  Petty Court Session	23 Aug 1884 Newtownbarry, Co. Wexford   [1]  – Widower Ellen and her son John are called to attend the Newtownbarry Petty Sessions in Wexford. The court records a series of altercations between John and his neighbours the Brennan family. John accuses both Patrick Brennan and Michael Brennan of assaulting him on August 12th. In turn, Patrick is fined 10 shillings with an order of seven days hard labour in Carlow gaol should the fine not be met. Michael receives a one pound fine with the threat of ten days hard labour in Kilkenny gaol. Patrick counter-accuses John of assault resulting in a fine of five shillings with the threat of seven days hard labour in Carlow gaol should the fine not be paid. Michael also protests that he was assaulted - however, this complaint is dismissed without charges. Ellen is also called to the court to answer a complaint set forth by Michael Brennan. Michael accuses Ellen of allowing four of her goats to trespass in his field of crops. Michael states that this occurred, coincidently, on August 13th, the day after the altercation with her son John. Ellen is forced to pay Michael sixpence plus additional court costs of two shillings*. The Justice orders that Ellen's goods may be seized in the event she does not pay. This will also incur an additional fee of six-pence to issue the warrant. * Most cases put forward to attract a court fee to either the complainant or the defendant. In the instance when Michael accuses John of assault the Justice dismisses the case without costs. The standard cost is two shillings and sixpence. If the defendant fails to comply with the particulars of the court order it may result in a warrant may be issued (to retrieve goods, to imprison a person), the defendant is also charged sixpence for the administrative cost of issuing this warrant.
