24-5-1921 In a fight between Crown Forces and armed civilians at Upperchurch, Thurles, Co. Tipp. The rebel leader, a young man named Gleeson, was killed, and two wounded men were arrested. The Crown Forces are reported to have lost two members. 7-11-1839 County Tipperary. The village of Portroe was the scene of a wanton and brutal assault on the Police stationed there. A crowd of people having assembled on the evening of Sunday week, they commenced quarrelling. Constable Lalor and two policemen named Foley and Looney, came up, and ordered them to disperse, upon which the police were knocked down with stones. Lalor was wounded so severely that his life is in danger. Foley was also hurt, not to as great a extent as Lalor, who we fear will fall a sacrifice to the recklessness of life in Tipperary. On Sunday night three men who were drinking together in a public house in the neighbourhood of Mealiffe, three miles from Thurles; and although they had no quarrel, when on the way home two of them (Brothers) named Taylor, attacked the third named Fleming. The assaulted him with stones and a spade, and left him on the road insensible. When discovered, the unfortunate man said he did not know why they beat him, unless it was that he was not a Ribandman. On Sat. night, a man named Cusack, who was engaged at work in a yard at Bird-Hill, having had, a few days previously, some words of a trifling nature with another person, of the name of Keogh, was assaulted by the latter on coming into the yard, who took up a pitchfork and inflicted a deep wound with it on Cusack's head. Keogh then fled. Mary
