28-4-1848 Tipperary Vindicator. Reprieve---A memorial having been forwarded to the Lord Lieutenant, from the inhabitants of Clonmel praying that the sentence of death passed on John Brien (Ardy), at the last assizes, for the murder of Honora Boyle, should be commuted to transportation, the mayor received a reply by Tuesday's post, announcing that the prayer of the memorial has been granted by his Excellency, and that now the convict was to be transported for life. 29-11-1847 Tipperary Vindicator. We are pleased to see from the following communication to the Rev. Mr. Scanlan. P.P. that his Excellency in an act of justice to James Salmon, a prisoner under sentence of transportation in Nenagh Gaol, has manifested his estimate of the Catholic Priest's representations. It is peculiarly gratifying at a moment like this, when so much of malignant slander is cast, or sought to be cast, upon the pure character of our true and faithful priesthood. In the circumstances, too, of the time and place, we think the release of Salmon does great credit to the Lord Lieutenant's administration. Dublin Castle, Secretary's Office. 23rd Nov. 1847 Sir, The Lord Lieutenant having had your representations regarding James Salmon, a prisoner in Nenagh gaol, under his consideration, has directed that he be forthwith discharged. Your Obedient servant. T.N.Redington. The Rev. Scanlan, P.P. Ballygibbon, Nenagh. 6-1-1866 Clonmel Chronicle. A Fenian Proclamation.

The day is not far when the persecuted sons of Erin shall be risen from slavery to freedom, and the Green Flag of Erin shall float on the breeze, surrounded by true Irishmen. May the winds of freedom soon speed O'Mahony o'er. To hell with the Saxon tyrants.--I am yours truly, Head Centre, F.H. "God save the Green." 27-4-1869 Clonmel Chronicle. An investigation has begun with respect to threatening language alleged to have been used by a Tipperary tenant farmer, named Hennessy, towards Mr. Philip Maguire, a landlord and magistrate. From the present condition of a part of that county, the matter excited great interest. Hennessy, it was deposed, appeared at Mr. Maguire's house at an early hour in the morning, and having seen Mr. Maguire, said he had come like a man, in the daylight, and not at night, to know whether he would get the farm which a Widow Hennessey was surrendering. Mr. Maguire having stated that it was not vacant, Hennessy continued asserting a right to it, and finally when leaving, remarked threateningly that "Mary", Mr. Maguire's wife "would not save him". The defence suggested that the man was not sober at the time. Hennessey was stated to be a large farmer,. The magistrates considered the case serious, and postponed it, holding Hennessy to bail in order to communicate with the Government.
