wounded, and they were gallantly repulsed.MURDERS IN KERRY.rnkersevem Jan. 6.—The Rev. Mr. Dowling, who, you know, is curate to the Rev. Maynard Denny, and has also dealt laro-ely as a tithe farmer, or what is vulgarly called a tithe proctor—and is a magistrate—obtained some time ago a civil bill decree against William Casey, of Aghort, in the Glynn. I understand the cause of action was the hire of a bull—not a verv dignified cause of action for a clergyman. On Friday last tne R?v. Mr. Dowling sent to have this decree executed. l'°rtn‘s purpose he employed three men ; one of whom was named Sughrue, who was a pensioner, and a man of very bad character. This man was armed with a case of pistols. I understand these pistols were Mr. Dowling’s own travelling pistols: however that may be, it was certainly very indiscreet of him to send an partv, with such a man at its head, to execute a mere civil diu decree. When thev arrived at Casey’s, they seized one or two cows, whereupon a' mob, consisting principally of women ana boys, surrounded them, and rescued the cattle; amongst tne rescuers was a son of Casey’s, a lad of about 18; and Sug r snapped one of the pistols at him, but fortunately it missed ere, and no further mischief then occurred, save the rescue.and his party then went to a public-house near the Strand, wtier they were followed by an elder son of Casey’s, who went to su-tie the business with them ; he told them that he had notmoney then, but that it should be certainly paid to Mr. ' »the following Sunday: with this they seemed satisfied, an(ln^ ing procured some whiskey, they departed. However, unton -nately, this business bad collected a number of people toge • many out of mere curiosity; and several, perhaps, from wo motives; but Sughrue and his party, instead ot going o went out of their way to where the people were collected. woman exclaimed that Sughrue ought to be deprived o arms; on which he went up to young Casey, who had bee the rescue, and shot him through the head. There was an • mediate attack from the crowd ; Sughiue was disarmed and m •ed on the spot, and the other two were severely beaten.*■it1''l.*»nMi*■P
