acts, we bear, have been committed through private ma-
lice, and were not connected with that general system
of devastation which is pursued in the neighboUring
counties.

for rent, on the estate of Counsellor Walahe, in the
neighbonrbood of Dungarees, were rescued, though

In the early part of this kt Mc the Claddegh pirates
have revived their former avocation of sending out
guard-boats to prevent the country boats from taking
herrings in the hay. Fifteen wen armed in one boat,
proceeded to rut all the sets theycoald meet, and hawing
an anchor hanging from the stern to drag them after-
wards amongst the rocks, and totally destroy them. In
their proceedings, having met with some opposi.
' tion, they heat an unfortunate poor man, named Peter
Bork,, who resides at Ballyloughane, the estate of Eras-
mus Smith, in so inhuman a manner as to leave him
for dead. Medical assistance has been afforded him,
sad we nod d that there is very little hopes of
his recovery. Warrants are issued for the apprehen-
sion of those offenders, and hopes would be-entertained
of their being secured, but that they have se many who
take • pride in sheltering them. The Board of Fisheries
should offer a reward for taking them, and every step
should be followed up to mark the public abhorrence of
such atrocities.

place near Caber on the night of Friday, the 27th ult.

shattered his arm dreadfully. His Aunt hastened to his
assistance, and was treated !lithe same sanguinary rise-
nsr by the banditti, her arm having been broken, and
otherwise maltreated. 'lnc same night they attacked
the houses of tour respectable farmers in the same neigh-
bourhood.
