The Informations of Thomas Kennedy of Myshall,
Carlow, Farmer, taken before me John F. Cornwall, Esquire, One of His
Majestys Justices of the Peace for Carlow who being duly Sworn on the
Holy Evangelists Saith that some time in the month of January 1813 /
the exact day he cannot state / he, Thomas Kennedy,
deposited the Sum of Twenty Six pounds all Bank of Ireland
Notes viz one ten pound, three five pounds and One pound in a Cupboard
which he locked and kept the Key in his pocket.
That a few days after he went to the Cupboard
which he found locked but on opening it he found that the money had
been feloniously taken away, by some Person or Persons who must have
had a key to open it, as he never gave the key of it to any person but
kept it constantly in his possession.
Informant, Thomas Kennedy, had a Suspicion
that the money had been taken by Garret Nowlan of Myshall, Farmer, and
immediately went to him and demanded it of him but he denied any
knowledge of taking the same.
Informant, Thomas Kennedy, never took any
further steps in the business as he had no proof against any
particular person, that about three or four days ago, as the Informant
was standing behind a ditch near the House of Denis Kehoe of Myshall,
Labourer, he overheard a conversation between Denis Kehoe and Garret
Nowlan, that he heard Garret Nowlan say to Denis Kehoe ~ why won't you
pay me my rent, don't think to run away with it as you did run from
Dan Fenlon, you Rogue, ~ that Kehoe immediately replied ~ I am no
Rogue as you are, it is not like you did not bring false keys and
unlocked the mans Cupboard and take that money as you did ~ after
Garret Nowlan went away the Informant, Thomas Kennedy, went to Denis
Kehoe and told him he would summons him, conceiving from the
expressions that he alluded to the money taken from him, Thomas
Kennedy, the Informant.
