Constable Cleary was the brat witimme examined. in t'se
s muse of Ins depositions as to the Above stated events, he
rand—Tbeie were about .00 people, men, women, nial
Geldicu, ow at es when we ruched vwyer's house. They
were shouting and selling out, " Scully, the Mislaid ' awl
one man in ',articular in the crowd cried out, "We m Wit
as well be dead am &bye." Than when we came, oat of n he, 'se,
befoul we came to Dwyer's, the mob beciune more deter-
mined iu their 'fleets to get at Mr. Scully, awl I to
them, " For God's sake keep back, as we will nave to use
violence, for protect this man I will." One tuan in the
crowd then said, We 'Meld as well be dead as alive -•
what can we do?" 1 then went to Mr. Scully, ash said
to him that the mob was oncrusmig. and it would be mire
advisable to bane. He said, " Well. whist do you think
is hest'?" and I advised him to leave the land, or he would
be hurt, as with the number of men with me I would
not be able to protect him. "Is that your opinion'?"
raid be. " Yes," mid]. " Well," said he, ' now for
the junction.' We were then about three fields from
Dwyer's house. Dwyer's home was not, I think,
in our direct way to the railway junction, but
he ltd the way, and we followed bun. He
went by the back of Dwyer's, and turned short
into the yard towards the door of the derelliag-house-
tlonnan lamer, and Morrongli were with lam, and I
remained where he tunnel Mr keeping the crowd back. I
Hopped the people at the corner, arid while performing
that duty I heanl two shots. I saw Mr. Scully run acnee
thsywilorennital. He got in Adler of a pier, and he
shouted to me, "(come en." 1 Went into the rnisAtle of
the yard, and commenced to tire at where I saw the
rmoke coming from. He was tiring at the same time from
behind the pier. He said, "Will any one miter the house
with me ?" 1 will said 1, "come on;" and we
rushed to the house. It was then I saw (lorman lying
apparently dead at the threshold. We got into the house,
and I turned to the men and called on them to follow me.
They did so at once. I did not see any person in
the house. I fired from the centre of the yard at
the porthole. Mr. Scully said there were people in
the loft. " Very well," said I, " I will go there." I
jumped on the table, and then perceived a hole in the
thatch quite large enough for persons to escape through.
Just then Sub-constable Colleton said, "My God, Con-
stable Cleary, lam shot." The porthole WWI on the
barn or cowhouse, on one side of the door. When I got
off the loft I went again out in the yard. The porthole,
which was quite fresh in the outhouse or barn, coin-
neuided the door of the house. When we went out into
the yard, Mr. Scully and I forced open the door of the
outhouse in which the porthole was • he caught one side
of the door and I the other. We said, "There must be
some one inside." The door was barricaded with a lot of
sticks. We found the back door open. Near the porthole
was a bluuderbus, which appeared to have buret. Up to
this time I had not seen Morrough. I looked out into the
garden which the back door led to, and found a large
number of footstep's there. I then returned to the yard, and
saw Morrough for the first time. He was then dead.
After tearing open the door of the house there were no
shots tired, but there were a number fired after Colleton
said he was shot. Morrough was lying near the porthole.
From the beginning I should think there were 11 or 18
shots tiled by. what I may call the "opposite party." I
did not see a single man of those who fired.
Doctors Hewitt and Kennedy were examined as to the
cause of Gorman's death, and Dr. Harlin as to Sub-con-
stable Morrough' a.
The coroner having summed up, the jury retuned
the following verdict :—" That the jury fled that Sub-con-
stable Morrough and Darby Gorman came by their deaths
on the lands of Ballycohey, from the effects of bullet wounds
inflicted on Friday, the 14th of August, 1868, by some
person or persona to us at present unknown. The jury are
further of opinion that the conduct of Mr. William Scully,
as regards proceedings towards hie tenants at Bally-
cohey, is much to be deprecated, and the sooner legis-
lative enactments be passed to put a stop to any such
proceedings the better for the peace and welfare of the
country.'
After the inquest on Murrough and Gorman, an inquiry
into the circumstances was held by the magistrates. Five
of the prisoners were discharged, and the other four re-
manded. It would seem from the evidence at the inque4
that none of the persons who fired the shots can be identi-
fied.

A local paper says that the lands at Ballycohey forrnel
a part of the Portarlington estates, and were purchased in
the year 1844 by Mr. Charles Grey Grey, J.P., Ballykis-
teen, then agent over the Earl of Derby's estates in Tip-
perary. In the year 1866 Mr. Grey sold the townlaial of
Ballycohey to Mr. William Scully, who in the month of
November last had a number of leases prepared, and thtm.,
he offered to the tenants, 22 in number. They refused to
take them, chiefly because of a clause requiring them to
give up their farms at 21 days' notice, and obliging them
to resign all claim for growing crops or compensation.
Mr. Scully, finding that those leases would not be accepted,
resolved, it is stated, to turn out the tenants.

We Learn by telegram that proclamations are posted in
Tipperary offering a reward by the Lord Lieutenant of
11001. for the arrant of any of the party who tired on Mr.
Scully and the police, and also a reward of Wit. for infor-
mation which may lead to their arrest

DOUBLE ASSAULT BY A PRIEST.—At Castle-
towu-Ber petty sessions, ou Friday, Sub-constable John
Sullivan summoned the Rev. Michael O'Reilly, P.P., for
assaulting him when in the exercise of his duty, on the 6th
of hut month. The sub-constable stated that on the day
named he meLteci ount; woman, about 2 o'clock in the
day, and stopped g
speak to her for a moment. when the
Rev. Mr. 0' •ly and his curate came up. Mr. O'Reilly
struck the girl several times with his umbrella. He
(witness) felt it his duty to interfere, and, on
attempting to protect her the rev. gentleman struck
him with the same weapon, and hurt his arm severely
Rev. Mr. O'Reilly—l admit what he states to bs
true. I felt irritated at the moment at seeing the
policeman speaking to the girl. I had frequently spoken
to him on the subject before. Sullivan—lmputations have
been attempted to be cast on this girl, and I say they are
most unfounded. Her character stands as high as that
of any girl in the parish, and she has been brutally
assaulted by Mr. O'Reilly. Mr. O'Reilly--There are
matters connected with this case which I don't wish to
refer to. Sullivan —I say I defy you to bring forward a
single circumstance either against my character or lea,.
You wish her to marry another to put
money in your own pocket. You asserted the last
court-day that it was in the cause of morality you
had interfered. Mr. O'Reilly—l deny I said so. The
defendant having expressed his regret for the as-cult, awl
Sub-constable Sullivan not 'nutting for any punidimeat,
the court ordered Mr. O'Reilly to pay the costs. The
next case was a complaint on the part of the sub-eon-410,1e
against the defendant for assaulting Julia Kelly. Sallie:in
proved the facts as before stated, and the magistrates
having consulted for a few minutes, the chairman (Nfr.
Armstrong) announced the decision of the court, that
Mr. O'Reilly pay a fine of is. and costs, or one week's im-
prisonment. The fine was at once paid.
A FATAL LEAP Felt LIFE.— sad sweurreiwe lets
happened at the mouth of the Mersey. A. the Isle of .llati
steamer Mona's Queen was approaching the river. awl
when off the Rock Light, a shrimp boat, having 011 hoard
three men and a boy, was seen standing out t 3 the west,
under full sail, and crossing the track of the steanc2r.
Captain Fell ordered the helm a-starboard. that he might
pass wider the 'stern of the shrimper. Whether the close,
proximity of the steamer frightened the men is not
certain, but almost the next moment the boat was
seen in stays, with her head turned completely rowel,
and bearing down upon the vessel. A collision
was inevitable, and everybody expected to see
the shrimper cut in two, and instantly sent
to the bottom, The engines were reversed, and every
effort was made to bring the steamer to, and in this Cap-
tain Fell ultimately succeeded, for although the boat was
dismasted, probably by a blow from the sponvon, it was
not overturned. Immediately the men on board the hOlt
saw the imminent danger in which they were placed, two
of them jumped into the sea, one attempting to support
himself by menus of a cork fender, with which the boat
was provided. At this moment the greatest excitement
prevailed amongst the ngere, and it was feared both
men must perish. One of the passengers, Mr. Thomas
Gray, a master rigger, however, threw off his hat and
coat, and, without a moment'A hesitation, jumped into the
sea, and raved the man who was clinging to the cork
fender ; but the other poor fellow sank. The persons who
remained in the boat escaped without injury.
A WIFE ACCIDENTALLY SHOT BY HER HUSBAND.
—At about two o'clock this morning John M'Cullum,
who resides on Temperance-hill, Weet Troy, heard a noise
at his kitchen door, and supposing a burglar was cndea-
vouing to gain admittance got up carefully and secured
his pistol in orderto give the supposed thief a warm recep-
tion. Proceeding carefully in the direction of the door,
he awaited the further movements of the intruder, and
upon seeing the door pushed open fired and shot his wife
through the fleshy part of the arm. It appears that in
consequence of the heated atmosphere of their sleeping
apartment Mrs. BPCullum had, without disturbing the
stumbei of her husband, got out of bed and prouveded to
