21st December 1896 South Wales Daily News
Lady's Strange Delusions Warding Off Electric
Shocks. The alleged lunacy of Miss Jane Tracey, who was born in 1837, formed a
subject of inquiry by Master Fischer, Q.C., and a jury in the Examination Hall
of the Law Society's premises in Chancery-lane. The investigation had been
ordered by the Lord Chancellor, on the petition of the lady's brother, Mr
Thomas Burrowes Tracey.
Mr Crump, who appeared for the petitioner, said
that the desire of the lady's relatives was to protect her property and
administer it for her own welfare. Miss Tracey possessed a small estate of
£3,000, which brought her in some £140 per annum. She had two delusions one that
she was being pursued by persons who sought her life; the other that she was
being operated upon with electricity. These hallucinations bad existed before
and continued since her confinement in Bethlehem Hospital in 1895.
Dr. J. C. Hogau, of Kensington, said he had
known Miss Tracey for 20 years. She was often very excitable complained of
noises in her head, and declared that she heard voices speaking to her through
the wall. She suffered subsequently from other delusions, and he signed a
certificate authorising her detention in an asylum. Other evidence was given to
the effect that on one occasion Miss Tracey took a fibre from a broom and
declared it to be an electric needle. Her secrets, she said, were being wormed
out of her by means of electricity, and the only way to prevent this was to
think in French. She had complained also that there was a conspiracy to rob her
of her grey hairs. When at Bethlehem Hospital it was her habit to wrap a cloth
round her head to ward off electric shocks. The case had not concluded when the
Court close.

Hi there,
I've come across one of your Tracy's whom I believe is "missing" from
your website. First found him on an 1880 Census in Rice, Texas then located his
death certificate - both are attached. He would have been the first son of
William and Margaret but is not mentioned.
Since he isn't mentioned I guess there's little point asking whether you
have any further information about him (but will anyway, just in case)! An
American University Professor and one of my cousins are both writing books
about James Douglas Ogilby, who lodged with John Tracy in Rice for 18
months or so and researched the birds of Navarro. We were curious as to the
link between them. JDO's father and grandfather were High Sheriffs and
Lords Lieutenant of County Tyrone so we assume they and John's father William
became acquainted on the Irish legal circuit. At any rate, I found your website
most helpful in establishing this. Thanks!
Kind regards,
Kerrie Binnington 12

2377 From Christopher Fitz-Simon
Dublin, 21 January [1837] Private My Dear Sir, Mr. Drummond has just sent for
me and made the following communication to me. He says they do not place any
reliance on it but still he thought it right to let me know. The communication
came to Col. Shaw Kennedy 1 who in case of necessity has taken all proper
steps. The report came to him that a band of Orangemen intended to attack your
carriage at a bridge in a close glen near Sligo, about 3 miles from the town. I
think it is called Colloony or Ballisodare. Drummond was not certain of the
name. Col. Kennedy has this night sent down to Sligo Sub-Inspector Tracey [William Samuel Tracy, J.P. and sub-inspector
of police, sligo.] with instructions. He is to have 100 men in Sligo and 30
military. He is to have his chief constable with 30 men near the bridge in
question, not to be seen but to be ready to act at once if necessary and, if he
finds any of the Orange party assembling, he is to bring the 100 out of Sligo.
The 30 at the bridge have orders to follow at a short distance, so as not to be
remarkable, after you have passed. Thus they have taken every precaution though
they do not apprehend anything. Yet these Orangemen are such a set, it might if
possible be well if you could avoid going to Sligo. 3 P.S. A current report in
town that old Kavanagh of Carlow died last night.

Samuel Tracy, for nine years a sub-inspector of the police, and now a

to the same facts connected with Ribondism as Mr. Fausset, and produces other
documents. He deposes that "one of the objects was to obtain an
independent legislature for Ireland, and to recover the estates that were
forfeited." He states that his informant in Sligo says, that "all the
peasantry, from sixteen to fifty years of age, are engaged in it, and that its
objects were to be obtained by force, the members being sworn to turn out at
two hours' notice."

November 1862 Masonic Banquet and Testimonial
to Wm. S. Tracy, Esq
On Tuesday
evening, a grand Masonic banquet and testimonial to the R W D P G , master of
Belfast and North Down, Wm S Tracy, P G R C, K H, on his removal from Belfast,
where he has sat for fourteen years discharged the onerous and important duties
of Resident Magistrate with exemplary zeal, ability and impartiality, took
place in the Ulster Hall. This public mark of respect was confined exclusively
to the members of the Masonic Order, in which Mr Tracy has long held very high
rank and office, and was kept quite distinct from the other banquet which the
gentlemen of the town generally are about to give him tomorrow evening. When
the brethern had all assembled, Brother Samuel Gibson Getty, M P, the Past D P
G M of Belfast and North Down, addressing Mr Tracy, said he regretted that, in
consequence of the non-complation of the plate by the goldsmith, they were
unable to present it on that occasion, but it would shortly be ready, and would
be presented in due course. Brother Getty then read the address. Brother Tracy
said that he had prepared a reply but, as he was labouring under a very serious
affection of the chest, caused by his having caught cold, he really could not
read it at that moment. If they would permit him, he would ask Mr Lanyon to
read his reply. Brother Charles Lanyon (Mayor of Belfast) then read the reply,
the conclusion of which was the signal for loud applause. Immediately after the
reading of the address and reply, the brethern proceeded to the minor hall,
where the banquet had been laid out. The interior of the hall was beautifully
decorated with garlands of flowers and with Masonic banners, symbols, &c,
the full meaning of which was known only to the members of the order. Covers
were laid for about 150. The chair was occupied by Brother S G Getty, MP. -
