CLONMEL, MARCH 6

Committed by the Earl of Dosiouglimore, John
Fitzgerald, fur a highway robbery committed by
hint, accompanied by his brother, who i• since dead
of the wounds 1w received in resisting his apprehen-
sion, for'shooting and wounding Jnh. Foley.
. It appeared on the evidence given ut the inquest,
that the Prisoner and his deceased brother, built of
whom were armed with pistols, about nightfall on
Wednesday last, stopped and robbed a man named
John Foley, who was on his return from the fair of
Clonmel, at a place called Coolnabat.soon, in the
county of Waterford. and not far from the b wracks
of Ballinamult. They robbed him of eleven ten-
penny pieces. Strange to tell, they autiontwed
themsel►es to be two of the Fitsgeralds from Castle
Grace ! They are brothers to the villain who was
shot about two years ago by Mr. Deere, when in
the act of attacking this house of the widow Ross,
at Scrod.

Immediately after the robbery, several persons
Caine up, as Foley supposes, in constcpteoce of the
alarm winch was given by a woman wooled Bridget
Power, who had been reeeotly robbed by the amine
persoris, near the same place. The party on coin-
ing up, proceeded to close on the rubber., who
faced them, presenting their pistols at them, and
encouraging each other to fire. Foley advancid
before the party, and on attempting to seize one of
the robbers, was fired upon by lam, and wounded
in four different parts of the left breast. The
larger of the two meal fired at Foley. It was the
bundler man who rubbed Bridget Power.
Foley and Ns patty continued to press num) the
robbers, who retreated fur nearly half au hour,
though not more than the distance of a quarter of
a mile, during which the robbers were pelted with
stones, and much beaten (by Foley's evideawe
they looked like bulls that hid been baited). ho-
Ivy, after s time, rushed forward, and seized
the larger man of the two ; the smaller man hod,
in Ihe mean time, been taken by Foley's son, utAt
put into a car, into which they also pot his compa-
nion ; and they were conviled to liulluwrr alt bar-
rack, in the black hole of which one of the robbers
died that night. From this they were brought next
morning to Knocklofty, where the inquest was held
before the Earl of Donoughinoie and Robert
Holmes, Esq.
Upon the meritorious conduct of the peasantry
and their brave and successful cmillict with these
villians, it is not necassary to expatiate. We have
given the detail of the transactiou sufficiently to
sliew bow highly their country is indebted to theta ;
