James Lavender sworn and examined by Mr. Nagle – Recollects the 11^th of Dec.; is a private of the 35^th Regt. at that time about 8 months in Youghal; was going to barracks about 8 o clock that evening, and saw 50 or 60 persons at each side of the road; Hugh Holland was a few yards behind him; when witness came up to the crowd David Cronin seized him by the belt; witness asked him why he did it, having said nothing to him; he said ‘twas his business, and struck him; he stooped and put his head between his legs and threw him over; he then kicked him on the temple, during which the riot ensued in which he got several kicks; his leg was broken near the ankle; he lay in hospital 7 weeks. - Cross-examined – I was at the King William publichouse; I drank one small glass of whiskey, and one small glass of porter; Holland and seven or eight more soldiers who were there before me drank more profusely; it was 2 or 300 yards from the public house I was attacked; I afterwards went to barracks and informed the officer of the transaction.

Hugh Holland sworn and examined by Mr. O Connell – on the evening of the 11^th December, I was in company with Lavender at the King William’s; when going up the hill towards the barracks we met a crowd of persons; I saw James Power run up to Lavender, - And take hold of him and knock him down; I went to his assistance and was struck two blows by Power; I took to my heels and went to the Police-office and reported it; the people swore if I attempted to go to the barracks they would stone me. - Cross-examined – I drank a noggin of whiskey; I remained in the house as long as it lasted; about 2 hours; I took it as medicine; I was about 3 yards behind Lavender when he was knocked down; after I got to the barracks, I did not come out.

Francis Bell examined by Mr. O Brien – Upon the 11^th of December I was in company with a soldier Joseph Stanley, going up Cork lane towards the barrack; being informed that Lavender was beated I hastened to the place, when two parties closed in on us from each side of the road. Hanan and Patrick Clancy struck me and knocked me down; Michael Cronin was one of those who kicked me more than once upon the back and legs; I ran towards the barracks and Flanagan followed me; upon his coming up I struck him with a shoe which I had pulled off a foot that kicked me. - Cross-examined – I and Joe Stanley had four pints of porter at the King William; I never mistook one man for another in any coat.

Joseph Stanley sworn – I was going to barracks on the 11^th of December, when a mob which was collected near the entrance rushed upon us; (witness identified the two Clancys as the persons who struck him); I was knocked down; James Power was among the mob. - Cross-examined – I gave no offence to these people; the lamp which was near enable me to see their faces.

John Woolbeck sworn – I met Henry Bidell upon the hill leading to the barracks on the evening of the 11^th of December; there was a crowd upon the hill; when I came up they were beating a soldier; I saw James Power strike him twice or thrice; there were many persons near at the time; I myself was attacked by three or four of the crowd; I was struck and knocked down; immediately after a party of solders came from the barracks and the party dispersed.

William Birkinshaw sworn – I was ordered from barracks on the 11^th of December; when I came to the place to which I was instructed to proceed I saw a man of the name of Clancy on the point of striking Henry Bidell; Curran was about 3 yards distant from him.

John Palmer sworn – Identified Edmond Curran; one of the persons assembled asked witness if they had got the rout, and that if not, they would soon give it to them.

FOR THE DEFENCE

David Murphy sworn – I live in Raheen lane; it leads to the barracks; about 8 or 9 o clock at night on the 11^th of December being at work, I heard a row, and upon going out I found a solider and a man named Cullinane, disputing; about 16 soldiers came up and asked where the damned Irishman was; 3 or 4 of them rushed upon Cullinane and knocked him down; they struck at the two Cronins who were at a short distance; soldiers afterwards came to my house with drawn bayonets.

Michael Calbert sworn – Lives in Cork Lane; remebers the row between the soldiers and the towns-people; Cullinane and two soldiers were wrangling; the Cronins endeavoured to separate them; they were the only persons of the traversers who were present. This witness in the other particulars corroborated the evidence of the last.

Having examined several other persons, between whose testimony and that of the proceeding witness no material discrepancy was discovered in their cross-examination, Mr. Scannell entered upon the indictment, which charged James Moody, Eliza Crane and William Birkinshaw, with an assault, upon Patrick Clancy, Edmund Clancy and Denis Hanan.

Ellen Barry sworn – Saw Corporal Berkinshaw strike Patrick Clancy, and Corporal Crane strike Edmond Clancy; heard Serjeant Moody cry out ‘stick the bloody Irish;’ some of the soliders had their bayonets drawn; one man named Hanan was crying out peace, and was struck by three or four soldiers with the flat of their bayonets.

Bessie M’Carthy examined – Saw Patrick and Edmond Clancy and James Power sitiing by the Clanchys father’s house; witness asked them if they had heard of the row, to which they answered that they had not, they all then went out.

Edmond Clancy sworn – Having gone out in consequence of what Bessie M’Carthy had said at my father’s house, I saw a soldier run past me down the hill; my brother and James Power and I stood at the door of a house at the bottom of the hill; Corporal Crane ran up to me and struck me; Corporal Berkinshaw struck my brother; there was a stab of a bayonet made against me which struck a girl who was sitting behind me in the face. - Cross-examined – I never struck a soldier; I have a brother and a sister in the soldiers. - Patrick Clancy corroborated the testimony of his brother.

His Worship in charging the jury, proceeded to remark upon the extent of the evidence, and to narrow the questions to the smallest compass, when - A Juror suggested, the case being one of considerable importance and interest, from the number of the persons concerned, that, in order to give it due consideration, the Court should be adjourned to the next morning. - His Worship thought it a very sensible suggestion, and having directed the Jury to acquit Michael Ronayne and Edward Curran against whom no evidence had appeared, and strictly enjoined them to hold no communication with any one upon the subject of the trail; he accordingly adjoured the Court until 9 o clock the following morning.

 

SATURDAY -  His Worship entered the Court at 9 o clock, and having heard some cases of no interest, resumed his charge to the Jury in the case of the alleged outrage at Youghal. The Traversers under both indictments were acquitted.

(CC 18/3/1845)  - FIRE NEAR YOUGHAL – On Saturday evening between eight and nine o clock, a fire broke out on the premises of Mr. Abraham Fisher, of Springfield, about half a mile from Youghal. It commenced in the residence of a labourer, or caretaker, who lived at the end of a long range of farm buildings which communicated with the dwelling-house. The man and his wife were below stairs sitting by the fire, when they heard the crackling of the fire overhead. On giving the alarm, it was found that the bed and bestead were in flames, and that the fire had communicated to the roof. Prompt measures were taken by getting on the ridge and handing up water, which was poured down on it, but as it was extending along the roof, and the burning embers already dropping into the mangers where the horses were, the latter and the cows were immediately removed, and a messenger despatched to the Barracks, where the only fire-engine in the neighbourhood is kept. With this, and the Royal Marines Col. Ballingall, and Lieutenants Slaughter and Hatchard, immediately proceeded to the spot, previous to which the roof was being stripped to cut off the cummunication. Water being at hand their measures were executive and prompt, and fortunately the Fire was subdued without exception much beyond the part of the bulding occupied by the Labourer.

(CC 29/5/1845) – YOUGHAL PROTESTANT  RELIEF SOCIETY – THE ANNUAL SERMON on behalf of this valuable Institution will be Preached (D. V.) at ST. MARY’S CHURCH, Youghal on SUNDAY, 8^th June, 1845, by the Hon. And Right Rev. THE LORD BISHOP OF KILLALOE. – This Society is not political, but strictly charitable, having for its object the benefit of all denominations of Protestants, and while it endeavours to improve the temporal condition of those to whom relief is extended, it seeks also to promote their religious and moral improvement. – A Collection will be made at the Chapel of Ease on the same day, and Donations would be thankfully received by the Clergymen, the Treasurer, or any member of the Committee.

(CE 12/9/1845) THE DUKE OF DEVONSHIRE AND THE PROTESTANT OPERATIVES – To Francis Curry, Esq. – Youghal, September 10, 1845 – SIR – The strange fact of the Mall House being thrown open to the ‘Operatives,’ has excited surprise in every quarter, and among all classes. Men of liberal sentiment regard it with a feeling bordering on indignation, while the bigots are chucking with joy. The Duke of Devonshire encouraging Orangeism under a new name in the town of Youghal! Why the thing is so absolutely outrageous that we could nto believe it, if we had not the unmistakeable testimony of our own eyes. And lest there should be any doubt on the subject in distant quarters, the Constitution in its report of the proceedings, says that the ‘Mall Rooms were given especially for the occasion by the agents of the Duke of Devonshire.’ - Now, Sir, it is for my own guidance more than the assertion of public principle, that I respectfully beg to be informed whether the use of the Mall House has been really given them for such a purpose? It is a public fact, and many here are of opinion with me that it requires a public explanation. When you consider the relations that exist between the liberal electors of this town and a distinguished member of the Cavendish family, you will clearly understand, and I am sure, appreciate my motives, in making this inquiry. I need not at all allude to the sentiments, religious and political, uttered at this meeting – it was a Protestant Operative display, and that is quite enough to be known on that point. I hope I shall not be considered unreasonable in requesting to be informed on this matter, and I shall merely add that silence on your part will sufficiently convey an acknowledgement of the truth of the statement in the Constitution. – I have the honour to be, Sir, faithfully, &c., AN ELECTOR OF THE BOROUGH.

(CE 22/10/1845) – SHIP LAUNCH AT YOUGHAL –Thursday evening, the 16^th inst., at half pat 5 o clock, a very fine Brigantine of 240 tons burthen, and fully rigged, was launched in  beautiful style, from the building yard of Mr. Thomas Kelleher, Strand, Youghal. A temporary state was erected for the accommodation of visitors. Music was in attendance, which continued at intervals, striking up lively airs. All the vessels in harbour displayed their colours; the splendid yacht of Lord Mountcashel being festooned from stem to stern with the flags of all nations, added much to the gay scene. The evening being unusually fine for the season, innumerable boats were dashing along the placid deep, each bearing its burthen of living freight, anxious to witness the interesting spectacle. As the band was playing ‘Rule Britannia,’ the word ‘let go’ was given; the vessel was loosened from the stocks, and glided with the utmost precision and beauty into the bosom of her native element – ‘Walking the waters like a thing of life,’ – amid the firing of cannon, the cheering and huzzaing of hundreds on boards, on water and on shore, Mr. George Laurence, of Cork, who officiated as sponsor, having previously named the vessel ‘John Barry’ by dashing a bottle of claret at her bows. We have seldom seen a finer model, or a vessel that sat better on the water; she does infinite credit to the skill and talent of her enterprising builder, Mr. Kelleher, who has succeeded, under various difficulties, in building and fully completing in this port three splendid and superior vessels since he took up his residence in Youghal. We heartily wish the spirited owners, Messrs. Lefebure and Barry, every success, and congratulate them that the John Barry is to be commanded by Captain William Lelane, a gentleman of great nautical ability, who during his residence here gained the esteem of all who came within the circle of his acquaintance. - Immediately after the launch, a large party of gentlemen, immediate friends of the owners, amongst whom we noticed Thomas John Esq., Banker and Lloyd’s Agent for this Port, Messrs. Pim and Cantwell, Wm. Marks and Son, Doctor Barry, Midleton; Wm. Connell, Esq., __ M’Namara Junr., George Laurence and Kennedy, Esqrs. Of Cork; and many others whose names we could not ascertain assembled at Campbell’s Hotel, where a dinner comprising every delicacy was served up in the usual style of that establishment. The wines were of the most varied description. The Chair was ably filled by Mr. Lefebure of Cork, Vice-Chair by John Barry of Ballinacurra. The usual loyal and patriotic toasts…..

(CC 16/12/1845) – ALARMING FIRE IN YOUGHAL – On Saturday evening, about five o clock, a fire,which for the few hours during which it raged, was very threatening, broke out at the chandlery and oil and colour concerns of Mr. Fisher. This gentleman has been endeavouring to promote the culture of flax in the south of Ireland, and had commenced a school for handscutching flax, at which several women were employed, but at the time of the accident occurred none of them were at work, in consequence of some alterations which were being made. On one of the lofts on which a quantity of scutched flax was piled, two workmen were engaged moving some articles, and left a candle lighting during a few minutes’ absence, which may have fallen against and ignited the flax. The flames spread rapidly, and, as it was evident that nothing could be done to avert the fire from this part of the premises, exertions were quickly made to remove the stock of candles, tallow, roisin, and other highly inflammable articles stored underneath, and the greater part of this stock was saved. The flax, which is readily ignited and burns rapidly, was quickly in a blaze, and presented a very threatening appearance, and, when the roof and windows fell in it was an awful sight. Many apprehensions were felt for Mr. Verling’s premises adjoining in which lay a large stock of tallow, candles, oil, turpentine, &c., but owing to the mildness of the night and the exertions that were made the fire was confined to the house it originated in. A large force of the police were quickly in attendance, under that highly intelligent officer, Head Constable Cox, and they were most efficient in removing and protecting the property, and very active in endeavoruing to check the flame. Lieut.-Col. Ballingall, and several of the officers and men of the Royal Marines, with their engine, were soon on the spot, and rendered valuable assistance; indeed we were surprised at the activity of Col. Ballingal, who, though advanced in life, climbed to the roof of an adjoining building to direct the hose of the engine. Thomas John, Esq., JP, and the other Count Magistrates residing in the town, A. Hayman and J. Keilly, Esqrs., with the Coast Guards and inhabitants, were also most active in assisting to extinguish it. It was very providentail that the evening was so calm, and a truly fortunate circumstance that the ravages of the destructive element were not more extensive. We are happy to state that the loss is not very great, probably within £500, and that Mr. Fisher is insured.

SLATER’S 1846 DIRECTORY – YOUGHAL - IS a considerable market town and sea-port, a parliamentary borough and parish, in the barony of Imokilly, situated in the eastern extremity of the county of Cork, at the western side of the mouth of the river Blackwater, on the mail road between Waterford and Cork, 46 miles W by S from the former city, 36 E from the latter, and 137 SSW from Dublin. The beauty of the harbour, especially from the sea entrance, and also of the town itself, as seen from the county of Waterford, is much admired by travellers, as well as the fine scenery of the Blackwater river, which is navigable nearly as far as Lismore, and by which large quantities of merchandise are conveyed in barges and small vessels to that and the other neighbouring towns. In ancient writings the name of the town appears to have been Ochill or Ychill, signifying either a young wood or the place of a wood, and this seems accounted for by the remains of a large submarine forest which, after high spring tides and violent storms, can be discovered, on the neighbouring beach, covering a very considerable surface. In the reign of Queen Elizabeth Youghal held out against the Desmond rebellion, in favour of the crown, by, in the great civil war, it was compelled to submit to the forces of Cromwell, who resided in the town for some time, and is reported to have hanged the mayor on his arrival; the corporation were among the first to proclaim the restoration of Charles II. Sir Walter Raleigh, after his return from America, landed in Youghal, and there first introduced potatoes into Ireland. His house is still shown – an old mansion in the Elizabethan style, the interior of which is remarkable for some antique and most curious carvings; it has been a long time in the Hayman family, by whom it was lately rented to Lieut.-Colonel Faunt, whose widow now occupies it. The town of Youghal, in former times, possessed a much greater relative importance in the south of Ireland than it does at present, owing to its harbour and fortifications, the remains of which latter are still existing. The town has, however, of late years been considerably improved and enlarged, the streets repaired, and flagged pavements laid down, under the direction of commissioners elected by the ratepayers of the borough, under the provisions of the lighting and cleansing act of George IV. The corporate property passed into their hands at the passing of the Municipal Reform Bill when the corporation of Youghal was abolished. The town consists principally of one street, nearly a mile in length, divided into two parts denominated the North and South Main streets; the separation is effected by a lofty square building called the Clock-gate, containing the town clock and bell, surmounted by a dome and cupola. At the northern extremity of the harbour, about a mile from the town, is a wooden pile bridge, erected partly by government loan and partly by shareholders. The bridge connects the counties of Cork and Waterford, and is considered the longest in Ireland; a small toll is charged both for passengers and goods. By this bridge the road to Waterford is shortened fourteen miles, but it is not used by the mail. The principal public rooms are the coffee-room, in the mall-house, and news-room of the Protestant Association, where monthly lectures, on literary and scientific subjects are delivered. The savings’ bank is a handsome building, in Nelson-place; here the business of the loan fund society is also conducted; the other public buildings are, the Branch Bank of Ireland, the Provincial Bank, lately erected, and the custom-house.

The harbour is both safe and commodious, although the entrance to it has been considered dangerous in consequence of a bar stretching across the mouth of it, and the water not being sufficiently deep in the channel for large vessels. An admirable chart has been lately prepared by a scientific gentleman, and published by Mr. Noris, by means of which the most perfect stranger can bring his ship in, at flood tide, by either the eastern or western channel, and moor her, in safety opposite the town. There are several good quays and piers for discharging merchandise. The staple trade of the town is the exportation of corn and provisions, and the importation of coal, culm, timber, and slate. There is little foreign trade now to what existed formerly; the merchants of Lismore, Fermoy, Tallow, and Cappoquin, ship their goods and unload their consignments in the port and clear out in the Youghal custom-house, which is an apanage to the Cork port, and conducted by a pro-collector and comptroller. The custom-house is also connected with the coast-guard station. The woollen manufacture, which formerly flourished here, has now entirely ceased; some business is still, however, done in the dyeing way. A large brewery and starch manufactory have been lately established; there are also several rope, cabinet, and soap manufactories, and it has, for some time, been celebrated for the manufacture of brown earthenware.

The government of the town is vested in the lands of three magistrates, who are also justices for the county, and hold petty sessions in the court-house every Thursday. There is neither gaol nor bridewell, but exertions are being made for the erection of one of the latter, with a handsome court-house, which seems necessary as one of the quarter sessions for the East Riding of the county is held here, in the month of July by the assistant barrister. The date of the incorporation of Youghal, as a borough, is a most remote and ancient one. The earliest charter in existence, that from Edward IV, in 1462, does not profess to incorporate the town, but acknowledges the several privileges granted before to the corporation. Several subsequent charters have also been granted, and in the second parliament convened in Ireland, Youghal is mentioned as having sent two members thereto, and it continued to be so represented until the Union, since which period it has returned one member to the Imperial Parliament; the representative is the Hon. C. Compton Cavendish, Burlington House, London. The constituency numbers about four hundred and the Duke of Devonshire’s influence preponderates. A head constable of police is resident in the town, who is under the magistrates, and is assisted by a constable and twelve sub-constables.

The places of religious worship are large and commodious. The parish church of Saint Mary is a most ancient structure, in the Gothic style, with a low square tower attached, which is used as a belfry. Several very ancient families are buried within its walls, one of the Earls of Grandison, several of the Earl of Cork’s family, in the chancel (which is most curious), a daughter of General Scrope, who was one of the judges of Charles I, that voted for his being beheaded. Attached to the church is a very ancient chapel, the east window of which is in a very fine state of preservation, and has attracted the admiration of most travellers. A chapel of ease, at the south end of the town, a more modern structure, is built on lands once in the hands of the Franciscans, who has here a richly endowed abbey, founded by Maurice Fitzgerald, Lord Justice of Ireland, in the year 1224. The Roman Catholic chapel is surmounted by a handsome steeple, and has been lately embellished with a cut stone front; there is also another chapel of ease. The Independents, Wesleyans and Society of Friends have each of them respectable places of worship. There are numerous schools for gratuitous education in the town, among these are the endowed school of the Duke of Devonshire; two schools, one in the north the other in the south ends of the town, connected with the Church Education Society; also infants’ and national schools and a national school for females, conducted by the nuns at the convent. The following are the principal charities: - the Protestant Relief Society, supported by local contributions; in connexion with this charity, a neat and elegant asylum has been erected by the Protestant inhabitants, capable of containing forty inmates. The Duke of Devonshire’s alms-house for six widows; Mr. Ronayne’s almshouse for four widows; a lying-in hospital; and an infirmary and dispensary, with fever hospital attached. A Magdalene asylum is in progress of erection. A regatta is annually held here – it generally takes place in the month of August, and is supported with animation and gaiety. The markets are held on Wednesday and Saturday. The annual fairs are Ascension Day and October 18^th; there are fairs for cattle on the first Thursday monthly, held in the Cattle-market. The parish of Youghal contained, in 1841, 12,054 inhabitants, and the town 9,939 of that number.

(CC 18/6/1846) – YOUGHAL PROTESTANT RELIEF SOCIETY – THE ANNUAL SERMON on behalf of this most valuable Institution will be Preached (DV) at ST. MARY’S CHURCH, YOUGHAL, on SUNDAY, JUNE 21^st, 1846, 1846, by the – REV. MORGAN CROFTON (Curate of Dungarvan) – This Society is not Political, but strictly Charitable, having for its object the Benefit of all denominations of Protestant, and, while it endeavours to improve the temporal condition of those to whom relief is extended, it seeks also to promote their religious and moral improvement. – A Collection will also be made at the Chapel of Ease on the same day, and donations will be thankfully received by the Clergymen, the Treasurer, or any member of the Committee. – Youghal, June, 1846.

(CC 1/8/1846) – SHIPWRECK IN YOUGHAL BAY – The brig Jane, of Cork, James Leary, master, bound from Newport (Monmouth) for Cork, with a cargo of coal, struck on the rock of Youghal bar, about 2 o clock AM on Thursday, the 30^th inst.; the wind blowing very strong at the time from the ENE. After thumping very hardly over the bar she was got into deep water, but being in a sinking condition the captain and crew were obliged to beach her at the western side of the harbour, just under Clay Castle, where she now lies sunk, without any hope of her being got off. The master and crew were all got safe on shore. Thos. John, Esq., JP, agent for Lloyd’s, was early on the spot to protect the property, and take the necessary steps to get her afloat, assisted by the officers and men of the Coast Guard. The First Lieutenant of HM steam ship Tartarus was also alongside with a number of the seamen belonging to her, rendering every assistance in his power, and did not leave till it was evident no success would attend their exertions without lightening the ship. The Tartarus had only just come to anchor at the time, being obliged to run in from stress of weather, as she is engaged on a survey around the adjoining coast. The Jane is the property of Captain White, Harbour-master of this port.

(CE 23/9/1846) - FOOD RIOTS IN YOUGHAL - DESTRUCTION OF THE BAKERS' SHOPS - After the termination of the meeting held in this town on Monday last, our reporter was surprised to see a large concourse of persons, exclusively of the labouring classes, hurrying from one street to another, apparently in a most excited manner. On making inquiry, it was ascertained that this demonstration was made in order to prevent the merchants and manufacturers from exporting the corn or provisions of the town, for which purpose upwards of a dozen ships were lying in the harbour. After visiting several of the corn stores with the apparent intention of intimidating the proprietors, the mob proceeded down to the quay, where they speedily compelled some carmen, who were loading the vessels with corn for exportation, to desist and return to the stores; on coming back, they met another carman who however, did not remain to receive the injunctions of the mob, but immediately turned the horse's head, and commenced a speedy retreat amidst the cheers and jeers of the multitude. Not satisfied with their success in these instances, they turned towards another portion of the quay, where they succeeded in a similar manner. - Up to four o'clock there proceedings were confined to preventing the exportation of provisions; and by the respectable portion of the inhabitants, it was anticipated that no actual violence would be the result; but unfortunately their expectations were frustrated. The mob, elated probably by the success of their first attempt, commenced at a later period of the day to demolish the flour and bread shops, which was only partially prevented by the interference of the Military. I understand, in consequence of the extent to which these outrages were carried, that Mr. Keily, J.P., arrived in this City on yesterday, for the purpose of consulting with the General of the district, and obtaining a large reinforcement of military.

 

(CE 30/11/1846) - DESTITUTION IN YOUGHAL - A CORRESPONDENT, who writes from Youghal, represents the distress in that district, to which public works gave a temporary check, as again increasing in consequence of their cessation. "On last Monday, he says, a number of men who were employed in repairing roads in the outskirts of the town, were thrown idle, the reason of which I have not discovered. What heart would not be softened to compassion at the sight of the pallid faces and despairing countenances of those poor creatures going to their desolate homes to mingle their tears with their unfortunate wives and children, fathers and mothers. I have seen persons from the mountainous districts who told me they were 3 days fasting trudging almost lifeless into town unable to bear the weight of their emaciated frames to get 2 or 3 lb. of Indian meal for 3 days subsistence."  - In proof of the extent to which death is caused by these privations our correspondent refers to the quantity of coffins sold, which never before were in so much request.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________

(CE 1/2/1847) - DEATHS BY STARVATION -  AWFUL STATE OF DESTITUTION IN THE NEIGHBOURHOOD OF YOUGHAL - INQUESTS hvae been held here, and the verdict in each of three melancholy cases was  'death by starvation.&uqot; A family of the CRONINS, consisting of father, mother, and sone, lived at a place called the Windmill, about a mile from the town of Youghal. On the night of Tuesday last, the mother, MARGARET, and her son, PATRICK, died in the same bed with the father, MICHAEL, whom hunger had rendered so helpless that he could give them no assistance in their last struggle, nor even make their case known to the neighbours.  'The verdict was death by starvation. ' In the past week there was revealed another case of a still more horrible nature. - A person named Thomas Miller, from Ring, a place on the extreme coast, opposite Cable Island, came with his wife to Youghal, where they both offered for sale at an Apothecary's shop, the dead body of a male child, aged seven years. The authorities were informed of the circumstance, and the parties were arrested. Upon being interrogated, they coolly acknowledged that this child was a nephew of theirs, who had died in their house, and that they brought him to the Doctors to get something for the body that would keep the life in themselves and their children. - The description they gave of their suffering was frightful in the extreme. On more than one occasion they had determined to kill and eat the cat, only they feared it would poison them. The verdict in the case of this child, too, was  'death by starvation. ' Such is the state of things in that locality; and while death is doing its work, about two hundred of the wretched tenants of Lord Ponsonby, in that neighbourhood, have been just served with notices of ejectment. What will become of the frame of Society? We shall give details in our next.

(CE 2/4/1847) - WHOLESALE DISMISSAL OF THE LABOURERS FROM THE PUBLIC WORKS -  CONSEQUENT DISTRESS AND TUMULTUARY MEETINGS OF THE PEOPLE AT YOUGHAL - THE poor labourers have been in great numbers discharged from the Works here, and no provision made for themselves or their wretched families. They are thus literally left to starve. Captain BOLTON, the Government Inspecting Officer, has indeed visited the district; but it was only to put these wretches off the works, and give the Relief Committees an new complexion. The new law has not been put in force, and every day is a day of starvation and of death. The people, maddened by ill-treatment and misery, have come in crowds to the town, to make their condition known. - On Sunday last, a large multitude assembled on the Mall, where they held a meeting, at which resolutions were passed condemnatory of this measure, and calling upon these Government officials either to restore the people to the works, or supply them with some means of subsistence. Will this demand be listened to? -  What is Capt. BOLTON doing, or where is he? for there is no account of him at Youghal. As another nice piece of management, this Government officer has furnished a new Relief Committee list from which all the Catholic clergymen are practically excluded! - Time will soon show that, whatever be their intentions, the conduct of Government officials will produce ruin and destruction in the country. There seems to be no concern about  'deaths by starvation, ' at all.

(CE 19/4/1847) – APPREHENDED RIOTS IN YOUGHAL - ON Friday a Police messenger arrived by express at Midleton from Youghal, to request that the resident Magistrate, with a party of military and police stationed there should proceed immediately to the latter town, as an attack was momentarily expected against the shops, provision-stores, and the bank. Afterwards, he posted in haste to Cork for additional troops. It was stated that a party of from 5,000 to 6,000 labourers waited outside the town, ready to commence the attack, the consequence of the desperate state to which the people are driven by their privations. During the week, letters were received by several inhabitants, among others the manager of the bank, apprising them of this intention. - Up to the present time, however, no actual outbreak has occurred, but the town continues as in a state of siege.
