The accused was remanded on bail of \u00a310, and two bounties of \u00a35 each, to appear at the Rural Petty sessions. It appears that M’CLOSKEY and the defendant had an altercation arising through a dispute between the latter and M’CLOSKEY’S wife. As a remit, Mary ARMSTRONG, it is alleged, hit M’CLOSKEY in the face with a knife. The weapon inflicted a severe stab, extending from the eyebrow to the lip and severing a portion of the cartilage of the nose. The injured man was at once driven to Derry by Mr. STEWART of Magheracannon, and was attended by Dr. CRAIG, who stitched the wound. The police were communicated with and Constable MILLS of the Waterside station, at once proceeded to Magheracannon and arrested the accused.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 28 Apr. 1898 – married 23 Apr. 1908 Injury to a Lad Newbuildings <\/strong>1740 Protestant Household Returns 3 Apr. 1830 26 Dec. 1843 died 10 Jan. 1849 – To the Editor of the Derry Journal 30 Mar. 1864 – died 31 Mar. 1866 – died 11 Mar. 1875 10 Mar. 1887 – died 21 Apr. 1887 – died 9 Jun. 1899 – died 10 Sept. 1901 – married 24 Dec. 1904 – died 7 Oct. 1905 – died 15 Jul. 1916 – soldiers Prehen Townland<\/strong> – Population in 1841, 98; in 1851 75; 1862 30 Males, and 38 Females;<\/p>\n\n\n\n Index to the Griffiths Valuation Prehen 17 May 1823 – died 30 Apr. 1829 9 May 1829 – Married 19 Sept. 1835 4 Sept. 1840 – died 14 Apr.1841 Distressing Accident 2 Oct. 1847 Harvest Home at Prehen<\/p>\n\n\n\n On Monday evening last, the 27th ult., the harvest operations having been completed at Prehen, Captain KNOX, the hospitable proprietor, kindly entertained at his residence, upwards of 70 of his labourers and tenants. The dinner consisted of an abundant supply of roast beef and pudding, and the company were regaled with plenty of ale. After dinner the assembly retired to a large room, which was tastefully fitted up for the occasion, where dancing commenced and was kept up with extraordinary animation and energy during the night. At eight o\u2019clock, the generous and popular host, with his lady, the Misses KNOX, and Miss GREENE, their governess, entered the room, which was the signal for a hearty burst of applause. Captain KNOX then addressed the meeting, saying that he was rejoiced to see them all there, and as long as they they continued the same peaceable and industrious tenantry they had hithertofore been, they would find him a considerate and indulgent landlord. This declaration was responded with hearty cheers. At twelve o’clock a lighted tar-barrel was set down before the hall-door and the night being very fine, the assembly repaired thither, and kept the merry dance for some time, after which they returned to the ball-room and protracted their enjoyments till 6 o’clock in the morning, when they separated for their respective homes highly pleased with the night\u2019s entertainment. The company was supplied with tea, fruit and cakes, and while the festive scene lasted, those who chose to drink of more potent liquours, enjoyed the opportunity of indulging their taste ‘ad libitum’, an indulgence, however, which none curried beyond the limits of decorum and moderation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 15 Jul. 1848 – died 16 Feb. 1866 Assizes Londonderry 25 Jan. 1867 The Foyle Frozen 13 Mar. 1867 – died 24 Nov. 1877 – assizes 5 Nov. 1878 – married 29 Apr. 1879 died 16 Sept. 1879 died 6 Oct. 1881 Deplorable case of Drowning on the Foyle 14 Oct. 1881 Pehen Road – To Let 28 Dec. 1883 died 28 May 1884 died 18 Aug. 1888 Sad Fatality Edward BROLLY, Simpson’s brae, said he was sitting in a field on Prehen road, when he observed something floating in the river, and went down to the beach. He then saw what he supposed was a man or a woman in the water, and threw off his clothes and went in. Robert GRAY threw him a piece of a rope, and he put it round the body, but it slipped off. The body then went further out in the river towards the channel and he could not reach it. He then went to the Foyle Fishery and got a boat and brought the body ashore. At the time he attempted to draw out the body with the rope he believed the woman was dead. When the body was found the deceased had on her petticoat, stockings, one boot, cap, and a handkerchief about her neck. One boot fell off when she was being brought out. The coroner re-called the deceased’s son, and questioned him as to the state of the woman’s mind. He replied that he had never known anything wrong with her mind. She always lived on the best of terms with the family, and he had never known her to take drink during her lifetime. The jury returned an open verdict, to the effect that Anne M’LAUGHLIN was found drowned in the river Foyle, opposite Prehen, on the 17th August. It may be stated that after the body was found, it was taken charge of by the constabulary at the Waterside, who had it conveyed to the morgue. During the proceedings of the inquest, the coroner, with the object of ascertaining the state of mind in which the woman left the infirmary, despatched a constable for the house surgeon. The constable returned with the intelligence that the house surgeon was absent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 27 Dec. 1890 died 9 Jan. 1892 died 15 Mar. 1906 Fatality at Prehen<\/p>\n\n\n\n On Tuesday Mr. Thomas LINDSAY held an inquiry at Dunhugh, Prehen, into the circumstances connected with the death of Mrs. Kathleen Ann MORRISON aged sixty-five years, which oocurred at her residence the previous evening. Sergeant ARMSTRONG, of Waterside Barrack, represented the constabulary.

The deceased had lived alone in a house on the roadside and supported herself by washing. On Monday evening two men, William KINCAID and Edward CLIFFORD were passing by the house and observing the clothes in the process of washing scattered about and the door of the house open, they entered to learn what the cause of the disorder might be. The house was dark and on lighting a match they found the woman lying on her bed, in an unconscious state. There was a little blood on her jaw or side of the face. They went the Waterside and apprised Dr. ELLIOT, dispensary medical officer of the district.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A man named James SMITH also went into the house about nine o\u2019clock on Monday evening, and saw the deceased in the condition described. He came back several times and saw her attended to between that time and the hour she died, which was about ten o\u2019clock on Tuesday night. Dr. ELLIOT stated that he saw deceased on Tuesday morning. She was then in an unconscious state, suffering from compression of the brain and fracture of the skull. There was a small wound above the right temple over the seat of the fracture. From the appearance he concluded that the injury had been caused by a fall on a sharp stone. He had had her under treatment shortly before for giddiness in the head. The jury found that the woman died from a fracture of the skull, caused by falling on a stone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 26 Jan. 1883 31 Aug. 1877 <\/p>\n\n\n\n Rossnagalliagh Townland <\/strong>(Rossnagalla, Rossnagallagh) <\/strong>“point or wood of the nuns” – size 205a, 1r, 25p – Population in 1841, 130; in 1851 113; in 1862 38 Males and 55 females; in 1881, 89; in 1891, 87; in 1901, 57. <\/p>\n\n\n\n A Scutching-flax Mill was located here in 1873 and the topographical Dictionary of Ireland by Samuel Lewis in 1837 reports on Glendermott, that Ailid ODERMIT founded a nunnery at Rossnagalliagh in 879, of which some traces remain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Index to the Griffiths Valuation Rossnagalliagh <\/p>\n\n\n\n 25 Mar. 1845 the Honourable Irish Society – Expenses of schools 31 Mar. 1858 the Honourable Irish Society Donations to schools 9 Aug. 1865 Tirkerran Farming Society awards 8 May 1876 – died 14 Jan. 1881 The Irish Society and Their Tenants<\/p>\n\n\n\n We have been with furnished with the subjoined particulars touching the relations of the Society with some of their tenants. For a body holding property in trust for the benefit their occupiers the Society appear to be managing their estates in a singularly high-handed and ungenerous manner. Their action, as detailed below, is hardly calculated to win for them, the estimation of the public, the character of liberal or considerate trustees, and it will scarcely be considered anything to excite surprise should their action as rent-raisers be brought before the House of Commons. The particulars alluded to, so far as we have learned them, are as follow, and refer entirely to the townland of Rossnagallagh, in possession of the Irish Society, and situated near New Buildings. Something over 60 years ago, the rents of the lands of Rossnagallagh were raised by the Society from 2s 6d. an acre to several times that rate. The tenants grumbled at the increase and their complaints reached the Society, who in turn made representations on the matter to the then agent, Mr. David BABINGTON, Grocers Hall and asked him why he imposed such high rents? Mr. BABINGTON held that the rents demanded were not too high, and consented to take a lease of the townland for 61 years at the new rental, which then amounted to \u00a3108. The Society agreed. One of Mr. BABINGTON’S first acts was to increase the rental to \u00a3150. He offered the tenants leases for 31 years and some lives. The offer was accepted. This was in 1817. Some years ago Mr. BABINGTON’S lease expired, and the Society took the townland into their own hands. Prior to this the leases of some of the tenants expired also, when their rents were raised, one man’s from \u00a344 to \u00a364, another\u2019s from \u00a325 to almost \u00a333, another’s from \u00a321 to \u00a328, and another\u2019s from \u00a39 to \u00a311. Further, these tenants were last year served with notice for an additional increase. The notice ran as follows;<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Hon. the Irish Society’s Ofiice, Londonderry, November, 1880. Dear Sir This notice, signed by the agent, Mr. A. C. C PLUNKET is for a year’s rent, and was, it is stated, served upon one tenant, whose lease has not yet expired. The new increases are, mentioning the rents in the same order, as above- from \u00a364 to \u00a374; from \u00a333 to almost to \u00a338 17s 6d ; from \u00a328 to over \u00a334; and from \u00a311 to \u00a315 almost. In the first-mentioned case, Griffith\u2019s valuation is \u00a350 10s, in the second \u00a329, in the third \u00a320 15s. in the fourth \u00a38 15s. Moreover, the increases are, it is said, wholly because the tenants improvements, as they were not in any way assisted by the Society and have been hard-working, industrious farmers, who have spent large sums of money in building, draining, and otherwise improving their holdings. They have objected to pay the last increases. They have three times offered to pay their late rents, but these have been thrice refused. Prior to the latest refusal (on Monday last) they received a letter, of which, the following is a copy<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Hon. the Irish Society\u2019s Office, Londonderry 6th January, 1881. (Rent) Dear Sir This, as has been said, elicited on Monday another tender of their late rents by the tenants concerned, when their offer was again rejected. What the next step will be remains to be seen, but it is to be trusted, in face of the hardships from the recent unproductive harvests, in face of the great quantities of imported produce and the high price of labour, and in face of the reductions granted by so many landlords to their tenants, that the Irish Society will see fit to be satisfied with the former amounts from their Rossnagallagh occupiers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2 Sept. 1884 – died 8 Feb. 1892 Stabbing Case at Newbuildings The deposition of the injured man was read over by Mr. SCOTT, clerk of the Rural Petty sessions district. LYNCH was cross-examined by Mr. MAXWELL and denied that he was drunk on the occasion. He said it was very shortly after M’CLINTOCK attacked him that he met OSBORNE. It was probably not more than twenty yards from where he saw M’CLINTOCK first that he met OSBORNE. He was not off the public road all the time. On cross examination by Mr. MILLER, LYNCH said he left Derry that night about eight o’clock. There was a boy named Henry BARR with him. BARR accompanied him up the Prehen road, he could not say how far. He told the boy to go on in front. At that time witness was sitting on the ditch. He only sat about 3 minutes. He sat down to rest himself. He spoke to a man named William M’CLOSKEY at Newbuildings. That was about 9 o’clock. Of course he did not pay particular attention to the time, as he did not know that he would be in court. He was not in a public house with M’CLOSKEY and took no drink with him. OSBORNE’S house was only a short distance off the side of the public road. He met M’CLINTOCK before he got to OSBORNE’S house. Sergeant CASEY asked for a further remand to the Derry rural sessions on Wed. next. Mr. MAXWELL said he did not object to the remand, but asked that his client be liberated on bail. Mr. MILLER made a similar application on behalf of his client. Sergeant CASEY said he did not oppose to the application so far OSBORNE was concerned, but he did oppose bail being accepted for M’CLINTOCK, as the injured man had been stabbed in two places and it was hard to say what might be the result. Mr. MILLER and Mr. MAXWELL reminded the magistrates that the injured man was before them in the flesh giving evidence and while the stabbing might be a matter for increasing the punishment it had nothing to do with the acceptance of bail, as that would be done on the production of a doctor’s certificate that the man’s life was out of danger. The magistrates remanded the prisoners for trial at the rural sessions, but agreed to accept bail in both cases for each defendant in \u00a320 and two sureties of \u00a310 each.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 14 Sept. 1905 Petty sessions District Inspector M’HUGH prosecuted, and Mr. P. MAXWELL defended. Robert George ABRAHAM, Dunhugh, gave evidence as to the row between HANNA, DEVLIN and M’CLOSKEY at the public-house. After they were separated HANNA went towards home. Shortly afterwards HANNA returned and said he was stabbed. He accompanied him to Londonderry, and informed the police. About the time HANNA returned, he heard M’CLOSKEY say he had a knife and he swore an oath that he would cut him to pieces when he came back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n David M’CARTER, Samuel M’KEEVER, and Peter M’GLINCHEY gave similar evidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sergeant Luke FEENY deposed to HANNA having made a complaint to him on Saturday night of the stabbing and also having later on, arrested the accused. In his trousers pocket he found a penknife.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This was all the evidence produced by the crown and without evidence being called for the defence, the defendant was returned for trial to the quarter sessions, being admitted to bail, himself in \u00a310 and two sureties of \u00a35 each.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Resource- Rossnagalliagh: A Country School 1839-1977 by Ruth Olphert ISBN-10: 0957239807 ISBN-13: 978-0957239807<\/p>\n\n\n\n sources The Parliamentary Gazetteer of Ireland: Adapted to the New Poor Law Vol. 3 1846<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/cotyrone.com\/~inthenews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/image.png\")

A social gathering of young children was held in Magheracannon on Thursday evening week, in connection with a reunion inaugurated some years ago with great success by Mr. Joseph M’GOWAN. This year 57 children attended at Mr. M’GOWAN’S home. The children were arranged in processional order and marched, singing, through Newbuildings. After a good march the procession returned to Mr. M’GOWAN’S house, where a plentiful supply of tea and fruit-bread was served out. A good many sympathisers from Derry and elsewhere visited the place of meeting. After a pleasant evening, the meeting was dismissed with the benediction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Patrick BOYLE, a servant lad, applied to recover compensation from Robert KEE, farmer. Magheracanon, for injuries received. Mr. W. P. MOODY appeared for the applicant and Mr. W. WILSON for the respondent. The case for the applicant was that the respondent sent him to work at Mr. GLENN’S threshing mill. While there his hand got caught in the machinery and he lost two fingers. For the defence it was stated that Mr. KEE had made a liberal offer to the father of the lad. Evidence was also given to prove that the boy was larking around the machine and was wholly responsible for the accident. His Honour said he must fix compensation and as it was the case of a boy, full wages would have to be allowed for. These, calculated at 8s a week up to date, came to \u00a35 12s, but as it appeared defendant had already given \u00a32 the decree would be for \u00a33 12.s. and a payment of 8s weekly in future until the boy was fit for work again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An historic house, built in 1740 for Andrew Knox, MP for Donegal, after he married Prehen heiress Honoria Tomkins two years earlier. The architect was almost certainly Michael Priestley who did a lot of work in Derry and Donegal counties around that time; his initials MP were found on a rafter in the attic.

On Sunday last, between twelve and one o’clock, four young men belonging to the water side, went into a crazy old boat, which they found on the beach opposite Prehen, for the purpose of amusing themselves. They had neither sail nor oars, but as a substitute for the latter, they procured two shovels. They had not proceeded far when she began to fill with water, and fearing she would instantly go down, they sprang out, Three of them were fortunate enough to make the shore; the young man who first quitted her, sunk to rise more. His remains have not yet been got. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

An accident of painful description occurred on the road between the Waterside and Prehen, on the evening of Saturday, the 3rd inst., the particulars of which are as follow – A respectable young man of the name of James CUNNINGHAM, a resident at Tully, was returning from Derry with a horse and a loaded cart and when near Prehen Wood, a young woman with a bandbox in her hand, came suddenly on the road from the adjoining field, which startled the horse, which was young and spirited, that he attempted to run away, CUNNINGHAM was walking beside the horse at the time, but had not a hold of the reins, as he had previously fixed them to the cart, and before he could catch them to restrain the animal, the cart came in contact with his shoulder and threw him with great violence to the ground. While lying in this situation, one of the wheels passed over his legs, and, strange to tell, the right leg sustained no injury, while the left was almost crushed to pieces, so much so, that the foot was all but severed from it. In a state of excruciating torture he was carried home on a hurdle, where Dr. BAIRD was promptly in attendance and rendered all the assistance that professional skill could suggest. It is highly gratifying to state that amputation was deemed unnecessary, although the injury was of the most serious kind. Mr. CUNNINGHAM is a young man of the most excellent character and his friends were greatly grieved hearing that he had sustained so dreadful an accident. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

John THOMPSON of Dullerton, was charged with assaulting John DUFFY at Prehen, on the night of Wednesday week. It appeared that both the parties had met near Prehen on the night in question, and that the complainant assaulted the defendant, when both began to fight and rolled over each other in the mud on the public road. Both parties, by mutual consent, then ceased fighting, but later in the evening complainant was severely beaten on the road, but he would not swear that his assailant was the defendant. No evidence being forthcoming against the defendant, the case was dismissed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Your readers will surprised to learn that such is the intensity of frost in this neighbourhood that, Friday last, the 18th, parties crossed the river Foyle, opposite Prehen, about a quarter of mile above the New Bridge of Derry and where the river measures a quarter of a mile across. On yesterday (Sunday) some hundreds of parties crossed and re-crossed the river at the same place. This event is unprecedented since 53 years ago and it is remarkable that then, on the same day of the month of January (the 18th) the river Foyle was first crossed on the ice, collected by the severe snow storm of that year, when three fourths of the old wooden bridge was curried away. In 1814, however, parties able to cross the river so far down as Pennyburn a mile below the town, many of the adventurers being on horseback; but at the present time the river below the bridge is not frozen over, but studded with masses of broken ice. During the storm of 1814, it is recorded that the crew of a Swedish vessel, anchored at Derry quay, killed or captured no less than 150 eels in a single tide. They were in a torpid state, owing to a severe frost. A similar year of intense severity was experienced in the year 1739. At present a ground thaw has set in, and the masses of ice in the river are all in motion. (Tyrone Constitution)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two young men named M’DAID and LOGUE were drowned on Sunday last in the River Foyle, about one mile from Londonderry. They had pulled up the river in a jolly boat and put in at Prehen Wood, where, having got a bush, they placed it in the prow. They then allowed the boat to drift with the wind and tide, the bush answering the purpose of a sail. By some mishap the boat was capsized and the two occupants drowned within a few yards of the shore. M’DAID was the son of a respectable widow woman, residing in Bishop Street (without). LOGUE was the son of a decent man of that name, who is employed at the Morecambe Wharf. Both young men were about 18 years of age. M’DAID was apprenticed to the gas-fitting business. LOGUE had been working on board a steamer and later was engaged in employment on the railway. (Ballymoney Free Press)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yesterday afternoon Mr. Thomas LINDSAY, city coroner, held an inquest on the premises of Mr. James CONNOR, Strand road, touching the cause of death of a married woman, aged 70 years, named Anne M’LAUGHLIN, whose lifeless body had been discovered floating in the Foyle, opposite Prehen House, in the early part of the day. A jury having been sworn of which Mr. John DOHERTY was foreman, James M’LAUGHLIN, son of deceased, residing at Foyle view, identified the body and afterwards stated that he last saw deceased alive at his own house about twenty minutes to ten o’clock in the morning. She had been 3 months in the infirmary and was discharged on the previous day. It was for weak turns that she was in the infirmary and complained that morning of a severe pain in her side.
Bridget M’LAUGHLIN, Fahan street, said she was up Prehen road about 11 o’clock and was engaged gathering rack. (rock?) She saw the deceased coming down a lea field on to the shore. She passed witness and sat down on a stone under a bush. Afterwards witness went past where deceased was sitting. She then arose, took off her cloak and her clothes, and threw herself into the river off a rock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Samuel MORRISON, husband of the deceased, stated that the last time he saw the deceased alive was about six o’clock on Monday evening. At the time she was milking a cow in the byre, when another cow knocked her down. He lifted her from under the cow, but she never spoke. Dr. BROWNE deposed he was called to see the deceased about nine o’clock. On his arrival life was extinct. On examination he found a lacerated wound on deceased\u2019s left leg about eight inches long and a vein burst and torn. There was also a lacerated wound on the right leg. In his opinion the cause of death was hemorrhage and shock. The jury found a verdict accordingly and expressed their sympathy with deceased\u2019s husband in his bereavement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/cotyrone.com\/~inthenews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Primity-from-Roadjpg.jpg\")
