    3. Ejectments in Tipperary;-We believe that a larger number of persons have been this year ejected than within any similar period within the oldest remembrance. In this county the number never reached half the amount it has arrived at within the last twelve months. Almost daily the Sheriff, or his deputy, is engaged in the sad and melancholy work of levelling the houses of the rural population, who have no resource except the workhouse-not even the workhouse in many unions now, as with few exceptions, all those institutions are densely crowded. During the present week the deputy sheriff was engaged in Borrisokane, Portrue, etc. On Wed. he ejected 10 families from a place called Be Leen; and it is stated that he has several other similar calls for the ensuing week.
