Tuesday se'nnight an armed party of rebels, exceeding
200, marched in military order into the populous village of Tubber,
adjoining this county, under the command of a Captain, who in
due form halted his men in front of the house of a respectable far-
mer of the name of Forde, in the centre of the village, and within
a mile of a police station, and instantly summoned Forde to appear,
which not being promptly complied with, Forde's door was forced
open, and he was dragged out in presence of the Captain, and
obliged to kneel and beg for life, several guns being presented at
him. Forde was then sworn to quit, and give up next day at 12
o'clock, half a farm of land in this county, immediately adjoining
Tubber, which Forde had taken from Mr. Butler, of Ballyline, ao
far back as two years last May, the former tenant, named Kilkelly,
not being able to pay the rent of the whole farm. After the cere-
mony was over, the Captain addressed the people of the village
who bad assembled, and declared the law to be, that any man who
had been removed from lands within the last five years should be
forthwith restored, or death should follow. This speeeh was re-
ceived with cheers. The party fired 13 shots, and departed towards
the county Galway, from whence thiy came. Next day poor
Fordo was obliged to remove his stock off these lauds, and aban-
Jon his tillage.—Clare Journal.
DILIBERATS AND WANTON Our arne.—As a servant man of Mr.
Edward Gutridge, Nurseryville, was walking peaceably from a
farm belonging to his master, at Drumlion, within one mile of this
town, about 12 o'clock (noon) on Tuesday last, he was attacked
by two fellows witb bludgeons, and beaten in a most savage man-
ner. Acts of this kind are of" such common occurrence, and the
motives and principles which actuate the perpetrators have become
so notorious, that it is almost needless for us to inform our read-
ers that the man is a Protestant, and his assailants Papists.—Fer-
managh Reporter.
On the night of Monday week last, a band of the " Agrarian
Youth" attacked a small farmhouse near the Floate, in the parish
of Street, in this county, and set it on fire in several places. It
was burned almost to the ground. The cause of the outrage was
the ejection of the former tenant for non-payment of rent —West-
meath Journal.
A very daring and unprovoked outrage was committed on a
policeman named O'Connell, who, with his sergeant, was proceed-
ing to their station at Kilmanahan, on Saturday evening, between
seven and eight o'clock, from the market of Min& O'Connell,
seeing a person apparently in a dyke, supposed bim to be one Mul-
lowney, and called out to him, saying that his (Mullowney's) wife
was with them, and safe. He had scarcely uttered these words
when the fellow aimed a stone at the constable's head, which
brought him to the ground. O'Connell's son instantly sprung on
his father's assailant, and succeeded in knocking the ruffian down,
but he ultimately effected his escape, leaving his hat in the posses-
sion of the constable's son. O'Connell is confined to his bed from
the ill-usage he received on the occasion.—Camissel Advertiser.
At the fair of Caher, on Friday, business was extremely dull,
and consequently prices of all descriptions of cattle were on the
decline. In the evening the Tipperary Staff and Police were called
out by John Chaytor, Esq. to quell a riot between two drunken
factions, eighteen of whom were taken into custody. A party of
the Queen's Bays, under Lieutenant Tobin, came into town about
six o'clock, but the affray had been in the mean time quelled by
Mr. Chaytor's commendable exertions. A Bench of Magistrates
were specially summoned next day, before whom the rioters were
tried, when twelve of them were sentenced to various terms of
imprisonment in the County Gaol, which they reached on Satur-
day, under a strong escort.
Saturday evening two men named Cahill, with whom the quar-
rel at the fair originated on the preceding day. were attacked near
Mr. Goning's mill, and dreadfully beaten, while driving home some
sheep.—Did.
Monday night some vagrants threw stones at, and broke two
panes of glass in the guard-house window of the Ordnance Bar•
rack, and pitched stones over the barrack-yard wall, on the centi-
nel's post inside; they then ran away and escaped.—lbid.
