the fellow spent a. portion of the day previous lurking

him a bill. of 'R7.4 for expenses inaerred on his behalf. The_
Captain, being by: this time warm. in his seat, either was

binder these circumstances. Kelly, judging: that what
was mace for the goose was sauce for the gender also,
.dlstramed forthwith.upon Green, and re-seized.his own
corn placed on Green's premises by Captain Ragan.
,Not relishing this counter-move the Captain resorted to a
--course still more eztpaordinary. He, a 3leloher of Parlia-
ment, a Justice of the Peace, and a tenant :vaguer, collected
a band of his " boya," sad attempted forcibly to rescue the
twice-Seized coru.from the hands of Kelly...- Following the
example of his superior and landlord, Kelly called together
his "boys" likewise, and a pitched battle -ensued, in which
the gallant Captain was routed, and one .of his followers
left dead on th,field. This was succmiedhy an appeal to
that force,—so _detestable in the eyes of honourable mem-
bers of Captain Magan's kidney,-the-British Military,—
the very t3-pa:and instrument of Ireland's bondage, and of
the hateful tyranny of the Sax.. . With. this aid,—behind
which Irish:as well as Mane.. -patriots never hesitate
to skulk at: a. pinch,—Captain a wan. had the satisfaction
of recovering. his . corn, and handing his vanquished foe
over tattle civil power on a charge of assault and murder.
What thoresult of a judicial inv,estigation into this tho-.
roughly:lrish and patriotic affair • may be, it is impossible:
to say-: nor have we the least wish to prejudge the ques-
tion. We give the story, as we find it in the Irish journals,
as a. remarkable illustration of the character of " the Irish,
Patriot at home," a farce which,—however melancholy its
dlitinceinent in Ireland,—might, if reproduced on a minor.
theatre, next season, hare no indifferent success, and
would, we should think_ prove particularly attractive, as
well as instructive, to members of Parliament. —Joan Bull.
