FATAL AGRARIAN OUTRAGE.

A correspondent of the Evening Mail, writing
from Moats, in the county of Westmeath, g►ves the
following account of a fatal affray of an agrarian
character:

An affray, in which, I regret to say, one unfortunate man
lost his life, took place in the neighbourhood of this town
on Thursday. The following particulars may be relied on
as being nearly, if not al ether, correct :—Peter Kelly,
a publican, who resides in Moate, holds au extensive farm
from W. H. Megan' Esq., M.l'., at a place called Gauls-
town about three miles from the town, a part of which
peer Kelly had sublet, by consent of his landlord, to a man
losemod Green. Kelly, during the late election, was a warm
supporter and agent of Captain Megan, keeping open
home for his voters, for which service Kelly furnished a
bill of 741. This sum the captain declined to pay,
but offered the half, which was refused. Kelly commenced
proceedings at law against his landlord for the reco-
very of his claim ; and the latter distrained Kelly crops
for the rent due the tat of this present November, and the
produce of the distress was sold on Friday, the 18th instant,
Captain Megan being himself the purchaser. The cora was
removed to the premises of Kelly's under-tenant, Green,
who, it appears, is in Captain Magen's interest. So far, all
went on smoothly. But Kelly having paid the rent of the
whole farm, including Green's portion, imagined that his
Nom had now come to play the tenant-right landlord. Ac-
medingly, he distrained the corn which had formerly been
'Mown property, and which he now found on Green's land.
As if in anticipation of some snob proceeding, Capt. Megan
come in perms frem Clonearl, his residence in the King's
County, on Thursday last, attended by a large number of his
own retainers, with horses and carts, to remove the pro-
perty, whereupon Kelly raised his faction in the neighbour-
hood to defend his "rights." Upwards of 600 men were
assembled on both sides, At first the fight was carried on
by each party's threshing each other with the sheaves of the
disputed corn, till they fought knee deep in grain. Sticks
and stones succeeded ; and after a prolocged battle. Capt.
Hagen withdrew his forces, leaving a man named 'Hoyt's,
who belonged to Kelly's faction, dead on the field ; one of
his own men being badly wounded in the head by a blow of
• stone. Poor Moylsn's instant death was caused by the
shaft of a cart, which struck him on the breast. Ile leaves
a wife and five children. The police, having arrived in
force, arrested Peter Kelly, two of his brothers, and a man
named Pat &ally, and brought them to Moate, where Mr.
Cream, R.M., and Wm. Fetherstou IL, Esq., were sitting
at petty sessions. They are detained in custody for further
investigation. Captain Megan, having applied for military
aid, proceeded on Friday morning to the lands, accompa-
nied by a company of the 33rd Foot from Athlone, and
about 100 policemen, who remained the whole day under
arms in a deluge of rain, until the entire seizure was con-
veyed away en route for Clonearl. Mr. Crone°, R.M., and
the sub-Inspectors of police from Moate, Mellinger, and
Gleason, were on the spot, and the proceedings were com-
pleted without any disturbance. No inquest has as yet
been held on the body of Moylan. Dr. Matthews made a
post mot tem examination this morning, after which the
body was interred; but there is to be a public inquiry at the
Court-house of Moate on Wednesday next. The feeling
of the populace is very violent against Captain Megan ;
Kelly is a near relative of Bishop Cantwell's. I wonder
what " his lordship" will think of his favourite Captain
now ?
The same paper thus describes another barbarous
agrarian outrage which has been perpetrated in the
north :

Patrick WMahosi, a tenant on the Tipping estate, was
waylaid, and brutally beaten, on Friday night last, about
ten o'clock, within two miles of Croesmaglen. He was
returning home, after paying rent, and was set upon by a
party of men, who inflicted al dangerous wounds on
his bead, fracturing a portion of the skull, and leaving other
horrible evidence of brutality on his face and parts of his
body. A few hours after the occurrence it was reported to
Mr. Holmes, S. 1., Crossmaglen, who went immediately to
the scene of the outrage with a party of police. Several
persons have since been arrested. From the nature of the
wounds, it is not expected that the unfortunate sufferer
can survive. He was a quiet and inoffensive man.
Thirty-five special constables were sworn on Friday
lest for the preservation of the peace, at Meigh, the
scene of et7f late attack on the Rev. Mr. Graham,
and adjoining the residence of Mr. Chamber.
