late residence, the Folly Lodge, Armagh, the cortege moved slowly down the
carriageway, and proceeded through the city to the railway terminus. Along
the line of route the shops were, out of respect to his memory, closed.
After the hearse walked his six sons, and after them one hundred rank and
file of the Royal Irish, four deep, followed by detachments of the 89th and
the 94th Regim!
ents, at present lying here. Immediately after these came the staff of the
Armagh Light Infantry. The intimate friends of the late captain assembled
in large numbers, and followed, walking two by two, and very many of the
citizens accompanied the mournful cortege. Following the mourning coach and
the deceased's own private carriage were those of the following: - His
Grace the Lord Primate, Colonel SIMPSON, Mr. Robert BOYD, J.P.; Mrs. COOTE,
Mr. Robert M'CRUM, Rev. Mr. MORGAN, &c. Arrived at the train, the coffin
was placed in a carriage by four of the deceased's most trusty and oldest
sergeants, when they, with the sub-inspectors and the immediate relatives,
left very shortly for Enniskillen, the native place of the Fawcett family.
The deceased was highly respected in the county, and his death is
universally regretted. Messrs. FRIZELLE, of Armagh, had charge of the
funeral arrangements. - Cor. Of Belfast News-Letter.





DEPORTATION OF IRISH PAUPERS.

A Jersey correspondent writes that the authorities in that island have
a rough-and-ready way of getting rid of any parochial burdens, actual or
prospective, when the unfortunate creature who has the ill-luck to fall into
a destitute condition happens to be in the language of country, un etranger.
The term is of rather wide application, inasmsuch as it includes not only
"foreigners" in the usual meaning of the term, but even natives of Great
Britain - all in fact not born in Jersey. Nor does the exception hold good
in every instance. According to the dictum of the Crown officers of the
island, "the child follows the fortune of the father," so that a child born
of English or Irish parents on Jersey soil is not entitled to the benefit of
the national privileges. A couple of cases have just been brought to public
notice. One of them was that of Mary KENNEDY, an Irishwoman, who had been
sent to prison thirty-five times by the police magistrate for drunkenness
and distu!
rbing the peace, and was sent at last by him before the Royal Court for
heavier punishment than he was able to give her. Her husband, who is a few
years her senior, has been for some time an inmate of the workhouse, being
unable to labour, and a child ten years old is also in that establishment.
The husband and child were brought to the bar in company with Mary Kennedy
and in reply to his examiners Kennedy stated that he was a native of
Wexford, and had been in Jersey thirty-six years, his wife having been there
twenty-four years. The Court decided to get rid of the two, and ease the
ratepayers of any further trouble on their account, by ordering their
"removal to their place of settlement." As this proceeding, however, would
cost the ratepayers a considerable sum of money, the "removal" really means
simply transporting them to Southampton, and casting them adrift penniless
to find their way to Wexford if they can. The chances of reaching that
remote locality are very !
small, and it is very unlikely that they attempt. The probability is
that in a short time they will be bundled back to Jersey as their proper
place of settlement, to be again flung across the Channel on the chance of
finding a settlement somewhere.
