Of man named McKcown, who holds
some boycotted land near Cong,
charged a boy about 12 years OF age,
named Holan, with assaulting him, on
the Sth OF October, by hitting him on

r. G. Crosby, the present landlord and
occupier, who, it appears, is now anxious
to dispose of his interest as tenant. The
commodious dwelling house was erected
