10y. .. tg CLARE. ~. ~
On November 10 a report reached Ennis
of moonlighting outrage on the pre-
yious Saturday night at Ballyculliny,
near Corof1n. 1t appears chat about 10
o'clock the house of a small farmer nam
ed Peter Flanagan was raided, and two
gunshots were fired through the bedroom
window. The occurrence is attributed
to Flanagan having undertaken to look
after q. farm adjoining his own, on Lord
Inchiquin's property, from which the for
mer tenant was evicted some months ago.
Among the presentments at the last
Glare county large presentment SEES
sions, at Ennis, was an application from
the receiver of constabulary for 1855
los. 4d., half the expense OF extra police
in Clare, for the half year ending Sep
tember 80. The resolution of the last
grand jury was adopted, declaring that,
on the facts disclosed by it's committees
report, the County Clare was fairly en-
titled to a substantial increase in the
"free force Of consta'Dulary, and that
military should be again stationed In
the county. .
CORK.
During the late violent storms on the
Irish coast the newly-laid line Of tele-
graph cable from Crookhaven to the Fast
net Rock gave way, though only recently
ago similar venture was made, and a
line OF cable laid down; but it soon proved
a folorn hope, such is the strength of
the tide current and the fury of the waves
washing around. The cable which has
now given way was laid down solely for
naval defense purposes; but the Ship
Owners Association of the United King
dom. as well as the harbor boards of
Cork and elsewhere, were endeavOring
through their members of parliament to
induce the government TO permit of YES
sells being reported from it; but so far
without any definite results; and now the
matter u.s. for the present, knocked on
the head.
On November 90, Mary Heating, be-
longing to the vicinity of Youghal, who
had landed at Queenstown from the White
Star steamer Majestic, was charged at

ing to smuggle one pound of tobacco and

manufacture, on which duty had not been
paid. The articles were found in her
trunk after she had stated she had moth
ing liable to duty. She was fined IS. 3d.,
being the single value and duty, and IS.
3D.. costs. The tobacco and spirits were
forfeited. 4at
