ATTACK ON A DWELLING, NENAGH GUARDIAN 18-12-1849 

  On the night of the 13th instant, a party of six men came 
to the house of land bailiff, Michael Lacey, Bushfield, 
Carrigatoher. They demanded admittance, but having been 
refused it, one of the party fired a shot through the 
kitchen window while the others broke open the door and 
rushed into the bedroom of Lacey, who when he heard the 
party at first, got out of bed and made his escape, in a 
state of nudity through the thatched roof of the house, 
before the ruffians entered. When they found the object of 
their vengeance had fled, and was not within their murderous 
grasp, the commenced on the crockery ware in the house, and 
broke all the plates and dishes.
