About Patrick Clarke
His houses were: a Dublin house first of all in Kildare Street and later in Mountjoy Square West; Glass House, Barrowbank, Portarlington; South Hill, Rapla Cross near Nenagh. The purchase of the latter, a small country estate, may have had something to do with his second wife having originally lived nearby.
Patrick was murdered on 31 October 1845 at South Hill by a disgruntled ex-employee for no valid reason, as he was a good man and a just employer. He was shot and bayoneted on the road near his park gate by three men. The alarm was given by the arrival of his riderless pony. Two of the murderers were caught and hanged but the third, Mick Hawkins, escaped to America. It is said that he was overheard through the wall of a hotel bedroom pacing his room and muttering ‘Ah, Mr Paddy, will ye never let me be?
