• &ENRAGES IN IRELANI9.

On the evening of the Ist inst. was committed a
most audacious robbery. Immediately alter t
Prendergast, Esq. of Green-mount, and his family,
had dined, and as the servants were going to dinner,
the house was surrounded by a gang of plunderers,
of wLom six entered, and hustled the domestics into
the dining parlour with their master and mistress,
and their children, and Mrs. Heffernan (Mr. Pren-
dergast's sister). They placed a guard on the door,
and the rest went to the kitchen, where .they regaled

themselves, taking care to relieve the warms, and ;
give them their share of refreshment. The ss hole
then re-entered the parlour, and one of them peeing
a pistol to Mr. Prendergast's head, demand his keys
and property, promising, if he. would give them up
fifirly, that they would not injure any one. Mr. Pren-
dergast gave them his keys, and the villains conti-
nued ransacking the house for above
_lye hours, no:
departing until neatly one o'clock on Wednesday
morning. Many of the jewels were valuable, end A
great quantity of wearing apparel, of every descrip.
tion, was taken, every thing moveable and wearable
that they could convey away. The property lost
cannot well be estimated much short of a thousand
pounds. They offered no further violence. On um-
maging the drawers, they deliberately rejected seve
ral bank receipts of Mr. Prendergast, but took the
Government debentures and bank notes, and, upon
guess, took also some documents of Government-
stock. One of them left in guard of the family be.
low,while the ransack was making, indulged his t..ste
fur music, and trying a couple of flutes, on one of
which he played a tune or two, not at all in the style
of a vulgar musiantu, he gave the freference to that
hick had four si'ser keys to it. Complaining of
bLing fatigued, and wishing for some liquor, they de-
clined doing any thisch;rf in the cellar, and were sa.
tistied with a glass of good old whiskey. Three only
of them were disguised.
Air ACK (I}. ma CORK MAIL.—On the 4th inst.
at 11 o'clock at night, the mid-day coach, which left
Cerk the day belure, was attacked at Rockwell, near
Cashel, by some villains, who fired two shots at it, and
wounded the coachman in the breast, and a Gentle-
mans who was an outside passenger, in the head :
they are both in a dangerous way, the balls not having
been yet extracted. Immediately after the shots were
fired, the coachman turned the horses about, and ar-
rived at New lan in safety. It was only the day be-
fore the soldiers were removed that were stationed at

this place. The guards procured some dragoons, and
the mail•ba's were forwarded to Dublin. It is re-
markable, that the place in which the above outrage
was committed, is in the proclaimed Barony of Mid-
dlethird.
