ANOTHER MORTARA-CASE-EC IRELAND•

Ireland seems at present fruitful in cases of quarrel
between rival sectarians as to the religion of children.
Ihe'other day we'reported the cases of the Sherwoods
and of Mary Mathews. Another application was made
to the Dublin Law Courts on Tuesday for an absolute
writ of habeas corpus, directed to one Henry Corr, of
Donnybrook, ordering him to bring up the bodies of
Patrick and Alicia Murphy within the usual period.
The motion was grounded on the affidavit of Alice
Murphy, the mother of the children, who had been
spirited away under the following circumstances :

", She states that she resides at No. 3. Eccles-lane,
Dublin,
.and that, she was married on ,the 20th of
January, 1849, to Patrick Murphy, of the city of
Dublin, tailor, who died in the month of November,
1856 ; that there 'Were issue of the:marriage. three
children, Martha Murphy (deceased), Alicia Murphy,
and Patrick Murphy; that Alicia Muiphy was born on
the second of February, 18-49,-and is now aged 11 years;
that in October, 1857, deponent, at the instance and
request of several gentlemen—the then governors of
the Josephian-Feinale Orphan House, situated at Wel-
lington-road, Dublin, and some of whom used to visit
deponent's. husband previous to his death—put her
daughter, then aged eight years and four months, into the
school, to be maintained and educated; that deponent,
.up to September, 1858, was always alloWed access to
her daughter, but that since that time she made several
applications to see her daughter, and on each occasion
was informed by the matron (Miss Byrne) that the
child was not there, and could not be seen, as she was
gone to the country with a monk ; that in January,
1859, deponent went to the school, accompanied by one
Henry Tagart, shoemaker, residing in Eccles-lane, for
the purpose of seeing her child, but was again informed
by Miis Byrne that the child had gone to the country;
that,, at the time the said Alicia was placed in the
Josephian school, she (deponent) did not sign or execute
any form of application for admission for the child into
the school, nor was any such at any time ever tendered .
to her for such purpose ; that since . September, 1858,
deponent has not been able to see her child Alicia. That
deponent's child Patrick was born the 22nd of April,
1852, and is now aged eight years ; -and on the 28th of
July, 1858, the Rev. Denis Heffernan, of Phibsborough
Chapel, came to depnent's then house, in Dispensary- •
lane,- off Dorset-street, and asked her to visit the
schools at Denmark-street, to see if she would like
her son placed. there ; that the ReV.. Mr. Heffernan .
came to her house about the 28th of July, at about.
half-past 1 o'clock, and repeatedly asked her to
allow the child to go to the said school; that about
2 o'clock deponent, in order to get the Rev. Mi. Heffer-
nan out of the 'house, consented to visit-the.school with
him, but on going away she left. her son Patrick. in the
house in the care of one Anne Taaffe, who resided in'
deponent's house, in Dispensary-lane (and who was at'
that time on intimate terms with the, deponent), until
she returned from the said school. That when deponent
got- to the school, the Rev. Mr. Heffernan left her,-
saying that he would return in a few minutes. That
she waited in the school-room nearly, half an' hour;
and finding that the Rcv. Mr. Heffernan did not return,
she left the school to return home. That on the way
back she met the Rev. Mr. Heffernan, but did not
speak to him. That when she returned home, her_son
Patrick was absent. On making inquiry from Anne Tees
in the presence of one Rose Short and Katharine Con-
nolly, where the child was, Anne Taafe replied that the
right, owner of the child had it. That, on the evening .
of the 28th of July, 1858, deponent repaired to Phibs-,
borough Chapel, where the Rev. Mr. Heffernan resided,
but was told by the porter at the chapel house that
the rev. gentleman was not at home. That seeing the
Mr. Heffernan coming up the road, she went to his
and asked for her child. He replied that if she would,
not go away he would get her charged to the police-
That after making several endeavours to find out where 4
the child "was placed, she ascertained in November
List that Henry Corr, of Simmon's-oourt, Donnybrook.
had taken upon himself the care and guardianship of the
two children, alleging that he did so under a will stated
to be made by, deponent's husband; saith that she has
never seen such will; that Henry Corr has offered to "I‘'
deponent see her children, provided that she agreed 4°
sign a paper undertaking not to interfere with the eau"
cation of the children, which deponent refused to d",
considering that he had no right to make any such
demand; that she was prevented from making an earlier
application to the court in consequence of a difficulty of
obtaining prefessional 'assistance, and from the fact that
until November last she did not ascertain with certaintY
who had the custody of the children.
.0n the above
statement counsel submitted that the Court would grallt
an absolute habeas corpus.
" The Chief Justice said the ailidavit.read was a very
voluminous one, and stated the fact that the child-Tea
are in the custody of a person who claims to hold that
upon title. He should show what that title was. Tbb,
court would grant the order.
" Mr. Norwood said he supposed the court would
grant an absolute order.
"Mr. Justice O'Brien said the applicant was entitled
to an absolute order.

"The Court accordingly granted the order, the writ to
be returnable in two days."

MURDEROUS ATTACK ON A, MAIL

DRIVER.

Considerable sensation has been caused in Rochford,
and also in Rayleigh, from its being -stated that Mr.
Chapman, the landlord of the King's Head Inn, and
contractor of the mail, had been fired at on his return
journey from Ingatestone. It appears that on than:tail
cart reaching Rayleigh about half-past one in tbe
ing, it being, very dark, its a narrow part of the oat!'
near Mr. Grout's farm, a gun was fired from a field 1)1
the road side, and the horse at the same moment isncl.
denly stopped, turned round, and backed into the ditch'
when a second discharge from a gun was fired, aPra"
rently close to the driver. Mr Chapman jumped out to
the horse's head, when the animal immediately sprang
forward, drew the cart ontuf the ditch, and started. Afr.
C. was fortunately enabled to get in.again and prone'
on his journey, .and reported the matter to the polio at
Rayleigh. On arriving at Rochford he delivered bia
bags, and met Mr. Akers, inspector of police of thlit
town, in the street. Mr. Akers immediately drove to
the spot, accompanied by Mr. Chapman. On arriving
there they found two waggon ropes, or a rope tied twice'
one part of which was broken, and the other on the
ground, suspended to elm trees on each side of tb
road. Mr. Akers took possession of it ; and al°
found some brown paper wadding from a gun. 5:,,
pecting a party at Rayleigh, Inspector Akers proceeded
there, and took possession of the man's shoes, which, nn
comparing, them afterwards in a field next the spit, OrB
found to correspond with the footprints. The inn°
name is John Philbrook,,who was formerly driverbof the
mail, but was discharged some time ago by Mr. Clinc
man. He has been apprehended. The police obtained
a clue to a gun having been lent to a young man, Wilber
Britton, a carrier, whO lives with his mother, at Rayleir
They searched her premises on Saturday, when a gtf,
was found concealed in an out-house, under 'some
and straw, and on searching further a powder-flask
found. The ramrod of the gun was a home-made one'
and on comparing the end of the same with the
wadding, it fitted exactly. This man has 'Blfe
been apprehended. On examining the cart, on
side of 'the panel, just under 'where Mr. Chapman 63;
there was found a considerable quantity of shot, 6°51,6
of which passed through the cart and lodged in
opposite side._ The horse Mr. Chapman was
was a very fast one, travelling at the rate of tvielej
miles an hour ; from the impetus caused by the sPe
at which it was going, and from the collar striking feil
of the ropes, it broke, it. The prisoners were aged
before the Rev. W. Twvne, at Rayleigh, and rernall
till Tuesday. The post-office authorities despahuid
:t4. a,
Sergeant Robinson, a detective officer, from Scotlall
yard, to assist Sergeant Akers. It is very seldotr!ient
Chapman_ drives himself, and this renders it e/lu
that the attack was planned.-11.48eX Herald.
