of the lower orders, in nightly attacking their peaceable
neighbours, was attempted to Ile murdered within the

A few nights ago the house oldie clerk of Pallis-green
church was 11111.14/111Illell by nearly lOU armed men, who
demainled the key of it, which lie give. and accompanied
them whilst they were searching the house of worship
for lead, which they said was deposited there previous
to repairing. Not finding any, they got ladders and
ascended the roof, but were also disappointed. They
then r..tircil desiring the clerk to intimate to the Rev.
Mr. Jellett to part with •his proctor, otherwise they
would pay him a visit. The dame night several! houses
iii the vicinity of Pallis-green were attacked for lire-arms,
and many stand ohtitiued bg these misguided wretches.
—I tiformaeons of this outrage are taken by the the Rev.
Charles P. Coote, a Magistrate of this county.
On Saturday evening, about 5 o'clock, as a marketing
party of the 93d Slighlanders, consisting of a corporal
and three privates, were reuniting to Ballyneety, Wt`t:ll
near Callirliarry one ill the men was a few yards in front
of the others as an advance guard, a fellow cattle behind
him, tripped up his heels, seized his firelock, and made
MI with it; the party immediately gave chase ; the cor-
poral soon overtook the scoundrel, and knocked hint
down with the butt of his musket, secured him, awl
brought hint to Ballyneety. When the party were at-
tacked, a respectable man (whose name we have heard)
who resides near Cahismarry, and some of his men, were
passive spectators; the road at the tinie was covered with
country people coming fiont Limerick ; the corporal very
naturally appreltendA a rescue, and applied to this inan
for assistance, which he posittiely refused. Mr. James
Barry, of Birekstown, fortunately came op at the time,
and on the corporal's applying to him he very kindly re-
mained with the party until the prisoner was delivered
over to Lieut. Arthur, at Ballyneety. The fellow's name
is Magratli, from Herirertstown,a well-known character.
Next morning Lieut. Arthur, and a party of the 93d
Highlanders, brought him to Limerick, with three other
prisoners, charged with attacking a party of the 421, near
Bruree; they are committed for trial at the Special Coln.
