Eviction of Tenantry.
A reporter from this establishment proceeded yesterday to
Gorthore, between Nenagh and Limerick to witness the
eviction of tenantry on the lands of Mr. TUTHILL. The day
was particularly wet, cold and inclement.  120 men of the
72nd Highlanders, under Captain POLLARD, 41 Police under the
command of Sub-Inspector LEWIS of Newport, and several
Bailiffs were there at an early hour. The men of the 72nd
seemed ashamed of this distressing duty.

The names of the persons evicted were-
Patrick MARA, 4 in family.
Patrick CLANCY, 9 in family.
John FENNELL, 5 in family.
Denis BRIEN, 5 in family.
Pat O'BRIEN, 5 in family.
Patrick CLANCY, 7 in family.
William HERBERT. At least 5 in family.
In all 39 persons were evicted.
