PROVINCIAL INTELLIGENCE
MAYO

Castlebar, June 9- We announced in our last the disgraceful fact of two cows
having been houghed near Killalla, and this day we have unfortunately to
notice and outrage of equal barbarity perpetrated in an opposite direction
of this County, and proceeding it is supposed, from the same principle of
revenge. Mr. RONALDSON, steward to Lord Clanmorris, having been in search of
stolen timber, discovered some which was not satisfactorily accounted for by
those in whose possession it was, and which he brought away. In the night of
the day on which this occurence took place, two heifers the property of Mr.
RONALDSON, which were grazing in his Lordship's demesne of Newbrook, were
fired at. One of them was found dead in the morning and the other dying,
both having received bullet wounds.

A few nights since some cows, the property of Mr. ORR, of Innishannon, had
their tails cut off at a place within one mile of that town.

Four sheep and three lambs wer estolen from the lands of Cahirgrinane, near
Roxton, on Wednesday night.---Clare Journal.
