EXTRAORDINARY OUTRAGE.

We regret to learn that on Fziday night an outrage of
an unprecedented character, at least in this country, was
attempted to be perpetrated on the Great Southern and
Western Railway on the person of Mr. Matthew Lynch, a
respectable builder, of Camden-street, in this city. Mr.
Lynch, being engaged in the erection of some houses in
Clonmel for Mr. Malcolmson, of Portlaw, has been in the
habit of going down regularly every week to Clonmel to
superintend the progress of the work and pay the workmen.
The times and purpose of these journeys became, it would
appear, well known along the line, On Friday evening
Mr. Lynch l?ft Clonmel for the purpose of proceeding back
to Dublin. Having waited for the arrival of the up-train
from Cork at the Limerick Junction, he started at a quarter
past 12 o'clock in a second-class carriage for Dublin. He
was alone in the carriage, and was about composing himself
to sleep, when—the train Wing still in slow motion—a rail-
waye
porter came to the door, which was locked, at the
opposite side from the platform, and putting his
pte hdan
the door. Mr. Lynch, well knowing the rules of the cam-
pang, and that the man had no business there, went over
towards the door and asked him
whatf h© had any money.
Mr. Lynch said he had none for him, he wanted. Tho
porter, in reply, asked Mr, Lynch z
