Tipperary Free Press, March 13th 1833 TITHE SUFFERERS
FUND. On Monday Leonard Keating, Esq. and the proprietor
of the Free Press, waited upon the Sheriff, and made the
necessary arrangements preparatory to the release from
captivity of that talented young gentleman, John Keating
O'Dwyer, Esq. which gratifying event took place on
yesterday. There is still one sufferer , Mr. Lysaght
Pennefather, whose incarceration, owing to private
causes, has been unfortunately protracted. Mr. P. has
saved us the the disagreeable task of rebutting the low
and mean insinuations which have been groundlessly cast
upon the men of this county. Any dereliction of
principle we shall take care to place to the account of
the delinquent without allowing any portion of blame to
attach to those undeserving of it. This much we shall
only say, that the Patriotic men of Tipperary cannot be
swayed by the sectarian prejudices which only those who
entertain them habitually, could attribute to them, of
this fact Mr. Pennefather is aware , and of course he
never felt for a moment he was abandoned. Thus stands
the case-a heavy debt remains yet to be discharged-this
is not the time and the place to tell how the debt has
accumulated-it is sufficient to say, that if those
Parishes that have been hitherto criminally apathetic,
perform their duty-no stain shall remain on the honour
of Tipperary.

ANTI-GAGGING MEETING. On Sunday last there was a very

March 20th

Robbery of Fethard Chapel. John Kelly was placed at the
bar charged with having stolen a chalice and other
articles from the Chapel of Fethard, in February last.
Rev. Redmond Burke, examined by Mr. Scott,K.C.-Is curate
of Fethard, remembers last Feb. the Chapel of Fethard
was broken into on the 10th of that month, the Chalice
and other silver items were taken therefrom, saw a part
of the stolen property on the following day in Clonmel,
they were broken up, but is able to state from the marks
on them, that they were the same as had been in the
Chapel of Fethard for many years. Mr. Denis
Madden-Silversmith, sworn-Recollects Feb.last; remembers
that information came to town to Captain Gunn, that the
Chapel of Fethard was robbed of silver articles.
Sergeant Moylan of the police brought the the letter to
him and told him to be on the look out; On the same
evening the prisoner Kelly called on him "between the
two lights" and his lady was standing at the door; He
(Prisoner) asked her did she buy silver and she answered
yes, he then (Madden) desired lights to be brought to
the shop in order that he may see the silver; the
prisoner exposed a parcel in which a great deal of
silver was tied up, and said pointing to one piece-here
is an epaulet which I got to sell, and there are
spangles on it; witness said that there were no spangles
in general on epaulets, but did not much contradict him;
the prisoner then took out the silver, and in it there
was a large piece, almost a quarter of a yard long,
which at once led him (Madden) to suspect that it was
belonging to the Chapel. This said he (Madden) must have
been part of a bowl, yes answered the prisoner, it is
part of a bowl which I got from a parson who sayeth he
would make more money by selling it than keeping it
perfect. Well said (Madden) to the prisoner, if you
leave it here until the morning, I shall examine it, and
try whether it is silver or not-and if you want change
in the meantime, I can lend it to you. I then, My Lord,
said Madden offered him a sixpence, but he said it was
not enough, so I then gave him a shilling and told him
to be with me early in the morning. When he (prisoner)
went I proceeded to the Police Barrack in quest of
Sergeant Moylan, but he was out on duty, I went again at
11 O'Clock and he was not there at that time, after that
I left word that if he should come in, to send him down
to me, and when I saw Moylan, I told him the whole
transaction, and he and the prisoner met together on the
following morning in my shop, when I gave him
up(prisoner) to the sergeant. Sergeant Moylan
corroborated the latter part of the testimony of
witness, and proved to the taking of the silver, etc.
from Kelly. The Prishner then asked a few questions of
Mr.Maden which he satisfactorily answered.

The jury after a few moments consultation found the
prisoner guilty. Court-You shall be transported, Kelly
for the term of 7 years. Kelly-Very well, your Lordship,
will I be liberated after that number of years Court-I
can't tell you that, Kelly.

James and Judith Blake, two most wretched objects were
placed at the bar for coining-Not guilty. CC. Malone
gave prisoners a very good character.

Michael Hayes was placed at the bar charged with the
murder of Launcelot Hearne-Not Guilty.

John Flinn was placed at the bar charged with having
received money known to have been stolen-Guilty.

The court rose shortly before 6 O'Clock.
