April 9th 1838 From the Times Tipperary April 5th-Mr. Austin Cooper and Mr. G. Weyland were proceeding in a gig from Kilmore to the fair of Tipperary this morning. They were fired at by eight men. Mr. Cooper was shot dead, and Mr. Weyland severely wounded in the back. Mr. T. Cooper was riding behind the gig, fired at the villians, and it is hoped with effect, as blood was traced on the road. Mr. Cooper was a gentleman of the highest respectability, and beloved by his tenantry. The further particulars of this dreadful deed are not yet known. The magistrates of the neighbourhood have gone to the spot. A few days ago, Mr. Weylands house was attacked, and he was fired at several times. The first attack on Mr. Weyland was committed the day after Judge Moore left Clonmel. Mr. Cooper was one of the most extensive land agents in the county, and a gentleman of the highest disposition. County of Tipperary April 2nd 1838 It will be in the recollection of your readers, that a few years ago, several thousand persons congregrated together for the ostensible purpose of "Burying the tithes" at the Rock of Barnane, near the Devil's Bit. The chief actors in the scene were Robert White of Knocknerager, esq. a protestant gentleman, with the late Stephen Egan, of Roscrea (who supplied a splemdidly mounted coffin for the deceased) and other equally contemptible agitators. The grave being duly closed, and the cermonies concluded, the high and distinguished honour was conferred on Mr. White of being placed as sentinel on the spot as a reward for his patriotism. The duties of the sentinel had not been interfered with until this morning, when the celebrated commissioner of rebellion, Mr. P. Ryan, humanely determined on "relieving the guard". With that view, Mr. Ryan proceeded at an early hour to the burial ground, but was sorry to perceive that in the most unsoldier-like manner , White deserted his post and ran off. The commissioner gave chase in his best style, and after a short run succeeding in making his capture; and Mr. White after being marched a distance of 12 miles, now lies in gaol of this town as a prisoner, under a writ of rebellion for the years composition rent due to the rector of his parish. The fourth year's composition having come due in November last, Mr. Ryan has compounded his stock for the amount. Mr. White and his stock were brought in here together, a distance of 12 miles, without the slightest interruption, or annoyance, nor was the least degree of sympathy exhibited by the population for the trying and degraded position of the ex-sentinel. A house, the property of John. E. Grace, Esq, was maliciously consumed a few night ago, withing 100 yards of the town of Nenagh. A reward of 20s. has been offered by the Government for the apprehension and conviction of the incendiary. Mary
