(room tits DUBLIN MORNING POST, DEC. B.]
Airsin AT NINAOII.IIII the Morning Post of yes-
*any we inserted, from a Limerick paper, &statement
of 4 very unpleasant affair which occurred at Nemigh
hetween some country people and a party of yeomanry,
vhswere on duty in the town. The following letter,
Vick reached us yesterday, gives an account somewhat
Merest from that of the Limerick paper :
" Nenagh, Dec. 6, 1921.
" 1 bad not time yesterday to give you the particu-
lars of the attack made by the yeomen upon the country
mple is this town. It was a most wanton piece of
litioness; there were about five of the country people
returning home at seven o'clock at night ; as they
passed one of the yeomen they asked what o'clock
it was. The yeoman gave an offensive answer;
this produced a retort from the countrymen; who,
however, continned their way inward. But the
yeoman, it seems, over hearing some words as they were
going off, which were not very complimentary to the
corps,' called out the guard, composed of his comrades;
they immediately pursued the country people as far as
the Pound, when they fired upon them; the shots
took effect. A boy named John Ryan was shot in
the elbow ; a son of Michael Walsh, of Beleen,
was hit in the finger, and a third boy was wounded
slightly on the hip. Tlie boy, Ryan, has had liis arm
amputated ; he is under cure in a house in Pound-street.
but not as a prisoner ; from which it would appear that
he is charged with ro crimp. Any body else who might
happen to he in the street at the time of the firing might
jest as well have been wounded or killed as the country
boys—but you know these yeomen are all Orangemen.'
Such is the statement that has been communicated to
es. On a very recent occasion we expressed an opinion
on the calling out of the Yeomanry; every circumstance
that has since come to our knowledge only confirms us
in what we then stated.
* The letter gives the exact words used by both parties,
but which we do not think it necessary to repeat.—Eorron.

to the severe weather.

wounded, is now considered by his physicians out of

On Saturday night, the. Stage-house, occupied by
Mr. Lynch, at Kilmastalt, county Tipperary, was at-

their faces covered ; one of them presented a blunder-
buss at him, and told him to deliver his arms; but
Baxter said he had none. They then swore bim as to
the truth of what he said ;—they also swore him if he
knew of any arms in the neighbourhood. One of
'heart discharged a pistol as they went off.
