Mr. J.A. Byrne, QC. sat today in the Court House in Ballinrobe, Co. Mayo, to

cases to be inquired into, and the first was that of Lady Mountmorres, who
claims for the murder of her husband at Clonbur on the 25th Sept. 1880.
Among the other claims is one by Mr. Hearn, Petty Sessions Clerk, who seeks
compensation for personal injuries inflicted on him on the 28th of Feb.
1880, when he was fired at and wounded a short distance from Ballinrobe.
Another is by Thomas Huddy for the murder of his father at Lough Mask, and
one by Michael Huddy for the murder of his son John Huddy, also one by John
Gibbons, for the murder of his son near Clonbur on the 17th March last, and
by Bridget Gibbons, wife of the last claimant, for personal injuries
inflicted on her on the same occasion. There is a claim by John Dolan for
personal injuries inflicted on him on the night of the 26th September, 1881,
when he was dragged out of his room by a party of men, who cut of his ear.
Michael Fennick claims for the murder of his son on the 29th June 1880.
