Newtown Hamilton, 24 March 1852. 
I have to report that on the morning of the 23d instant two anony¬ mous threatening notices, true copy of which I give on the other side, was fuund, one posted on a gate post, and the other lying in the street, near to the residence of James Quinn, who resides at Bally-newry, parish of M ullabrack, barony of Lower Fews. 
The cause assigned for the notices being left with Quinn, is owing to his having become tenant for a farm of Loud, fiom which a man named George Gibson had been evicted from in the month of July last. 

F.S.—Grear 
is Quinn's landlord.
