STATE OF THE COUNTRY

Dublin, Saturday, June 28

CO. MAYO- On Tuesday last, St.John's Day, at one of those rustic meetings
called Patrons, which was held at the Pontoon, between this town and
Billins, a riot took place amongst some of the country people, when two
Gentlemen who had been fishing upon the lake, (Mr. FITZGERALD and Mr. LUNDY)
interferred. Both were seriously beaten and their boat was also much
injured.
