Limerick Chronicle 9th July 1825.
A man named James Conway was murdered within a few miles of Listowel, on Monday, for simply driving his cow into a field where a bull was at pasture; the owners perceiving he wanted to have the benefit of the animal, without their permission, set upon him and beat him so unmercifully that death was the immediate consequence. Two of the assailants, William Doolan and Michael Doolan, were committed to Tralee Gaol the next day, for murder.
RELATIONS: FORD /Flynn. Looking for any information concerning my ggggrandparents, Michael Ford and Margaret Flynn. Margaret was the daughter of Martin Flynn, born between 1808 and 1818.
