Dowager of Ormond, at liallynacourty,- near Kansas,
was assailed by six armed men, who, in a moat 1)e-
-reniptory manner, demanded his arms, he declared he
had none, but those belonging to Lady .Ormond,
which be would surrender only with his life. On this,
they fired into tibe.house, and were very near shooting
his wife, who was in her confinement. He returned
the fire, on which they departed, but returned in about
two hours, with an increased party, and again de-
manded his arms, when he gave the same answer as be-
fore. They then attacked the door with a sledge, and
fired in through the window-shatters. Hinchy re-
turned the fire, when they went to the rear of the
house with crow-bars and sledges, to ;sake. an inlet
there, while another party fired occasional shots
through the 'loons and windows. Hinchy still con-
tinued firing, and after some time they thought lit to
depart, asking him for 2s. fid. to buy powder, which
he also refused.
