STATE OF THE COUNTRY

CLARE
Ennis- July 31- W.N. M'NAMARA, Esq. has committed to the gaol of this town a
man named BARRY, charged with the murder of his wife and child.

The house of a farmer named SEXTON, in the barony of Bunratty, was robbed in
his absence, on Saturday night, of gold and notes to the amount of thirty
guineas, by two ruffians, whom neither humanity, nor the fear of contagion,
were sufficient to prevent- the entire family of SEXTON being at the time
labouring under a typhus fever.

On the evening of Friday last, between the hours of nine and ten o'clock,
some fellows were drinking in a public-house in Boyle, with a soldier of the
19th regiment, when, on some disagreement taking place, they dragged him
out, took off one of his boots, and with a hatchet, chopped off his toes; at
the same time telling him he would hunt no more for poteen.
