Clonmel Advertiser 18-9-1835

Two privates of the 95th Regiment, in passing through Caher, on route to
Templemore, deserted, and sold their clothes, accoutrements, etc. two days
after they went to Cashel, where one of them was apprehended by Police
Constable Stack, the other surrendered voluntarily at the Barracks. A party
of military and police apprehended the persons who purchased their
appointments, one of whom, a comfortable farmer on the lands of
Knockgraffin, had 60 balls concealed in a hole, a short distance from his
house, and the powder carefully secreted in a box.



On Thursday night last, the town of Thurles, was one universal scene of
uproar and confusion, owing to a detachment of the 95th Regiment having
halted there for the night, on their route to Templemore, to replace the the
35th regiment, ordered to Fermoy. Pitch barrels were blazing in all
directions, and large groups of the rabble patrolled the streets, crying out
in a most boisterous manner, "Where are the 35th now". A party of the 35th,
quartered in the town, were very properly confined to barracks by the
commanding officer, to prevent a collision between them and the riotous
miscreants, who continued to disturb the peace of the town until a very late
hour, to the dread and terror of the peacable inhabitants.
