    3. AGRARIAN OUTRAGE AND ATTEMPT TO MURDER.--At six o'clock on the morning Sunday the 17th ult., an armed party, consisting of five persons, attacked the dewlling-house of Daniel Reilly, situate in the townland of Glasscarrick, near the village of Ballingah, in this county, and after breaking the door and effecting an entrance in to the house one of them fired at, and wounded Reilly so severely, as to seriously endanger his life. This outrage was perpetuated upon him by these lawless ruffians, who are supposed to be Ribbonmen or Mollymaguires, on account of his recently taken a farm out of which the farmer was evicted. The Lords Justices have issued a proclamation which has been posted up throughout the county, offering a reward of £80 for the apprehension and conviction of the perpetrators of this outrage. John M'Cullagh, Esq, R.M., stationed at Arva, and the constabularly of the district are using the most strenuous exertions to discover the delinquents and render them accountable to Justice. -------------------------------------------- COUNTY CAVAN NEWSPAPER TRANSCRIPTION PROJECT http://www.sierratel.com/colinf/genuki/CAV/Newspapers/Project.html
