LIMERICK, WEDNESDAY, Novemsza 20.
SHOCKING OUTRAOK.
On Monday morning last, about two o'clock, an
armed gang of ruffians broke into the glebe of the
Rev. Mr. M'Cullough, near Killsloe, county Clare,
by dashing in the kitchen-window; ►he servant
boy was alarmed, and r.su up to the bed-room of
his master, who instantly discharged a brace of
tole at the ruffians, supposed with effect, as some
blood was seen on the stairs—the gang then fired
and wounded Mr. M'Cullough in the arm. Being
unable to make further resistance they ransacked
the house, and took thereout almost every porta-
ble article, and 251. in cash. The fellows remained
in the house two hours, during which they read the
newspapers lying in the parlour—some of the gong
used the moat taunting expressions to Mr. M'Cul.
lough. A female servant who attempted to escape
when the purl), broke in, had her leg broken.
We are happy to find that the report of Mr.
M'Cullough's death is untrue. By accounts re-
ceived here last night, he was as well as could be ex-
pected, from the nature of the wounds inflicted on
him.—(Cork Mercantile CAranitle.)
