ORANGE oUTRAGFS.

We have just heard. that on last Christ
mas night, body of Orangemen attacked
a Protestant Publican's house, of great re-.
spectability, near the town If Loughga
where some persons, mostly Catholics were
merry making. The Orangemen were arm.
ed with guns; they fired into the house,
wounded some, and greatly damaged the
property Of Paine, the Publican. What
will this end i6? About three and half
years ago similar attack was made on a
house in LoughgalI town. The Magistrates
were dilatory; gentleman of the neigh
borhood wrote to government; Mr.. GRECO
ry promptly noticed the information; the
magistrates we're obliged to do their duty;
the bills were found against several offen-
ders by the grand jury; yet some loyal men
collected money, and actually bought of
the evidence! The second outrage is to be
attributed TO the defeat of public justice by
the compromises of the former felony.
