tiun was brought t(i Coollock, that a gang of
highwaymen, consisting of three, had robbed va-
rious passein,zerS on the road. The Police-officer
there, in consequence, sent out a man that very
• night, to all apju unarmed, and to pass as
a casual traveller; a party of officers were ap-
pointed at the saine time to follow, and be near'
when necessary. As it was expected, the
traveller was stopped by the banditti, and his mo-
ney, as usual, dt..:n a tided : being well mounted, he
suddenly tinned from the robbers, and giving the
concerted signal, Lis party instantly rode up to
his aid ; but So- well mounted and prepared for
such an event were the ruffians, one only was
taken of the gang. He calls himself John Ingle:

the rear Of Mr. Flaichey's house, on Ranelagh
Road ; an alarm was given by the Clog, when

making olT„,the other endeavouring to get noel'

him on the spot. An inquest was held before J.
Pasla v, Esq. Coroner of the Cotn and a highly

publication, we noticed the house of the above
Gentleman to have been burglariously entered and
robbed of plate, and several articles of apparel ;
this caused him to be on the alert.--(Ditto, 25th.)

A Murder of a very atrocious nature was Coln- •
mitted on the 19th inst. almost at the avenue gate
of Edmund Malone, Esq.. of Ballini‘hown, 'near
Muate, on the person of John Gilligan, a peace-
able and industrious man. The circumstances
attending this atbowinable deed, as they have been
represented to us, are as follow
The deceased, John Gilligan, who was a Ito-
man Catholic, and a loyal man, attended a neigh-
bour's funeral to the Seven Churches, on the (lay
stated. Near the church-yard was •,t public-house,
into which he went to get some refreshment. In .
the house was a man, who offered to shake hands •
with Gilligan, which he did ; but not saluting in
the signified/it .3vay, ,by which the affdiated.rutfians
of that county know each other, the fellow cursed
him, and said ,he was no .1/2071. • Gilligan_ made
scarcely any reply, but departed for home. On'
his way, he was overtaken ,by the person in clues--
tion, whit), in lt very riotous humour, repeated
that he was no ?non, and that there were on the_
road but -ow and himself, implying,. as it is to be
presmned, that he, and the man he alluded to,'
were Carders. . In flourishing his stick for inten-
tional atrgression, 'he struck Gilligan under the
eye, who.pushed him into the ditch. He imme-
diately, however, got out, and ran off with Con-
siderable expedition, saying he would have a party
at llallinahown, and murder Gilligan. He •kept
his word. When,Gilligan and his brother reach-
.they were attacked by this' mis-
creant:and a .numerous mob, armed with cudgels,
&c. John Gilligan was almost instantly killed
bya, blow on the head with a. stake, or saute very
heavy weapon, which broke his skull. The other
Gilligan, his brother, eseaped.—An inquest Was
held on the body of John Gilligan, which, not-
withstanding the examination of tell or eleven
witnesses, who were present at the .transaction,
could not discover the murderer's name—all (h(
vied any knowledge of him.
