ANGLO-CELT NOVEMBER 3, 1848 ATTEMPTED MURDER An attempt was made this morning on the life of William Armitage MOORE, Esq., of Drumealis, the particulars of which have just reached us. As Mr. MOORE was on his way to Miltown, near Belturbet, to receive rents due by Lady ANNESLEY's tenants, his car was stopped by two fellows near Baker's-bridge, one of whom presented a pistol at Mr. MOORE's breast, and snapped it; fortunately the pistol missed fire, whereupon the two ruffians fled. Mr. MOORE, who was closely muffled up at the time, could not extricate a pistol which he carried in an inside pocket, until the fellows got to some distance; he then gave chase, joined by a clerk who accompanied him and the car-driver. The country people, it seems, gave them every obstruction in the pursuit, and assisted the would-be murderers in their flight. Before the fellows got out of sight, however, Mr. MOORE discharged three pistol shots at them, which, owing to the distance between them, did not seem to have taken effect. Mr. MOORE went immediately and alarmed the police in the neighbour- hood, as also the Cavan police, who at once set out to scour the country. At four o'clock, P.M., this eveing, a young fellow named KIERNAN, was brought a prisoner into Cavan. He was at once identified as the second person engaged in the outrage. ====================================================== CAVAN SPECIAL SESSIONS A Special Sessions was held at the Court-house, Cavan, on Tuesday, the 31st of October, for the purpose of electing two High Constables for the Collection of Grand Jury Cess in this county, in the place of Mr. John ROGERS and Mr. Thomas KNIPE, who resiged. Matistrates present--The Right Honourable Lord FARNHAM, K.P., William HUMPHRYS, Esq., Henry Theophilus KILBEE, Esq. Theophilus Lucas CLEMENTS, Esq., Robert ERSKINE, Esq., Abraham BRUSH, Esq., Theophilus THOMPSON, Esq., Eyre COOTE, Esq., Robt. CLIFFORD, Esq., Michael PHILLIPS, Esq., James BAILIE, Esq. Mr. William Nixon MORTON was appointed HIgh Constable and Collector for the barony of Lower Loughtee; his sureties, Mr. Wm. NIXON, of Thornbill, and Mr. Francis EBBITT, of Drumgart. MR. Philip[ SMITH was appointed High Constable and Collector for the barony of Tullygarvey; his sureties, Mr. Richard PHILLIPS, of Cootehill, and Mr. Philip SMITH, of Carrickville ====================================================== OUTRAGE A most disgraceful outrage was perpetrated in the townland of Lisboduff, parish of Drung, on the evening of Wednesday, the 26th ult. It appears that John LYONS, bailiff on the property of Richard B. BLACKWOOD, Esq., was sent to apprise some tenants on the estate that the agent, Joseph LYNCH of Roebuck, Esq., would be receiving rents in Cavan, on the following Monday, and that he expected, that they would be prepared on that day to pay their rent. LYONS, after performing his duty, was quickly returning home, about six o'clock in the evening when he was attacked by a party of men armed with sticks, who beat him in a most brutal manner; he received two dreadful cuts on the head, and there is no knowing where their brutality would end, were it not that the noise of persons approaching caused them to fly. No cause can be assigned for such a wanton attack upon an innocent man; there cannot be a more indulgent landlord than Mr. BLACKWOOD, and, as for LYONS, though he has been for more than twenty years bailiff, so far from incurring the hostility, he had succeeded in gaining the friendship of the tenantry on the estate. His character differs widely from the "Darby O'DRIVES," described with so much truth by Carleton, who delight to harrass and oppress a people verging on a state of starvation, and who, in their time, have been hated by the people, who, erroniously think it not only patriotic, but praiseworthy to resist a bailiff, not so much in detestation of the man, as on account of the obnoxious office which he fills. No sooner did the Rev. T. BRADY, C.C., hear of the occurrence than he brought LYONS to his house, had his wounds dressed, and induced him to remain until next day. It was fortunate he did so, for, had he ventured home that night, he would in all probability, have never seen his wife and family alive. _____________________________________________________________ THE LATE HUGH O'REILLY--In recording the demise of the late Hugh O'REILLY, Esq., J.P., which melancholy event took place at his seat, Newgrove, county Meath, on the 15th instant, in the 74th year of his age, we are constrained to say, that it has seldom fallen to our lot to record the death of an individual more generally esteemed in the various walks of life than the late lamented Hugh O'REILLY, Esq., senior Magistrate of this district--an office which he filled for a long series of years, which honor to himself and satisfaction to the public. Ever the punctual and strictly conscientious attendant upon his magistrerial duties, his brother magistrates must feel his departure from amongst them, as one of those losses for which it is difficult to find a remedy. Unassuming in his manners and easy of access, Mr. O'REILLY was ever experienced by t he poor man as the lenient administrator of the law, and the disinterested holder of it shield. "Justice to all," being the motto which this impartial magistrate acted under, his loss must be considered a public one. And when we consider the other trying arduous duties which he was daily called upon to discharge, in his capacity of poor law guardian, of which body he was an indefatigable, active and highly honoured member, we do say, that we may not easily find his successor. In a word, he was an upright magistrate, a kind neighbour, and an honest man. The poor in him have lost a friend, and legal jurisdiction its just dispenser; a loss which must for many a day be deeply and severely felt.-- Evening Packet. ===================================================== BIRTHS In this town, on the 23d October, the lady of the Rev.
