were rescued Iroin them by a nunth,r of armed
country peop:e, and, melancholy to state, several of
the soldiers ate very dingsr(Aisly weanided. Gene-

GALLAWT CONNXT.—On the night of Sattird.iy
last, an armed party, consisting of above Rye:Ay fel-
lows, came to the house of Thomas all me, tattner,
on the lands of Ardpadruig, in the County of Lime-
rick ; they required the door to he opened, which
being refused, they demanded I):llane's horse, he
answered that his horse was in the st.tl.l,f ; they then
demanded his saddle and bri.11.., he that

he had lent them to one or li's neighbours. y
were unwilling to believe him, and set fire to the
'house. Thomas I)illane, and his two lumbers, who
were in the house, considering th it they might as well
die abroad as remain within to be burned, rits!ied
out, two of them armed with pitch rks, and the
third with a shovel—they engaged with the party
abroad. wounded two of them, one in the head and
the other in the belly, and having secured these and
another, they remained uninjured vic,nrs in the con.
test, for the others AM in vari:-us directions. A p irty
of the 84th regiment, with Mr. Win. Gub:ins, most
promptly hastened to Ardpadruig, and c-nveyed the
fellows, who are named Barrie, TorAy, and Riordan.
to Killinane bi idewell, where they are committed by
G. W. Bennett, Esq.—and we are happy to say that
one of them has given much information, such as we
understand will completely break 'gyp the gangs, and
restore tranquillity to the neighbourhond or Knout,.
lock and Kiltinane, wliii.h have lately been scenes of
continued nightly disturbance.—(Cor4 Mercantile
