    3. Tipperary Constitution 24-1-1839 County Tipperary. Barbarous Murder-A man named Humphries was returning from the Chapel of Moreough?, near Newport, on last Sunday, he was attacked by three men, two named Ryan and one named Mahony, who beat him until he presented a shocking spectacle, however he lingered until Wed. evening, and thus has the hand of the ruthless assasain at once deprived a fellow creature of his life, and rendered destitute a wife and three helpless children, to live as monuments of their unlimited and sanguinary system of destroying human life. This is one of the many murders originating in agrarian differences, and which disgrace our country. Murder-An unfortunate young man named Salmons, whose skull was fractured by a blow of a stone on Sunday last, near Roscrea, is no more, he died early on Tuesday morning, thus adding another victim to the black catalogue of crime in this county. Last Friday evening as a man named Whelan was on his way home from Roscrea, he had scarcely reached the suburbs, when he was attacked and knocked down by two fellows, who robbed him of 30s worth of apparel, which he had just purchased. Owing to the active exerions of Mr. Morgan, chief constable, one of the robbers has been apprehended. On Sunday last (the day before the opening of the commission) a party of armed men went to the house of Mr. Gilbert, near Cashel, supposing that gentleman to be at Clonmel. Fortunately, however, he was at home, and gave the party a warm reception, at which they quickly made off. Their object was robbery of arms. Mary
