a native of Ballymote, and had very re-
spectacle relatives living there. Some
few weeks ago she was removed to the
workhouse, as her friends refused to
support her; but the confinement was
irksome to the poor creature, so she left
and was making Ter way again to Bally-
mote, when she fell I'LL at Collooney.
Mr.. Savage, relieving officer, was unre-
hitting in his attentions to her, and
procured the Union van to remove her
back to the w0rkhOuse; but Ur. Cum

and he was right, as she died before the
van reached Ballisodare.
