We have some addenda to the list of outrages- Hennelly, a carman, was murdered near the Bridge at Castlebar, on Monday, by some ruffians, who beat him until they had broken several of his bones. Three men were subsequently captured by the townspeople, on suspicion. On the 8th instant, Greer, a civil officer of Armagh, was murdered by one Spears, on whom he came to serve a notice: Spears, aided by his wife, beat the man to death with his own stick.
The Tipperary Free Press recounts a case of intimidation. " About four o'clock on Friday morning, as a servant-boy of Mr. Charles Blackmore, Rathcoole, was about going to Clonmel, from his farm at Ballintoher, two men unknown met hire at the gate; one of them stepped aside, whilst the other inquired if Frank Morrie were within. He was told he was looking after his master's sheep. The man then handed him the following- ' Take notice, Frank Morris, that if you don't give up minding Clearagh, that one month will not pass by until you may have your bearer. This is the last warning. A DETERMINED Mnaneass.• The notice was rolled up and tied in brown paper, and the boy was told to give it to Morris, and that they would call again. No cause can be assigned for this outrage, except that Morris is considered a careful and faithful servant." On Sunday night last, as Major M'Lean was returning in his gig from Shan-
non Harbour to his residence Blackwater Lodge in King's County, some person stationed behind a wall fired at him: the ball whistled in the Major's ear.
Several notices have been posted in different places in the parishes of Geashill and Newtown, Tullamoore Union, threatening any person who would dare pay poor-rates. The notices also made reference to the collector. The secretary of a Belief Committee in the same union has also been threatened.
