A Boot OF WHITE Boys MST BY THE Mi.
LITAOY.—Ott Thursday morning last, at tier
o'clock, • considerable cumber of armed White
Bon attacked the house of Maurice Hewson, Esq.
of Piouge, near Listowel, county Kerry, in search
of five muss. The shots were distinctly heard at
Gummed. the seat of Johu Church, EN.A.
taoce of two.aeiles, upon which Mr. Chore's lir
patched his son. Edward Church, Esq. with Cootie
Lieut. Quade, end le privates of the 40th
regimeut.• and the gallant Mr. Kitson, Chief Con-
stable, to his relief. This party, by Mr. Church's
judicious plan, took • route by which the insurgents
were likely to retire, after accomplishing their pur-
pose, and by that manoeuvre came up with them
between Mr. Hewsou's house and the modotains,
towards which they were proceeding. They were
instantly challenged and commanded to surrender
their arms, but instead of complying they fired on
the soldiers, who as quickly retomed one volley.
and then charged them with the bayonet, which
soon put theta to flight in all directions. This
gallant band,
.however. succeeded in taking five
prisoners, which, with ME homes, two guns; a car.
blue nod bayouet affixed. all in good
were brought into Listowel.
The Limerick Chronicle. after adverting to the
report corecerning the death of Glemon who had
been wounded by the police near Siz.mtle Bridge,
sod saynot that the statement in the Clare loam,'
was totally destitute of truth, proceeds thus :
" The fact is, the unfortunate malt died of his
wounds (as stated by us in a former publication),
and at his wake, as is usual on such occasious, a
considerable uumber'of candles were lighted arouud
the corpse ; accordiug to so old superstitious cut-
tutu,. some of those candles were pooled along in the
hands of the pervious who sat at the wake, sod a
quantity of dried flex having been stored on a loft,
it took tire, and blazed immediately; some of the
attendants proceeded to extinguish the flames,
while others were employed is removing the corpse,
both of which were accomplished without the ap-
palling
results stated in the preceding paragraph."
