On Thursday last, in the noon day, whilst the inhabitants were at mass, a
good farm house on the lands of Carrabinny, near Macroom, was consumed; a
large quantity of potatoes, farming utensils, and some other articles were
also consumed.

A dairy house between Macroom and Dunmanway, the property of Herbert GILMAN,
Esq., was consumed, on Friday night, and four cows stabbed- four more had
their tails cut off.

On Saturday night last, the house of William LINEHAN, within a mile of
Buttevant, was entered by a large party of insurgents, who compelled the
unfortunate man to let them have all the money in his possession.

SPECIAL SESSIONS
Charleville, Monday, May 12
This day the Court was opened in this town, pursuant to adjournment from
Mallow, for the trial of offenders. About 12 o'clock Mr. Serjeant TORRENS
and the Assistant Barrister, with upwards of twenty Magistrates, were in
attendance on the Bench.

Timothy BUCKLEY, for having concealed arms in his possession, was found
guilty, and instantly sentenced to transportion for seven years.

John Sheehy M'NAMARA, for being absent from his dwelling after sun-set and
before sun-rise, without being able satisfactorily to account for himself,
was also sentenced to transportation for seven years.

Thomas CASEY was next tried for unlawfully assembling and acquitted.

James BUCKLEY and John BUCKLEY, were next indicted for having concealed arms
in their possession. They were acquitted.

BUCKLEY and M'NAMARA were immediately removed from the Court under a strong
military escort, and in the midst of the wealings of their relatives and
friends, transmitted to Cork on their way to the Hulk at Cove.

They arrived last evening in this city, and without waiting a moment, were
put on board one of the steam packets, which sailed soon after for Cove.
