Nj. FHff had four men on the watch with guns,
and they had also small cannon, loaded with
mnsket- balls and marbles. The unionists came

They discharged a number of shots in the direc.

were harmless.

The cannon was so placed as to take the left

and it was afterward discovered that one OF
their body, brickmolder named John Redfearn
has been shot dead. He was found at daybreak
under one Of the walls of unburnt bricks which
he had apparently been destroying, in pool OF
blood. None of his accomplices has yet fallen
into the hands of the police, but Captain Shep

including Cork, Limerick. Tipperary, Clare aad
the midland counties, speak in the most cheering
terms of the progress of the harvest. and more
particularly of the vigorous appearance of the

disappeared in that district, and similar reports
