Hopes are even entertained of his recovery. Kelly
fought gallantly. Although his arm was dreadlully
shattered by gun-shot wounds, and bullets passed through
both his loin, and knee, and he bravely kept off lila
murderous assailants with a bayonet. 1 his sanguinary
attack was made while he was in the wood, between the
boors of six aid sea en o'clock on the morning of Sunday.
—He was armed with a gun sod a case of pistols ; and
even after he received the wounds described he fired two
shots at the assassins,, and their, with his laa.vonet, for a
long time, held them in check. At length, the cowardly
ruffians struck him to the ground with stones, and thou

that although this brutal violence took place in a popu-
lism vicinsty, and in the intmediate neighbourhood of
of several houses, no assistance whatever was afforded to
Kelly. He was left to contend simie-1-,aittled, and
udder circumstances of unexampled difficulty, against a
band of sanguinary ruffians, who did not leave their
victim until he was apparently lifeless. As toots as toe

Three more houses have been burned in the neigh-
bourhood of Doneraile, County of Cork.
On the night of Thursday, a farmer, 'unwed William

Robert Coppinger, were executed at the drop in front
of the new gaol, for the murder of NI ajor Collis. In half
an hour alter, Jeremiah Gallivan, for the same offence,
suffered also the awful sentence of the law. He was not
executed at the time of the Copingers, as the drop only
admits of two persons being executed together. After
the Coppingers left the dock on the day or their comics

her fate by Sergeant 'Formula, she yielded herself up to
the most vinleutlatuentations, which was kept us concert
by the roaring of the husband outside the dock ; and it
was a considerable time before order was restored.
The sentence of this woman had a very sensible effect,
as the peasantry loolisitly conceived that no female would
be punished under the Insurrection Act.
