Nenagh Guardian 27-5-1842 On Monday last Mr. Carroll, coroner, held an inquisition upon view of the body of Rody Kennedy of Loughane, who was found murdered in a field contiguous to his own house, on Sunday the 22nd. Inst. The cause assigned for this murder is not known, but it has not arisen from the taking of land, which is well known to be the fruitful source from whence have sprung those fearful crimes of which it has been the unpleasant duty of this journal to be the chronicler. The deceased was a man of excellent character, and was much esteemed and respected by his neighbour, as was evidenced by the peasantry assembling from various parts of Cloughjordan, to pay a last tribute to his memory. He was a widower, and has left 5 young and helpless children, living monuments of a peasantry's barbarism. The jury found the following verdict-"That the deceased came by his death in consequence of wounds inflicted by some person or persons unknown". We understand that seven persons have been arrested as being implicated in the commission of this murder. In the list of proscribed persons who have been served with Rockite notices is the caretaker on the lands of Kilboy, the property of Lord Dunalley. Mary
