1-10-1828 From the Clonmel Herald. Thousands upon thousands of Ribandmen congregated in this town (Clonmel) in Tipperary, and in Fethard, on Sunday last. Several came here from Clogheen, well mounted, and under the command of an ostler belonging to the innkeeper of Clogheen. The party belonging to this town was commanded by Con. O'Neill, whose former acquaintance with Mary Kelly, the prosecutor of the murderers of the Sheas, enabled him to swear that she was not able to know the difference between turkey and hen eggs. When the Clogheen party arrived at the turnpike at Marlfield, their commander informed the keeper of the gate that Mr. Grubb, of Clogheen, would pay for all the horsemen; a horse or two of Mr. Grubb's, were seen on this interesting occasion. As they passed a Protestant Clergyman, who was on his way to his Church, they hissed him to such a degree that he became quite alarmed for his safety. The Clonmel flag, which measured 8 feet by 11 feet, exhibited a daub, representing his Majesty offering Emancipation to O'Connell, who was represented by another daub on the same flag; having, also, the words "Peace to men of good-will"--good will, we suppose to be the Liberator's cause; on the reverse was a harp without a crown. He was represented on a lesser flag as trampling under foot Emancipation, fettered with the wings proposed by himself in 1825, over the daub representative of O'Connell, were the words "God save the King". Mr. O'Connell's band so called, attended. On Market Hill, outside Fethard, the concourse was immense; one of our venerable Judges happened to be in the neighbourhood, and had the curiosity, or some better motive, to ride up to see them. A few, under the command of one Meara, a Publican, and a process server of the name of Quinlan, marched from Cashel, to join the forces in Tipperary. As they rode of they met the funeral of a man of the name of Woodlock, who the preceding Sunday, attended the meeting in Killenaule, mounted on a horse belonging to Mr. Richard Phillips, which he took without permission, off the lands of Lagganstown, near which the deceased had resided; the horse, however, had more regard for the Sabbath than his rider, and, to show his displeasure, gave him so violent a fall that he died on the following Friday. In the course of the day, a man from Donisokeigh, having issued from one of the Public Houses in Cashel in rather too talkative a mood, was seized by two fellows of the name of Healy and Ryan, who took him to one of the pumps, and pumped him well, to the great danger of his life, several in this town, too, underwent the same punishment. Patrols, selected from the Riband men in all these towns, paraded the streets in the night, for the purpose of keeping the streets quiet. In this town (Clonmel) the military and police were so judiciously placed that, on the slightest affray, or attack on the loyal, who are kept in constant dread of their lives by such exhibitions of Roman Catholic strength and excitement, they were ready to afford more than sufficient security. No injury occurred, though several evinced their willingness of mind to perform any crusade pointed out to them, by shouting out they had the overhand of the Sassenachs, and they would keep it. In Cahir, several had their lives endangered by being ducked in the river, to which they were drawn by means of ropes---One unfortunate man, who cried out that he cared neither for O'Connell, nor for Mr. Baker, nor for the Fennels, was ducked till he begged pardon for speaking so disrespectfully of Mr. O'Connell. By direction of the Rev. Mr. Flannery P.P. his curate in this town lectured the people severely on these proceedings, and warmly cautioned them against a repetition of them, several of his hearers, however, said he went to far, now that the Almighty was on their side; but no wonder, they added, as he receives 50/. A year from the Government, as Chaplain to the Gaol. On Sunday night last a number of men entered the house of a poor man, of the name of Brien, who lives at Kiln, in the suburbs of Cashel, next to the rock, and beat him so savagely with stones, his skull is fractured; he was taken next morning to the infirmary, where he lies with very little hope of recovery. They also beat two boys who happened to be in the house at the time. Last week the house of Terence Byrne, near Thurles, was set on fire and totally consumed. The furniture of the house, the wearing apparel of the inmates, and a large quantity of wheat, shared the same fate. The family most narrowly escaped with their lives. This man had been selected as a victim by the Liberators of the County, because he was concerned in a prosecution. About 12 O'clock on last Monday night some of the conspirators, who assemble every night in the streets of Cashel, flung a large stone with dreadful violence at Mr. Upton's door and broke a window over it.
