Marriage
Mr. Francis Young of the County of Clare, to Miss Lawerence of the County of Tipperary.

" James Butler and John McGuire, who were found guilty at the last assizes held at Ennis for robbing George Peacock of Barntick, Esq; received sentence to be executed on Saturday the 19th inst. Accordingly on that day Mr. William Harrison, Sub-Sheriff of the County of Clare, assisted by a Sergeant's-guard, conducted them to the place of execution, when Butler was executed first, without the least opposition; but when McGuire hung a few minutes, an unruly mob assembled on the occasion, pelted the Sheriff and Guard, and forceably carried off said McGuire alive; during this transaction the soldiers were obliged to fire, when two of the rioters were killed, and several more dangerously wounded."
