ATTE?drTHD ASSASSINATION.—The Mohill Correspond.
ents of the Mail gives the following account. "On the
24th inst.. as Claudius West, Streamstown, was returning
home in a car, accompanied by two of his tenants on
horseback, he was waylaid and fired at by some assassins
who lay in wait for him. One of tho balls took effect and
lodged in his side, when he fell from the car, and the two
men woo accompanied him galloped off; then one of the
villains was perceived by Mr. West to re-load and take
deliberate aim ; the slugs having passed through the pad-
ding of the collar of his coat, had lest much of their force,
and only grazed his head and passed through the crown
and leaf of his hat, when, supposing that the deed was
done, they walked off. Mr. West, wounded and bleed-
ing, crawled to a little distance, and hid himself in the
gripe of a ditch, where he was discovered next morn-
ing ; and though the police were informed of the circum-
stance, and set out in search of him, they were unable to
discover him, as he, though hearing the footsteps, fear-
ing they were those of the murderers returning, remained
silent, and in this miserable condition passed the night ;
wounded, bleeding, and suffering from the cold. Mr.
West is brother to the late Member for Dublin, and also
to G. B. West, Esq., an upright and honourable magis-
trate in this county. No cause for the outrage has been
assigned, and a more quiet, unoffending man does not exist."
" SUNDAY NlGHT.—Three balls have been extracted
from the hip without difficulty, and since that operation I
am glad to tell you that the symptoms are considered by
the surgeons as of a less dangerous nature. Their great-
est apprehension now arises from the effects of his having
lain so many hours in the cold in a state of insensibility."
