COUNTY TIPPERARY NORTH RIDING ASSIZES 1861- WHITTAKER, 
AUGUST 1ST 1861

Nenagh, Tuesday, July 30th.

Mr. Justice O'Brien took his seat this morning at ten 
O'clock and proceeded with the trial of

Lizzie Eugenie Whittaker versus James Whittaker.

This was an action of trespass and trover.

The plaintiff is a widow, and is sister in law of the 
defendant. The plaintiff's husband, previous to his marriage 
lived with his sister in Palmerstown Place, in the city of 
Dublin, and on his sister being appointed to be teacher in 
the National School in Birr, she left with her brother her 
furniture, which he subsequently, on his marriage, brought 
to a house he had taken in Terenure, in the County of 
Dublin, upon his death the defendant, with his sister, went 
to the Plaintiff's house and took away the goods, which she 
(the sister) maintained were her property, and not that of 
the husband of the plaintiff, and on that occasion the 
alleged assault took place.

The case is still at hearing.
