WATURFORD, •14IL 16.

ronsettuence of thedisturbed state of our neigh-
bourhood, bir F. S. Ilasaartt went out on Saturday
night last, with a party of the Iwtcal Waterford
rant ry, to that pun of the Barony of G ualtier which
borders immediately on this city. A party of Cu-
r:teats had 'mocked and robbed four or live houses
on the Passage tAsad (three of them in the Avenue
of Gmntstown). Captain Hassard, hearing of this,
followed the track of the marauders, and came up
with them at the house of John Whitty, which is also
at Groutstouu,where they had broken in, had litateu
his sou, and were in the act of taking away what
cash he bad; their vide te at the door gave the
alarm ; three of the party,. who were is the house,
=lade their escape through a back window, under
cover of the hedges and the darkness of the sight ;
Captain Howard's party secured the other two,
(who attempted to fly by the front door.) and fol.
lowed the three who went out of the window. The
Captain dischurged two shots very near the fugitives
and one of them fell, but got off. The two taken
were committed ye-sterility to our County Goal.
We understand that the Loyal Waterford have
volunteered to go at all times to assist their Com-
manding Officer, in his active and zealous exertititt

turned approver.
