blow on the head, which it ma thought had killed him. The
people in the van became frightened, and remitted to runaway
but I made them Wimp, end told them they would then be
safe. The aeon remained a little behind, and pre-
vented some of the mob from genies at W. The mob thee:
consisted of 300 or 400 people. We at last formed into •
body, and proceeded. We got within two miles of Ballinrobe
when we heard that the town was in a elate of great excite-
ment, and we sent for • larger escort ; 26 infantry wen seat
in addition to the 26 cavalry we had with us. We pro-
ceeded towards the town end pared neer a lane about
20 feet wide, where we were met by • mob of people.
Infantry west stationed at the foot and cavalry at
the head of the lane. There was a high wall on one gide,
on which we ob./limed • number of people, Father Conway

a priest, and that of the church of the people. be upon you
seven times, if you vote for Colonel Higgins." Those words
were pronounced in a solemn tone, Father Conway being on
his knee.. Immediately a number of violent men teemed
from the space enclosed by a well, seized the horses heeds,
and prevented ue from proceeding, while the mob com-
menced Biasing stones from the wall, where the priest mill
remained. Mr. Burke mid that if a clone struck him he
would shoot Father Conway, whereupon Father Conway
immediately disappeared. Cutaway was afterwards on
horseback, and came up and abused mo violently.
He arid, " Boys, boys, don't kill a policemen or
a soldier." There was a tremendous mob, and the
voters were very much afraid. There was a tre-
mendous mob, but at lest I got the men into order, and got
to the hotel. Conway: went awayp, and made a speech
