Roscommon & Leitrim Gazette - Saturday 19 December 1835

Dreadful Murder 

On the night of Wednesday last, a man named John Doonikan / Doonigan / Doonikun was brutally murdered near Ballinameen, about four miles from this town, by three fellows, who watched him while he was drinking in a public house, and, having dogged him for some distance alter left the bouse, knocked him down, and beat in his skull with leaded sticks. The deceased received four blows on the head —each sufficient to cause death. We are happy to say that two of the ruffians have been apprehended by the police party stationed in Ballinameen, and fully corns milted to abide their trial the ensuing Assizes, Boyle Gazette.

    Boyle Poor Law Union formally declared

    <p>The Irish Poor Law Act of 1838 divided Ireland into poor law unions (in which paupers would receive poor relief). A union was named after the town on which it was centred (where its workhouse was located) and the "union" boundaries were unrelated to those of the civil parishes ( and crossed county boundaries in many cases). Prior to this date, poor relief was administered by parish and these records were kept in the Church of Ireland Vestry Books (held locally).</p>
