A Dublin paper (S'aunclers's Newsletter) contains the
following accoint of a serious mutiny in the Kerry
Militia, statione.l at Limerick : -
"Oa Sunday, when this corps mustered upon parade to
march for chapel service, intimation was given that, by
orders of General Chatterton, commandant of the district,
they were not to be played to worship as usual when in
Kerry by their baud. As soon as this communication was
made the men became discontented, and a flame of indigna-
tion spread throughout the entire ranks. A general dis-
position to mutiny suddenly sprang up from one end of the
line to the other, and Major Spring having called upon the
most aggrieved in the affair to stand forward, a corporal of
the Kerry Militia did so, and was immediately placed under
arrest. He was instantly conveyed to the guardhouse,
having previously struck Major Spring. The entire body
then revolted, broke from their position, proceeded to the
guardhouse, and forcibly released the corporal, who was
carried in triumph through the barrack-square upon the
shoulders of his comrades. The se, jeant-major (Godly)
was also struck on the occasion, and since then the entire
of the Kerry Militia have been confined to barracks.

" When in Buttovant theß,oman Catholic parish priest of
that place communicated with the commanding officer of
the Kerry Militia with a view that the band of that corps
should not play to chapel service. A serjeant of the 9th
depot, suspected of having been implicated in stimulating
the Kerry boys' to revolt, is under arrest."
