| RIOT NEAR BONMAHON.—On Sunday night last one of those quarrels which so frequently spring out of public-houses occurred at the village of Ballylanbeen, near Bonmahon, in this county. In the course of the night a man from Kilmacthomas received such a serious blow on the head, that his life is in a precarious way. His name is Hearn, or Ahearn. He was a particularly quarrelsome character, so much so that he was named "Ahearn of the fights." He was also a leader amongst that contemptible and mischievous faction called the Puteens. This faction have, in consequence, for the last two or three days, been parading that neighbourhood, looking for the man who is supposed to have given the blow to Ahearn with the openly avowed intention of murdering him. It is quite unpardonable of the magistrates of the neighbourhood to allow the country to be disgraced by this open parade of lawless ruffianism. They are the very dregs of the community—for the most part servant boys of the worst character, and a cowardly set when at all resisted. On Tuesday last these ruffians were going about in large gangs, drunk. They attacked and broke in several houses in the neighbourhood of Ballylanbeen. —Waterford Chronicle. |
