Convict Notes
William Cashman, a shoemaker, is committed to Cork gaol, for the murder of his wife, whom he killed in a fit of passion, because the ill fated victim had not his dinner ready. Limerick Chronicle, 29 Oct 1828. William Cashman WAS indicted for the murder of Mary Cashman, his wife, on the 21st of October last. Mary Murphy examined——The prisoner and his wife lodged for five months at my house. She is now dead. She died at eleven o'clock on the night of the 21st of October. The prisoner gave her 6d to go out and buy some articles. She only laid out 2d in these, and he asked her what became of the rest ? She said she laid it out in her own way. I suppose it was drink. He got in a passion, and struck her with his fist on the head and on the ..., fell and feinted, He assisted in putting her on the bed. He seemed very sorry. When he went to bed he pressed her to his bosom, said she was cold and he wished to warm her. She was not then dead ; she died shortly after. Dr. Sharp deposed that he examined that he examined the woman, and that he did not think she blows were the immediate cause of her death. Her death proceeded from the rupture of a blond-vessel in the cavity of the abdomen, probably caused by a fall from the blows. Verdict—Manslaughter. Morning Herald, 13 April 1829.
