FURTHER PARTICULARS . ( From ihe Limerick Reporter . ) Wednesday , June 8 . On the court being opened this mornisg , a tremendous rash took place , and a popular outburst of indigDation was raised against the police , who were itationed at the several passages . Tteir officers ordered them to retire to the barracks . Tho list was no- * handed to Mr . O ' Connell ; the number of names on it was 42 . Mr . Carrick suggested that as Captain de Rn 7 jnes was about btiag implicated in this matter , it was right he should liave an opportunity uf beini ; pressiit . Sir . O'Connell o > j cted , and said that being the professional advissr of the deceased ' s friends , ho was determined to accuse him of wilful murder . ( Great cbeerin ? )
Captain Dj Rnvyr . es . —It is just now I have come into cou : t ; I co not know the proceedings that have been gone on w th . Mr .

I swear I am not guiity of the charge , find I trust thst I shall be able to rebut it . Mr . O C-nncil . — I hold in mj band the depositions of a man -who is in extremis . I would susgest that some magistrate shoute go with the R : v . Mr . Henne .-sy to tha infirmary to have the informations taken by him . 51 r . K . Bridfeman left t ' ae court with the Kev . Mr .

Mr . OCocnslL—Mr . Coroner and gtutltrmen of the jury—You will bear with me a-while in performing a duty wh ^ ch devolves on me of putting before you the factiJ 3 f the case . On Monday night last , a most want-.-n msssacrs took place , of which you are aware . I shall bring before yoa persons who will prove to your satisfaction that the firing waa not regular , but what I may term platoon-firing . Yon will hear witnesses who cannot be doubt > d that the police took deliberate airu aS the people . ( Here Mr . 0 Connell went on te rtcapitulate the circumstances of tbe case U 3 tbty appeared in evidence , ) Mr . O'Connell continued— - If thsre was

After Mr . Smith concluded , Mr . Browne asked him if -when he made the reply ts him , that nobody gave orders , if ha did not add , " 1 know I gave no orders . '' Mr .

respective aides . I beard Captain Da Ruvynes Bay " fire , " and Mr . Brown "not to flre . " I heard Mr . Brown . 1 second time say , "Donet fire , boys . " The word was given by Captain Da Ruvynea before Mr . Brown desired them noE to firo . About two minutes after the word was given the firing commenced . The front rank of the police was in a kneeling position , the rear rank were standing up when they fired . There was about two or three shots fired by the front rank . Alter they fired Mr . Browne said " boys , don't fire . " There was about two or three minutes between the firing of the front and rear rank , and it was after both
that Mr . Browne said , for the second time " boys do not fire . " I heard only about three shots when I ran away . Could not tell the namea of those who fired . When I get to the corn-market gate on the store-road , I saw the deceased woman brought away between people and she bleeding . I saw M'Nnmara bleeding . 1 saw also the blind man Fifzgibbon walking down the road and he bleeding . Was standing for about two minutes near the police btfore they firec \ I saw the people that were between the police and Mill-street . I am sure every one cf tbe people could be dispersed without the police having recourse to fltlng .
. Michael Haire deposed as follows : —I saw Captaiu D- ; Ruvynes and Mr . Browne standing side by , side when the police baited ; the greater part of the crowd had dispersed before the police charged ; about five minutes after 1 got into the ruin , I heard Captain De Ravynes say , ' Ready , present , fire ! " Mr . Browne repeated the same words after tke captain , and the men fired . I heard about forty shots fired , th-.-re were about fifteen minutes between the firing of the first and last shot . I did not go home all morning ; after the firing wes over , Mr . Browne ordered the men up towards the mills ; it was about one o ' clock then ; the police were forced towards the old matket . ; To tbe Coroner . —It was Captain De Riivynes and Mr . Browne gave the orders to fire ; there were persons in the ruin with me , a boy of the name of Mort M'lnerney . and three women .
Doctor George O'Erien being sworn , was examined by Mr .

I was standing near the store when Mr . Honnessy walked on with the mob . I remained with the police . I hf-ard C ^ ptuiu do Rivyncs say , he got a blow of n , Btone ou the nj / iuth . There were over twenty policemen present . The policamen had thair bayonets screwed upon their carbines at this time , and in a charging po .- -. tion . Mr . Browne called out to Captain da Ruvynes , and inquired what was he to do ? This was five minutes after the captain complained of being
struck in the mouth . He ( the captain ) said he could do nothing , as Mr . Smyth was not there . Mr . Browne replied , I now give yon the authority , and you miiy do as you pleaS 8 . Captain Du Ruvynts then naid that the men must fire ; then-Mr . Browne desired the men to firu ; the word was scarcely out of his mouth when tbe mm fired . Befoie tho word was given , I heard Mr . Fiziimon ssy , " In the beiicur of God , do not fire , but charge upon the mob , ; md close them up , and they will make away . " Between tlieso words and tho firi'g three minutes did not eJapso . It was after Mr . Fi'Z imon 5 pok < i that Captain l ) a Ruvynes said , tbe mtn must fire , and Mr . Browne gave the word instantly ; the police nr ' gbt have put five times the number of persons prfrsi-nt away without firing if the advice of Mr . Ki'zs m .-n was taken .
To Mr , OConnell - Ciptain « le Riivyn n ss read no paper before tho order was given , neither did Mr . Brotrce . If any thing h : id been read I must have heard it . There was na light to read without getting a candla To the Coroner—I heard tho Captain give no word of command . I * aw no stone thrown immediately previous to the firing . The police were in 110 danger at the time . I got ni ) Bfci . f a blow on the hoad , but it neither hurt nor cut Kie . The police fired first towards Mill-street , and then turned back and fired on the opposita side . When I was hit there were no other stones thrown . While the people were running away the polico continued firing at them . The police walked firward after tbe people every Bhot they fired . The polico came tight or nine steps from where they were placed , and then turned back and fired hi the opposite direction . I did not see Mr . Smith after until the bodies were carried to the infirmary . The mob did not return .
The R ; v . P . Hennessey sworn—I recollect the night in question , when Mr . Smith and I were stationed near the store . I found him addressing the people , advis ng them to retire , and promising that in the csurscof the week he would solicit subscriptions from the more opulent inhabitants to procure cheap provisions for those who were in want of them . I joined in the same appeal , and in tbe promise . He brought forward a large body of the people , and I followed with another , until we came to the height of tbe . street , we repeat-: iDg our promises , they expressing tti 6 ir confix ience in us , and be pressing en them the necessity of keeping their word ? . We came round by Jail-street , lest tbe people should follow u ? . When we came up wo found different persons ttrapgling by the wall . Mr . Browae said that the people wero throwing stones . I drew a
large number of the crowd with me . When t'i « shot * commenced I cried out , ** We Bb . aU all be shot , ' and I w : i . s dread : ully annoyed to dad that show should be fired promircuously while I was co-operating with tbe authorities for the preservation of the ptace , thus endangering the lives of mystlf and other innocent persons . i -. m confident that there were no stones thrown in tbe direction from -which the shots proseeded . i perceived something like tbe effect of a shot in my leg , but I felt no apprehension of danger . I heard the peoplo say that Captain de Ruvynes promised to assiBt in . the ' subscription . To the best of my judgment I am quito clear that the crowd might have been dispersed without tua pulice firing a shot or even screwing on 8 bayonet . In point of fact , we were all runningaway when the police commenced firing , and during the run they ( the police ) continued firing .
Mr . L Smyth , resident magistrate , sworn—From my experience as a magistrate , I am quite persuaded that if the police remained stationary as I directed , I could have taken away every man in the crowd by my single exertions . On retiring after Bending off one batch I returned and saw ihe Qishing ot several carbines , when I , of course , retired in dread of my life . If they had not proceeded to fire , I am confident I would have arra ged all in ha ; f an hour . On ruy return I found Mr . Browne addressing the people i : > ah indiscreet manner I did not approve of . I was forced along the road down Mill-street , he told thtm to stand back or he would be obliged to fire upon them . When 1 heard that , I said , " Bo ocol aud steady , and"I . will contrive to disperse thtm myself . " I heard him give no orders . I went accordingly , and did as I before stated . I had no further conversation with Mr . Brow&e Tintil it w . is all over .
Captain Do Ruvynes— Gsntlemen , I have already ma- ! e a declaration of my innocence—I leave my case in your hands . I went out amtng my fJiow-towiisinen , no ? as a magistrate , but as a . p-ivats individual I vas always anxious for their welfare , and I now givo my oath thax on that uigLt I did uot direct the polsct ) to fi e . Mr . Smyth , in answer to a question , said , that on m-king inquiry of Mr . Browr . e , lio taid that no person dtsircd linn to fire ; on meeting that night , he turned rou :. d and said , " Mr . Smyth , wncre were you ? " I said , You might well 11 . quire , wht-n you directed tbe police to- fire on tha people , ami I would wish to know who gave you ord-.-rs to lire ? " Mr . Brown :: said , " nobody . " I ordered ibe party out , ' ami'I conceived thr . t Captain DeJlnvyiies cama to thu place as a Miagistrat'j , from an observation be made at a meeting of inaKi > trutes he ' . d on tbaidny , that he wuuM give every asiistaucc ; in his power to prtscwe the peace .
To Mr . Browne—I am satisfied as that I am standing here that th . ' unswor you .-made was " nobody . ' Perhaps you said ' I did not give tho ordtr , " r . nd I have no at . uot but wiiat you say is true , an » . t that vou said sc . iir . O'Conn&ll said that he hid closed , aid inquired if t ! : e gentieruen concerned intended to produce any vdinesscs ? Captain Dd Ravynes—Conscious of my innocence , I will eiittr on no defence . Mr . Browne—I am placed in bo difli ; ult a position th . it I l-Oiliy know not how to act . If I were- oniy personally concerned I should not fce » it . ! U ' , but I am ho totally ignordnt of lifilknowledge tha : I know not how I thai ! proceed ; but tuera are those of whom I havo the supyriutemience who are resp-. ctHbie men . , aua tbiii ^ fore -without legal assittmco I cannot say what I shaii do .

MURDER GF A CHILD IN LIVERPOOL An investigation of a very serious and horrible character took place on Monday before P . F . Carry , Esq ., the boroo ^ h coroner . The inquiry , was held at the coroner ' s office , at twelve o ' clock , befwre a very respectable jury , aud wag touching the death of a male child , supplied to have been destroyed 05 its mother , an unmarried woman named JElzibeth Russell , who waa * in cuaiody . Sha was apparently about thirty yeard pi ' ageVand seemed in a Very feeble and nervous srate . r
from the evidence of ' -several witnesses , some of whom had derived their knowletl ^ o from a * missions of . the . prisoner , ' it seemed that lliiSselJ , h < ad been-for about soveu years in the service of Miss Mary Goie , a lady residing in Sandon-strcet . Oa the evening of Thursday wm : k , Miss Colo , who had been ous for eome time , returned homo , and the prisoner then complained of being unwell , and was told by her mistress to go to bed . It appears thai , about this t-ime , Russell was delivered of a malo chili , ' a , ! ta 6 UKh no suspicion had been entertained tuis she' was pregnant . iSjhe was excessively anxious to cono-al tho fact , bo much so that , according to her own statement , she aid not Htop to ascertain whether the infant was living or dead ; but ,-being tearful 'kit it
should cry aoa alarm the family , sha wrapped 16 up in linen , conveyed n to the privy , aad threw h in . Several days elapsed without any suspicion being datet tuitied that a crime so uunatural had bren committed by tho pritioaer . One day ,. however , a iit Je girl named Mary Bruce , who occasionally' assisted in the house , perceived in the miqdea a baudle , ihij shapa of which was : something like that of a child , and being desirous of obtaiai « g tho clothes to sell as old raga , she meutioiied the circumstar . ee to tho prisoner , and aj-ked whether fhe micht have the bundle ? Russell ' s reply was , "Oh they are soais clothes which the men ( probably meaning tho .. night-men ) have thrown jh ; never mind them ; you wiii dirty yourself if you « try to get them . " The # irl mentioned
ohia occurrence 10 her parents , and was told by them to make the same statement to her mistres-B . She did so , and this , c ' ouj > lcd with other triflng incidents , which then assumed a suspicious aspect , caused Miss Goie to send for Mr . Thomas liiackburn , the surgeon , in order that she might havo his advice and insiruotion . Mr . Blackburn proceeded to the house , on Thusday evening , and questioned the prisoner as to what had happened , tihe confessed that she had given birth to a child . 0 ; i . hearing this acknowledgement , Mr . Blackburn thought it his aaty to refrain from pressing her any further ; but af er having cautioned her , tolfi her mat she was av liberty to make any statement the liked . She only added that the infant was about a sevetv month's child . Mr .
Blackburn then gave information to the police , aud constables Ha ' sall and Ainsworth went to thehouso . On searching the privy , they fouud a liueu wrapper , containing the / dead body of a male child . On the following morning , Mr . Blackburn made a minute examination of it ,., in the presence and with the assistance of Mr . Batty and Mr . Blower , surgeons , and the result showed that tho child had been more barbarously dealt with tbau tho mother had admitted . Mr . Blackburn said— "Thachld , I have no doubt , had arrived at its full period . Tho general appearance of the body was that of one born alive and in health , with the exception of the head , which wjs very much injured—tho boiics all loose , and the Whole aspect thap of a loose bag filled with a fluid or semi-flaid tubstance . Oa a moro
inmute inspection , an opening , in-the cavity of the head was discovered on the light side , a little above and behind the ear . Ic had » 7 l the appearance of a wound inflicted b y vio ' enoc , and probably with a sharp , or , at least , a pointed msirumei . t , - such as a large pair of scissors , or a kitchen skiver of aflat form . The wound was nearly half an inch in length , and penetrated between the upper edge of the temporal and the lower edge of the parietal boiie , and there was a corresponding perforation in the dura mater , with a ragged edge , indicating that force had been used . The dura was torn open very extensively , an « i tho inside of the cranium occupied with grumous blood , and the substance , of the brain mixed together in such a way as could not , in my
opinion , have been produced , except by external violence and force . The frontal bone was fractured , and tho 'bones generally were loose , and separated from each other at the sutures . The integumeuts of the head were not in a . ' ¦¦ state of puu-esoence . but firm , though black and bruised , and every other part of tho body was perfectly free from any approach to decomposition , haying all the appearance of recent death . The neck was carefully examined , with a . view of ascertaining whether - " strangulation hxd'taken place ; but there waa no trace of extravation or echymosis , nor was the tongue at all black or discoloured , as would , have been the caao had tho child been strangled . The chest was opened and examined . Tho lunga fully occupied the cavity , and had tho usual appearance of-Jung ' s' "thai , had been distended by air . They were fully expanded iu
every part , and I have therefore no doubt that ihe child had breathed fully . Upon reciovirig tho lungs from the chdst they floated on the ^ surface of water . The state of the abdomen was perfectly natural , and the bowels contained the meconmm . " Mr . Currie then inquired from Mr . Blackburn , what , in his opinion , was tho cause of . ; death ? Mr . B . replied that after a very careful examination , hia opinion ( and painful as ; it was he was bound to st-vte it ) was , that the child was born alive , and had been destroyed by the injury done to the brain , in the way he had stated . The prisoner , on her volantaiy exaojination , said that she . did not hear the child cry . After a few momftnts ' coiisiiltatioa . the jury returned a verdict of "Wilful murder" against Elizibath Russell , and she was committed to take her trial at tho next assizss . .
SHOCKIKG MUTILATION OF AN INFANT . The Coroner and Jury thon proceeded to the Workhouse , to hold-a . n inquest touching--tlie' -death of . a female child , ' which had been horribly mangled ; and whose severed members had been found in a privy . A . ' . female , calling herseif Mrs , . Babbi . ng . top , who was about twenty-five years of age , arid who wore a wedding-ring , was in custody , awaitiug the reguU of the inquiry . . . , After hearing evidence as to the finding of the body in a urivy ,
Mr . Andrew RrClcllan , surgeon , said—On Sunday , I was sent for to tho house of Stephen Frtel , in Crooked Lane , aad saw there the head , trunk , 'legs , and arms of a female child , full grown . The head ha , d been sovered from the . body at tha lower part of the neck , the arms at the ¦ shoulder'j- ' Jiats , ' and the thighs at tho hip joints . I afterwards made a careful examination of the body , and am decidedly ot opinion that tho child was not born alive . 1 was directed to make an examination of the person of the prisoner , She was asked when she had been confined , aud appeared not to understand the question ; " out in the afternoon sho admitted ' thatthe loohial discharge had existed since Thursday . From my examination I am quite certain that she must havo recently been delivered of a child .
Tho Coroner observed that froni tha evidence of tho surgeon , it . fas plain fiat tho child had been stiil-born , and therefore . - there was no criminal off-uce for their decision upon . The prisoner , however , might be indicted for a misdemeanour ; bus the question of concealment of birth was one with which itiiiy .-had nothing to do . The depositions would be handed over to the magistrates , who would then « o into the case , if they thought proper to do so . ' ' [ The duty ¦ ¦ ¦©! ' the Jury , in the present instance , was a very easy and piain one . Tho Jury returned a verdict that the child . , was stiii-born . The Coroner then ordered that theprispner should bo kept in the workhcuse until Mr . Rishton- had seen the depositions , ' :.

ARRIVAL OF FOOD IN ENNIS . Thfi Limerick Chronicle of yesterday contains the following : — . "A large number of cars , laden with meal and flour , seat by J . N . Russe 1 , Esq ., from this city , arrived in Ennis and caused ahappy change in the state of popular feeling there . On passing through the streets they were hailed with shouts of joy , pipers and fldiers playing before and behind the cavalcade . " ( From the Dublin Monitor . ) COMMITTAL OF THIRTYEIGHT POLICEMEN
. , TO GAOL , FOR FIRING ON THE PEOPLE . In another page will be found the full particulars of the Coroner's Inquest , held oh the body of a- ' wo ' man shot by the polico in Ennia ; on latt Monday night The verdict of tho Jury 18 tantamount to a . verdict of manslaughter against the police , and thirty-eiaht of them have been committed to gaol . . The Jury , by their verdict , found that the poiiee did not receive sufficient provocation to warrant them in firing , on the penpte-r-they also found that the police iired on the people , not only without orders trota Bny magistrate , or from their officers , but in opposition to the positive orders of their officers .
Such is the verdict of-the Jary . pn which thirty-eight of the police havo be « n committed to prison . It is quite clear froin tho evidence that the police did not receive sufficient provocation to warrant them in firing on the people . ';' - but it-is not so clear that they fired without orders . Ciiptaia Do RuvyneB , a ttiagiEtratej and Mr . Browne , county inspector , are implicated in this matter ; but , pending the investigation by Mr Smith , Q- C , we shall not offer any opinion on the evidence given affecting them before the Coroner's Inquest That the Police force was in a most disorganised and unditiciplined state is shown by the evidence of Mr . Stib-Insp * rt » r Fi'zsinion ; ho swore—as reported by the ' Limerick-Chronicle , a Tory paper—as follows : —
" The men fired by the platoon and not by sections ; they continued firing right and Itft as fast-as they could load ; some of the men di * -l not fire ; tbe men gpt . no Instructions with regard to firing at the tittia tbeyleft the barrack , as there was no '' anticipation tb ; it it would be required ; they loaded at the place they fired and not in the barrack . ' A Juror—Who gave the police orders to prime and load ? '' '' : ' . ' .. "Mr . Fitzsimon—Nobody ; on the contrary , when we saw-them do so , Mr . Brown , the head constable , and I
ran up and down the ranks cursing and abusing the men for daring to do so without orders ( sensation ) . " Here is a pretty picture of the frightful state of In-Bubordination in which the Police force wero ! What has conduced to tbis ? Did such inaubordinatiwii ever take place under the Whigs ? or is it that the Police bavo become so undisciplined under the Tories that , when placed in any trying emergency , their iusubordination brcafes put , and they load , and prime , and fire , not only without orders ,- bat ewn in despite " the cursin < and abusinz" of their officers ?
The Clare Journal , a Tory print , has the following graphic account of this murderous assault on the people : — "Up to the hour of balf-past twelve o'clock , Mr . Smith , the Rov . Mr . Heunessy , the Rev . Mr . M'Maihon , and several other gentlemen of the town , were using their influenct ) and exertions upon the people to return to their homes , but with very little effect , for however those they addressed seemed to agree to their request , the crowd again formed in other places . Stones began to-fly . pretty thickly about this hour , and several of the police were more or less injured . Captain de Ruvynea received a blow of a stone on the tip . Mr . Brown , C . I . of the police was struck on the head and chest ,
and one of the men received ft dreadful blow on tha eye , by which he was totally deprived of the use of , and he now lits in ogony at the county iuflrmary . At the hour we refer to , half-past twelve , the police , about forty of whom were on duty , divided into parties , and commenced , firing up and down the road , and as the people ' retreated , lontinutid to follow after them , loading aud discharging untit they camo to ihe turn of the road . into' Mill-street , when , not finding any opponents as they looked upon the people , they desisted . Tberesultof tliis wanton and uncalled-for proceeding was , that seventeen persons wero brought in a short time into the county infirmary- severely wounded . One young
woman was struck over the eye by , we suppose , a spent ball , as it did not enter the bead , but it unfortunately caused concussion of tho brain , and deprived her of life in the course of about four hours . A man named Dircy has bwa shot through the spine and lungs , aud his recovery is altogether hopeless . A young maji named Leary has beeu shot in the thigh ; a man named Macnamara has been shot in the calf of th > 3 kg ; a nun named Fitz ^ ibbon , stone-blind , strange as it m « y appear , has betu shot through one leg , and had the m-comi slightly wounded ; a man named Burley has been shot in the arm ; and-: 'tor several others , see the report of killed and wounded in another page .
" So little caution was observed by the police in their flrin / if upon tbe people , that the clergyman we haw named , together -with Mr . Smithj S . M , iinA several gentlemen Of the town , were amongst th < s crowd whom they tired upon , and their surprise la that they were not amongst the wounded . One of bur respectable shopkeepurs had not tirho to get off the road iuto Millstreet , but had to take shelter in a ehed to avoid the firing . Several providential escapes ; , f .-om balls had been cxporlencedby some of tftose present . We saw one youug man with n small *|> fece of the . sleeve of bis coat cut away from a ball after it had struck tbe wall : " 'There are several marks of balls upon those houses a « d loose stones near them that front the millroad u yon which tbe police we ' re stationed— and iri more places than thesa were largo marka of blood upon the road . '
We shall not make any further observations on this sad tragedy at present . Tho investigation before Mr . Smith . Q-0 , commenced on ' Friday .- It is limited to an inquiry into the conduct of the Police , their Officers , and the Magrstr ' ates who were present . From Mr . Smith ' s character we expect a full and au impartial investigation . AlLVGEO AtTKJIPT TO StIOOT A . PftlEST IN BELfast . —As tli 0 lipv . Ge . > rgo Oroily , Roman Catholic curate of this towri , was walking up tha Dublin road , on Saturday la ^ t , in company ra ; li one or . two . fziciida , a liuui ' nur ot' boyd behind js houee had a small brass -cihnon , and were firing it off . The
reverend gentleman , we believe , bocaiac a ' . ai'incd — at ali events , his companion regarded ic as ? s . h attein . pt to assassinate his reverence , 'i-ho report . cJrcuiattd through the tovviv on Monday , that the heroes or Semtiyrow had atttinpicd to shoot a priest .

However , iiis reverence did not choose to como forward , aud so tho matter dropped . One of / the .. 'individuals' wtio was with the priest declared a ball had beeii firett at Mr .

Murdeu . —A King ' s County correspondent of the Pilot narrates tho foKov / . n ^ horriblo circumstance : — u This inighbourhood has been thrown into a state of the mobt extraordiiiaiy alarm and excitement for tho ' last week , in ^ consequence of a most horrible and brutal murder at Kilkuu—uenv the demosne oi' Durrow , w-iiere tho late lamented Earl of No ' vburywas mosi mye ' . orioui-ly , but most barbarously , n urUcredof Mary VVheelahan , on the night of Tuosday , the 31 st ult ., who was strangled to death by Waiter V \ iieela . hao , her husbaa . j , who had her body concealed in a tillage field under ground , near the dwelling house , until last Sunday . —The .. supposed c 3 luso of tiiid murder-is au unacoountabic-hatrtjd of
tho wife , prodnoed by , perhaps , a criminal attachment of the husband to another feinalo . This good arid virtuous woman had been two days murdered before she was missing by her friends . Upon inquiry they were tolil by Uto husband and his relatives , that , as they did not live happily together , fhe 401 sonia money and wei / t te America . ; The statemuiUs of tho husband were bo unsatisfactory , that ho produced a letter , to give them colour , said to b ^ written by tho wife , and -conveyed through the postoffice to the husband , in whip ! a she accounts for her feigned intention of secretly leaving home for America . This letter coiitainedcontradictpry state ui ^ iits '; it had no post mark of any post ; 6 Sic (' , and
it was evidently a fort ; eiy . This circunistance impressed every miad with , the conviction that Mary Wheelahan was murdered by her husband ; he and somo of his relations Avere consequently giyen into custody to the poli ce till he had accounted for his wife . The eioitenient of the public beoamo so intense that fears were entertained for the personal saft ty _ of somo supposed to bo accomplicea in the tragical affair . On last 3 » nday , at the chapel of Durrovv , Vhe Hey . Mr . ' O'lta-gerty' made * most powerful appeal to the assembled multitude . He exhorted them to suspend for a few days their judgmeat , tii ! it could be ascertained whether she was still living or dead ; he impressed upon her friends the justice and propriety of not offering violence or iBiuty to

against the uqnatnral husband , who , with his aged father as an accomplice , has been committed to the county gaol . This : murder has nothing whatever to do wi ' -h the peace of the country ^ or with party of any kind ; both families having 'been remarkable for good and peaceable con duct at- all times . They are of a very decent class of landholders , ana are connected with most of the old families of that pariah . The tturdered female was a robust , healthy , and most industrioa 3 person ; she was plain in her appcaraiice ^ but yery agreeable , well-diBposcd , and charitable . The sensation made all over the country by the murder , in the minds of the people , will bo lbug felt , as the deceased is deeply regretted .

He further exhorted the people to make diligent search for the body , and that , if she was murdered , it mu 3 t be secreted not far from the ; place where the foul deed --waai perpetrated . Upon search being made on Sunday evening , the body wa 8 found in the tUlage field i about fifteen . perches from tho dwellin ^ -honse . On Monday an . inqnest -was held by Mr . Dillon , coroner , and a respectable Jury . -After a long and minute examination of witnesses , in the presence of an immense multitude of people , the doctors in attendance g iving their opinion that death was caused by strangulation , a verdict of ' ¦ * Wilftd murder" was given , to the satisfac ion of tne public ,
