HENRY JONES
Clonmel
................Mr. W. Lawless, Rose-inn-street, exhibited, on behalf of Mr. Henry Jones, jeweller, Clonmel, the fragments of a magnificent penannular gold fibula, lately purchased by him, and which had been dug up by a labourer whilst at work in a potato field called Parkanor, at Cloghora, near Ballydavid, Bansha, county of Tipperary. A quantity of coins and antiques had been found at various times in the locality, as Mr. Jones had learned from the Rev. George Cole Baker, rector of the parish.
The Rev. J. Graves stated that on the occasion of a recent visit to Clonmel, he had examined, at Mr. Jones‘s establishment, the antique before the Meeting. Mr. Jones had informed him that the finder, at first conceiving it to be brass, had broken the penannular ends of the fibula, and formed one of them into a ferule for his walking stick. The portions now before the Meeting were three: first, the centre loop, of very massive proportions, measurin 4 inches from end to end, and three inches in circumference at t e centre, decreasing to 2 3/16ths at the ends beneath the penannular expansions. This fragment was hollow ; but weighed 4 oz. 13 dwts. Troy. Secondly, one of the penannular expansions, in two fragments, and beaten flat; the weight of all three pieces being 8 oz. 6 dwts. Troy. The loop was ornamented below each expansion by a band of five punched fillets, at each side of which was a row of chevron ornaments, neatly and sharply incised with a graver. Round the edge of the plate which formed the penannular end was a raised, solid, round rim; next that, a row of punched-up fillets, and within all a circle of chevrons similar to those already described. By those familiar with similar ornaments, it would be seen that this fibula, although of a larger size than those generally met with, presented the usual type of such antiques, of which there are many fine and perfect examples in the Museum of the Royal Irish Academy. It appeared by a letter which he (Mr. Graves) had received from Mr. J. Wallace, jeweller, Clonmel, that the remaining portion of the fibula had come into the possession of Mr. Wallace.

THE WATCH TRADE IN THE FREE STATE
Watch Trade for Free State?
Government Plan For Monopoly
Jewellers' View
(From the 'Catholic Herald')
Is the Free State going to make "time" of its own?
This is the question that is exercising the minds of the jewellers and silversmiths, consequent on the notice given pursuant to section 17 of the Control of Manufacturers' Act, that the government intend to make an order declaring watches to be a reserved commodity - in other words declare the establishment of a monopoly in the Free State of the production of watches.
Under the act the Minister for Industry and Commerce has power to confine the manufacturer or production of any commodity he thinks suitable to authorised persons. In one instance he has exercised that authority and that was in respect to thread making in Westport, Co. Mayo; he declared it to be a reserved commodity.
On the invitation of the Minister, Dublin jewellers and silversmiths submitted a considered statement giving him all the information in their possession in connection with the complete manufacture or assembly of watches. They are now anxious to discover what scheme the Minister has in mind.
The considered opinion of the trade is opposed to the Minister's plan, because they believe it is not practicable. They would, however, be glad to learn what he proposes to do.
The jeweller with whom I had the conversation, says the correspondent of the 'Catholic Herald', told me that it would be possible to establish a similar industry in the Free State, but he feared, from his experience in the business, and others in the trade agreed with him, that it would probably do more harm than good.
The trade, he said, would be small comparatively, being only worth about £30,000 per year, while the number of watches imported annually totalled about 120,000.
A rigid exclusion of manufactured watches would, he added, be impossible if conditions in the trade in the Free State made smuggling worth while.
