A local man, whose father is an RIC constable, was sentenced to two months jail in Carrick-on-Shannon courthouse today, for unlawful assembly on October 3rd last. He was accused of shouting “Up the Rebels” and “Watch Thornton and Keady”, who were the two RIC policemen who were on duty on the day. James O’Brien was offered to be bound over to keep the peace, but refused to pay the bond of £20, hence the jail term.
