MURDER IN THE COUNTY WATERFuRD.

In our last publication (says the Chnane( roned,)
we detailed an occurrence at ltdlymaccriery, ewe mike
from Cheroot, which present. a very auspicious appearance.
Fears were entertained that an old man, named Theme
Connolly, had bear foully dealt with. From intelligence which
has reached us, it becomes frightfully operant that a crime,
horrible in it. nature, and sicker:ling io its details, has
just been committed. We briefly recount a history of
this painful case. It will be remembered by our readers
that "is a cabin, upon a small retired farm Dear Bal.
lymacarbery, lived as aged farmer, named Thomas Con-
nolly, and his grandam, a youth named Carroll. 'Some
short time since Carroll married the daughter of a man
named Thomas Walsh, who, under as agreement, came
to live in Connolly 's house with Carroll and his wife.
The grandson left home to perform some harvest work, sad
after a week's abeame retnrued to hie house. On arriving
at home, he found his poor old grandfather miming, and,
despite his most searching inquiries, could fled no tidings
of him. To his queries to his father and mother.indaw
(Walsh and his wife), the answer was that the old man, on
the morning of the young man leaving home, got up and
went out to work in a potato field, sines which time be bad
not returned. Ou further searching, Carroll found his grand.
father's Sunday clothes in his box, and in a potato furrow
be die:ova/Id the old man's spade. Connolly Dot appearing,
Carroll, wearied and auspicious, at length had recourse
to the police, and on Sunday he communicated with the
Sallymacarbery police, who laid the case before E. Mulcahy,
Eaq., Bellyneckee-home. The result of an inquiry
then set oo foot was the arrest of Walsh and his wife, and
their committal to Memel jail. A search made by the
police for the body of the miring mks (the conviction being
that he bad been murdered), aided by the country people,
proved fruitless, and justice rime to a stand. This pause
war, however, only for a short time, for Walsh's daughter,
almost immediately afterwards, ouatemed that the day her
husband went from bonze she heard some peculiar kind of
chopping in an out-house of the farm. On going to see
what it was, she, horrible to relate, eaw her father with
a hatchet chopping up the body of poor old Connolly,
and she afterwards saw him bury the dismembered parts
in a boggy portion of the land, cradling them into the earth
with hie feet. How far Mrs. Walsh is implicated in the
foul deed has not appeared, but at present both parties are
in prison, awaiting further proceedings. It would seem the
tragic occurrence owes it. origin to a diapute about the pro.
duos of an acre of land. Walsh's daughter, the informant,
is in the hands of the authorities." The Waterford Nees
corroborates the details of this barbarous murder, sod says
that Walsh's daughter gives a mast circumstantial account
of this moat un-Irish crime. Unhappily there can be no
doubt about this murder. The suspicions of the magistracy
and of people around have been fearfully maimed ; and we
understand that both Mr. Mulcahy and M. Warburtoo,
H.M., are now engaged is completing the chain of evidence
necessary to place the perpetrator of this crime at the bar
of justice.
