16-3-1872 A few days ago it was reported that a farmer named Hayes, when returning from a fair at Thurles last week, had been attacked and brutally murdered, his horse and cart being found unattended on the road, the harness and a coat being smeared with blood. It has since turned out there was no murder or assault. It appears that Hayes went home by rail, and employed a man to drive his cart to Cappawhite:-This man got drunk, and falling out of the cart, cut his head badly, and after being helped up, drove off furiously and again fell out by the roadside, where he was found by police, the horse having taken the cart on some distance alone. 27-4-1850. Agrarian Murder in Tipperary. At about 9 o'clock on the night of Tuesday last, a farmer named Shearman, who resided near New Birmingham, was waylaid on the road nearly midway between that village and shot dead on the spot. Although the scene of the tragedy was a public thoroughfare, the body lay on the ground without any notice of the occurrence being conveyed to the authorities till the middle of the next day. It appeared from evidence on the inquest that Shearman had distressed some tenants for rent, and was to have appeared against them at the sessions next day. The murder was, no doubt, committed to prevent the issue of those proceedings. The murdered man was agent or receiver under the courts for the property of Mr. Cooke, at Poyntstown, on which ejectment notices had been served. 7-7-1849 Mr Denis Egan, son of Michael Egan, Esq., of Ballydonah, Donegal, near Dunkerin, County Tipperary, was shot on Sunday, the 1st, by the hand of an assassin, while going to Chapel.
