Connaught Journal Galway, Ireland Thursday, January 16, 1823 Volume 69 Price 5 Pence PROVINCIAL INTELLIGENCE KILKENNY January 8-Yesterday, a Special Sessions, under the Insurrection Act was held at the county Court-house. A decent looking farmer of the name of DAVIS, from the neighbourhood of Kilmaganny, was acquitted of the accusation of having concealed arms, and was discharged. There were six more persons in custody, but their trials, at their own request, were postponed to Thursday, to which day the Court accordingly adjourned.-Every sitting of this Court serves more strongly to excite the graritude [sic] of the county of Kilkenny to Government for giving to its excellent Magistracy (as legal assistants under this extraordinary statute) the aid of such intelligent, just, patient, and impartial Lawyers, s J.S. TOWNSEND, and Gervaise P BUSHE, Esqrs.-Leinster Journal ADDRESS TO THE LORD LIEUTENANT On the adjournment of the Special Sessions, the Meeting of the County was held to prepare an Address of Congratulation to his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant on his late providential deliverance from a concerted assassination. Robert FLOOD, Esq. High Sheriff, in the Chair. We have only time and space to state in this number, that a Committee was appointed to retire and prepare an Address; taht, after much deliberation, they returned; that the Lord Bishop of Ossory, as Chairman of the Committee, read aloud the Address, which they had prepared; and that the Meeting unanimously, and with acclamations, adopted the excellent Address presented, through his Lordship, by the Committee. A curious and not unimportant Justiciary circumstance occurred in this neighbourhood since our County Magisterial Supersedas was issued by the Lord Chancellor. An outrage of rather a sanguninary nature having been perpetrated, in which an old man was seriously, and one of his sons dangerously, wounded; the other son, who happened fortunately to be absent from home on the night of the attack, waited, on the next morning, upon one of the preserved Magistrates, to lay the case before him. To the surprise of the complainant, the Magistrate called on one of his servants to listen to the story-which servant had heretofore appeared, on a trying occasion, as the friend of a near connexion of the accused parties. The consequence may be easily conceived; the young man's communications to the Magistrate were known in half an hour all over the surrounding County, and his brothers and father, who were dreadfully beaten, will not swear information before the communicative Justice of the Peace.--Ibid. CORK January 9. - On Saturday night, about one or two o'clock, the house of Daniel SULLIVAN, Proctor to the Rev. Mr. LEFANU, of Grenville, was attacked by a large party of Whiteboys, all mounted and armed, who robbed him of his Tithe-books, promissory notes, and several processes, which he had served for the Sessions now holding in Fermoy. They afterwards proceeded to his haggard, which they set fire to in several places, and it was totally consumed. The same party, afer having committed several other outrages, then proceeded to the house of Maurice HIGGINS; Sub-Constable at Gormlee, in the parish of Danbollog, where they demanded arms, and took bridles, saddles, and hourses from him and several other Farmers in the neighbourhood, to whom they also tendered an illegal oath. It has been escertained [sic] that the party at first consisted of about nineteen or twenty men, who had come down the Old Mallow Road, and at Whitechurch were joined by another body, and at the Cross of Killeagh by several more, whence they proceeded direct to Glenville. on their return they called at a public-house, and drank twenty-three glasses of spirits and a quantity of porter, for which they paid. They did not appear at all inclined to disguise, but on the contrary, displayed their persons and avowed their objects in the most daring manner. A reward of 50l has been offered by Justin MACARTY, Esq. of Carrignavar, for the discovery of any of the party. MAYO CASTLEBAR, jan. 6-We notice, with considerable regret, the perpetration of a most flagitious outrage, involving an extensive destruction of property, at the Heath, in this County, on the night between the 2d and 3d instant, when some incendiaries set fire to the haggard and out-offices of Mr. FAIR. The consequence was, that ninteen large sacks of oats, the property of his son, Mr. R. FAIR, Fortville, and two ricks of hay, consisting upwards of fifty tons, belonging to himself, were consumed to ashed as were also a barn and potato-house, in which there were about 20 barrels of potatoes and 20 sacks of oats. In the morning a notice was discovered, precisely in the words and letters following; nailed to Mr. FAIR's hall door: "Unless you leave this county, you will soon have a courps comeing to your door, believe me as a friend. Signed by General ROCK's command, "Burnin to-night, murder nex week. Robert FAIR, of the Heath, as yet."
