Narrative

I don't have direct evidence that Timothy, Margaret and John Kennedy were definitely siblings, although it seems likely. Certainly there is evidence that both Timothy and Margaret had a brother John, and that they were all born in Nenagh and lived in Withnell, but no proof that this is the same John. Nonetheless, it seems more likely than not that they were indeed siblings. This could be proven by ordering the marriage certificates and checking for a common father's name.

        A CHILD DROWNED IN A MUG OF WATER. - On Wednesday forenoon, a little boy, named Thomas Kennedy, a year and nine months old, son of Timothy Kennedy, labourer, of Withnell, was found drowned in a mug of water, in a house occupied by a man named Christopher Hargreaves, in Withnell. From what the mother of the deceased states, it appears that the last time she saw the deceased alive was about eleven o'clock on Wednesday forenoon, playing in the road near Hargreaves's house, which was about fifty yards from his own home. Towards twelve o'clock she went in search of him, and at length found him dead, with his head and neck in a mug of water, in the back kitchen of Hargreaves's dwelling. The mug was about half full of water. The child must have entered the house from the back way, for Mrs. Hargreaves, who was in the front place, neither saw nor heard any one until the deceased's mother came to look for him. He had been nursed at Hargreaves's up to March last, and he had been in the habit of going to the house by himself. - Mr. M. Myres, coroner, held an inquest over the body of the deceased, yesterday, at the Oak Tree Inn, Withnell. - The jury, after hearing the evidence, returned a verdict of "Accidentally drowned."

        PETTY SESSIONS, MONDAY. - Before T. B. Crosse, E. E. Silvester, J. Rigby, W. H. Talbot, W. Bretherton, Esqs., and the Rev. T. Lund. - John Laird and Timothy Kennedy were summoned for fighting at Withnell. Laird pleaded guilty, and Kennedy said he was fighting in his own defence. Police-constable Sanderson saw them fighting together and separated them. - Kennedy said Laird, whom he did not know came to the next door and began to kick at a late hour, when he got up and told him to desist. Laird then tried to force himself into his house, and he put him out, when he commenced to kick him, so he returned the compliment when the policeman came up. - The charge against Kennedy was dismissed, and Laird was bound over on his own recognizances.
