DREADFUL (I'M h Or. AT BALLINAS-

CORNEY.

(From Saunders' Dail, News Leiter of Fri,inv.)
A poor man, named John Kearns, who, as
we understand, was a stranger in that part of the
country, became the tenant to two acres and a-
half of land, formerly used as commonage-. • •He,
not conceiving that he. should meet with the
slightest molestation from any of his neighbours,
built a small cabin on the land, and was suffered
to enjoy his holding peaceably up to Sunday
evening last, vthen, shortly after he had retired
to rest with his family a body of men, about tell
or twelve in number, burst in his cabin door,
seized him by the legs, anti dragged him to the
outside, where they stripped him naked, and
while in that situation beat him so severely with
lbo whips,d gauisttil the
mb u th-iesn
nose,c s of m fio ruet-ha,ramnsd,
that
ed
the
ears ; they then put a rope round his neck, and
dragged him naked as he was along the ground
(asking as they went on, "how dare he come
there ?") several perches from .his habitation.
Whilst a select party of these ruffians were per-
petrating these acts of barbarity, several others
forced his wife out of her bed, although the poor
creature wag in an advanced state of pregnancy,
half stripped her and beat her across tile
thighs and body with some heavy weapon,
Being determined that no member of the family
should escape their vengeance, these execrable
ruffians dragged Kearns's four children, who'
were asleep in a corner of the cabin, out of their
beds, brought them to an old wall, where they
had left the mother in a state of dreadful ex-

haustion, and in her presence beat and mal-
treated them in the most cruel manner—in _a e
mean time a number of the party were busily
employed in stripping the roof, and levclliu
Kearns s cabin, which they nearly destroyed 'in
the space of . half an hour. All those fellow 4,
with. the exception of one or two, were armed,
and in the course of the transaction, fired seve-
ral shots.. Two of the ruffians took aim at the
unfortunate wife and children of Kearns, wh6
were lying in a nearly dying state under the.
wall we mentioned, when one man less savage
than his comrades, cried out " you, don't
kill the children," and fortunately struck up the
barrels of both pistols with his arm, just ns the
fellows had pulled the triggers, in consequenco
of which the balls lodged in the wall a few inches
over the children's heads, They then„
folded Kearns, and led him by the rope which
was about his neck to the house of a man named

Timmins, about forty or fifty perches fro»:
Kearns's ground, and proceeded to strip the root'
of his house ; but owing to the entreaties of a
woman inside, who cried out for mercy, and re-
quested that she and her family should be per-
mitted to remain until the next day, when
promised that the premises should be vacated,
they desisted. The fellows then left Kearns
and his family to their .fate, and departed, firing
several vollies as they went ; but, perhaps, con-
sidering that-they had not fully completed theiv
business, they returned in a short time, and broke
the remainder of the-Wood work of the roof of
his cabin, after which they went off' in triumpk
Kearns who was removed into town as won an

his weak situation w °tilt] permit, having lodged
informations at the Head Office, the Magistrates,
with their usual promptitude, caused immediate
inquiries to I.)A made, and succeeded in appre-
hending two men named Thomas Sheridan, and
John Doyle, against whom they had information
of a very strong nature.
They were brought up yesterday for examina-
tion, and being identified, ate lay co;:,,,.itted for
trial.
