MOST respectfully informs his Friends and the Public, that he has commenced the Business of COACH & HOUSE PAINTER, GLAZIER, PAPER HANGER, &c. in Strabane, in that House next door to Mr. JAMES PORTER’S, Front-street, and trusts, from the knowledge he possesses of the several Branches of his Profession, and unremitting attention to the execution of all Orders with which he may be favoured, to merit a share of support.

Nov. 22, 1830

February 25, 1834

On Thursday last, by the Rev. James Gamble, MR. WM. COOKE, JUN. of this town, to ANNE ELIZA, youngest daughter of the late DR. CONDY, of same place.

October 28, 1834

On the night of Tuesday last, a pane was broken in the shop window of MR. J. COOK, watchmaker, of this town, and a silver watch taken out. The alarm was instantly given, when Mr. Cook and some other persons pursued a man who was running down the street. Mr. Cook lost sight of him, but luckily followed two men of suspicious appearance, into a lodging house at the foot of the town. - Whilst he was questioning those persons, a young man of the name of BOYD, rushed into the house, quite out of breath, who proved to be the individual who committed the robbery. That active officer, CAPTAIN FITZMAURICE attended immediately with the police, and on searching Boyd, they found a watch on his person, which Mr. Cook proved to have been left with him for repair. Boyd stands committed to Omagh gaol (we understand, on his own admission) to take his trial at the next Assizes
