ENNIS, DEC. 24.—'Mondav sennight the fol-
lowing Magistrates met at Titlla,
I-lon. Vesey Fitzgerald, M.P. in the Chair ; James
Winne)+, ilrowne, Francis Lloyd, Robert Westropp,
John O'Callaghan, Thomas Studdart, Henry Butler, Rev.
Sir William Read, Bart. Lich,. Comyn, Steele, and C.
Esqrs,
Thvy assemhled in consequence of the follow-
ing letter from Government :

" Dublin Castle, Dec. it, 1817.
" Strt,—lt appearing from a representation lately received
thronat the Commander at the Forces, that on the 19th ult„.
a party of tie !,13d regitnent, under the command of Lieut.
M'Keozie, was called out from Tonag•ranny, liv Mr. Nloloney,
a 1.114 h Constable, to assist in the execution of a civil service,
and that in course of their pro,:ee.l.ngs they were caaipelied
to ire in their own defence, by which some lives were unfor-
tunately hest : I ant commanded by the Lord Lieutenant to
observe, that the aid of the troops would seem to have been
required by, and granted to a Constable, in the present in-
stance, eon';rat yto the General Order of the :Bth of Feb.,
1817, and that if a Magistrate had attended, he would pro-
bably have had the discretion to require the assistance of a
larger force, which would have prevented, in all probability,
any attempt at a rescue. Under these cimunstances, it
ppears to be essential that this matter should be most
nuns lely investigated, and that it should satisfactorily he
asc'eftained why the power of calling upon the troops
on 'this occasion was exercised by an individual who did
not appear to be entitled to demand such aid. It will,
therefore, be very desirable that you should attend a meeting
of the Magistrates of your Barony, which is to be held at
Tuna, on or about the 15th instant, in order that they may
make, in enniunction with the General Officer of the District,
or such Field Officer as may he selected for the purpose by
Ceorge Beckwith, a strict inquiry into the circumstances
comnected with this case, and report the result to Government.
" I have the honour to be, fez.
" ROBERT PEEL

Magistrate."
The investigation continued until Thursday
evening, when the depositions of the persons ex-
amined, with a report thereon, were forwarded
to Government. Colonel Broluhead, command-
ing; the garrison of Limerick, attended the meeting.
On Monday last, the meeting of the Magistratet,
was resumed at Tulla, when the 1118htlion. .

Vesey Fitlzerald, M. P. took the chair. General
Bronihead attended on- this occasion, as he did on
the former investigation, and the business of the
daYli,roreeded with great and becoming solem-
nity. Every Magistrate present appeared actuated
by an imperions sense of duty, and evinced the
most lively solicitude for the attainment of justice.
A number of witnesses were examined, whose de-
positions, we presume, will be forwarded to Go-
vernment, as they were not promulgated beyond
the meeting.—( Ennis Chronicle.)
