Extract of a letter, dated Garaagh, 29th August. DM:—
" A few nights ago, four men from the neiohbourlsood
of Magliera, who had gone to Coleraine Market for barley,
sad were returning to Maghera, were attacked about Moe
o'clock in the evening, on their way hum. near Garuagh,
by a number of Orangemen to• the amount of twelve or
ups • rls, with their coats off, and armed with stinks, Who
commenced beating rod abusing them in a most dreadful
manner, and also abused their horses, cut their sacks, and
spilled their barley. There can be no reason assigned for
this outrage, hut that the poor men were Doman Catholics.
Young Mr. Sampson who resiides in the neighbourhood.
came up immediately after they were beaten, au l in the
kindest manner borrowed sacks for them, and assisted thew
in gathering up their barley, and aftertvarcia escorted theta
through this town, and a great part of their way boat •.
" This outrage occurred in the neighbourhood of .Nsi
John Knox, and Mr. Ogilby, both Magistrates, and it is
hoped exertions will- be made to discover the miscreant', as
it happened in a very populous part of the Country. It i•
'upraised the Orangemen were all or the greater nowther
of them bleachers from their diess.
" This system of waylaying and beating people coming
home from fairs and markets, seems to be pretty getwrally
adopted by the Orangemen since the unfort-unate occurrence
at :slagliera, as several were waylaid and beaten a few niglus
ago coming from Kilrea. But if the Alagistracv use pro-
per exertions, and act with impartiality, they wilt soots-inac
a stop ta this species of outrage. A poor Carawn of tin.
