On Solidly last, about two o'clock at spoon. as

ton, was walking in his lawn, a short distance from
the dwelling, he was surrounded by a number of
armed men, who had lain concealed in the adjoining
shrubbery, and who ordered him to walk towards
has Insure, and deliver out what arms and ammuni-
tion it contained. Mr. IL not expecting so extra-
ordinary a meeting, and being unarmed, was corn-
pelled to yield to their requisition. On the party
approaching the house the inmates were preparing
to resist them, when the fellows presented their
hostage to view, and stated that if any opposition
should be made, and if the arms, &e. were not in-
stantly
handed out, Mr. Ilewom should meet the
fate of Mr. Going. There was no remedy—the
arms were given, with which they walked off.
The house of Edward Griffin, Esq. of Ballyorwt,
within a short distance of Mr. Hewron's, was 1
visited by.pie same putty, in ■ short time after*
and one gun taken.
On Friday Hight last, a party of armed men at-
tacked the Porter's Lodge at ‘Vhitelitill, near this
city, at the ent►ance to the dwelling-house of Capt.
Keane, Paymaster of the County Limerick Staff.
It was occupied by one of the men belonging to
that corps, and supposing that he hail his musket
in the house, they searched it minutely, but for-
tunately without success. The same party taro
entered the Lodge at Mr. Loses's, of Quinpoole,
with the like result.
A 'recond visit was made to Major Tonoltilo's
house, near Patrick's Well, u few eights since, in
search of fire-arms, and flee party succeeded in get-
ling one gun.
We are credibly informed that those nightly ma-
rauders. in order to protect their persona front the
effect of light shot, or slugs. actually envelopethern-
selves in hay-ropes front the feet to the neck, which,
we are told, will repel that description of ammuni-
tion. The hint should he attended to by all who
are determined upon defending their residences, so
as to he prepared with more weighty metal to cuter
these toots-of--mail.
The Rev. John Croker and his lady returning in
their carriage to his house at Croom Glebe, a few
oights ago, were fired at by rouse villains from be-
hind a hedge, near Croom, happily without effect

veciabie gentleman loss, in the mast considerate
'Manner, made a reduction of one-third in the cur-
►ent tithes which belong to his father, whose age
obliges him to have the management of it to his
son, one shilling of "bleb 11116 soot yet been paid,
and neither he nor his respectable father ever had a
decree executed against a parishioner.
On Nlonday I farm-houses in the neigh-
bourhood of Kiltionne, in this comity, were at-
tacked, and where arms were not to be laid, the
banditti insisted nit getting money to puicliase

[From the same.]
At the early hour of eight o'clock on Sunday
evening last, the house of Robert Carte, Esq. at
Birdhill, county Tipperary, was entered by a gang
°ltalians, and his fire arms taken. This is the first
attempt of the kind in that neighbourhood. and we
are sorry to say that the seeds of insubordination
are fast sowing in that hitherto peaceable district.
[From thelAsiag Moderator, November 21 ]
It is this day our militia duty to narrate one of
the most horribly atrocious outrages which has ever
disgraced this, or, perhaps, any other country. We
for sonic time wished to doubt the rumours which
were in circulation yesterday morning, but we have
been compelled to rely upon their authen►icity, by
the concurring testimony of various highly respect-
able authorities. The facts are as follow:—A re-
■pectable farmer, named Edmond Shea, who resided
within two miles of Nile-mile House, in the county
of Tipperary, and near the borders of this county.
felt himself obliged, in consequence of the under
tenants and cotters on his farm having refused either
to pay► their rent it; money or to labour for him in
its discharge—to dispossess them and to bring
labourers to dig his potatoes from a neighbouring
village. On the night of Monday lasi, leis house and
out-officers were surrounded by an armed ban-
ditti, who set fire to both, at one and the woe
moment. In the former were Shea. his wife,
seven children, and three female servants; in the
latter. five labourers slept. Such of these un-
fortunate victims of brutal ferocity as attempted
to escape from the flames, were fired at by
those miscreants and driven back into the blazing
elements. In short (for who can hear to dwell/ ou
an account so revolting to every feeling of huma-
nity !) the whole of the seventeen tel of this
family were hurried into eternity! Comment on
guilt so diabolical we deem superfluous; but we
will feel it our duty to communicate such additional
particulars as may reach us from authentic sources
in our next publication.

KERRY.
[Front the suome.]
The outrages are fast inere.antig in the county of
Kerry, notwithstanding the praiseworthy exertions
of the Magistrates and Gentry, The house of E.
Sealy, Esq. was deprived of a gun, and at Mr.
M'llward's of Bally Egan, another: the house of
George Hilliard, Esq. of Bailorough, was els., at-
tacked for arms, but it contained none, On Satur-
day night, there was a large assemblage near Castle
bland, and on Sunday morning a notice, signed
" General Rock," was posted on the chapel door
of Ballittegersgb, which was torn down by the pa-
rish Priest, the Rev. Mr. M.Carthy, on which he
commented in strong language ; but it is feared
without staking little or no impression on the feel-
