A dreadful occurrence took place yes
terday, seven miles east of Bandon, be-
tween The Clonakilty Yeomanry. under
the command of Captain Hungerford, and
about BOO of the peasantry. The revenue
officers in Clonakilty having had private
information of an illicit distillery, pro.
ceeded to the spot with the Yeomanry,
made the seizure, and took the owner of
the still, named Buckley land another man
whom they found at work, prisoners, As
soon as the circumstance was known, the
country people assembled to the number
Of BOO, and manifested every indication
.. hostile spirit by Immediately cons
mencing throwing stones, and were about
10 rescue the prisoners and the still, when
Capt. Hungeriord demonstrated with, and
cautioned them at their peril to desist, o.
therwise he would, if attacked, shoot the
prisoners. This injunction had not the
desired effect; the country people CONT
nued to bear on him. and shower the stones
on the party; on which, we are sorry to
say the threat was put 10 execution, and
Buckley was killed on the spot. As he
was tied to the other man, both tell toga-
Their, on which it was supposed that they
met the same fate. A general attack then
took place, when the yeomansy cred up
wards OF sixty rounds, and drove the coun-
try people in all directions. They then
proceeded with their charge TO Clouakllty
and lodged the still in the Kings stores,
and secured their prisoner without further
moestation. The gentleman who tufniah-
ed us with this information, lett Clonakil-
ty at three o'clock, and was overtaken on
on the road by two gentlemen who did
not leave it for some lime afterwards, and
VINO informed him, that horns were sound
ing on the different hills. and that the peo-
pie were congregated together, in great
numbers. with the evident intention OF
making anotherattack. We have MT heard
of the number of the country people who
have suffered, but from the shots fired. it
is supposed many must have been killed
and wounded. On the 18th inst. Arthur
Beamish Bernard, Esq. commanding the
EastCarbery Yeomanry, proceeded thro'
the intricate s. mountainour country lead
to the Slecyowen, near Incheeseela, and
there succeeded in apprehending John
Donovan, one Of the men wounded on the
morning of the 7th in the affair which
took place in the village Of Newcestown.
Captain B. also made prisoner Edward
