DREADVUL ATROCITY.
(From the Limerick Chronic*. )
On Friday night last, Messrs. Katy and Smith, of Captain
'Wilcock's Police, succeeded in apprehending the noted James
Fitzgibbon, Partrick Carty, John Molony, and Thomas Collins,
all of whim are charged with the wilful murder of Click Burke.
Eng. in Feb. last, near Capps : they are lodged in Rathkcale
Bridewell.
On the next morning at ten o'clock, a female who had been
seen the day before at Itatlikeale, and who was conceived to have
peen information which led to the apprehension of the four fel-
lows, was waling on the avenue leading to Cappa-house, on
• Saturday last, about the hour of eleven in the forenoon, a man
seized her, and dragged her into a grove that stands by the
avenue, and there with a razor cut her tnroat across, but provi-
dentially the design of the tulfian is frustrated, as there are sari-
pine hopes of the girl's recovery.
This scene soak placewithin from twenty to sixty yards of a
cluster of houses, one of them a forge, the door of Ankh opened
towards the spot to which the assassin drew her, and in that forge
were four men atplie moment. We must state that no suspicion
of collusion tests against these four men, as the noise in the forge
prevented the girl's cries from being heard. There are two police
men stationed at Capra, and Mr. Peppard was walking within
sight of, and not more than two or three hundred yards from, the
gal at the time the transaction occurral: one of the twit public
roaihi is the county runs beside the place where she was attacked.
Wit bin the last few nights parties of ruffians visited several
houses between Clarine and Adore, in this county. They flogged
a Lamer. named Lynch, at Brisket; and the dwelling of Mr.
C. Pinker was attacked by en unarmed party, who beat him for
not sending out hi. savant to be flogged by diem.
Monday night. John Frayley received a flogging, near Rath.
keale, from a party of ruffians. He was suspected of giving
information.
At an early hour on Monday morning, a communication
reached the Police-office of Captain Droughty, in this city, that
at six o'clock on the preceding evening, two men of his infantry
corps, named Gunnell and Armstrong, returning from Castle
Connell to their gloaters at Bird-hill, were attacked on the
Gouigg road, and that the former was murdered, and the body
se pposed to have been thrown into a bog-hole, as no trace couid
be found of it. At three o'clock, however, a messenger arrived,
who stated that Gunnell had been found in the corner of a ditch,
at some distance front where the attack had been made upon
lam ; and dial, though wounded and stabbed in several parts of
the body, he was likely to recover.
On Friday night, the Rev. Sir Wm. Reade, Bart., returning
to his i,lebe, at Tonigrany, county Clare, was attempted to be as
imamate(' by a fellow who darted horn behind a wall, and dis-
charged a musket at him; Ilia contents of (two balls) struck the
opposite wall; end Sir William happily escaped by the fleetness
ot his horse. This active magistrate was after apprehending two
mien on infonnatim. and had given them in charge to be con-
veyed to 'I oingrany bridewelt. Every exertion to ;Limit:bend
the delinquent who tiled was prompdy made, but without
effect.
On Saturday night seine villains threw stones at Capt. Middle.
ton, lad. when visiting the guards, near the Square.
Major Nicholson has lodged in Kilkenny gaol three brothers, I
named Ryan, tOr murdering James Egan, at liathlogai, on die
Ilth Sept.
A gang ot robbers. who broke into Captain Morgau's and Mr.
Haines houses, on the Glanmire toad, last week, have been
apprehended by die High Constable ot Cork, after a desperate
resistance.
On Saturday night last, Lieut. Milligan, of the Rifle Brigade
quartered at Newcastle, attended by a patrol of Ids men and a
few of Captain Wilcock's po.ice, marched from Newcastle to the
mountain of Glencluti: They cautiously proceeded along the
different ley-roads and the extensive chain of mountains of ?dor-
niaown, Monism:. Glemore, end Ratheeltill, by which manieuvre
they succeeded in apprehending l• men. After a fatiguing
march ot upwards of 30 miles over mountains and through bogs,
they arrived next day at Neweastie, where the prisoners were
lodged in the Bridewell'
Coax., Steer. 2t.—Scarcely a night passes without some
conflagration of tithe corn, in an otarage emeneeted with the
system. Those farmers v. bo bud purchased their tithe corn,
and even made it up in their 'laggards, have been compelled to
unmake their stacks and draw it back to the lields,. under the
penalty ul the most aevere,puniaiment ; and where some poor
men had hired their horses for the porpose el ratuoviag the
tithe, seogeance followed, by barbarously litrughing arid maim-
big these animals.
At this inomeut there remain throughout that district, several
qoaraitiea of tithe corn, for which agreements bid been made
by the grower with the proctor ; hut such is the terror that is
spread, that all those arrange meats are annulled on the part of
the farmer, wl.o dare Hot take one sheaf of it into his posses-
sion. Such is the atatenitut we are now obliged to oiler ; it is
much to be lamented ; it calls loudly for some permanent mesa
erre, that will restore peace and tranquillity to the country, and
put au tad to those hot rible excesses.

eight, in traversing the country in the direction of Bottevant,
reckoned three fires in different directions. The utmost
claim
consequently prevails that neighbourhood.
On Wednesday night two horses belonging to farmers in the
neighbourhood of Anuakissy, were houghed, in revenge of
their owners having 'iodated in drawing the tithe coin of the
Reverend Mr. Bennett. It appears that that gentleman, having
failed in his endeavours to compound with his parishoucrs
fur their tithes, wits obliged to draw them, a d induced several
of the farmers to bring them to the church-yard of his pariah
chars!' ; bat euuld not prevail upon those persona to bring them
any further. Their loads of hay and various kinds of corn were
thrown out of the carts promircuouely into the church-yard,
and such was the prevalence of the *Meru of terror, that nal a
WWI could be got to stack or rescue the confused mass. With
a view to bring.theni to Mallow, a distance of about four miles
from this church-yard, and there to have the corn and buy
properly secured, Mr. Bennett hired the horses which were
afterwards so barbarously maimed , and on the same ui, ht on
which this cruel act was committed, a notice was posted con-
taining the terrific threat, that t` if auy one presumed to draw
►hat corn, &c. might bring his coffin with him h" The menace
had the desired effect. blr. Bennett has be, u unable to get any
assistance in removing his properly from the churchyard, and
there it lies. The outrages in that neighbourhood were not coo-
Rued to the above-nrectioned fvets—they were numerous and
appalling, as we learn by a lette. received this day from a gen-
tleman who resides in the Lease of the High Sheriff, at Church-
town, dated on Wednesday Wight, which contains the follow.
ing alannin,v expresaionn Burning every night quite close
to us—il has now the appearance of St. John's day. of light-
ing bonfires in every part of the country. It appears that those
ruffians, who are thus setting the country in a flame, linen been
histigated by the suggestions of permit's posseesing much more
knowledge than could be expected from the wretched instru-
ments employed in these oatrages. The incendiaries being
aware of the vigilance of the magistracy, the military, and the
police, have procured a cliymical preparation, which, being
placed in a stack of hay or corn, sets lire to it in some time
after the preparation is deposited; those miscreants, then, by
being at a distance front the lire, escape with impunity. This
has been rendered manifest by au oc. urrence which took place
on Tuesday night. Sir Hugh Gough, the officer who cominan.:s
the military in it uttecant and the surrounding district, having
received intimatioo of the intention of burning a haggard, on
that night stationed a party of soldiers in ambush, hoping
thereby not only to prevent the mischief, but also to seize on
those who intended to commit it. After waiting a considerable
time, the party, to their inexpressible sin-prise, beheld the
haggard burst out into flaws, without the appearance of any
agent to produce the conflagration.
Strr. 39.—it is with feelings of horror and indignatiou that
we announce the most daring instance of burglary and murder
which has been perpetrated in the suburbs of this city for a
length of time, and one which has spread terror and alarm among
the inhabitants of a peaceable and populous district. Teeter-
day morning, at one o'clock, an armed banditti entered the
house of the Rev. J. B. Crcagli, Hyde-park, in the north
suburbs of this city, and having made a noise which awoke the
butler, man of excellent character, of the name of 3l'Cor-
mick ), lie gut up and went out, when they shot him through
the neck, said he expired in a few minutes.
The house of Mr. Condon on the kVellingtomroad wan at-
tacked on the same night by the same gang, before they went to
Mr. Creagh's and that one of the party was taken by a son o f
Mr. Condon'a, but rescued by the others, and in consequence
of the alarm they made uhf.
The Waterford Mirror of Monday, after 'giving the above
articles, adds the following :—" We regret to nay that accounts
mill more distressing Irma the immediate ♦icinity of Cork
reached us last night. Of their authenticity we have no doubt,
but our information is not sufficiently precise to warrant details.
The same conveyance brought es unpleasant intelligence from
the confines of the counties of Cork and Limerick.
On the •20th instant, as Martin M'Maliou wan in the act of
driving cattle for rent due to Mrs. Bradshaw, of Kilteely, .
was attacked by a number of peasantry, who beat him Ind
and fractured his skull. Ile was conveyed to the County in-
firmary in a dangerous state, the cattle was rescued.
WATEMIRD, SECT. 30.—We are sorry to hear from un-
questionable authority, that outrages have been committed on
valeatorn of tithes in the neighbourhood of Aglis, in the s•,uth
west of this county. It is apprehended that these outrages
proceed from a very dangerous and extensive combination.
TilA LEE, SePT. 29.—A few days More, two young gentle-
men hating some difference iu the streets efScaritl, county of
Clare, which led lox boxing match, min of them in a moment
of irritation ran into his father's house, and having taken a fowl-
ing piece which was loaded, fired at his antagonist, whom lie
missed, but the shots unfortunately took effect upon a young
man standing near, but totally unconnected with the party, and
who now lies in a elini,erous situation.
