Clonmel, Wednesday, April 4.
SIGNATURES TO THE
ANTI-CATHOLIC PETITION
Of the Protestant Gentlemen and Landed Proprietors, resident in Ireland.
We give the names of the Anti-Catholic Petitioners from this County. It is a pleasing
circumstance, that out of the numerous body of Landed Proprietors, only two dozen
could be found, whose hearts are so corroded with bigotry, as to deny a participation of
rights to their fellow-subjects. Of those insignificant few, we shall say more at a future
period. The Slieverdagh Petitioners shall also receive a just measure of attention, when
the hurry of the Assizes are over; we have received their names, and shall only now say,
that such a list of ragamuffins (with very few exceptions) was scarcely ever presented to
the public.

BIRTHS
On Saturday, in Tipperary, the Lady of E. SLATTERY, Esq. of a son.

DIED
In Cashel, on Saturday the 24th March, Leonard DOHERTY, jun. Esq. sincerely and
deservedly regretted by a very numerous and highly respectable circle of his
acquaintance.

About four o'clock on last Friday evening, a party of armed men, about ten in number,
attacked the house of a man named TIERNEY, who lived on the lands of Hoarabbey,
near Cashel.-
They set fire to the house, then proceeded to the front of hi, where they shot a dog and
two horses; when the house was in flames, the unfortunate inmates were obliged to
leave it, preferring the chance of being burned within. TIERNEY, the elder was not at
home, but his wife and brother were, and as soon as they came out of the house, the
latter whose name was Michael TIERNEY, was shot thro' the chest, the ball entering at
one sid and passing out the other. The farm on which TIERNEY lived was that on which
a man of the name of FOLEY was lately attacked by night, and severely beaten, in
consequence of which he surrendered it.

On Friday evening, about five o'clock, a party of seven men stopped a servant of
Counsellor SCULLY's, who was riding a horse from Clonmel to Kilfeacle, (near to were
TIERNEY, Mr. BUTLER'S tenant, was murdered an hour previously). They made him
dismount and demanded his name and business. He told them his name was Thomas
LYNCH, that he was a County Kilkenny man, and servant to Counsellor SCULLY. Oh!
said they, "we know the horse; he is Counsellor SCULLY'S, and we will shoot him" - the
servant entreated him to spare the horse, and said he would sooner lose his own life. -
they asked him was he prepared to die, and he replied he hoped so - they then placed
him on his knees and fired twice at him, but being tipsey, and their hands shaking very
much, they missed him - they then desired him rise, and observing that he was a
stranger and would not know them again, gave him his horse and allowed him to proceed
on his journey to Kilfeacle. The scene took place in the presence of fifteen or twenty
country people, who remained quiet and unconcerned spectators. The party, who were
young men about twenty years of age and very shabbily dressed, departed across the
fields in the direction of Knockgraffon - they were armed with six guns and a case of
pistols, and appeared in excellent order.

INQUEST. - Friday an Inquest was held before Alderman ARCHER, on view of the body
of a sailor named William CURRAN, taken out of the Basin at Ringsend on the same
morning. Verdict, "Found drownded."

This last batch will all be:
