county and Roecommon, had invaded the boundotiea
of the county Mayo on the night of Thursday last,
but that they were most spiritedly repulsed by a
detachment of the 39th regiment, after sustaining a
loam of two men killed and one mortally wounded,
together with several others slightly, who were con-
veyed off by the assailants, after having lost a pro-
fusion of blood. There were nine of the
insurgents taken prisoners, among whom is their
leader. The gentry of Mayo are most laud-

ing the same; fourth indictment, for forciby exact-
ing money ; fifth indictment, fur demanding same,
•slth intent to rob; sixth indictment, fur appearing

The evidence on the part of the Crown then com-
menced, and fully supported the indictments. Af.

(Daly), the Jury, without quitting their box, found
the I'ri•nrrrr Guilty upon all the indictments.
The Learned Judge had the Prisoner then called
•p for sentence, and after a most energetic and
feeling appeal to those present, on the extent and
enormity of the crimes which appeared so prevalent
in the county of Roscommon, he passed the moral
sentence of the law, but has nut yet appointed a day
for hi+ execution.

pany with upwards of 50 more, were met, at four
o'clock on the morning of 30th Dec. last, by Owen
Young, E•q. • Magistrate of this county, who had
previously received information of their intention ;
and h.fore they could proceed to any acts of out-
rage, he, with at small party. en•ststusg of twelve
