!" On March % it was disclosed that the
man Cunningham, who was sent from the
PRISON in Tullamore to marlborough Lu-
natic Asylum, was suffering from broken
arm at the time Of his removal, AS he was
handcuffed when brought to the Jail in
Tullamore, It is scarcely possible. that he
could have sustained the fracture before
then, and this: would seem. to- indicate that
he came by il, during his subsequent impris-
onment. The fact has aroused considerable
comment in Tullamore. The other brothers

With sincere regret we have to announce
the death of Mr.. Mathew Sheridan, of Bog
town, which took place on April Z. The
deceased gentleman had reached a-ripe old
age, but, although he had not been in the
best Of health for some time past, his death
came as an unexpected shock toevery one
who knew him. He was for number of
years chairman of the Navan Board of
Guardians, and for a still longer period a
member Of the board, and during all that
time he was a valuable help to his fellow
members in the administration of the poor
law by the energy and ability which he al
ways displayed Kind, generous and char
liable, ne was held in high esteem by all
with whom he ever came in contact.
