The Sun.
London, England, 1867-03-09 00:00:00

as 500, but it was impossible to state accurately,
the night was so dark—drew up before the sta-
tion, after having been directed by some per-
son, in stentorian tones, to attack the police-
station at once. Some persons called upon the police
to surrender. The party had come in with baggage;
all the meu seemed to wear haversacks containing
provisions, and, as well as the police could see them
through the windows, they had rifles and fixed
bayonets, which they carried " sloped," in true mi-
litary style. They knocked several times at the door
of the barracks ; receiving no reply, they com-
menced firing, the bullets entering pretty thickly
through window shutters, &c. The Fenians called
out to the villagers, who looked out of their win-
dows, to keep in their heads. The police returned
their fire with interest, and it is thought with effect.
The Fenian leader, Timothy Daly (who had come
on from Middleton), was found when the party bad
departed lying dead about ten p,rches from the bar-
rack, in the line of retreat. He would seem to have
been shot through the body, near the heart. He
wore grey trousers, blue jacket and vest (all plain),
and a square-peaked cap. Round his waist was a
leather belt and case, intended for a revolver, and
over his shoulder was a strong canvas haversack,
containing bread. It was fastened with a gilt
button, bearing a harp. He had dropped a seven-
chamber revolver where he was shot.

The party retreated immediately after Daly was
shot, and were pursued towards the bridge by the
police, but they made a stand, forming a breast-
work at the bridge, and the police thought it more
prudent to return to their quarters.
After leaving Castlemartyr the Fenians called at
the houses of the Rev. Mr. Halloran, Mr. Newton
(farmer), William Ahern, and Thomas Gould, from
all of whom they demanded and obtained arms.
They took a pistol from a man named Thomas Hen-
nessy at Lady's-bridge.

The line of retreat of the united Fenian forces of
this district is concluded to be over the hills south
of Killeagh, near which station the railway telegraph
wire was cut. The point for which the insurgents
are supposed to have departed is Tallow, in the
county of Waterford, but beyond Killeagh there are
no tidings of them.
On Wednesday morning a young man, named
Thomas Cullinane, rode through this village
mounted upon a horse which one of the coastguard
has identified as that ridden by the leader of the
Knockadoon Fenians. He was at once arrested, and
in his possession were found some coffee, a bag of
salt, some biscuits, and 39 bullets. He is supposed
to have been proceeding to the Fenian camp. He
was conveyed to Middleton, where he is at present
confined. The four prisoners arrested in Middleton
were brought before a number of magistrates, in-
cluding Messrs. S. French, T. Garde, C. O'Brien,
&c., and remanded.

An attack was expected on the town of Tipperary,
the telegraph wires betwee❑ it and the Limerick
Junction being cut. Major Greene, who commands
at the latter point, despatched last night some horse
artillery, escorted by cavalry and infantry, to rein-
force the garrison of Tipperary. There is nothing
more about the fighting at Clonmel than what I sent
you last night by telegraph.
