    3. 5-8-1831 From the Tipperary Free Press. Carrick-on-Suir Meeting to Petition for the total disbandment of the Irish Yeomanry. On Sunday last a numerous and highly respectable meeting of the inhabitants of Carrick-on-Suir took place, at which petitions to both Houses of the Legislature were unanimously adopted, praying for the disbandment of the Irish Yeomanry. The meeting was too large to be held indoors, and was consequently held beneath the friendly shade of the fine elms which adorn the beautiful town residence of Mr. V. O'Donnell. At the hour appointed John Power, Esq. MD, was called to the chair; Edmond Power, Esq. was requested to act as secretary to the meeting, and the following gentlemen were appointed to the committee, James Cantwell, James M. Ryan, John Power, (Carrigbeg), James Prendergast, Valentine O'Donnell, John Rourke, John Boyle, A. O'Riordan, Esqrs; Doctor Shea, and Surgeon Brennan. These gentlemen then retired, but shortly after returned and submitted resolutions to the meeting, all of which were unanimously adopted. Valentine O'Donnell, Esq. was then called to the chair, and thanks being returned to Dr. Power, three hearty cheers were giver for "O'Connell and the Repeal of the Union", after which the meeting separated in the most peaceable and orderly manner. 26-10-1838 From the Tipperary Constitution. On Friday last a letter was directed through the post-office to George Wayland, Esq, of Ballywalter, the father of the young gentleman, who still lingers from wounds received on the morning Mr. Austin Cooper was murdered, threatening him and every member of his family, male and female, with death, unless the persons now in custody for the murder above alluded to were, through his interference, liberated, and all charges dropped. John Ryan (Corbett), supposed to be one of the persons concerned in the murder of the late Austin Cooper, Esq. has been arrested, and fully committed to our county gaol, by B. Nangle, Esq, to abide his trial at the ensuing assizes. At the fair of Borrisoleigh, last August, Michael Magan, Pat Butler and others, waylaid and so severely maltreated John Maher, that he died from injuries on Saturday last: Magan and Butler had been admitted to bail, under a certificate of Maher being out of danger, but upon hearing of the fatal effects of their outrage, they absconded.
