Arrest on Suspicion
Our Dungarvan Correspondent writes to us
that on Friday evening Acting Constable John Linnehan and Sub-Constable Thomas
Wilson, of the Dungarvan Police Station, arrested in the public streets of that
town a young man named Michael Crotty, who resides about two miles from
Dungarvan. On his person were found two
canisters of gunpowder, a part of a blasting fuse, a drill book, a book of
seditious songs, and a small catholic prayer book.
He was brought before the magistrates at
petty sessions on Saturday, and information sworn by the two policemen. He was committed for trial at the next quarter
sessions, in default of finding bail, himself in £40, and the sureties in £20
each.
