    Hi,
    Another court record that I need assistance with.

    The accused lived in Ballycran(n)a, parish of Clonbeg, Co. Tipperary and I would like to know where he dumped the heap of dung on the public road:)

    Where was the court? It would narrow down the are to search.

    This is what I can make out.
    Selling spirits without licence on the 29th March last

    ......ling the public frontage(?) of the Road at Babuanaba on the 29th March last by leaving a heap of Dung thereon

    Fined sixpence for both

    Is this the location (note different spelling)? http://maps.osi.ie/publicviewer/#V1,580696,630175,5,1

    Victor, I believe that it is..
    "Obstructing the public passage of the road at Balin........ on 29th March last by leaving a heap of dung thereon"

    The court case took place in Tipperary town in 1856.

    Yes the OSI reference is correct.

    I'd make that Balinamaloo. I didn't look hard but if I've the right Ballycrana on Google maps, there's a townland just north of it called Knockballymaloogh. Last bit is 'Fined sixpence for costs.'
