KtNG's COUNTY.---O 11 the 4th inst. a nunicrous
banditti, amounting to 300, at the most mode-
rate calculation of their Strength, well armed,
assembled bud turrprized, and disarmed five
of the BallycoMber Yeomanry. In consequence
of this outrage, severe.l of the neighbouring Ma-
gistrates signed a requisition 'to the High 61teriff,
to call a 'Meeting to consider of the best me:a-tires
to be pursued tinier such circumstances of crimi-
nal audacity. The High Sheriff accordingly con-
vened -a meeting at Clara, which vv•as most re-
spectably attendtel, there being present, among
others, Lord Chavleville, Gen. Kt!tinnis, Mr. Step-
ney, C;Junscllors Whitestone Mulocii, Mess.
Berry, Fuller, Roman, Mulock, G. ilolmes,-&c.
The 1-li!,11 Sheriff took the Chair, and tite follow-
ing Resolutkus were unanimously adopted :
At a numerous :kleeting of the :\Jagistrates of the King's
Conaty, holden at Clara, on the Sth day of October, tals,
ptlyS!iant to a Itequi'aitiou made to the High Sheila' of
'said Cottatv it:war; unanimously

:„ _ ...............
Resolved, l'aat it is with deep regret we have to observe,
that the weans hitherto reitn'ted to,lor puffin,: e;.d to the
distttrbitnce, -,hich disgrace this parr of our County, have
proved inefficacious.

Resalved, 'What a most respectful ap:,lication be made to
his Excellency the.LordLieutenant,furtlirr to strengthen the
}lauds of the Magistracy, by such additiolial military force as,
tinder the circumstances of the case, shall to his Excellency's
wi,doin appear expedient.
,t.solved, That if, is a fortnight from the adoption'of this
measure, the deluded people called Carders shall continue to
violate the laws, we shall, however relact.intly, feel it our
duty to apply to his I..xcelleueY, 10 put the luitirreLtion -Act
in force in the disturhed districts of rhos Cott 01y. ,
G. MARSH, Sheriff, King's County. "

,On the night of the day of these resolutions
passed, which slimed the Magistracy incompetent
to the preservation of the public peace, without
military aid, the house of a Mr. Keay, within on:
mile of the town of Clara, where the meeting was
held, was attacked by a. hotly of armed ruffians,
calling themselves Carders, who robbed him cif
his arms. On the same night they made an effort
to surprise two of Captain Fuller's corps of Yeo-
manrY, in which, however, from the go);1 conduct
of those men, they tailed ; and on the two yeo-
men sallying Out, they made off with great preci-
pitation. These eireinnstanceS prothiced, on the
I I th, a meeting of the Clara AssociatiOn, which,
though very respectably attended, was not pro-
ductive of any particular, measures for checking
th 6 enterprises of those nightly marauders. The
restoration of plundered arms was not expected
front any measures in the ordinary course of Ma-
gisterial exertion—on the contrary, the sole ob-
ject of the' banditti who infest that county, seems
to be the acquisition of anus-they appear almost
regardless- of any .other species of depredation.
The Government lots attended with proper con-
sideration to the state pf the part of the King's
County under our observation, and by military re-
inforcementsdiave enabled the IVli4istrates to act
with .1110 re vigour ;111(1 etikienCy.-(Dilidin Cor-
