(CE 24/5/1848) CLONAKILTY, THURSDAY [FROM A CORRESPONDENT] - Transcribed by Anita Sheahan Coraluzzi (c) 2002. All Rights Reserved. - When the news of the defeat of the Whig government in their courts of law, reached this town, the joy of the people was unbounded, twenty barrels and a large quantity of turf were made into one fire, in a public part of the town. Shortly after, the members of the United Irish Club attended; a large tri-colour flag of orange, white and green, with the word "Liberty" in large letters on it, was unfurled, and saluted with several rounds of blank cartridge by the members of the Club. A tar barrel lighting was placed on a barrow, and carried on men's shoulders, followed by the band, playing several spirit stirring airs; whenever the band finished the tune, the shouts of the people for O BRIEN, MEAGHER and MITCHEL were deafening; the procession passed through the different streets until it reached the square, where the police came up, took away the tar barrel, and were in the act of throwing it into the river. The people rushed on them, and would have used violence, were it not for the prompt interference of the members of the Club, who used all their influence with the people, and prevented their laying violent hands on those officious men. I never saw the people so determined or so indignant, and I witnessed many public meetings. The people took the broken barrel in staves lighting, and passed quietly. When they reached the Market-place they cheered vociferously for the honest and fearless patriots, Messrs. O BRIEN, MITCHEL and MEAGHER, and as loudly groaned the "Butcher General" and his government officials. The people then dispersed peaceably; the streets were nearly cleared; two small boys were removing the drum; they were met by three would-be gentlemen, one of those gave the drum a kick, and broke it. Some persons soon learned this fact; those men were at once rushed on, and were it not for the members of the Club, who providentially were present at the time, and protected them, their lives would be in danger. They took shelter in a public house, and were removed home by a guard of soldiers--thus ended this day in Clonakilty. - Magistrates may light tar-barrels here, but the people cannot. When MICHAEL GALWAY passed here, after his appointment as resident magistrate, his friends lighted tar-barrels for him, and the police were by, and did not notice it. RICHARD BEAMISH, when he gained a lawsuit against his brother-magistrates, his friends lighted tar-barrels and carried them through the streets; though the police saw them they did not interfere. This is called justice here.
