Lemon or Lennon?
From Pat Purcell Papers. 1816.
Difficult to make out if the surname on this document is Lemon or
Lenon.
While it is not as clear as a previous document on which was recorded
a Carlow Jeweller with the surname Lemon Mick Purcell thinks this may
also be Lemon because of the "watchmaker" occupation.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Equally interesting is the occupation noted for George Bergan.
Recognizance to Prosecute.
County of Carlow to wit.
Joseph Lemon ( Lenon) of the Town and County of Carlow, Watchmaker,
maketh oath that he usually Resides in the Town of Carlow.
Sworn before me this 28th Day of October 1816.
Be it remembered that the above named Joesph Lemon came in his proper
Person before me and Acknowledged himself to be Indebted unto our
Sovereign Lord King George the Third, in the Sum of Ten Pounds
Sterling. To appear in his proper Person in open Court to Prosecute
George Bergan ( ? ) of Carlow, Bell Man and Town Crier of Carlow.

Year aforesaid.

Names: Kelly, Troy, James & Lyons
From Pat Purcell Papers.
A Rescue
Recognizance was a "Rescue of Goods Distrained for Rent".
If the
Constable, Bailiff or Sheriff seized goods or livestock for
non-payment of Rent / Cess / Tax and if the seized goods were then
taken back by force or other means then that was called "a rescue".
On the
previous Statements we read that Pat Kelly, Matt Lyons, Richard Byrne
have challenged the Constables Troy and James and have taken back the
beasts that were seized.
The Informations as outlined on the
Statements are making serious charges of "rescue" of cows and horse
plus assault charges against Pat Kelly and
Pat Lyons.
