TIPPERARY FREE PRESS - CO. TIPPERARY, IRELAND - 1842

1842

April 27th 1842.

Owing to the very alarming state of the northern part of
County Tipperary, as evidenced by the numerous outrages
perperated within the last fortnight, a meeting of
magistrates took place on Saturday last when a memorial,
strongly worded was forwarded to the Executive, praying,
that prompt measures would be taken to afford protection
for the lives and properties of the peaceable and
well-disposed inhabitants of the distrubed districts.
Five additional policeman have been despatched to
Moneygall, the scene of a recent murder, or it is to be
feared murders, as it is currently reported in town
today that Mrs Margaret Curry, the companion of the
ill-fated Mr. Roberts, had expired of the wounds she had
received on the evening the former met his untimely end.
Up to the present there has been no clue of the
assasins, and from the combination there exists there
appears to be little probability that the Government
reward will have the desired effect of leading to
detection.
