Friday 18 June 1847 Melancholy Accident A man, named Wm. M'MENAMIN, employed by the officers of the Board of Works in quarrying stones at Gallony, near Strabane, met with an untimely death on Thursday, the 10th instant. It appears that the men employed with him having dug too much earth from the bottom of a bank, it fell in, and the unfortunate man was crushed to death. An inquest was held on the body on the following day before Wm. O. ORR Esq., coroner, and a respectable jury, when a verdict was returned according to the above.
On Monday last, two men named M'KENNA and HANNA, were engaged in cutting timber in Mountjoy Forest, when a tree which they had almost cut through, suddenly fell, crushing M'KENNA to death instantaneously, and breaking HANNA’s leg. An inquest was held on the body of M'KENNA and a verdict returned accordingly. HANNA was removed to the infirmary, where he is gradually recovering, though it is to be feared, he will never recover the use of the broken limb. Dr. Edmund MAXWELL of this town, was unanimously elected medical superiutendant of the Benburb dispensary on the 12th inst. We feel satisfied that the conductors of that institution will have no cause to repent their selection, as Dr. E. MAXWELL was much and deservedly esteemed, both for his talent in his profession, and his unobtrusive deportment, while a resident of our town. married On the 9th inst., at Kilskeery Church by the Rev.
