Tipperary News 29-9-1834 From the Tipperary Free Press. In one of the most disgraceful and senseless riots at the last fair day of Borrisoleigh, a man was so severely beaten that he died within a few days. Informations were taken against one of his assailants, and a party of friends of the deceased went without a warrant on Saturday last, to Pallace, to take him into custody. In the meantime the opposite got information of the intended arrest, and assembled to protect the accused, a conflict ensued between both parties, and, we regret to state, that one man, a friend to the deceased, named Shanahan, was shot dead on the occasion. Some idea may be formed of the sanguinary disposition of the factions towards each other from the following fact:-On Saturday last a party of Darrigs were conveying one of their faction to the fever hospital in Roscrea, when they were assailed by the Cummin's party, and in the conflict a man's jaw was broken. The Rev. Mr. Birmingham, on the following Sunday, addressed the congregation, and denounced in forcible and becoming language these horrible and unnatural factions, to which he justly attributed the misfortunes of the country. 3-4-1869 Clonmel Chronicle. Intelligence of another fearful murder has just reached Clonmel, The victim-it is believed-of agrarian revenge, is Richard Toppin, highly respected by all who knew him. He had recently purchased some property in the vicinity of his residence, near Buffana, within three miles of Fethard, and last evening, it would appear, Mr. Toppin left his residence to visit a part of his farm, and was not afterwards seen alive. A close search having been made, the unfortunate man was found lying murdered, inside the wood of Buffana, Upon examining the body it was found that he had been shot from behind. A report of the outrage has been delivered to the coroner for the district, James J. Shee, Esq. J.P. The news of this awful occurrence, which was conveyed to this town by two of the neighbouring magistracy, has caused the utmost consternation. It furnishes another sad evidence of the present alarming disorganization of society, and of the insecurity of life. 20-3-1874 From the Freeman's Journal. Thomas O'Meara, Esq, coroner of this district held an inquest at Two-Mile-Borris, about three miles from Thurles, on the body of a labouring man named Thomas Hennessy. It appears that the deceased was drinking all day on St. Patrick's day, and in the evening found his way into a forge, where he was found dead the following morning. The Jury returned a verdict that the deceased died from the effects of drink. 19-3-1830 From the Freeman's Journal. O'Connell Fund. The Rev. M. Slattery, in a letter to Mr. Dwyer, secretary, states.

A statement appeared a few days since in that journal of fabrication notoriety, the Nenagh Guardian, to the effect that the Catholic Clergyman, at a place called Two Mile Borris, had threatened that he would not baptize the children of those who would vote contrary to his wishes. One would think it scarcely necessary to contradict so palpable and absurd a falsehood, but the Catholic Clergyman so foully calumniated has come forward, and with just indignation repudiates the ridiculous aspersion. 25-7-1882 Freeman's Journal. Cashel. Today two men named Philip Brady, jnr, and Michael Brady, of Ballinure, near Cashel, were brought before Mr. Darby Scally, J.P. Silverfort, charged, on sworn information, with having mowed a large quantity of potato stalks, the property of J. Kendrick, Ballinure, on the 22nd inst, at Ballinure, also with sending Kendrick a threatening letter calling him a land grabber, etc. They were committed for trial. Kendrick is residing on a farm that was surrendered to the Landlord. Roscrea. At the petty sessions today, a shopkeeper named John Maher was brought up under the Prevention of Crimes Act, charged with being on the streets at unreasonable hours on the night of Wednesday last. The circumstances of his arrest have already appeared in an earlier edition of the Freeman. The chairman, Mr. Vaughan, stated that he had a letter from Captain Slacke, the newly appointed special resident magistrate, to the effect that he had to attend elsewhere that day, and as a consequence Mr. Maher should be released. The announcement was greeted with cheers, whereupon Mr. Vaughan added that Captain Slacke had stated to him that is was fortunate for Mr. Maher that the case did not go on. 19-12-1862 Freeman's Journal. Thurles, Dec. 18th. A young man, a farmer, named John Ryan, was killed at a hurling match on Sunday at Two-Mile-Borris. It appears that a scramble for the ball in a ditch took place between John Ryan and Edmund Hackett, when the latter struck Ryan on the head, fracturing his skull, and knocking him down, when down he received another blow, causing another fracture, the effects of which he died in a few hours. An inquest was held on the deceased and a verdict returned that he died from wounds to the head given to him by Edmund Hackett, and another John Ryan. Hackett was arrested in Queenstown, while trying to make his escape to America. John Ryan (2nd) has absconded. A serious outrage took place near Borrisoleigh on Monday evening. It appears that a farmer named William Benson and his son Martin were attacked on the road by three men, named Leahy, Ryan , and Kelly, Dromgoole, who inflicted serious injuries with stones on the heads of Benson and his son. The former's life is pronounced in danger by a medical man. In a short time after the occurrence two of the attacking party were arrested by police and committed to the Templemore Bridewell. The Kelly's having purchased a farm to which the Benson's were in treaty, is supposed to be the cause of this attack, a very bad feeling existing between them.
