DARING OUTRAGE.‹It will be seen by the announcement in
another column that Mr. H. RUSSELL was, a few days ago,
attacked in the avenue of Edenderry, and his life place for some
time in great danger. Three or four ruffians at once assailed
Mr. RUSSELL, who was struck on the head with a leaded
bludgeon or crow-bar, from which attack he was with difficulty
recovered. It is to be hoped that the large reward now offered
will have the effect of discovering the cowardly assailants, that
they may be brought to condign punishment.‹Belfast Chronicle.


£200 REWARD.
WHEREAS, on the night of Thursday, the 3d April inst.,
HOUSTON RUSSELL, of Edenderry, in the County of
Down, Esq., was waylaid, and severely wounded in the head,
in the Avenue of Edenderry, and his life thereby placed in immi-
nent danger.‹A REWARD of £200 will be given for the ap-
prehension and conviction of the assassin, and the sum of £50
will be given for such private information, as may lead to the
discovery of all, or any of the persons guilty of said outrage.
(Signed) FREDERICK RUSSELL.
