    3. 12-9-1833 From the Times Last Tuesday, at sun-rise, six men, armed with a gun, four pistols, and a spade handle, went with their faces blackened to the lands of Rathsalla, in the County of Tipperary on the estate of Andrew Roe, Esq. and attacked two keepers that were placed on some property distrained for rent by that gentleman, due to him between two and three years. One of the keepers begged his life, and was suffered to escape, the other fought them, and was fired at and beaten in a shocking manner. Next day, Mr. Roe seized all the cattle belonging to his refractory tenants, and lodged them in the adjacent pound, placing an additional guard over them. The tenants then came in and paid up their arrears. Mary
