ARREST OF THOMAS CLONEY, ESQ. OF ORAIGUE,
COUNTY KILKENNY.
Friday morning, about nine o'clock, two officers from the
bead police office applied at Mr. Cloney's hotel and inquired
for him ; receiving for answer that he had not as yet left his
chamber, owing to his being somewhat indisposed, they po-
litely desired that he should Dot be disturbed until his usual
hour of rising, and said they would wait on him about twelve
o'clock, by which hour a number of gentlemen, having beard
of the circumstance, called on Mr. Cloney, and tendered
their services on the occasion. They all proceeded to the
bead police office, accenwanied by the two officers, where
Mr. Edward Murphy, the eldest son of the late Bryan
Murphy, Esquire, of Kennedy's-lane, in conjunction
with Mr. Andrew Tierney, of the house of Tierney, Bre-
there, and Co. Druggists, Skinner-row, entered into the
requisite securities lot Mr. Cloney's du appearance in
