:PPERARY ELECTION.-DREADFUL WORK

(From the Dublin Evening Packet.)

JULY 12.—An atrocious and savage outrage was this
day perpetrated upon a body of gentlemen, who were
proceeding to Clonmel, for the purpose of recording their
votes for Messrs. Maude and Barker. The party, which
amounted to forty-one persons, left Roscrea at half-past
four o'clock in the morning, and proceeded pretty quietly
as far as Kilcooley Abbey (the seat of Mr. Barker), when

they halted for a short time ; on again setting forth they
were reinforced by a few policemen. They arrived
without any important interruption as far as a place called
" Birmingham," when a formidable mob were perceived
posted on the brow of the hill, and fields, and ditches
surrounding which were exceedingly high, and completely
lined with the peasantry. They had evidently been
arranging a systematic and murderous attack, for, on
turning an angle of the road, several cars, laden with
coals, were found completely drawn across the road, faced
and flanked with stone barricades, and surrounded by at

least 1000 of the mob, thany of them nearly naked, and
every one of them armed with large stones and other mis-
siles. The gentlemen immediately left the carriages and
proceeded to remove the barricades amidst the yells,
hootings, and clouds of stones, many of which took
effect ; nevertheless, the gentlemen intrepidly forced the
barricades, and beat back the mob—not, however, before
the riot act was read, and the police and party, quite in

leir own defence, were obliged to fire upon them. This

alternative was avoided until the most brutal treatment
was inflicted upon the party. The mob having been
beaten back, and the passage cleared, the carriages were
regained and the cavalcade had resumed their route,
when an alarm was given from the extreme rear that
some freeholders had been dragged off the hinder cars
and were savagely attacked, when the party again quitted
the carriages and rushed to the rescue of the police, who
were engaged with the people, and endeavouring to save
the lives of a few old and defenceless freeholders. On
coming up to the rioters, two old gentlemen, named Cor-
coran and Davis, were found lying on the ground, and
the savages brutally beating them with stones. Again
they were beaten back by another ♦olley from the police
and the party ; but on returning to look for the carriages,

he mob had literally smashed them to pieces. Two of
he horses were lying dead on the road, and the drivers
n full retreat. Here there appeared no alternative but
:o return to Kilcooley Abbey, which was effected by the
party fighting their way, inch by inch, for a considerable

part of the road. We regret to state the humane anxiety
to avoid an unnecessary sacrifice of life, and which was
the first object of the gentlemen comprising the party,
even in the midst of such a fearful scene, was not as
effectual as we could wish, as several of the peasantry

were severely wounded ; however, before a shot was
fired, very many of the gentlemen were knocked down.
The greatest credit is due to the magistrate who com-
manded the police, and to the gentlemen, for the coolness
and forbearance they exhibited.
P. S.—Two of the gentlemen injured are in great dan•
ger. Mr. Davis has lost his eye, and Mr. Corcoran nar.
rowly escaped being murdered, as one of the ruffians whc
knocked him off the car, rifled him of his pistols, an(
fired one of them at his head, but the bullet of whit]
only perforated his bat. He is now lying at Kilcoolcy
in a state of extreme weakness.
