18-Mar-1844 - DRISCOLL, JOHN, Sailor, Kinsale, - (CE 18/3/1844) ‘INQUEST – An Inquest was held on Saturday at the Bridewell before Mr. Coroner Jones, on view of the body of John Driscoll, a sailor, who was drowned in the river Lee, near the Custom House. By the evidence it appeared that deceased was a sailor on board the Elizabeth of Baltimore, and was from the town of Kinsale, being about 28 years of age, and married. On the previous evening, Friday, about half past four o clock, the vessel was dropping down the channel, and when opposite the Custom House, the yards having come into contact with the roof of that building, the deceased got into a small boat with another man, for the purpose of fastening a rope to one of the rings fixed in the Quay, and when doing so, the Captain said to deceased, who evidently had taken some drink, that he had no business there, he appeared so stupid and giddy. In a moment afterwards deceased, who then had one leg on the gunwale, fell head-foremost into the river, and did not rise for several minutes; in the mean time the alarm being given a boat was brought to his assistance, but was under such way, that just as the deceased rose to the surface, it went over him and he rose no more. The body was taken up with grappling iron in a comparatively short time, but although medical aid was brought, it availed not – the vital spark had fled. Verdict – Accidental death.’ (CE)

W. Becher, and those of Ardagh, belonging to Mr. Marmion. - The jury found all the parties guilty, and the Court directed the Cadogans to be imprisoned for one month and Driscoll to be imprisoned for two months.

14-Jul-1847 - Insolvent Debtors - ‘Mr. Mannix M’Carthy waited on the Commissioner to intercede for a debtor, named Cornelius Driscoll, who it appeared, was in prison since February for a debt of £3 7s., and who had not been discharged in consequence of the neglect of the agent already named. The turnkey stated that he was very sick, and in the same wretched situation as the others, who were objects of compassion, if his lordship could do anything for them. The Commisioner replied that he had usually found it the most advantageous mode of conducting business to do one thing at a time. He then gave direction for affording speedy relief in the case of the oppressed and aggrieved man, which had been brought before him through the humane interest of the person who had made the representation.’ (CE)
