Connaught Journal published Galway, Ireland Thursday, June 12, 1823 PROVINCIAL INTELLIGENCE MAYO Castlebar, June 9- We announced in our last the disgraceful fact of two cows having been houghed near Killalla, and this day we have unfortunately to notice and outrage of equal barbarity perpetrated in an opposite direction of this County, and proceeding it is supposed, from the same principle of revenge. Mr. RONALDSON, steward to Lord Clanmorris, having been in search of stolen timber, discovered some which was not satisfactorily accounted for by those in whose possession it was, and which he brought away. In the night of the day on which this occurence took place, two heifers the property of Mr. RONALDSON, which were grazing in his Lordship's demesne of Newbrook, were fired at. One of them was found dead in the morning and the other dying, both having received bullet wounds. A few nights since some cows, the property of Mr. ORR, of Innishannon, had their tails cut off at a place within one mile of that town. Four sheep and three lambs wer estolen from the lands of Cahirgrinane, near Roxton, on Wednesday night.---Clare Journal. Cathy Joynt Labath Celtic Cousins http://www.celticcousins.net/
