Lied Liver Lt. on, in proposing the health of Lord Ward
took the op,:ortunity of speaking on the suhjeet orients and
tenets. At the last anniversary meeting or this society he
had advocated the grr.nting of long leans, sod the lemetien
of compensation chaos ter neexhausted improvements. It:-
deed he had said that, whether with sr without leases, the
principle o: coup .nistin should be adopted. In his own en-
deav,ter, l ten nor, to carry out the principle of leases which he
had adv. curd, it appeared there was a great kapetfection in
the law, which rendes, d it intpcuible for that principle to i
be eureeeivedly adopted. At present, whatever striegenn
a lass might have upon the landlord who granted, it ,ould
give so power to hint to bind his successor. This difllenLy
had given rise to the introduction of a bill lobo parliament by
Mr. Posey, last reeron,ri enable landlords to put owl
clauses in their leases. That bill had not paean the sla-
ture nor did he think k would. Subjrct. however, tithe
cutting imperfection of the law, he had found no difficulty

the comaiderstion of it ups all thodowners. But *nether

TATID IX ORION CROPS AND TNI USUAL POUR COURIS
STSTRIS:

The objeet of this speedos of cultivatims is to furnialt a
large store of manure. With that view the product, it to be
ocosumed by cattle in stalk during the whole year. The 20
au as are papered to be divided into Italian rye grass
I sad clover to summer feeding, and roots, seek as mos,'
warred, Swedish turnip, primps or carrots fur winter. The
lend muse be well cleansed and forked over to the depth of
12 or 111 lathes, provided good soil is to be found at such
depths. It should be well nurtured fur !TM crop, and a
dressing of liquid manure be applied after every cutting of
the green food. Ten acres of Italia& rye grate and clover, so
managed, would keep from three to four animals, from May
to October, got aan, espesially if it, or a portion of it, were
cut and mixed with straw. Ten acres of roots ccest to pro.
due. from 26 to 33 tote of mate, with throe or four toes of
tope. 100Ibe. of volts per day, with bib or 6.b. of Glover bay
and an equal quantity of straw cut, would be a good supply
for a cow la mi:k. Cows and oxen hiding would consume
an equal quantity with slb. or filb. of Suer or oil cake. I
should la this. premises be justified in assuming the 20 acres
so managed would keep 30 animals in the stalls, summer and
winter, provided the dry food were supplied from another
soiree. I wll, however, aroma 26 as the average. Of

It would thus appear that about 2001. would be the return
ohm this system withoot reckoning the manure • bat, having
assessed the appropriatiou of 20 acres of the farm to this
Thies of =Westin, I most deduct the value of produce
arising therefrom under the old system. This I shall arum*
at 8.31., after deducting expenses. This leaves me 1201. as
to. extra profit. I ban not taken rents, tithes, and tales
ir.to account, as they would be the same under either ma-
negement. The next point for consideration is the manure
thereby produced. A cow well fed and kept up all the year
is found to produce about nine tons of solid sad four tons of
liquid manure. Mr. Hurtable reckons this to be of the
vane of 81, as compared with guano. His estimate, how-
ever, is hooded on the manure of a cow in milk. Those
enumerated as feeding would yield a larger return. I will,
however, mums it at 81. per head for the whole. Supposing
the mauve of 12 sows necessary to keep the cow garde., as
I shall venture to call it, ia • high state of cultivation there
would remain 13 applicable for the rest of the farm, List is,
1041. the value on 180 tons of pure animal maniac. I feel
=evinced every farmer will admit that such an arida= of
manure of a very high order would reader a moderate-sized
fans suceptible of much largo produce than can now be
obtained, sad =alike him to compete advantageously even
aids adverse times."

(Mr. Foley's health, in connexion with the tout proposed
by Mr. Whitmore, was than drunk with intuit enthusiasm.)
Mr. FULIY, in reply to the tout, said 7 One of the things
to which I attach the greatest importance at there meetings
is t 3 have a good show of sinful implements, beerauer, bring
so immediately sonneoted as we are here with the manufae-
tiling districts, many of those who attend have a good know-
ledge of eneekarice, which, if Imparted, gives most useful
.rehnueden to the landowner, the tenant, and the hbourer.
I regret to say that I do not think that as great progress has
been tauten the use of newly invent' d implements as ought
to have been, and particularly in thou relating to draught.
I do oonsid r that we are very far behind the rest of the
world in this respect. I believe it cannot be &naiad that
two horses abreast draw with much greater power than when
placed before each other; that all our work ought
to hi done with two-horse ploughs, one-hone carts, and
two hone waggons. Cern and waggons of a very superior
discription, easy in draught and light in weight, are
manufactured at Beverley, in which you may Garry a ton and
a halt with one horse, and three tons with two. Now I want
to see three earn and waggons Introduced into our
neighbourhood. I have heard that they will net do for hilly
er bad rnde ; my belief is that they can be used where any
others an; they are made better and cheaper than any
other,, and I would strongly recommend that such pr'nes as
these be girth to &serving tenants instead of Filen eur ;
for ao lug as you waste half your horse power, you gm
your foreign competitor an unnecessary advantage over you.
I am aware of the difficulty of persuading your labounn to
make nee of any new implement at Met. I bought four of
these Guts same years sines ; for the first viz weeks I fre•
gauntly found my carter using them with two hones; he
could not my that it was necessary, but he told me that he
dit it to keep the other hone esinpany.
Other tows having followed, the meeting separated.

DAY or iltilliLlATlON.—Yesterday Mae observed
as a day of Sarin and humiliation in Stepney, Limehouse,
and in the district of Chriot-chareh, Maryleb me. The
shops and various places of business were nearly all closed,
and divine series was peefeessed in the uffersot churches

IMPROPER USE OP " OODPRET'S CORDIAL."—
Mr. Hefted, coroner, held an inquest, on Monday last, on
the body of a child six weeks Orison of Charlet Hutehineon,
a eolith printer, living in Brown's yard, Manchester. Frcm
the evidence of the mother it appeared that on Friday and
Saturdev last the child appeared restless and unwell. In the
coarse of the day the mother :gave it some magnesia, and
subsequently a small quantity of gin and water. Aleut
eight o'clock in the evening she obtained a pennyworth of
" Godfrey's cordial," and gave about hall a spoonful to the
child, who subsequently se. mod more easy and eetaurtable.
About three o'clock on Sundarktorning, however, it be-
came restless, and almost immediately afterwards died in
its mothies arts. Mr. Dyson, sumeon,who had mode apes!
morlens examination of the body of the deceased, de-
scribed the appearances it presented intersally. He
believed that moot probably the child bad been
convulsed before death ; them was considerable con-
gestion of the brain, but whether this arose from
en over-dose of the medicine produced, from the child
befog overlain in bed, or fr-m natural causes, he could not
say. The medicine called "Godfrey's cordial" was a very
dangerous one to administer to latent.; as the dose given in
the present instance must have contained at least two drops
of lindinuna. Ho had inquired at the druggist's and found
that the medicine was sold, as had been stated by the mother
of the deceased, wilt rut any label being put upon the Tamed
in which it was contained ; the reason given for this course
was, that various kiwis of vessel{, cape, &a, were brought
for the " cordial," and that, if used, most of. the people who
bought the medicine would be usable to read the label.—
The Jury returned a verdict to the effect that the deceased
had died of eouvultioas, bat that there was no ',idease to
show how they were caused. The jury also expressed an
opinion that the indiseriminate sale by draggiets of mixtures
containing considerable quantities of opium, without labels,
or proper dined ass being given, was a dangerous pra2tice,
and ought if possible to be prevented.
A COINER'S CORRESPONDENCE.—On Thursday last
John Hammett, whose real name is supposed to be William
Jonathan Emmett Broadripp, was charged with haring that
day In his possession at Yorbmouth, fifteen counterfeit
crown pieces. Ia the morolog, Suter, belonging to Nance'a

DUBLIN, Oct. 3.
In all directions the landlords are reducing their
rents. In last night's .Eirenireg Prot the land quer
Lion is handled at great length, and its remarks are
fall of interest, and illastrate the state of things in the
rural districts.

Lord Stanley and his lady remained for two days
on a visit ti tee Lord-Lientenant, at the Viceregal-
lodge. Lord Stanley visited the National Schools on
Monday, and remained a considerable time in them,
and expressed hie pleasure at ilia results of the exa-
miration made by him. This visit and approbation
are of importance, after the passers in Lord Clon-
curry's book, which accuse Lord Stanley of opposition
to the schuss of national education. _

The name of Mr. Berjeent Murphy has in some
quarters been mentioned, along wilt Mr. Alexander
McCarthy, u a candidate for the representation of
the city of Cork. On questions of general reform,
Mr. Serjeant Murphy goes as far as Mr. McCarthy, as
the learned *element spoke in favour of the ballot, and
voted for the extension of the suffrage and other
popular measurer, the chief differenca between the
politics of both gentlemen being the apeclnative ques-
tion of repeal of the union.

ANNUAL SHOW AND DINNER OF THE
BALLINASLOR AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.

On Saturday, Sept. 29, the annual exhibition of
this society was held on the Fair-green. It wu a wretchedly
poor one. There was not mare than a score cf animals,
which, with the exesption of bulls, were undeserving of
notice. There were some good specimens of poultry. The
display of farm produce was pretty good. Turnip., man-
golds. parsnips, carrots. rape, &a, and potatoes, were
exhibited in great perfection ; a positive proof of the advan-
tages arising from the increased knowledge afforded by
agricultural societies is promoting a batter system of cultiva-
tion, Friezes sad linens were also shown, but there did not
appear to be mach emulation in the production of *me
uncles; however, the specimens were excellent. The exhi-
bition was in every respect a falling off front former yews.
Few abatements have been made by the landlceds, and the
wretched fanner, endeavouring to meet high rents end
weimutive taxation, bad neither inclination nor time for
ezperiment or bigh culture. The digging match, the first
of its kind in this neighbourhood, which setwoqueady was
held, infused a new spirit amongst Moos who esteem prac-
tical agriculture as one of the new lights. The field selected
was near the Fair green. A considerable number of form
labourers took part in the contest, The field selected was a
heavy stubble; the quantity of ground fcr each labourer me
English perch, to be dug to the depth of 12 inches. Nothing
could exceed the emulation evinced by the competitors,
every one of whom manfully set to work in right earnest,
sad each did " his best" an the race for pre-eminence. Etch
man used his own spade, which was handled with each
dexterity that it was plain every ram could use his own
weapon best. The digging of the first perch took little mere
than twenty minutes in its completion, but the greater
portion of the competitors took hall an hour to achieve
the task.

Lord Clenearty, Mr. Kelly, of Cut!. Kelly; Sir Ross
Matte, and some very few otters, were on the ground, and
seemed' greatly pleased with the contest of amide v. Ithaca.
A few picked men may do good by showing what may be
done ; bet, if digging is a better mode of working the land,
in place of an annual pastime, we would rather me the pro-
cess in active operation on the estates of those who have
poor to employ, and properties able to pay the added expense
of digging over ploughed labour.
The dinner of the society was held in the evening, at
Gill's Hotel ; Lord Ciancarty presided. It was served 13 a
very creditable style—too good to pay the proprietor at 3s.
per head ; in fact be!must have been a lour, as only 80 were
present. the larger proportion being tenants of Lords Clan-
earty and Cloabrock. Mugs. D. H. Kelley, Castle Kelly ;
Thomas Seymour, Ballymore ,• 8. J. Donelan, Killagb ; G.
Fitzgerald, &M. ; Rev. Mr. Browne, Abesceagt ; Captain
Bell, deo., were present.
Dinner being concluded, Lord CLANCARTY mu and pro-
" The Queen." His lordship highly eulogised her
Cl:fly as a queen, but her highest qualificstions, said
lordship, were her perfecdons as a woman, ezemp:ifled in
every act of her life.
The tout wu drunk with enthuidum
_ _

"The Lord Lieutenant and Pruperity to Ireland," was
next given, and heartily rea?onded to.
His lordship announced the next tout as the charter toast
of the evening, " Success to the Iddlinesloe Union Agricul-
tural Society." He said there could be no doubt the pros-
perity of the country msinly deperded on the prosperity of
agriculture ; and, although circumstances of late strongly
tended to depress the energies of the farmer, • disposition
existed in this union manfully to struggle against the tide,
and bring to active exertion all the energies they mid
summon. He mentioned that the sole ha: between landlord
and tenant in this country was the want of an improving
spirit on the part of the tenantry. His lordship enmmented
on the new change which had lately come over Lord
Brougham—that of turning his attention to agricultural
science. His lordship said that Lord Brougham's tabula
were more forensic than agricultural, and his knowledge of
agrieudure would not entitle him to the appointment of
agricultural to their union. He aftetearev alluded to Mr.
Pouletr Sex pa's report en Ireland after his tour, in which
he instanced and detected some daring statements regarding
the the returns of bog culture, totally at variance with what
any, and the ei-nplesr, Irieh agriculturist knew could be oh
tained. After alluding to the slight support the society re-
ceived, he sat down amidst loud applanee.
The judges' reports were then read, when
Mr. BOYD, as out of the successful candidates, nt:drerstd
the meetlng.
Dotendrir next proposed "The Royal Agricul.
to Society of Ireland."
Mr. SEYMOUR returned thanks.

Mr. D. H. KELLY proposed " &mess to the Trish Farmer."
In the course of his observations he said that tree trade had
not been sufficiently tested to enable the farm, r to judge of
he ultimate effects. Irish energy and skill should be worked
to ttsir utmost, and when they were ho did net fear tree
trade.

Beverol other speeches were made, after which the meet.
log separated.

THE TRUCK SlBTEM.—During the lest few week.
considerable interest has bean felt as to the ilftla of three in-
formations laid against gin-lock manufacturers, fur payi g
their workmen a portion of their earnings in goods instead
of money, in contravention of the provisions of what is ge-
nerally known as the " Truck Act." They were to have
been brought before Mr. Leigh, the stipendiary magistrate,
at Meow, upwards of a fortnight ago, but the hearing el
them was postponed, in consequent* of its baring been sated
that the witnewes kr the prosecution had been drugged and
kidnapped, for the purpose of defeatiug the ends of justice.
Oa Tuesday last, however, the charges were entered into be-
fore the sap, ndiery magistrate, at Darlaston, when Mr. G.
Edmond', of Birmingham, appeared for the enervation, and
Mr. BAton for the defence. The case against Mra. Margery
Bidding, of Darlaston green, was Brat taken. Mr. Menaces
detailed the facts of the ease. The statute under which the
charge was pi...fund was undoubtenly one which interfered
to a put extent with the freedom of trade, but, whatever
opinion might he held as to the general plineiple, he thought
be rhoald be able to show that the case before the bench was
one of great hardship and operation. Samuel Weed, the
witness he was about to call, bad been in the empilment of
Mrs. Ridding for fourteen or Mein year., and had, during
all that time, been reusing goads instead of money in pay-
ment of his tragic Besides the fact of the goods thus re-
ceived being a ineticor, both fa respect to weight and qua-
My not what they ought to be, there was thin Improper Sta-
ture, that Mn. Ridding saver gate the "knew or the person
whom he sent for the goods any account of what she sold
them, but oily marked them down in a book kept by herself.
It might be said, why do parties continue to take goods, in-
stead of money, which they have a right to demand t The
Got WWI that almost the whole of the masters in the perish
of Darlaston were truck desists, and therefore the only
alternative was to submit to the sy quo, or el's lesrerthe
district. Mr. Elmoode then called the winked, Wood, who
deposed to the fact that he went to Mr.. Ridding's atrp on
the 21st el August to ask for work, when she gave him an
order for some locks. He received some bean, batter, and
other snide., amounting in all, as he was told to es.
and upon going on Saturday night to receive payment for th-
mirk he had done, this suns was stepped out of his wag. s
The bench, without any remark, impoeed a penalty of 51.
and eons, amounting in all to U. 12.. 64.—The two other
isformattour,whieh were against Joseph en t Omega Gotekt r,
were adjourned for a fortnight, by private arrangement, but
it is said no further steps will be taken in respect te them, a
sort of compromin having been entered into between the
parties. A person named George White lald the inferential,
at the instant*, it is stated, of the society mentioned in the
course of the proceedro,,s.—Troluribsseptme Chronicle.
AN EMPLOYER AND ran WOIEMEN.—A corre-
spondent says :—" On Monday led Mr. Andrews, a coach-
maker, at Southampton, gave hllh annual banquet to his
workmen, 150 in number. Among those present to tritons
and partake of this feast were' Lori George Lennox, the
Hon. Mr Dutton, sea of keirl" Sherborn ; Captain Towns-
end, Y.P. ; Charge Thompson, Esq., M.P. ; A. O. Cut k-
hans, Esq., M P. ; D. Wifootke, ; H. Bmot;
Eaq., late M.P. for Andover; Clptaiu Mingles, the Hon. T.
Herten, late Chief Latin of Newfoundland, and several
clergymen and diementiag minister. It was a curious and
pleasing sight to see noblemen, men d'atiogsaished at the bar
and in the Halts, end eloquent public writers and speakers,
mingling with the sons of toil, pledging their health and
ha pines in bumpers, and edvanting the claims and
nobility of labour. Twenty years ago Mr. Andr-ws was •
poor journeyman smith in Southampton, and he by now by
his industry and talents acquired a splendid fortune. lie
has caused carriage making to be a staple manufacture of
that town, and by the swatter of curious he exports every
year has helped to make the superior skill of the Envish
artisan and arrehanie famous in all parts of the world. When
Paint Albert pr-prsed to visit Wir.eheetcr a short time
since, Mr. Andrews respectfully ffered Lint the use of his
beautiful c untry resPenre near that t+-wee. His 13 .y al
Diemen was so pleated with the offer that be requested
that Mr. Andrews should be introdueed to him, and the
latter had the unusual honour of being invited by the Prints
to ri ie with him in the royal carrion his journey From

water there."

order to give the traneastien in the smallest space, I
eondrosethe evideasm . .

Catherine Thompson, en Inemesting passion girl, was
wedded some time see to • penes in her own class of life,
tamed Patrick Moore. The marriage wu not a happy
one ; the wife's prettioess had won her many admirers;
and the result was chat a coeval separation took place ; the
husband went to live with a relative of his clawed Brennan,
while the wife remained with her mother at Tulle, in the
Balliekomkr district. Moore left for America, but, on
reaching Liverpool, he could not divest himself sufficiently
*this fretless for hone to peanute his voyage, so he re-
turned. Oa Sanday, the 2nd of September Catherine
Moore sent a young woman named Jolla King over to
Brennan's to her husband with a message, the substance
ot which wee that she wished to see him on that evening.
He came punctual to the assignation. Between ten and
eleven o'clock ea that night he wu seen by two men
leaniog against a ditch at the back of his mother-in•law's
house, in company with his wife. After this night he
was not seen or heard of in the neighbourhood. He did
not return to Brennan's; but a rumour was act afloat that
he bad kft fur America ; and the following Sunday Mrs.
Moore left Tells for the (*tensible purpose of joining him
in Liverpool, in order that they might proceed together to
New York. After she left, vague reports were circulated
through the village, and people surmised strange things, and
asked why the wife did not accompany her husband. These
indications of the feeling' of the people of the neighbour-
hood having reached U. B. %Verbenas, the sub-inspector,
at Balliekmnyler, that gentleman immediately made par-
ticular Inquiry into the matter, and had the several coal-pits
in the district dragged, but without any successful result.
While he was thus engaged, a letter reached Goat a brother
of Mrs. Moors's, who resided at Dundalk. It purported that
the writer bad seen his sister and her husband off from Dub
lin on their way to America • that they were in good health,
end seemed perfectly reconciled to each other. This removed
any lingering suspicion which remained on the mind of the
intelligent nub-inspector. Thus matters remained until word
wu brought him on Wednesday evening that the body of •
man or eemething like it was seen in a hale in the Centre of
the lonely bog of licesmore; and that dogs had been devour-
ing portions of it. He forthwith proceeded to the place
pointed out, on Wednesday night ; and in the middle of the
lonely and wild bog of Rossmore, with the tempest howling
fearfully anemia him, he perceived by the duel glimpses of the
moon, a mangled arm protruding from the depths of the bog-
hole, as ifoutetrutehed to heaven imploring vengeance. A
stick being procured, the body was stirred, when a mist
revolting spectacle presented itself. A human head started
oat of the water : the nose and one of the cheeks had been
cut off, rho eyes were gone, and the fate otherwise fearfully
mutilated. Oa examination the limbs were found to be very
much mangled, and the body in a state of putrescence and
decomposition.
To remove these hideous romaine of mortality was a matter
impracticable at that hour cf the night, with the assistance
Mr. Warburton had ; so he left his companion to keep
watch while he drove off to Tells, which was s_ven miles die.
rant, it having struck him that the mutilated body in the
bog must have been that of the missing Patrick. Moore.
When he reached Moon's mether-in-lsw's house he made
fresh inquiry as to when Mrs. Moore and her husband were;
the cenfesion and prevarication that ensued confirmed him
in his idea of there being foul play. He then secured the
attendance of • perm who knew Patrick Moore, and could
identify the body if it was his. On returning to Roamers
bog with this man and a reinforcement of police, they r.ised
the body out of the hose ; while doing so it fell into piece-
meal, end the loathsome members had to be placed in beige.
The remains were immediately i.lentifled. On being re
moved towards Tulle, it was met by a procession of colliers,
' who placed the fragments of the body in a coffin, and bore it
, onward with marks of deep sorrow for their murdered com-
rade. -

I omitted to menthes that in the morning the sub-inspec-
tor had placed the mother-in-law, brother-in-law, and si-ter.
in law of the deceased man under arrest. A jury havieg
been esliec'eel, the body was viewed by them, and after a
minute examination by Dr. Samuel Edge, it was consigned
to mother earth.

Tne assistance of the coroner, Thomas Budda, Esq., could
not be procured until to-day (*lntend', ), his duties in Mount-
media and elsewhere having precluded his attends-ice at
Tolcrton so net. Tito jury having been swore held the in-
quest at Grays's public-house. Several witnetses were ex-
stained, and from them were elicited the facts jest stated.
The mos, remarkable part of this dark tragedy remains t be
told. Never ware the mysteridua ways of Providence m-de
more manifest in bringing rettibution home to the heartless
murderer than in this ea's,. Oa the morning of the inquest
who ehoul I return home from Liverpool, bat Catherine
Moore ; she had come home with • phi ul tale of how
h. r unnotural and brutal husband hai. deserted her
on the quay of Liverpool, leaving her a lonely and unto,.
innate woman to beg her way home. Her astonishment, her
horror, on bearing of the diecaury of the mutilated remains
of her husband, operated so strongly on her feelings, that
she confessed her guilt, and all the appalling circumetances
connected with it. It seems Moore's braids were beaten
out on the night he was last seen with his wife ; and that on
the nee: day the wreteted woman and her mother dislocated
the limbs, sou that they fitted on an ass's cu ; being conceal.
ed by straw, they then prcceened to Rossmore bog, which was
seven miles distant, and in the loneliest part of that lonely
t lees they flung their gore-clotted harden into an unclean
hole.

The jury, after some brief deliberation, found a verdict of
wilful murder against Catherine llooreand Bridget Thump
non, mother and daughter.
Mr. Builds drew up a committal for them accordingly, and
they are to be transmitted to the county jail at Mary borough,
thee:: to await for trial unit next Spring MeV/. The prin•
eipal evidence against these wretched women will be sup-
plied by two persons connected with them by the closest ties
of consanguinity.
' In cluing this report, so Illustrative of how far truth may
he stranger even than fiction, it is bu' jastme towards the
Sue-Inspeeter, Mr. Warburton, to remark that his ezertions
in punning this horrible tragedy through all its dark details
deserve t.te highest oemmendr ion. On expressing our aston-
ishment at the coincidence ot the woman, after an asence of
oearly four weeks, returuiog to the very spot where twelve
men were holding an inquest on the putrid remains of the
man whom she had murdered, we were informed that Mr.
Warburton, not being able to discharge from his mind the
Impression ot Moore's murder, wrote to the man with whom
he had stopped during the previous trip to Liverpool, and
who had been a friend of his, to ask if he and his wife
. ad safe; and inquiring if he was aware albeit getting cif
to America, as the neighbours were anxious to hear of their
welfare. Mrs. Moore happened to be at the time an inmate
of this very lodging-house at Liverpool. The man read the
letter foe her. She espreased her uneasiness, and sell she
should return home, as something must have happened poor
Pat. She accordingly left Liverpool for Tolerton, and
reached at the very crate when her pretence was memory
for the fulfilment of the ends of justice.

COLLISION BEFWEEN THE PEOPLE AND
TUB CONSTABULARY AT BLARNEY.

A second edition of the Cork Examiner of Monday
night contains the details of a conflict .ores serious in cha-
racter than usual between the peasantry and the constabulary.
It appears that a number of tenants on the property c f Sir
Oconee Colthurst assembled on Sunday week, and cut down
a large proportion of the growing elope on the bolting of a
tenant named For,:.. This they regularly secured in sheaves
and stacks, and deposited in a hunk* adj ',Laing the scene of
operations. Sir George Colthurat immediately placed 12 or
13 keepart in this house, who remained in possession up to
Sunday last.
Abrut 10 o'elcck on Solidly mornirg, however, a large
force of men and can was seen advancing to the hoes. ; and
by the hme they had all assembled it was c.iculated there
were 200 men, armed with reaping hooka, pitchfork., &c ,
and thirty-six cars in attendance. The leaders summoned
late keepers to give up the corn "in the Queen's name ;"
and being refused, the house was at once attacked. Seine
of the party, ascending the roof, removed the slates, and the
bailiffs, finding resistance Lopelass, fled through the doors,
without much obstruction from the party outside, save a
woucd from a pitchfork received by one of them. In-
gently tae marauders commenced arena:Wring the corn
inn the house to the can, and while ihus engaged Sir
0 Cohlturst, J. P., and Mr. Haney, J. P., obtained the
assistance of the constabulary, who proceeded to the scene
of the outrage. An attempt was then made to arrest the
more imminent of the party, and to rescue the corn, but
a vigorous opposition was offered, and is the affray a bailiff
&f Sir G. Colthurst, was stvirely, it not fittally injured, his
leg being broken in three places. Finding the armed mul-
titude too strong for them, the police wcre compelled to
retire, end an express having been dispatched to the military
barrack at Ballincolling, two troops of Lancers, with 30
infantry, started for the scene of the encounter.
After a rapid march, they overtook the cavalcade of laden
care, and compelled them to halt. The peasantry, finding
such a force too strong for them, removed their horses from
the ears on their approach, and fled, leaving the corn and
cars in rimy instances behind. A cenaiderahle quantity of
the corn was scattered about the road, and several cf the
plunderers succeeded in carrying off their loads by bye roads.
Maven prisoners were arrested.
