The Times-From the Tipperary Vindicator 10-4-1846. Emigration The Tipperary Vindicator truly observes,- "Within our remembrance, the tide of emigration has been seldom, if ever, so strong as at the present moment. From the ports of Cork, Waterford, Limerick, Dublin, Sligo, Galway etc. hundreds of the population are quitting their native shores, determined to trust their fortunes to the protection of Providence in other and more favoured climes. From the North Riding of Tipperary, and more particularly from the baronies of Upper and Lower Ormond, the number of emigrants is extraordinary. Nearly all of them are the more comfortable class of farmers; at least, of those who have not felt the pressure of distress. From Borrisokane and its neighbourhood hundreds have gone out, or are preparing to leave. From Ballygibbon Parish, we learn no less than 100 persons have already gone. From Derry-Castle estate we are informed that numbers of the poor cottier teanantry on that property have left by way of Limerick. The emigration returns, we are certain of, this spring will announce a far more numerous quantity of emigrants that have been returned for some years. The Vindicator, in another column, has the following account of the process of "emigration" on the compulsory system:- "One of the most melancholy exhibitions ever witnessed was presented in Limerick and Nenagh on Monday-the departure, under a strong escort of the 13th Light Dragoons, the 72d Highlanders, and a formidable body of police, of the convicts tried at the last assizes and sentenced to transportation, some for 7 years each, some for the period of their natural lives. No less than 30 convicts entered Nenagh from Limerick, some of them we believe were from Tralee and Ennis, and to this number was added those who were left under sentence in Nenagh Gaol, and who amounted to 9 or 10. All these convicts were either handcuffed, or chained one to the other, or chained down on the cars on which they were placed, with the strong guard above mentioned around them, and nothing could present a more degraded, a more wretched, or a more pitiable appearance, as they were driven off on their way to the Hulks at Dublin, where, in the course of a few days, they are to take their departure, some for life, never more to see friends, relatives or families-those in whom their affections are centered. The exhibition they made was well calculated to impart a terrible lesson to all who indulge in crime, and suffer themselves to become the victims of the spy and informer. Mary
