BARONY OF RATHVILLY
EXTRAORDINARY PRESENTMENT SESSIONS

    On Monday, pursuant to proclamation by the Lord Lieutenant, the first Extraordinary Sessions for this county under the act took place at Tullow. As it was generally believed that large number of the labouring classes would be in attendance, and fearing any disturbance to the proceedings, the Magistrates wisely ordered a strong constabulary force and a company of the 64th regiments from Carlow to be present. We are gratified however, to state that no noise or tumult took place, and the proceedings were carried on as usual, without any attempt at intimidation whatsoever. The people conducted themselves with propriety, although they displayed some anxiety about the regulation of wages; but the rate of wages being by a minute of the treasury, left to the discretion of the Board of Works, the Court had nothing to do with it, and therefore could not entertain the question, even if it came properly before the. the trustees and cess payers in attendance were:–
ROBERT DOYNE, ESQ., Chairman
    Robert C. Browne, James Butler, John Whelan, John James Lecky,  James Eustace, Samuel Elliott, Clement Wolsely, James H. Eustace, Wm. J. Westby, Thomas S. Dennis, Esqrs.
    Cess-payers–Messrs James Warren, John Dowse, John Mathers, Wm. Young, Robert Giltrap.
    Mr Browne, the secretary to the Grand Jury; Mr Walker, County Surveyor, and Mr Burchell, Engineer to the Board of Works, were officially in attendance.
Among those gentlemen who were present at the proceedings were:–
    Captain McClintock Bunbury, M.P.; the Hon. and Ven. Archdeacon Stopford, Colonel Whelan, The Rev.T.B. Magennis, the Rev. John Gahan, the Rev. J.B. Johnstone, the Rev. Mr Featherstone, Rev. J. Muldowney, Rev. Mr Morrin, Hardy Eustace, W.W.F. Hume, William Elliott, Thomas Whitty, Shepherd Jones, Robert Carter, and Paul Carter, Esqrs.
    Owing to the deplorable error committed by the government making no provision for permanent improvements, the Court were constrained to pursue the old track in presenting for the cutting down of hills, filling up hollows, and making new roads, and at the close of the proceedings the sums presented for the relief of the barony amounted to 3000l. The net value of the property in the barony of Rathvilly, according to Mr Griffith's survey, is £35 6s7; it follows, therefore, that under the relief act the amount to be levied off the land is about one tenth of the whole, EXCLUSIVE of what has already been raised, and the current charges on the land for county and poor rates, &c. and consequently the Court acted with prudence in husbanding their resources, while the sum presented for was very liberal, and our only regret is that this sum is not expended on works that may hereafter render the land more productive, and at some future period, afford some shadow of remuneration for the outlay to the owner and occupier.

AUGUST, 1852

On Monday August 9th 1852, The Times published the following piece ... "extracted from the Carlow Sentinel of this day, is another illustration of "freedom of election", as it is understood at this side of the Channel:- 

   "On Thursday last, one of the most murderous attacks it was our painful duty to record after a contested election was made on a respectable Roman Catholic, the son of a freeholder of this county, near Lisnevagh, the residence of Captain M'Clintock Bunbury. At an early hour Mr. John Regan, an extensive road contractor, proceeded with two men to raise some gravel from a pit in the neighbourhood. On his arrival at the pit, about 20 men pounced on their victim, whom they designated a 'bloody Bruenite'. He was knocked down, brutally maltreated with stones and shovels, and finally left in a  state of insensibility. Intelligence having reached Lisnevagh, Captain Bunbury ordered his carriage, proceeded to the spot where this outrage was committed, and conveyed Mr. Regan to the County Infirmary, where he now lies in a dangerous state under the care of Dr. Rawson. We may judge of the savage character of his assailants, when we inform the reader that Mr. Regan sustained a compound fracture of the arm, had eleven wounds on the head, one of which, it is feared, is accompanied by a fracture, as a splinter from the skull was taken off, and that his body, from head to foot, was covered with bruises, the effects of kicks and blows while lying on the ground. Mr. Regan's father voted for Colonel Bruen and Captain Bunbury; and the son is thus punished because his father exercised the privilege of an elector in a county governed by British law. Here are some of the fruits of those fanatical harangues delivered during the last month, when we were told in the public streets that the contest was one between 'God and the devil'. Five of the parties concerned in this inhuman outrage have been arrested, and committed to the County Gaol for trial at the assizes. Their names are Hugh Carty, John Carty, James Carty (three brothers), James Walsh, and Patrick Bryan. We regret to state that the life of Mr. Regan is in imminent peril".

HUNTING
THE CARLOW AND ISLAND HOUNDS.
    The meet last Saturday was at Tullow, where a goodly gathering of the followers and admires of the Ballydarton pack met the veteran Master with the heartiest of greetings. It was in every sense of the word "a fine hunting day." The word was given for Ballymurphy, which proved worthy of first call, as it provided a rattling good fox. Which, after a "preliminary canter" in the shape of a ring run round the covert, got away at the off end, and after crossing the road, and at a short distance, a big wire fence intervened. Recently a gate to facilitate difficulties like the present had been put up, but it was too narrow, and particularly so when a crowd of excited men on horseback were anxious to get through together. The natural result was that there was a lot of unnecessary danger, but nothing serious occurred. The hounds were now making head at a great pace through Coppenagh and Kill as if the fox had taken a line for Lisnevagh. As he got headed he wheeled across the road and raced forward as if his point were Butlersgrange. The pace continued at the same grand rate, and after a twist to right some big doubles were encountered which, as there were some empty saddles visible along the line, seemed to disorganise the hunt, as they considerably reduced the number of those able to keep up with the hounds. As the fox was keeping his own the pursuit received its first check just at the back of a farmyard – a good twenty-five minutes from the find. After getting on the line again reynard was hunted back to his original quarters at Ballymurphy, where he got to ground after showing some capital sport. Trotted on to Lisnevagh, which was drawn blank. At Butlersgrange the Master was more successful. There were a couple of foxes in the covert, and their presence was immediately discovered. The hounds having made choice he took the line to the top of the road where, as he was headed, he wheeled to right and raced down to the river, thence over the high road and into Lisnevagh, where he got to ground in an old rabbit-hole.
    Tuesday’s fixture was at Rathoe Cross, but owing to the scarcity of foxes in the locality – of which the Master has good cause to complain – it proved very little better than a blank day, to the great disappointment of the big field. Castlemore, Grange, and the two coverts at Kellistown were all untenanted, and the one find at Rathcrogue proved a failure. There being no response at Kilmeany, hounds were called home.
    Amongst those present were:- Mr Robert Watson, MFH, and Miss Watson; Mr Forster, Master Wexford Hounds; the Misses Bruen, Mr, Mrs, and Miss Steuart Duckett, Captain Smith, Mr Reade, Miss Browne-Clayton, Major Alexander, Mr Childers, Colonel and Mrs Eustace, the Misses Pack-Beresford, Mr and Mrs Walter Kavanagh, Mr and Mrs R L Pike, Captain and Mrs Hore, Mrs O’Meara, Mrs Brown, Mr and Mrs R E Grogan, M and Mrs Forbes, MR Duckett Steuart, Dr Colgan, Mr B F Bagenal, Captain Thomas, Mr A Bloomfield, Mr and Mrs Anderson, Mr R and Miss Thorp, Mr C Bagenal, Mr Henley, Miss Stuart, Mr Standish Roche and Miss Roche, Dr, Mrs, and Miss Rawson, Mr S Ward, Messrs Murphy, Mr Governey, Mr and Mrs Roark, Mr Dan Ross, Mr and Mrs Archdale, Mr Newland, Mr and Mrs Fenton, Mr and Mrs J O Adair, Dr and Mrs Bolton, Dr and Mrs Nolan, Mr George O’Neill, Mr and Mrs Kane Smith, Mr E Hughes, Dr, Mrs, and Miss Kidd, Dr and Mrs Broomfield, Mr Henry Boake and Miss Boake, Miss Bell, Mr Strickland, etc.

CARLOW MARKETS – THURSDAY

SATURDAY, JANUARY 17, 1880

THE CARLOW AND ISLAND HOUNDS.
MEET AT DUNLECKNEY.
    So far the Carlow and Island Hounds have had an exceptionally successful season, and are making ample amends for the forced holidays of the proceeding year. On Saturday the meet at Dunleckney was largely patronised by the followers of the hunt, the oldest of whom could scarcely call to mind better sport than they enjoyed that day. Sharp to time the popular M.F.H. with his merry pack put in an appearance, and soon after trotted off to Killenane. The hounds were hardly in when their music announced a find, and a fox broke off at a rattling pace to the Black Quarries, where he got to ground without a check. Slyguff cover provided another fox of the right sort, which took the field across country at splendid pace to Ballyellin Railway Station, where, presses by his pursuers, he wheeled round by Kilgraney, and succeeded in saving his brush for another day. The covert at Kilcarrig Rocks furnished the third fox, which proved the best of a sporting lot, as he gave the field a full hour’s first -class hunting, until the shades of evening came to his rescue and forced the field to retire from the chase. The run, as already observed, deserves a prominent place amongst the most brilliant achievements in the Carlow and Island district.
    Another correspondent furnishes the following particulars of this brilliant run: -
    The Carlow hounds met at Dunleckney on Saturday, where a very large field put in an appearance, and when the appointed hour arrived, the word was given for Killenane, where Reynard was from home ; however, in a knock at a short distance, a splendid greyhound fox was found, who started off at a rattling pace for Burgage, wheeled here and crossed the Carlow and Bagnelstown road for Shakill at a rapid pace,. At this point hard riding was the rule. Having crossed the road at Shakill, the fox got to ground. Slyfuff was next tried, and a fox found in Tyndall’s Knock, but after a short time lost him. Kilcarrig next was called on for game, and with good success. Reynard thought to make his exit to the north, but was headed in the contrary direction, and on to the Tile Yard over Curraghacrut, and on as if for Rathellin, crossed the Baganstown road and wheeled to the right, and on for Newtown Hill throught Ratheadon, wheeled over Kildreenaghm and back through Currhgherut and Boremore, into Dunleckny and by Captain Persse’s, where the hounds and huntsmen were jingling him after dark at a rattling speed. The Carlows have had some splendid runs this season ; and the weather being favourable, it is hoped many more are to follow ; the Master and his hounds being well received with open gates and cordial welcomes from all classes, and old Reynard is often excused his many shifts in recompense for the enjoyment of the old and favourite field sport, and the popular Carlow and Island Club.
    Our Bagenalstown correspondent writes:- The inhabitants of this town on Saturday last met with a great treat, as they had the pleasure of witnessing a fox hunt within the township and by some of their very doors. The hounds with their worthy Master and an unusually large number of the sporting class met at Dunleckney Manor, the seat of P. J. Newton, Esq., D.L., J.P. The darkness of night was closing fast when the cheerful cry of the dogs was heard closely hunting Reynard, who they pursued into the wood and lawn of Captian Persse, Bagenalstown House, and quite close to that gentleman’s hall-door. He was obliged to leave the retreat he so coveted, and taking a circuitous rout for Kilcarrig Rocks. The music of the horn was heard calling off the dogs, and the horsemen and their faithful steeds separated for home, after a couple of very smart runs.

MEET AT BURTON HALL
    Tuesday’s fixture was at Burton Hall, a favourite trysting place of the Club, which invariable attracts a large assembly, Without trying the home covert, the field trotted off to Graney, a sure find for a fox. And which on this occasion furnished a good one for cross-country purposes. He made almost direct for Rathdaniel and, contrary to general expectation, did not seek a shelter there, but, skirting to the right, made for Kinneagh, the better part of the twenty minutes’ run being over a remarkable stiff country. He got to earth there, and Graney was again tried, but this time was untenanted. Pollerton covert, however, furnished a fox, which afforded an hour’s pleasant hunting between that place and Oak Park. There were some "croppers" during the day, none however serious. Amongst those present at the meet were – Lord Rathdonnell, Sir Charles W. Cuffe Burton, Bart., and Lady Burton, Mr Henry Bruen, M.P., and Miss Bruen, Sir Clement J. Wolseley, Bart.: Sir Thomas Pierce Butler, Bart.; Mr Horace Rochfort, Mr Robert Watson, M.F.H.; Captain Cosby, Hon. Hugh and Lady Mary Boscawen, Mr. Hardy Eustace, Mr Beauchamp F. Bagenal and Mrs Bagenal, Mr Steuart J. C. Duckett and Mrs Duckett, Mr J. C. Moore, R.M., and Mrs Moore, Mr R Clayton Browne, jun.; the Hon. John McClintock Bunbury and Hon. Mrs Bunbury, Mr William Clayton Browne and Master Browne, Mr Charles and Miss C. Butler, Captain Jocelyn Thomas, Captain Perse, Mr J. Cornwall Brady, Mr and Mrs Standish O’G. Roche, Major and Mrs Tanner, Mr J. F.Lecky and Mr Lecky, jun.; Mr McClintock, Dr. Edward A. Rawson, Mr. Hickson, S.I.; Mr Annesley, C.I.: Mr William Edge, Mr T.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE CARLOW SENTINEL.
    SIR, - Seeing a report in your last week’s issue of the SENTINEL of an attempted burglary on the premises of a Mr Bickerby, in this town, I beg to say that there is no such person in this town, nor has there been an attempt of the kind made here for the last sixteen years or better, when such was attempted; but the parties concerned were arrested in the act and made amenable to the law. I will thank you to insert this statement, as the unfounded report of such an occurrence would tend to injure the interests of our town.- I am, sir, your very obedient,
JOHN B. WARREN, Town Clerk.

CARLOW HARRIERS
    Saturday, 4^th instant. – These hounds met at Coone not in the above capacity but as foxhounds. Through the kind permission of Mr. Laugrishe, M.F.H., they have been granted leave to draw the Kilkenny coverts north of the Dinan. Punctual to time, notwithstanding a wet morning, which is an often told tale during the present season, Mr. Briscoe led the way to Eskerty Wood, tried the covert on the left hand side of the road first, which proved blank, but hounds were not long on the other side ‘til we heard the reassuring notes which make a man’s heart beat faster, and were echoed by Hudson, who viewed two "furry" specimens stealing towards the lower end. The wood is very dense, and the Master had some difficulty in getting through, with the unfortunate result that the hounds dividing settled on two foxes, one breaking on the far side and running up the hill and on to Coone at a good pace, where they put him to ground – attended by a select few who had the best of it – a good pace, where they put him to ground – attended by a select few who had the best of it – a good three-mile point. Five and-a-half couple of hounds in the meantime pushed their fox out at the lower end, and went away as if for Coolcullen with the heavy brigade, across the road and along by the river, over a trappy country, and was soon lost, but not before I saw several empty saddles. Glen Mullen was now the order – a very picturesque spot with a typical name. The pack was not long thrown in when we heard the welking ring ; this time it proved to be a hare, for Capt. Briscoe can suit himself to any emergency, and will hunt anything that wears "fur," so long as it makes sport. Going away by the rock colliery, she swung to the left over a heavy country with a succession of fences like mountains and doubles at that, passed at the back of Coolbawn and on to Gurteen, across the road and down the hill to the Castleconner road, where we left "puss" for the night, the Master and Mrs. Briscoe refusing the proffered hospitality of the barbarous people for themselves and the pack, and had a long, wet jog of ten miles home. Amongst those out were Capt. And Mrs. Briscoe, Mr. R.H. Prior-Wandesforde, Mayor Bryan, Messrs. Swifte, Wm. Edge, Butler-Kearney, Herbert Warren, Wm. Dobbs, S. Dobbs, Miss Draper, Dr. Sterling, Miss Sterling and party, Mr. Mandeville, Mr. Murphy.

A GOOD DAY WITH THE CARLOW HARRIERS.
    On Thursday the meet was at Prumplestown cross roads, where, despite the rather threatening aspect of the morning, a good-sized field met the Master and were rewarded by capital sport. Germaine’s gorse, strange to say, did not hold the needful, so we faced for Barn Hill and found. Puss led at a smart pace up the hill, and after a circuit esfcap4d. The rocks on Mr. Rice’s land were next appealed to, and furnished material for a good twenty minutes’ gallop, over stiff country thickly dotted with big banks. On reaching Mr. Green’s at Millbrook, we lost our game, but another hare filled the gap, and having afforded a good circular spin, narrowly escaped to run some other day. "Shades of evening" told us it was time to make for home, and we obeyed their bidding. Amongst those well in the running besides the Master, Capt. Briscoe, were Lord Garnioc, Mr. E.S. Maffett. Miss Johnson, Miss Shackleton, the Misses Boake, Mr. V. Slocock, Mr. Brown, Mr. Germaine, Mr. C. Casey Mr. Lawler, &c.
