    3. These from The Dublin University Magazine: Recorded in the Gazette: Nov. 13, 1837 - On the evening of the 26th (October) the fair day of Golden, in the county of Tipperary, James CURRY, an inhabitant of that village, was violently assulted near his dwelling, by two men, from the effects of which he died on the 8th, in the infirmary of Cashel Nov. 6th -Sub-Constable Eugene SHEA was knocked down in the streets of Mullinahone, in the county of Tipperary, and his skull was fractured, on the night of the 22nd (October), by a man with a stone, from the effects of which Shea, after lingering, has since died - Dublin Gazette. Also here a long report of the murder of Denis MURPHY on the lands of Foxfort, near Bansha, as reported by the Tipperary Constitution: http://books.google.ie/books?id=44U32KAK1LcC&pg=RA1-PA759&dq=Tipperary&lr=&as_brr=1 Nov 12 - On Sunday night, another armed party came to the house of a respectable farmer named HONAN of Ballyhurst, within two miles of Tipperary (Town), and beat the inmates in a most savage manner. The family consisted of the father, and six or seven sons, so that the attacking party must have been tolerably numerous. The old man has since died from the effects of the injuries he received. On Tuesday night, the 14th instant, John MANNIX, of Kerryman, was brutally murdered on the lands of Ballykisteen, near Tipperary. He was a man who sold cows on time, and was, when murdered, going through the county collecting debts due to him for cows sold last year.

At least 100 men, in frieze, and many of them ragged, were standing about. "Is it market-day here?" I somewhat thoughtlessly asked the landlady, as we were changing horses. "Oh no", she answered, "the streets are generally as full at this time; they are men who can get nothing to do." Is this not enough to account for all the turbulence for which Tipperary is famous? Landlords in Ireland are naturally unwilling to believe the unpleasant truth, that the country is disturbed because the laborers are in misery, and I have heard some allege the case of Tipperary in proof of this.... In the parish of Tipperary there are above 600 laborers, and not more than 200 have constant employment. The food of those who get work is potatoes, to which they sometimes add sour milk in the summer, and a herring in the winter. When out of work they live in misery, beg and perhaps steal.
