On the night of Sunday last the house of Win.

the interior of it consumed. The only cause to
which we can trace this atrocity iv, that this tene-
ment was designed for a police station.
On the night of Tuesday last, the dwelling-house
of Mr. Joseph Hicks, in the parish of Kilglass,
county Hascommon, was set on fire, together with
two stacks of corn, in his haggard, by some malicious

CORK, OCTOBER 10.
On the night of Tuesday, the lit instant, a party
of five or six armed men, with their faces blacken-
ed, forcibly entered the dwelling-house of • farmer
of the naulk of Donovan, near the residence of
Richard O'Dlotuovan, E.q. of Donovan's Cove, in
the west of this county. After upbraiding the man
for having lately taken a farm, they proceeded to
treat hint and his wife in the most barbarous ma,i-
ner, and afterwards plundered the house of thir'y
pounds, with sundry articles. The man has since
died of the wounds, and little hope is entertained
of the "rowan's recovery. A man of the name of
Regale has been fully identified by the wife of the
murdered man as being concerned in the outrage.
The following authentic particulars acme of the
'most desperate and audacious attacks we have yet
to record, has been transmitted to us by Mr. Foott
himself, whose gallant defence of his house and fa-
mily, although he cou:d not succeed in saving his
property, is entitled to every praise:—
