THE CONNAUGHT JOURNAL Galway, September 6, 1824 PROVINCIAL NEWS ENNIS, SEPT 2 - On Wednesday last, six stand of arms, surrendered at the Tomgreeny Petty Sessions, by Mr. Fitzgibbon, agent to Lord Dunboyne, were sent into the depot in this town by the Rev. H.B. Huleatt, one of the presiding Magistrates, together with two stand, taken up by the latter gentleman in the Counties of Clare and Galway. The 22d ult. was appointed for a hurling match between the parishes of Kilbarron and Mountsea, in the County Tipperary, (from which parishes the Insurrection Act has been but recently withdrawn) and Clonrush, in the County of Galway, to be decided on the lands of Lannamahoon, within a short distance of the glebe of the Rev. Mr. Huleatt, to whom the latter parish belongs. This active Magistrate, considering that it would not be prudent, in the present disturbed state of the peace, to offer such an extensive meeting as this was intended to be, to take place, called upon a serjeant and ten of the police stationed at the White Gate, and proceeded to the place. He endeavoured to persuade the people of his parish, who were assembled to the number of five hundred, waiting for their opponents, to return to their homes, assuring them that they would not be allowed to hurl that evening. They did not offer much opposition, but still would not consent to go home. The lands of Lannamahoon are on the Shannon side, and about six o'clock the river appeared covered with cots transporting the Tipperary hurlers across. The convoy consisted of 32 cots and a turf-boat - so that, when the cargoes were discharged, there were about one thousand men at the meeting. On the landing of the Tipperary men, the people at the other side met them wit a shout of welcome, shook hands with them and informed them of the intended prevention of the hurling. Both immediately formed one body, armed themselves on the beach with stones, and advanced furiously on the Police. Anxious to prevent a riotous mob to such an amount from coming in contact with so small a party of Police, Mr. Huleatt, at the risk of his life, rode considerably in advance towards them, and intreated them to disperse peaceably. They disregarded the advice, threatened him in the most violent manner, and fell upon him and the police with the stones they had collected. In an instant, a respectable Protestant parishioner who accompanied his Clergyman, was nearly knocked off his horse - the Reverend Gentleman himself had his arm and side desperately battered, and the Police were wounded in every direction. They were then about to rush in upon the party, when the Police begged permission to fire in defence of their lives, which were in imminent danger. This could not be refused; and eight shots, which were so directed as to cause no injury, had the effect of completely routing the mob, and preventing consequences, probably of a fatal nature, which generally attended meetings of this description, when uncontrolled by the presence of persons cable of preventing them. The following is a literal copy of the inscription on a sign-board hanging in fronts of a cellar in the Old Town of Limerick: - "Lodgings and kettles boiled at all seasonable hours. Jack Meehan gives notice to the public that he will supply a hundred a-day, to drink tea, at all hours in the day; you will be attended nice and clean, in the cellar at the end of the lane, without delay." We understand that in consequence of the delicate state of the health of the Right Rev. Dr Sug??e, his Coadjutor Bishop, the Right Rev. Dr. Egan, has undertaken the duty of Visitation throughout the diocess. The Earl of Bantry having learned that Dr. Egan was to ???? a Visitation on Thursday week in the district of Glengariffe, where his Lordship has a most beautiful lodge, immediately addressed a letter for invitation to Dr. Egan, soliciting him to make the lodge his residence whilst in that part of the country. This letter was conveyed through the Parish Priest; to whom also a letter was written by the Noble Earl, desiring the Reverend Gentleman to consider the lodge as his house whilst his Bishop would remain. This hospitable and attentive mark of Lord Bantry's kindness was too flattering not to meet acquiescence, and we learn that Dr. Egan made the lodge his abode for a day or two, where the Noble proprietor had forwarded not only the choicest wines, but every other delicacy which Seafield-Park so bountifully affords.-- Cork Chronicle. A CAUTION TO THE PUBLIC - We caution the inhabitants of this town how they expose themselves to any sort of contact with persons labouring under contagious distemper - such as fever, plagues or consumption - and that they carefully avoid taking colds, rheumatisms, cattarahs, gouts, head-aches, belly-aches and back-aches, as well as all sorts of acute or chronic diseases, which may require the attendance of a Physician; there being now no less than twelve Doctors, Surgeons, Men-midwives, and Apothecaries, practising in the small town of Carlow! -- Carlow Post. A Friary, to be dedicated to St. Francis, has been commenced in Henry-street, Limerick, nearly opposite the Police-office. The foundation has been sunk, and the work is to proceed immediately.
