1848 - Francis Blake sworn as High Sheriff

Francis Blake, Esq., Cregg Castle, was, on Monday last, sworn as High Sheriff for this county, for the present year. This gentleman's appointment will, we have no doubt, give general satisfaction, as he is deservedly esteemed and respected by all classes. Mr. Blake has nominated J.M. O'Hara, Esq., his under Sheriff, whose conduct in office for the past three years, elicited universal approbation.

The High Sheriff
 We have sincere pleasure in informing the numerous friends of Francis Blake, Esq., of Cregg Castle, High Sheriff of this county, on the authority of his Medical attendant, Dr. Prendergast, of this town, that the esteemed gentleman is convalescent from fever, which he contracted in attending the late Assizes of Galway.

We regret to have to announce the death of J. H. Workman, Esq. Barrister, which took place in Dublin, on the evening of Wednesday, of fever, which he took at the Assizes.
Tuam Herald, April 22, 1848
