CHRONICLE. 
The time approaching for his 
first portion of the allotted punish- 
ment, a notice was sent to Sheer- 
ness, where there is a regiment 
stationed, offering a premium of 
5s. to any one who would take 
-that office on himself; but to the 
surprise of all, neither boy nor 
man could be found for the pur- 
pose. The spirited and worthy 
mayor, determined the fellow 
should not escape, attended at 
the place, and, at the time ap- 
pointed, threw off his cvat, and 
with a dexterity that could not 
be excelled, bestowed on him 
one-third of the punishment his 
conduct had so justly merited.

[ From the Clonmel Herald of 30th 
September. ] 
On Wednesday last, in the mid- 
dle of the day, a large party of 
men, armed, assembled in tlie 
neighbourhood of Rehill, and 
robbed Mr. Meagher, of Rehill 
Lodge, and a number of other 
persons in that neighbourhood, 
of their arms. 
On Thursday last, in the mid- 
dle of the day, a party of eight 
men, armed, attacked the house 
of Mr. John Beere, at Scart, be- 
tween Calter and Clogheen, for 
the purpose of taking his arms.— 
Mr, Beere, however, with lauda- 
ble determination not to submit 
to those lawless ruffians, sallied 
out upon them, and with the as- 
sistance of his three brothers, 
most bravely encountered the as- 
sassins, when, after a discharge 
of a number of shots on each 
side, the villains fled, leaving one 
of the party wounded behind 
them, who was brought into Clog- 
heen, and is now in custody there.

The baronies included in the 
late proclamation comprise near- 
ly two third parts of that fertile 
and. beautiful county, ‘its best

State of Monaghan. 
A spirit of opposition to the 
tithe system has lately been very 
strongly evinced in some parts of 
the county of Monaghan. In the 
parish of Tydannet in particular, 
they don’t dispute giving tithe in 
kind; but if any of the pa- 
rishioners agree to pay for their 
tithe, a number of men, dressed 
in women’s clothes, come at 
night and shake out their grain, 
and in some instances scatter 
their hay and turf. Hitherto 
they have not proceeded to any 
further violence. 
Kilkenny, September 28. 
The movement of troops in this 
neighbourhood continues. At an 
early hour on Tuesday morning, 
notwithstanding the ‘ pelting,”’ 
and it was very heavy, “ of the 
pitiless storm,” a division of the 
11thregiment marched for Cashel, 
and the remainder followed yes-

selves with the prospect of pete
