table man named John Overend we
of Louth, from the mark(

returning home to the vill4
of Dundalk, be was met by two men, at a pla

•
Knockhridge. Having passed by him, they suddenly
turned round, when one of them discharged a pistol at
him, lodging the contents (slugs) in the smell of his hack.
Overend fell to the ground immediately, and the miscre-
ants, believing they had taken his life, decamped. We
understand that he had a pistol in his pocket at the time,
but from the suddenness of the attack he was unable to
use it. The slugs have since been extracted by Dr.
Brunker, and we are happy to state that Overend is not

very dangerously wounded: He was employed as a bailiff
on the estate of the Rev. Arthur Clive, in the county of
1, of which Graham Johnston, Esq., of Dundalk, is
. Two persons have been arrested on suspicion by
the Louth police, and lodged in Dundalk gaol.—Louth
