It will be seen," adds the Mail, "that the names of
Lords Bandon, Ross, Blaney, and Ca.Vetnaine, are printed
in italics, being the four Conservative Peers who have aban-
doned their party, deserted their country, and joined Sir
Robert Peel in his attempt to ruin Ireland. Lords Ormonde
and Hawarden are placemen—the latter 'Ministerial whip-
p.n.,' an' it please ye—and are obliged to do as they are or-
dered, under the terror of the lash themselves."
THE FATAL AFFRAY IN TIPPERARY.

The Nenagh Guardi zn has brought the full particulars of
the fatal affray briefly reported yesterday. An inquest was
held on the bodies of the ill-fated persons who were killed,
and a verdict returned to the effect that they "came by
their death from gun-shot wounds inflicted by the police in
the discharge of their duty." The facts, as proved in evi-
dence. appear to be as follow :

"At 10 o'clock on Saturday morning, Mr. Going, sub-
sheriff of Tipperary, proceeded to Bird hill, about 10 miles
from Nenagh, to obtain possession, under a habere, of the
house and lands of Mr. George Maunsell, and his under-
tenants, about 22 in number, at the suite of the landlord, Mr.
Stephen Hastings Atkins, for 14 yew's rent, ending the 25th
March last. Having been apprised that much resistance
would be given to him, he took the precaution to have a
strong military force of the 72d, from Newport, under the
command of Captain Pollard, and a large body of police, in
all about 100. On arriving at Mr. Maunsell's residence they
found it regularly fortified, and prepared for a besieging force.
The windows on the ground floor were built up, the ball door
doubly barricaded outside, the sashes of the windows on the
drawing-room floor were taken out, and large rocks of stones
placed on the sills, ready to be hurled on the heads of any
who might attempt to force the door. Men and women
' filled the windows, shouting out Carrickshock,' and cry-
ing out No surrender.' Mr. and Mrs. Maunsell were
quietly walking about the lawn, and refused on several
remonstrances to give up possession. The sheriff, with
his bailiff and a few of the police, then commenced the
eviction of the under tenants, and twenty-two poor
men, with their wives and families, peaceably gave
up possession in form, and wire permitted to go in
again to their dwellings as care-takers. Near four o'clock
Mr. Going again appeared before the house, and by this time
a dense mass of people were con,grega'ed on the side of an
adjacent hill, looking on. The bailiffs were sent to the side
of the house in order to make a breach in the wall, when a
shower of stones saluted them, but without injury—a can
of boiling water was thrown on one of the sheriff's men,
which scalded his neck severely. Mr. G. again appealed to
Mr. Maunsell, telling him that he ghoul 1 be compelled to fire
upon the unfortunate occupants of the house, but without
effect. He was reckless and determined, and would not give
up. The party inside the house were then told that the
military and police would fire upon them if they held out a
moment longer, but these unfortunate inebriated dupes,
maddened with the drink they had been supplied with,
vociferated the louder, Carrickshock,' and No surrender.'
The police fired over the house to intimidate them, but it
was no use ; ultimately two shots were fired, and two persons
instantly fell dead upon the spot. The sheriff again appealed
to Mr. Maunsell, and asked him did he wish to see more lives
lost, when he at length yielded, and went to the front of the
house and ordered the inmates to surrender.

"One of the persons inside, named Margaret Butler, the
moment the young female fell went to her body and covered
her hands with blood, held them out to the view of the
people assembled on the hill, crying out 'Blood! blood! Car-
rickshock I Carrickshock I'

" The people were then seen moving onward—but the
precaution taken by the military, who were ordered to prime
and load, checked any further advance. Mr. Maunsell then
went to the front of the house and called upon Margaret
Butler to surrender—and shortly after an entrance was
effected. There were five persons only found inside when the
sheriff got in—who were all committed to Newport Bride-
well, one notorious character named Shinners, of whom the
police were in search for the last three months, was seen in
the window, but was nowhere to be found. By accident
the sheriff on coming through the yard looked into
a stable in which was a loft, and on looking up
through a crevice in the floor he perceived a stir, and
calling in a policeman they discovered Shinners. One
of the five persons committed to Bridewell stands charged
with shooting at Mr. Brown, Lord Bloomfield's steward,
some months ago. In narrating the above we forgot to
mention that Doctor Twiss, who acts as agent to this pro-
perty, several times offered Mr. Maunsell to let him in
again as care-taker, and give him his own time for re-
moval—but he was obdurate. We have also learned that
workmen were employed for the last three weeks in barri-
cading the place. On Mr. Mannsell's part, however unwise
he was in refusing the possession, and in giving opposition
to the Queen's writ—an opposition that any sane man must
have seen would be fruitless—his case is this. He held 130
acres of land by a lease of lives renewable for ever, at the
very high rent of 21. 12s. per acre. On this land there was
no dwelling when he took it but a mud cabin. We also learn
that he built the house at a cost of 1,5001. or 1,6001., which
perhaps was the cause of his being in arrear one year and a
half. His landlord offered him 1001. for the quiet possession,
when he became in arrear, which he refused, trusting to the
present crop to relieve his embarrassment ; and he alleges
that it was in consequence of a railroad in contemplation, in-
tended to run near or through his land and house, he was
evicted, as compensation to considerable amount would be
made by the company for any damage."
The evidence of Mr. Going was essentially similar to the
above narrative.

Captain Pollard, in the course of his deposition, Mated that
the instructions of the military, when called upon in aid of
the civil power, were, when it became necessary for the
troops to fire, that they should do so effectively. Such were
the military orders, and he made the remark in order to show
that he was not actuated in refusing to fire over the house by
any brutal feelings upon the occasion.
Tke deceased were servants of Mr. Maunsell, Catherine
Gardner was in her 18th year, and Henry Boucher was about
22 years of age.
MURDER IN THE COUNTY CLARE.
A man named Cleary was brutally murdered as he was re-
turning from the fair of Ennistymon on Friday evening last,
in company with his brother, who was also most dreadfully
beaten, and lies in great danger. They were attacked by a
number of men who had been lying in wait for them, and
with whom they had no cause of dispute.
INTREPID AND SUCCESSFUL RESISTANCE.
On Sunday night last, eight or ten ruffians attacked the
house of Patrick Manogue, of Clonusker, in the parish of
Scariff, in search of fire-arms. A brave and determined re-
sistance was made by Manogue and his son, who not only
succeeded in repelling the party, but in capturing two of
them, named Bruslane and Wilson, who were committed to
Ennis gaol on Sunday, under an escort of police.
