WEXFORD.
At the regular meeting Of the New
Ross Board of Guardians, On May 9Th,
Mr.. Patrick Kennedy, T. c., chairman of
the board (presiding), MIR. Pope, clerk of
the union, was granted vacation for two
months, to recruit his health, which had
been run down by his constant attention
to the business of the Union. The vote
was unanimous, all the Guardians bearing
testimony as the efficiency of Mr.. Pope.
A specially summoned meeting of the
New Ross town commissioners was held
ON Monday evening, My 7th, to con-
slider what steps they should take, as rep
resentatives of the ratepayers, in view
of the claim made by Mr., Daniel Muir
ply, Mary street, New Ross, for 9145 for
the malicious burning of hay, etc, at the
rear of his premises, last winter. A dis
cussion took place on the matter; when
it was passed unanimously that, in order
to preserve the fair fame of the town, the
commissioners should instruct their soli-
citor to oppose the application, as the
commissioners believe that the burning
was in no way malicious, but accidental.
WICKLOW.
The Irish Nationalist notes that Mr.. E.
P. O'Kelly took his first seat on the bench
at the last Baltinglass Petty Sessions.
The suggestion of the Chief Secretary
that the Lord Chancellor contemplated
the revocation of the Commission Of the
Peace conferred on Mr.. O'Kelly caused
general indignation Jour contemporary
states), at such a slight being put on q
gentleman SO deservedly popular and so
we'll qualified for the position. As it is
admitted that the holding of retail Ii
cense is no legal bar to being a Justice
of Peace, as the Baltinglass County Court
Chairman and Bench refused to- transfer
MIR. O'Kelly's license, it is to be hoped
that the Lord Chancellor will see the in
advisability of entertaining any further
objection to Mr.. O'Kelly's appointment.
