Clippings
TIPPERARY SPECIAL COMMISSION
THIS Commission, which was rendered necessary by the frequency of crime in Tipperary, has now closed. The cases tried were those of murder, assaults which might have ended in murder, and robbery of fire-arms. The Crown convicted in every case but one, namely, that of Kent, one of the persons charged with the mureder of Mr. Hall. Two of the convicts, Byrnes and Woods, are sentenced to be executed, six are to be transported, and several others are to be imprisoned, and kept at hard labour for various periods. The local papers -- Radical and Roman Catholic though they be -- praise the Attorney-General for the impartiality with which he conducted the prosecutions.
The causes of crime in Tipperary seem to be connected with politics, religion, and land. To be of different religion or politics from the majority of the people in that county, or to interfere in any way with land, though it may be to assert a just right, is sufficient to excite the murderous propensities of those who are combined to do mischief. Poverty, as was observed by the Chief Justice, is not one of the causes of crime in Tipperary. Poverty may make men reckless and lead them to the perpetration of deeds which, inother circumstances, they would regard with horror, but those who trade in crime in Tipperary have not even the excuse of poverty; their crimes are committed, not under the influence of strong excitement, but cooly and deliberately -- they are the consequences of previous plan and cold-blooded determination. Nothing but the strong arm of justice can extirpate the blood-stained conspirators of that county. Since they place so little value upon human life -- according to one of the witnesses -- as to put murder and pledge-breaking on a par -- they must be taught to respect human life by the execution of the law upon those who violate it. During the sitting of the Commission, we have not herad of many offences having been committed in Tipperary, and now that it has closed, we hope that its proceedings may have impressed the minds of the peasentry with greater respectfor the laws and a dread of the consequences of their violation.
=====================
Wm. Whitelaw, a farmer at Clancart, Glasgow, who died last Monday, subsisted for 30 years of his life without partaking of any other nutriment than milk, and grew up a strong, athletic farmer.
=====================
John Gowdie, better known by the cognemen of "The Miller," and who occupied the cottage where Burns was born for forty-one and a-half years, died on Friday last. -- He had attained his 84th year, and was a canty old carle, who saw no harm in tasting the "blessings," for he liked the "nappy" wheel. He was very fond of a joke, and when sitting over "a guid fu' bicker" delighted to talk of Burns and bygone days, and as the story and joke went round, he would rub his auld head o'er and o'er again, and laugh full hearty. He lay for about three weeks, and was sensible to the last. For some time before he died, he could not look at or taste "John Barleycorn," once his dearest friend. -- He has left a widow and family, who are likely to keep "Burns' Cottage" open for strangers, as the lease of the property has fifteen years to run; but there will be a great want -- there will be no more stories of Burns by "The Miller," who was well known and loved for his facetious disposition by those who were personally acquainted with him, and also by the many visitors to the cottage both far and near.
=====================
TERMINATION OF THE SPECIAL COMMISSION AT TIPPERARY. -- The six individuals sentenced to transportation were sent off at 5 o'clock on Monday morning for Kingstown, where they will be transferred to the convict ship, which has been waiting their arrival.
