Extract of a private letter from Limerick, dated
Dec. 20:—Another dreadful martial has been com-
mitted in this country. You may have seen from
the Irish papers accounts of nightly attacks made
upon the house of a Mr. Conden, of Scart, near
ltathkeal, several times in the coarse of the last six
months. He took a man named Gorman for his
tenant, in the room of one whom he had ejected.—
This man became obnoxious as an intruder. The
famed ' Captain Rock' sent him notice to quit, with
which he did not comply. A party of ruffians at-
tacked his house last night, denouncing terrible ven-
geance. Gorman and his two sons, able-bodied
young men, resisted their entrance manlully. Upon
this the party attacking connuenced a fire of sags
through the doors and windows, and one of the
young men was shot dead through the breast, and
the father 'sadly wounded in the kg and aria. Is it
not singular this happened within a mile of a strong
military post, the town of Rathkeal, and was not
known there until two o'clock the next day? The
fact was, that no one of the country people would
dare to announce it. There were six military par-
ties near the place—the nearest half a milt:, the
farthest little more than u mile. Information haul
been given to the commanding officer a flirtnight
before of the intended attack, and Gorman's lwase
was guarded for several nights. At length the in-
formation was disivgarded, and the guard with-
drawn; and the very first night after, the murder
conunittol. Some arms have been delivered
up, but of such a futilely, that I verily believe it
to be done either tint a stratagem, or fn• a joke by
('apt. Rock,'—old guns and pistols wit;tuut locks,
fit only to make horse shoes. I need not tell you,
the boys' here (so they call thetitielves) know the
difference in the use of fire-ar:as."
