1922 - Annaghdown Parish Court

At Annaghdown parish court on 9th inst., Messrs. John Hannon, John Burke (Richard), and Michael Burke presiding.
Dispute about a Grave. The case in which Matt Silke, Corrandulla, sued Mrs. Hanrahan, Bunatubber, for £1 for the digging of the grave in which the remains of defendant's sister (the late Mrs. O'Rourke) were interred was first brought forward at the April court, but as the complainant and defendant disagreed as to the date on which the burial took place it was ajourned in order that a death certificate might be produced. - Complainant now got a decree for 15s., without costs, the defendant being ordered to pay the costs of the court.
Poteen Seized. On Sunday about fourteen of the local Volunteers, with guns strapped to their shoulders, made a tour of the parish, on bicycles. It is reported that they seized some poteen (which they found concealed in a bed) at Shankill. They also visited some publichouses.
