Some Selected Reports from The Dublin Journal
Thursday, July 10, 1800.
We learn from County Wicklow, that on Tuesday evening last, Colonel STEWART (who was lately dispatched into that County with full power to suppress the rebel robbers of the mountains.) had succeeded in driving the whole banditti of that district into the Devil's Glynn, near Dunran, where they were so completely surrounded as to render it probable that they are all by this time in custody to answer for their manifold crimes.
The Bill introduced in Parliament by Mr. ALEXANDER, will place the Citizens of Dublin, with respect to their being summoned as Jurors, in the same situation as those of London, where after attending at Court at the time mentioned in their summons, and remaining an hour without being called upon, they are at liberty to return home on entering their names to notify that they had obeyed the summons of the Court.
On Monday the 30th ult came on the election for Mayor and Sheriffs of the county and town of Carrickfergus, when Sir WM. KIRK, one of the Aldermen of that ancient and loyal Corporation, was unanimously elected Mayor; and THOMAS KIRK and BARRY MARTIN, Burgesses, Sheriffs, for the ensuing year.
Ralph Westropp, jun. Esq. has been elected Mayor of the City of Limerick for the ensuing year, and Philip Russell and Henry Collis, Esqrs Sheriffs.
John George Newson, Esq has been appointed Common Speaker for the Corporation of Cork for the ensuing year.

COUNTRY NEWS.
Cork, July 5. - On Friday se'night, a banditti of miscreants under the orders of Captain Slasher, broke into the house of Thomas Hanneen, a very aged man and an industrious farmer, of the best character, who lived at Waterpark, in the parish of Newport, co. Limerick, and after charging him with the crime of taking a small farm three years ago, they beat him and his son so inhumanly with large sticks, that the father expired on Saturday evening, and the son received several cuts in his head, which are of a most dangerous nature.
A meeting of the Gentlemen of the town and county of Tipperary, has been lately held, when it was agreed to petition Parliament for assistance to run a canal from Tipperary to Cahir, Clonmel, and Carrick, which was, if possible, to be continued to Limerick.
We are highly gratified in being able to state that the Gentleman who was missing from his home, in Inniskeane, (as stated in our last), has returned in perfect safety. The cause of his absence, and the odd appearances which accompanied it, have not reached our knowledge.
MARRIED.- On the 1st inst. Andrew Armstrong, of Belview, Esq. to Miss Martha Fuller, only daughter of Abraham Fuller, of Woodfield, Esq. both of the King's County.- At Booterstown, Mr. Dennis Newland, merchant, to Miss Netterville, of said place.
DIED. - On Saturday morning in the bloom of youth, Miss Susannah Mahon, daughter of the late Mr. Robert Mahon, of Elm-grove, county Dublin. - In Limerick, Mr. Thomas Taylor, third son to the late Richard Taylor, of Askeaton, Esq. - Tuesday morning, in Dawson-street, beloved and lamented by a numerous acquaintance, and an unspeakable loss to her family, Mrs. White, wife of Luke White, Esq. In her were blended the amiable disposition and the graceful manners, which dignify and adorn the female sex; but these were excelled by the benevolence of her heart, which had few equals. Her study to ameliorate the condition of the poor, her distribution of the essential comforts of life, her numerous acts of private beneficence, render her death a public loss, while they afford a bright example to the affluent. - Mrs. Elizabeth Edkins, relict of John Edkins, late of the city of Dublin, Esq. deceased. - At Belfast, the 29th ult. Mr. J. M'Alester, aged 20 years. - At Newtownbreda, the Rev. James Fetherston, aged 84 years.

SHERIFFS' PRISON.
THE CHARITABLE and HUMANE are particularly called upon by the extreme Distress that a great number of wretched Prisoners confined for Debt in the Sheriffs Prison are reduced to; they have hitherto been in some measure relieved by a Fund formed from the receipt of Half-a-Crown from each Person on their being first confined, if at all in their power, and the small Aid that outside Charity has afforded; the extreme distress of the Times has entirely exhausted that Fund, and without speedy Assistance, numbers of unhappy Creatures are likely to be famished, whilst the Felon, whose Crimes, not Misfortunes, caused his Confinement, has a Support allowed him by his Country. Benefactions will be received by the HIGH SHERIFFS; LUKE MAGRATH, Esq Beresford-street; SAM. ROSBOROUGH, Esq Charles-street; and the Printer hereof.
