The Limerick Examiner, on the authority of its special correspondent, reports a wholesale eviction at Charleville. The district which is known as the "Old Cork Road," being in fact a suburban extension of the main street of Charleville, consists of fifty-eight houses. It belongs to the Earl of Cork, to whom it was surrendered by Miss Austey. Notices were served on the people on the 1st of April; and on the 13th of July the Sub-Sheriff of Cork, aided by the military and police force, proceeded to execute the writs. Forty houses were cleared of their inhabitants and pulled down; the inmates amounted in number to about 400, of whom one fourth were lying ill of fever. A few found temporary shelter in the houses left un- touched; but the majority took refuge in the churchyard; where they passed four nights without any protection from the weather.
