• Notes

  Tipperary Free Press. 9th March, 1878 On Sunday evening last Sir Leopold Cust died of a combination of diseases, and, strange to say, immediately after his death became known, the Tipperary Brass Band turned out and paraded the streets, playing airs of rejoiceful character. The hills around blazed with bonfires, and there was quite a demonstration of an extraordinary character because of the event. It is understood that the deceased was very unpopular in the capacity of agent to A.H. Smith-Barry, esq., which was the cause of this demonstration. The Tipperary Board of Guardians, today, refused to adjourn, as proposed by Captain G.M. Dawson, D.L. Very severe comments were made on the deceased gentleman's character as a land agent.
