MALICIOUS BURNING – We are sorry to have to record a case of malicious burning in a hitherto peaceable district in the county Tyrone. On the night of the 14th or early on the morning of the 15th instant, some evil disposed person or persons, set fire to a large store-house, the property of MR. JAMES TYNAN of Bunderg, containing the produce of several acres of flax, a quantity of turf, and various other articles which were totally consumed. Mr. Tynan is a very respectable and well conducted man, and, we believe, has never been connected with party. We understand he has served the necessary notice to obtain compensation for his loss.

IMPORTANT TO FARMERS – The following case was tried at Omagh Quarter Sessions, on Saturday last, 2nd April, before an intelligent jury empanelled to try the case: - MR. JAMES TYNAN, a respectable farmer and large flax grower, had last season about 25 acres of flax of prime quality. – The produce of one field, containing 16 acres, was distributed amongst five different mills: four of the mills gave nearly equal quantities; the fifth mill, belonging to a man named MR. SAMUEL STEEL, near Newtownstewart, was short in the delivery of his lot of cleaned flax, to the extent of nearly 8 cwt. Mr. Tynan sued him for the amount and showed that he did not take proper care of the flax, and obtained a decree with costs. [Londonderry Standard]

MESSRS. HENRY GRAY & CO.,

TOWNSEND-STREET FOUNDRY, BELFAST

Gentlemen – In your reply to your Letter of Enquiry as to how the Steam Flax Mill you erected for me in March last is doing – I have had four months’ trial of her, and am gratified to state that the Mill is everything I could wish her to be. She has been seen by several Engineers and Scientific Gentlemen in the neighbourhood – and said by them to be on the most improved principle; also four of my men have been employed in steam mills in many places, and they say she is superior to any they have been in. I would advise all my Friends wanting Steam Machinery to give Messrs. HENRY GRAY & CO., Townsend-Street Foundry, Belfast, a trial before going elsewhere, as their Terms are Reasonable and their Workmanship Good.

I am, Gentlemen, Respectfully yours &c.,

BOILER EXPLOSION – On Tuesday, 11th instant, an explosion of a dangerous nature, although, fortunately not attended with loss of life, occurred at the flax mill of JAMES TYNAN, ESQ., Bunderg, near Newtownstewart. It appears that the workers were assembling after breakfast hour, and the mill was about to be started, when a report, resembling thunder, was heard, and the boiler was torn out of its seat and carried a distance of 250 yards, in its course throwing down a tall chimney stack and tearing some large trees out by the roots. Immediately after the accident Mr Tynan despatched one of his sons to Belfast for a new boiler, which it is expected will be in working order in about two weeks from this date. – Correspondent. [Londonderry Standard]

August 15 1868

ALLEGED MALICIOUS BURNING. – On the night of Wednesday, the 12th instant, the steam flax-mill, the property of MR. JAMES TYNAN, Bunderg, near Douglass Bridge, was discovered to be on fire. It would appear that on the night in question Mr. Tynan’s son had arrived from Belfast, where he had purchased a new boiler for the use of the mill, and while the family were engaged in conversation at about half-past eleven o’clock, the servants called out that the flax-mill was on fire. On going to the scene of the conflagration it was discovered that the mill door over the mill appeared to have been forced open. A large quantity of flax-straw ready for scutching, as well as the mill were on fire. Every effort was made to extinguish the flames, but without success. The fire was not got under until considerable damage was done. It is said that the burning is malicious, as Mr. Tynan, previous to his leaving the mill for the night, had taken the most vigorous precaution to guard against anything of the kind occurring. The fact of the loft door having been forced open, and the dried flax therein having been set fire to, is an additional evidence of the true character of the affair. No cause can be assigned for the perpetration of it. On the eve of the flax scutching season, this has been the third case of the kind which has occurred within a radius of a very few miles. The constabulary, as well as the inhabitants of the district, cannot be too vigilant in endeavouring to hunt the matter up. It will be remembered that some years ago, outrages in the arson way were perpetrated in this neighbourhood, and it was only when public denunciatory meetings were held, and the farming population became united together for the protection of their property, that the outrages ceased. Malicious burnings have now become so frequent that similar measures must be resorted to. It is said that neither mill nor machinery was insured in the present instance. – Correspondent.
