There died on Sept. 7th, at the workhouse, Tipperary, an old man named Jimmy Croke from the Glen of Aherlow, aged 106 years. Jimmy was in the workhouse a little more than a year, and up to recently was in the enjoyment of excellent health and spirits. Up to a month ago the centenarian stated he was never in his life a day sick. He never wore a collar of cravat, and could on no account be got to wear either, but he "gave his chest to the breeze" as he used to say, "and his lungs had always room to blow". About three weeks ago his appetite, generally good, began to fail and weakness set in. He had "no pain or ache" he said, but "a general weakness". Day by day he grew weaker, then unconscious, and falling as if into a tranquil slumber he died. In 1798 he was 17 years of age, and he used to relate with much interest and accuracy the political incidents of that eventful time. He was full of stories of the peasantry of the Glen of Aherlow in "the old times" and would conclude every narrative by saying "But the world is now changed entirely". He was buried by his relatives in Bansha. 18-5-1844 Nenagh Guardian. It is our painful duty this day again to place on record another murder--that of a man in the humbler walks of life,--one whose general character was good, one who, by being 'a driver of cars for hire' had no opportunity of becoming obnoxious to any class of persons. He drove a car for Mr. Tierney, of Barrack-Street, an innkeeper, and, because he dared to drive a car on which were the officers of the law, to execute a warrant under a civil bill decree, he was barbarously murdered. He knew not the object for which his master's car was engaged, but it was sufficient to cause his own destruction. Let our rulers think of this, let them dwell upon the state of Tipperary, and if they do relieve the country from this awful state of disorganization, by stringent, and powerful, and efficient means:--why, then, let thuggish praise them, and murderers shout and cry, 'They are our best protectors'!!!.
