7-4-1836 From the Times

On Thursday last a wealthy farmer, named Andrew Ryan, was arrested in the
town of Nenagh, under a writ of rebellion from the Court of Exchequer. He
protested most vehemently against the proceedings, and offered to give
security to the amount of 700/. To pay the amount of his Tithe. On being
asked why he sought to give bail, his replied that his object was to see how
his neighbours similary circumstanced were disposed to the act, and also to
await the decision of Parliament on the Irish Tithe Bill. He was committed
to prison.



Last week a Tithe collector, with a party of Police from Nenagh, went
amongst the hills of Castle Otway, to serve writs of rebellion. The first
writ was a man named Kennedy, whose house was surrounded by the police
whilst the tithe-cillector and his Bailiffs searched within, but "The bird
had flown". On the return of the party, some cattle belonging to an
extensive landholder, named Short, were distrained for non payment of
Tithes, and impounded.



An idvididual described as "John O'Brien, Esq. of Hogan's Pass" was last
week arrested on a writ of rebellion. In order to avoid going to gaol, he
paid the amount of his tithes, with costs. The debt was 33/. The costs 17/.
