>From the Tipperary Vindicator. 12-8-1844 A Fact for Juries. A man of the name of Neil, tried and found guilty at the last assizes for this county, of the wilful murder of John Kennedy, at Cappagh, in January last, and left for execution, was, on Thursday morning, informed by the governor of the county gaol, that the government had granted him a free pardon. Neil, overpowered with the unexpected intelligence, could not, for some time, credit his informant, and supposed that a mistake had been made-but Mr. Smith confirmed the truth of the statement by conveying him to the prison gates and allowing him to go free. The conviction of Neil was certainly a matter of some surprise on the part of those who heard the trial and the charge of Baron Richards, and the verdict which the jury returned was one, perhaps, of the strangest ever heard in a court of justice-namely, that the prisoner was of good character, and did not intend to perpetrate the crime of which he had been found guilty. We believe, in point of law, that this verdict amounted to an absolute acquittal, because, if the prisoner did not intend to commit the deed, he had no malice prepense, and consequently he did not perpetrate murder, which is only distinguished from manslaughter by the malice of the perpetrator. We are happy that the government has given this proof of honesty in the administration of the law. This simple act will do much towards allaying discontent in the minds of the peasantry, who really believe that there is no protection whatever for their lives and liberties in this unhappy region. 9-6-1846 Extensive fraud in the Cashel Workhouse. The committee of the guardians who visit the house are engaged in investigating a series of alleged frauds over a space of two years, by which it is said that 37 paupers have been charged on the books of the house for the last two years, and that no such persons have been in the house almost since admission, some of them dead, and others unaccounted for. There is another charge undergoing investigation, which preludes us from giving the names of the parties at present, who are charged with sending up the bed and other clothes of an officer of the house who had lately fever, to be washed by the paupers, and thereby running the risk of introducing contagion to 800 or 900 people. We hope, for the sake of the public at large, that those cases will undergo a most rigorous ordeal. 20-3-1846 Fatal effects of intemperance. On Wed. last, a farmer named Denis Crowe, of Killeen, within five miles of this town, employed a large number of men for the purpose of building a boundary ditch. He supplied them with a profuse quantity of ardent spirits, of which many of them, who had not the happiness to be disciples of Father Mathew, partook to excess. The melancholy consequence has been that two men, named McCormack and Ryan, died on the same evening. Two others lie in a precarious state. An inquest was held on the bodies by James Carroll, Esq, Coroner. The jury found that the unhappy men died from from the excessive use of ardent spirits. A third man has since died, and seven others are missing, no trace of them is discovered up to this time. Most probably the endeavoured to find their way home, and died in some dyke or ditch. Five others were most providentially taken into a house on the spot where they were found lying, and by the attention of the poor woman who occupies it, who administered to them large quantities of melted butter, they were saved, and are likely to recover. 19-8-1844 Curious Circumstance---A farmer of the name of Ryan, resident at Barnane, waited on George Ryan, Esq. D.L. Inch House, a few days ago, accompanied by a person of the name of Flanaghan. Ryan stated that the day previous Flanaghan called upon him and offered his services as a labourer, which he (Ryan) declined, observing that he had a person already in that capacity, with whom he was perfectly satisfied. Flanaghan replied that he would enter the employment for any sum that would be given--in fact for two shillings a week, that he would be found more useful than the person already about the farm, and that it would be well to turn the other labourer off. On inquiring into the motives by which he was actuated, Flanaghan told one of Mr. Ryan's servants that he was send by a certain head constable in the neighbourhood, and that he would be able to make a good quantity of money by the business, in addition to the wages he was to receive. Flanaghan was immediately arrested, he adhered to his statement in the presence of the Rev. Thomas Mullany, P.P. Drom, by whose directions he had been brought before the magistrate (Mr. Ryan) D.L. who took down the statement, and said he would do nothing respecting it. The affair, which wears rather an inexplicable aspect, has caused some sensation in the district in which it has taken place, we notice it because it is the topic of general conversation in the district in question.
