We are sorry to have to state, the following depredations have been committed in the course of last week;- On Tuesday night last, the house of James Looby, of Kilfeacle, was broke open and robbed of 40 guineas. On Wednesday night, the house of John Kennedy of Meugh, was broke open by an armed banditti and robbed of 215/. In cash and bank notes, the earnings of many years honest industry, they treated the poor man, who is near 80 years of age, in the most cruel manner, to make him discover where his money was hidden, and on Thursday night the houses of Hickey and Kierwick, Farmers, were robbed and plundered, all the above are in the same neighbourhood, between Golden and Cappagh, the parties were never concerned in tythes. On Friday night, the house of John Rickham, at Grange turnpike, near Cashel, tythe proctor, was robbed of papers, a gun and two swords. 25-7-1820 Clonmel Assizes. On Thursday evening, Baron M'Clelland and Sergeant Burton arrived here from Waterford, and yesterday at 10 O'Clock, proceed to business. The following convictions have taken place;- Eleanor Sheehy, for robbery, to be confined for 6 months. Mary Warren and Eleanor Bateman, for stealing Bank Notes value, 90/. --to be transported for 7 years. Redmond Connors, for robbery, to be transported for 7 years. Daniel Campion, for conspiring to cheat, by circulating ten penny pieces, to be transported for 7 years. 18-7-1826 Clonmel Advertiser. At the fair of Kilfeacle on Monday, no business was done, on account of a tremendous riot between two factions under the titles of the Hickey's and the Hogan's, each party consisting of between three to four hundred men, armed with muskets, pistols, bayonets, scythes, etc. They had been making preparations for this affray a month before. It appears two men were killed, one a desperate character of the name of Duggan, who had been a corporal in the 34th foot, the one who suffered two years confinement in Clonmel Gaol for an felonious assault on a female child, and who deserted from that regiment since his liberation from prison. Mr. Thompson held an inquest on the body in Tipperary on Monday evening. Another man by the name of Trehy was also killed in the affray at Kilfeacle, and two men, of the names of Carey and Peters (the last named was lately arraigned under a charge of murder, at Clonmel Assizes), were wounded. The military from Tipperary, and the police from different stations, were on the spot in the morning, under the direction of Magistrates, who also attended the fair, to prevent the disorder; but as these went home early, the opposite factions came in contact, and battle and death ensued between the deluded wretches. Several wounded were supposed to have scrambled into the surrounding corn fields, and their numbers or condition were not known at the time our correspondents closed their letters.
