Workhouse register interpretation

[brianoleary85]

I've been looking through the workhouse registers newly put up on findmypast.ie, and I've been able to unearth some great stuff about my family.

However, one thing I can't quite understand is in the register for my ancestor who died having spent just over a month in the North Dublin Union workhouse.

Under "Observations on Conditions of Pauper when admitted" seems to me to be written "Cab Case"... There are 40 or so individuals on the page, but he was the only person who warranted an observation



Am I correct in reading it as "Cab Case"?? Any ideas what it could mean?

Thanks for your help in advance!

On this link see "Notes regarding the North Dublin Union and Thurles Indoor Registers"
The explanation suggests that "Cab Case" means that the person was brought to the workhouse in a cab provided or paid for by the Union.

Aha, thank you Conahy. That could well explain it!
