IRELAND. Limerick, Jan 1. We hear from O'Callaghan's Mills, in the County of Clare, that about Two o'Clock on Sunday Morning last, 16 Men attacked the House of one Gooney, a Farmer in that Neighbourhood, and after forcing his House, carried away his Daughter (an only Child) in her shift, and in this inhuman Manner were passing through the Village of O'Callaghan's Mills, where Mr. John Bourchier (who happed to be at Hand, and got short Notice of the Affair) attacked the Party in a narrow Defile, rescued the Girl, and took the Principal, one Gooney, Prisoner, whilst his Servants knocked another of the Party over the Bridge, who was carried down the River by the Flood and escaped. The Prisoner was handed by Mr. Bouchier to some Fellows of the Village; to be secured, who suffered him to escape, while Mr. Bourchier was securing the poor terrified Girl, and preparing to pursue the rest of the Party who fled, and by the Darkness of the Morning escaped.
