CARLOW.
In the Court House, Carlow, on May

false pretences was brought to the police
against two Englishmen named Thomas
Taylor, alias John Holland and Thomas
Forde. The prisoners, both respectable
looking men, apparently about 60 years
of age, we're arrested in Liverpool, on the
9Th, Taylor being charged with having
obtained from Mr.. Edward Morris, OF
Carlow, hundred barrels of oats and
three tons of potatoes, and Forde with
being an accomplice. 1t appeared from
the informations that, in February last,
an advertisement appeared, purporting
to be from the firm of. Taylor & Hayward,
Manchester, offering good terms for farm
produce. Mr.. Morris replied to the adj
vertisement,an correspondence ensued
resulting in an order from the supposed
firm for the goods stated, which were
forwarded to Liverpool, but never paid
for. When arrested, Taylor had asked
the police sergeant if the matter could
be SQUARED for EOS, and observed that it
would be better for MI. Morris to get
that than nothing. He also stated that
Mr.. Forde had nothing to do with it.
Both prisoners we're remanded to Kill
kenny jail for eight days.
CLARE.
The foundation stone of the new parish
church of Tomgraney, was laid and
blessed on Sunday, May 8, with all the
ceremonial prescribed for such occasions
bv the Catholic Church. The parish OF
Tomgraney, better known to latter day
fame under the name of Bodyke, is one
NJ the most ancient in the country. In
the seventh and succeeding centuries it
WAS the seat of celebrated monastery,
and the old Catholic church (now Pro-
testant place of worship), dates from the
tenth. century. The present Catholic
church, however, is not very ancient
or pretentious edifce, and from the un-
suitability of it's site and the insecurity
of the building it was found necessary to
provide the parish with new church.
The parish prieft, the Rev. Peter Muir
ply, has spared neither pains nor purse
to provide his parishioners with suit
able edifoe for sacred worship. Mr.,
Robert Westropp Moreland, Of Raheens,
Tomgraney, generously gave free grant
Of an excellent site; and the people of.the
parish assisted by the bishop and the
people Of the surrounding parishes have
Is literally responded to the call for the
GOOD work that three hundred pounds
have already been subscribed. The >es-
Etimated cost Of the church is, however,
2nlose on two thousand pounds, and much
I,aa vat 10 be done. The architect Tor the
new new edifice is Mr.. Francis O'Connor, Q.
-: Ennis, and the contractor MI. John
sHarpreaves, Of sixmileb bridge.
