    3. 1-8-1836 Tipperary Constitution. On Sunday last, about the hour of 12 O'Clock, Mr. Thomas Going's house at Summerville, near Littleton, was attacked by an armed party, who broke in through a parlour window, and took therefrom a sum of money, together with a quantity of wine and spirits to a large amount. Mr. Going was attending Divine Service at the time, and there being no person in the house but Mrs. Going, the ruffians took the opportunity of committing the robbery. They also searched for fire arms, but we are happy to add without success. On the same night , the house of James and Daniel Fogarty, near Holycross, was attacked by an armed party, who broke the windows, and fired several shots into the house; They then threatened James Fogarty, if he did not give up the lands he took from Hall, that he would meet the same death as the Sheas did. On the night of the 17th inst, the house of Patrick Neale, in the town of Thurles, was set fire by some evil minded person or persons as yet unknown. The only reason that can be assigned for this malicious outrage is, that Neale prosecuted to conviction at the last summer assizes , a man of the name of Maher, for the murder of Michael Eagen. Maher confessed his guilt on the scaffold. On Saturday morning last, a limekiln, lately built, for the use of the tenantry of the Earl of Glengall, in the neighbourhood of Rehill mountain, was levelled by some miscreants, who also burned a large rick of turf belonging to an industrious man, for having dared, contrary to their mandates , to take part of the mountain; They likewise fired several shots into his house, as well as into the house of the mason who built the kiln.
