TWO DREADFUL MURDERS IN THE
COUNTY OF LIMERICK.
Donuts., Nov. 19.—An extra edition of the Lime-
rick Chronicle, received this day, contains the follo,k-
ing account of two most atrocious murders perpetrated
near that city yesterday :
" LIMERICK CHRONICLE OFFICE, THUESDAY.—At
eight o'clock this morning two dreadful murders were
committed at Rathurd Castle, within two miles of this
city. The victims of assassination,were Mr. Ralph
Hill, sub•agent to David Fitzgerald, Esq., George's-
street, and a land bailiff, named Madden. It appears
that Mr. Hill, in the discharge of his duty, had made
a distress yesterday on corn belonging to John Quain,
tenant to Benjamin Frend, Esq , who was indebted
to his landlord to a large amount. After the
seizure keepers were
placed on the premises, and
Mr. Hill returned to Limerick. This morning,
accompanied by Thomas Flannery, he again visited
Quain's house, for the purpose of removing
the corn from the haggards, where they were
met by Quain's son, with whom 'Mr. Hill was talking,
when four shots were fired at him and his bailiffs,
from behind the haggard, melancholy to relate, with
fatal effect. Mr. Hill was killed on the spot, and the
bailiff (Madden) also fell a victim to assassination.
One of the keepers, James M'Mahon, was wounded
on the head, the skull having been laid bare by slugs,
and Flannery received the contents of a gunshot in
the back of the band. Thii atrocious outrage has
created the greatest sensation in this city, where Mr.
Hill, an intelligent inoffensive man, of active habits,
and formerly a sergeant in the city militia, was well
known and respepted. There will be an inquest this
day on the Wales. The carmen who went out to
bring in the corn seized fled in all directions when
the shots were fired. Two men have been arrested,
one of whom is identified as a principal in the
murder."
STATE OF TIPPERARY—MEASURES OF
GOVERNMENT.
The Evening Mail contains the following address
from the Earl of Donoughmore, Lieutenant of Tip-
perary :
"To the Magistrates of the North Riding of the
county of Tipperary.
" Palmerstone-house, Nov. 18, 1847.
" Gentlemen,—Partaking as I do, in common with
yourselves, in the sentiments of respect and esteem
for Mr. R. Bayly, which all who know his character
and witnessed his usefulness must entertain, I can find
no words to express the horror which I felt when the
appalling news reached me of the murderous assault
by which his valuable life has been endangered. This
is but one of the numerous murderous outrages by
which our unhappy country has been disgraced, and
which indicates a system of atrocity which, as long
as it is suffered to prevail, must leave every man's
life at the mercy of cowardly and miscreant assassins.
As Lieutenant of the county, I have felt it my duty
to accompany a deputation to the Lord-Lieutenant,
by whom a statement was laid before his Excel-
lency, which clearly showed the utter impossibility
of meeting the secret combinations with which
we have to contend by the ordinary operations
of the law. Lord Clarendon fully felt the force of
our representations, and I do believe has seen the
necessity for prompt and energetic measures. I can
only say, at present, that I firmly rely on his wis-
dom and determination to do whatever can be done
to restore the reign of law and order. With this
conviction on my mind, I do not consider it expe-
dient at present to call a meeting of the magistrates of
the North Riding; in my opinion, they could add no
new facts to those stated by the deputation ; and
such a meeting would but expose the individuals who
would come forward to express their abhorrence of
those deeds of blood is the violence of the wretches
by whom they have been contrived and perpetrated,
and only add other victims to the number of those by
whose loss so many families have been deprived of
their best protectors. Parliament is now about to
meet, and I know that our case is under the conside-
ratian of the authorities : I trust, therefore, that you
will agree with me, that any public demonstration on
our part should be deferred until we learn their de-
termination respecting the frightful state of our
country.
" I am, gentlemen, your most obedient, humble
servant,

" DONOUGHMORE. Lieutenant."
ALARMING STATE OF THE COUNTRY.
DunLiri, Noir. 20.—A ictter of yesterday an-
nounced the murders of a land-agent and bailiff in the
county of Limerick. This day intelligence ha 3 been
received of several more murders ; one in the county
,f Tipperary, the victim being an agent of the Mar.
(pis of Ormonde, who was shot yesterday at Kilcash,
two in the northern county of Tyrone, one in Mayo,
and another in Limerick.

Even in the metropolis this wholesale system of
assassination has produced a feeling of consternation.
DREADFUL MURDER IN TIFFERARY.—From a
private letter, received in town this day, we have the
afflicting intelligence that the cub-gent of the Mar•
quis of Ormonde was murdered yesterday, at Kil-
cash, on the property of the Noble Marquis, within
about six miles of Clonmel, in the county of Tip-
perary.—Evening Post.
A report was received in town last evening that a
gentleman named Toole was shot near Limerick yes-
erday.—Saunders's News Letter.
TUB LATE ATTACK ON MR. BAYLY —Thursday)
a meeting of the ex officio guardians of the Nenagh
union, over which Mr. Bayly so well presided for the
last five or six years, was held at Brundly's Hotel,
Nenagh, to take into consideration the atrocious
attack on their chairman, and to adopt such measures
Is, after due deliberation, they should agree on. The
press was excluded as well as the public; but we be-
deft that unanimous application was made to Go-
vernment for an increased military and police force,
and that an Arms Act and Coercion Bill were called
for. Six persons were yesterday (Friday) ar-
rested on suspicion of the outrage, and lodged in the
ounty gaol of Nenagh. Their names are Patrick
llogan, John Hogan, Thomas Hogan; James Hogan,
Thomas Dwyer, and John Ryan. We are happy to
illy that up to this moment (Friday ever.ing, half-
past seven o'clock), Mr. Bayly has been going on as
well as can be expected--Tipperary Vindicator.
KING'S COUNTY...—BANAGHER, THURSDAY.—On
Wednesday night a party visited the house of Mrs.
Neill, but recently left a widow, and left in posses-
sion of a farm. The relatives of the husband de-
manded possession, a discussion ensued, and advice
wing taken, it was resolved she should leave the
:louse until the difference calmed down. She went
to her father, Mr. Larken's house, and on Wednes-
day night a party of armed men called and demanded
to see her. The widow's father, an aged man, with
her brother at the door, resisted the entrance of the
narauders. A struggle ensued, shots were fired,
.Ind Mr. Larken was wounded in the arm, the son in
the neck, not, we hope, dangerously.
COUNTY OF MAYO, BELLINA; Nov. 18.—ALLEGED
MURDER.—On last Monday evening a man named
Browne died at Bunnifinglass, a place within four
miles of this town. The deceased attended a fair
held there that day, and was engaged in a fight with
some other persons. It is reported that he received a
blow of a loaded whip on the head, but he afterwards
transacted business and did not complain of being
injured. Iu the course of the evening, after having
drunk, it is said, pretty freely, he retired to bed, and
shortly after expired.—Tyrawly Herald.
COUNTY OP TYRONFL—DREADFUL MURDER.—Po-
MEROY, Nov. 16.—About ten o'clock this morning a
bailiff named John Heazelton, went out to execute
a session decree on the person of Felix Linn, at the
suit of Peter M`Gone, of this town. The debt was
for two guns which M'Gone sold to Linn last winter.
Linn had secreted himself in the house of a man of
the name of Mooney, who keeps an apothecary's
shop in this town. Out of this house he sallied at the
ahoy* hour, accompanied by four of his brothers, all
armed with bayonets, pitchforks, and pistols. The
party had not proceeded more than thirty perches out
of the village when the bailiff arrested Linn. A
dreadful affray now took place, in which unfortunate
Heazelton was stabbed in the side with a bayonet by
Linn, of which wound he died in the course of they
day. One of the brothers fired a pistol at M'Gone, which did little injury.- An inquest was held on
Heazelton by Henry King, Esq., M.D , coroner for
Tyrone, when a verdict of wilful
murder. was re-
turned against Linn, and the other brothersaccessories
of the murder. Two of the brothers had been appre-
hended, but the other three have absconded,
md i t is
thought will endeavour to make their escape to Ame-
rica.—Newry Telegraph.
