    3. 28-11-1856 From the Clonmel Chronicle. James Brian, who is charged with the homicide of John Fitzgerald, at Emly, on the 24th August last, was lodged by a strong escort of police, in Tipperary Bridewell on Tuesday. He escaped the vigilance of the police for the last three months, but was ultimately apprehended on Saturday night last at Ballylanders, in the County Limerick. On Saturday night last, the 22nd inst, as Mrs O'Gorman, of Kilmoyler, was on her way home from Clonmel, she was met within a mile of Caher by a party of three to four men, who attempted to stop the car upon which she was travelling. Her servant boy whipped on the horse at a smart gallop, and soon left the party at the rear, on which one of them, who was armed with a gun, immediately fired a shot after the car, but fortunately without doing any injury. On Thursday evening last, the Post Office at Bansha was entered through the window, the shutter of which had been removed by force, and some panes of glass broken. The party, on effecting an entrance, robbed the office of a several American and other letters, together with a quantity of leather and other shop goods, the property of the Post Master John Sheill. Four parties were arrested on suspicion of having committed the robbery, and one of them having turned approver, they were committed for trial at the next Quarter Sessions, to be held at Cashel.
