ALLEGED MYSTERIOUS MURDER.

A Thurles correspondent of one of the Dublin papers
writes :—" The following strange facts have been
brought to light in the neighbourhood of Thurles On
Pridity morning last, as Mr. John Tennant, of Parks-
town, was tx.king his accustomed walk over his estate,
Or the purpose of looking over his fox covers, he hap-
pened to be examining a portion of a dry sand-quarry
In `he vicinity of carrigeen, a place situate within about
four milee ;he town of Thurles, e",'"!len he discovered in a
shallow recess in the quarry the skeleton of
d fall-grown
woman. Having made his nhVervations and taken :tile
necessary precautions to secure the remains from being
interfered with, Mr. Tennant immediately sent informft-
tion of the circumstance to Mr. Joseph H. Bradshaw,
sub-inspector of constabulary at Thurles, who had
the proper steps taken to preserve everything as it was
when found, until an inquest could be held. In the
course of the same day (Friday), the county coroner was
in attendance, with an intelligent jury, who, having
carefally examined the position of the skeleton,
returned the following as their verdict :—"rhe skeleton
of a female, name unknown, has been found in a hole
in a quarry, at Carrigeen, on Friday last, the 6th of
July ; and we find that the said female was murdered by
some person or persons unknown.' The jury were irre-
sistibly forced to the above conclusion by the position

proved that it had been first cut into pieces, and then
placed in the hole in which it was found, as on any
other supposition it, would have been impossible to forse-
it into so circumscribed a space. As to the time at
which it may have been placed there there can
be but conjecture. The only portion of clothing
discoverable about the remains consisted of part of
a cotton stocking, which remained on one of the leg
bones ; there was also a quantity of dark brown hair
attached to the skull. Sub-Inspector Bradshaw attended
the inquest, and has commenced a series of inquiries
throughout the neighbourhood, which it is hoped may
ultimately lead to the discovery of this mysterious and
barbarous murder. Much interest is manifested through-
out the entire locality by all ranks to obtain some clue
to the victim and authors of this foul crime, the result
vhich will be duly communicated!,

SUlClE.E.—Yesterday a man, named lenrT ilaidepon,
who lived at 19, Rose-vale, shot himself through the
head and died almost immediately. The particulars
will be aseertainsd this day qt. inquest that will be
held on the body,
SUSPENSION OF PAYMENT.—The sus Pension of Messrs.
Robert Freeland, Brothers, Manchester shippers to India,
is announced. The liabilities are reported at £60,000
to £LPO,OOO, but well-informed people say £60,000. It
is feared that one or two smaller stoppages may
follow,
but most of the creditors aro large and wealthy houses.
A man named Went has been committed to take .111 s
trial at the next Monmouth assize, charged with making
seizure on the goods of George Arnolds, of Skenfrith, on
the false pretence of being an officer of the county court.
Arnold actually owed the money for which the seizure
was made, and West seems to have paid the amount be
received to the person to whom it was 414 e, I.lut the
illegal manner in which he acted renders him liable to
transportation for seven years.
