    3. Murder Cashel Dec. 23rd. 1814 This day, at noon, Hardy, a tithe farmer was murdered at the gate of Monagee about one mile from the city. Hardy, after enforcing the payment of some tithes, left Cashel on his return to Newport, accompanied by two other procters, who had been here on similar errands. They were met by two men, supposed to be from Newport, who produced blunderbusses, ordered the two proctors to return to Cashel, and detained Hardy, the most obnoxious. They then fired three shots at Hardy, and left him for dead. A surgeon and other persons came out directly from Cashel and afforded every aid, but the proctor died within three hours. He had sufficient strength to relate the particulars, and name the murderers who were well known to him. Pursuit was made, but, for the moment they have escaped. Mary
