Dear Sir,

I was misinformed relative to Mrs. Jackson's house[1] being robbed of arms; but every other intelligence I sent you was true -- since which, on Friday night last, the houses of Mrs. Bailey[2] of Clonaleenan, Mr. John Bailey[3], and Mr. Robert Dickie[4], robbed of their arms; they fired several shots into the two last houses and did much damage; many other houses have been attacked after having given up their arms -- the house of Owen M’Mahon[5], Esq. at Aniskene[6], was attacked, the robbers demanded his fire arms, he complied, and let out every gun he had, but they insisted he had more; he opened the door for them to search, when two of the robbers presented each a gun to his breast, and demand his money, and swore if he refused, they would kill him; they robbed him of forty guineas and some silver.

Yesterday I saw a letter from a gentleman near Kells, giving an account of a number of gentlemen joining a company of foot near Baileyborough, and completely routing 400 of these bandits, leaving 31 dead and mortally wounded; after which they surprised a Captain of this gang and 8 men in a house -- they refused to surrender, and kept up a brisk fire until every man of them was killed. -- The gentleman who wrote the letter was himself in the action.
