Spence, of the same Regiment, stationed at Ennistymon, have been appointed Magistrates of the county Clare. Captain Studdert, R.N., of Kilrush, is appointed to the Commission of the Peace. A large number of men, embodied in Dublin under Sir John Harvey, for the Police in this County, have reached here. Fifty of them are now in Tulla, under the immediate command of Mr. Colthurst, Stipendiary Magistrate. Yesterday, while several persons were engaged making bargins, and marking out portions of the bog of Doora, to cut turf for the present season, a man, dressed in woman's clothes, went in amongst them, and warned them off, cautioning them not to give more than half the price that was paid for the ground last year. The order was immediatly obeted.

Extract of a letter, dated Knock, May 25 1831 ........ the house of John Culligan, of Benvoran, in the parish of Kilmurry, was knocked down and himself sworn to give half his land to a person who had some years back possessed it. On the same night the house of Patrick Culligan, of Carhunisky, in the same parish, was visited, but not finding him at home, all his Sunday clothes and those of his wife were cut to pieces. In the parish of Killofin, several houses were searched for arms, and two men, named Molony and Frs. Healy, cruelly beated. On Saturday two remaining houses of poor Cotter, of Lack, in the Parish of Kilmichael, were destroyed; fortunatly Cotter was not on the lands, for when his dwelling house was a short time back destroyed, a humane neighbour anf friend, John Pyne, of Tullycrine, gave him and his family shelter in an out-house. These heartless legislators, however, not satisfied with the mischief already done, seized two of Cotter's labourers, placed them on their knees, and with guns at their breasts swore them to go to Pyne and tell him that Lady Clare ordered him, on pain of death, to turn Cotter and his family out. ........ visited, amoungst others, Mr. Thomas Studdert, of Danganelly, ...... attacked the house of Mr. Gilbert Standish O'Grady, of Faunus, in the Parish of Killimur, and after breaking all the windows ......
