The Limerick Chronicle narrates a gallant and successful struggle of a gentleman with a band of assassins. "Tuesday sennight, about five o'clock, as John Lowe, Esq., D.L., Rockbarton, accompanied by his servant, was re- turning on an outside car from Ballylanders, .where he had been collecting rents, he was attacked near Kilrush by five armed men, who ,lumped over a ditch upon the road-side, and called upon him to pull up ; which he refused to do; whereupon two of the party presented their guns at him, but fortu- nately misfired. The horse was moving at . . slow pace, and another of the ruffians rushed to the side of the car where Mr. Lowe sat, and again pre- sented; but that gentleman instantly.struekdown the muzzle and sprung oft' the car, levelling his assailant, whom he fell upon; and while down a fourth ruffian broke a gun across his shoulders, and-the other would have blown his brains out but for the servant, Simon CLuichy, who with a loaded whip tumbled the villain who aimed - at his master. On, raising him from the ground, Mr. Lowe was fully determined to continue the struggle; which the cowardl miscreants observing, decamped, and the heroic gentleman pro-
ceed ome in safety. Next morning a pistol, loaded with slugs, was found at a di h-side where the attack took place."
