FARMER KILLED. WAS CLEANING HIS GUN
WITH A RED-HOT POKER.
The "Freeman's Journal" states that at Mallow on Wednesday
evening a fatal gun explosion occurred. A farmer, named
Kelly, with a red-hot poker was endeavouring to clean out
the nipple of an old gun when an explosion occurred, and
Kelly was killed.

From the Pembrokeshire Herald and General Advertiser, 7 July 1871 -

THE RAID ON THE MILITIA BARRACKS AT MALLOW.

The magisterial investigation into the attack on the Militia Barracks at
Mallow was resumed on Saturday, when further evidence was given as
to the finding of a flask of gunpowder at the lodgings of one of the
principal prisoners, and as to the absence of a material Crown witness
whom the police hope to lay their hands on. The Crown solicitor
applied for the committal of all the prisoners. After a long discussion
as to how far the different prisoners were affected by the evidence, the
magistrate discharged Martell and McNamara absolutely, and
committed Cashman, Murphy, Daniel M'Carthy, Robert O'Sullivan, on
the charge of conspiracy to commit a felony, burglary, and larceny of
arms. Murphy and Cashman were admitted to bail. O'Brian, Doyle, and
Barrett were remanded till Tuesday, when they will be discharged if the
Crown solicitor cannot procure further evidence ; in the meantime they
are admitted to bail.
