Nenagh Guardian 8-4-1842 An inquest has been held on a murdered man, and a verdict of wilful murder against a person or persons yet unknown. The substance of the evidence given at the inquest was to the effect that Patrick Ryan, the deceased, some 12 months ago took an extensive mountain farm at Cummerhunt, about 15 miles from Newport, on the way leading from Anflesea Road to Holyford, and on which he was murdered. He purchased the interest of the land from a farmer named Caplice; but, it seems there were two brothers under tenants on this farm, by the name of Wade, who were very much disatisfied at the change of landlords, and between whom and Ryan no very amicable feeling existed. On the forenoon of the day of the horrible murder it seems that one of the Wades asked Ryan's son, a boy some 16 years old, if his father would go home to the Cappawhite farm(Where his wife and family resided), to which the youngster in answer said that he would. The Wades then started fencing in the vicinity of the Ryan farm house which was not distant from their own. About 3 O'Clock Ryan left for his home on the Cappawhite farm, when he was waylaid and murdered at the place and in the manner already mentioned. The boy states that about the time his father left the farm house , the Wades left off fencing and went he cannot tell where, and that he did not see them afterwards until he heard of his father being murdered. The Police arrested the two Wades on the night after the murder; one of them having failed in his attempt to force an outlet through the thatch of the house, made a desperate resistance. Mary
