THE INQUEST AT SIX-MILE-13
FRIDAY.-FOURTH DAY.

The inquiry woe resumed yesterday morning, and
the interest excited by it appeared unabated. It is
remarkable that none of the peasantry from the
surrounding district have yet made their appearance
at the inquest. The military camp, which is a great
novelty in that part of the country, is daily visited
by respectable persons from Limerick, and other
plans in the vicinity. The Ant witness examined
was a polioe•cooatable.
Sub-constable John Meagher, of Knocklong, in the
county of Limerick, sworn—Was on duty in Siz-m;le-
bridge on the 22nd of July. About fifty men came here
with me. I was in charge of the temporary barracks,
nearly opposite the Court-Douse. Myself and one man
were in charge of the house. The others weie on duty.
It and a shot fired that day. I was an observer of what
took place during the day ; of everything that took place
in the locality where I was. Did not see any rioting, or
stones thrown by the people. The shot was fired between
twelve and one o'clock. Saw a gentleman who I was told
was Mr. Wilson that day. Saw hlm on a ear at the upper
end of the street addressing the people. In about an hour
or three-quarters after I SAW sticks given up. Mr. Wilson
addressed the people a second time. Witness is fifteen years
and four months in the constabulary. Das been at fairs
and markets, and frequently saw sticks in the hands of the
countrymen. After Mr. Wilson addressed the people they
gave up the sticks, and witness threw them into the
barracks; thinks that about one hundred sticks
were given up ; witness was standing at the right-Mind
side of the door, with his back to the wall, when
be heard the first shot. Only had his sidearms on. lie ap-
prehended no danger or disturbance, as the people had left
the place at that time. heard some one say that the horse
soldiers were a ming with voters, and the people dis-
persed, some up and some down. My belief is that the
people went to see the soldiers, but what their object was I
don't know.

iiiy —I now so& you distinctly, from the demeanor
or conduct of the people, was there any apprehension of riot
or tumuit ? _ _

Witness —I don't think there was. I have no doubt but
that people always gess at and foUow soldiers when they
are marching. I recollect three contested elections—one
in Bandon and two in Limerick. The last one for Clare
was a fourth. There was no greet incitement in Sit-
mile-bridge up to the time the shot was fired. From what
I saw all was peaceable and quiet. In aboLt halt •
minute or so after the first shot was fired I heard about
five or sit shots, as if fik-firing by the army or police.
(The witness then slapped his hands, denoting the
time the firing of the four shots occupied, which was
only eight seconds. There was a lapse of half • minute
betweea the first shot and the four that followed). Saw the
military coming out of the lane that day. My attention was
directed to the lane when I heard the tiring. I was looking
in that direction. There was a panes after the firing, and
I saw ten or fifteen persons run out of the lane, and the
soldiers in a confused way after them, at a distance of about
• yard. The principal part of those who ran out from the
lane closed In to near where the police were, at the right of
the courthouse. I didn't observe what way they were re.
°rived by the police. I saw some where we were. There
was • party of police stationed near Miss Wilson's gate.
Saw the military come from the lane in the shape of a
horse-shoe. They halted in the centre of the street in
direct line with the lane. Soma allots were fired by them.
The first shot that attracted my attention struck the
jamb of the door where I was standing, and the
mortar of the wall struck within an inch of my
neck. There was another policeman standing with me.
The ball must have gone between us both. I faced
round to go into the house, and saw a man running as
if to get into the barracks, when he received • ball in the
thigh and fell upon his knees. He cried out be was shot.
I was inside the house, and he asked me to help him into
the house, and I did so. I saw that man before. He
appeared to me to have an ordinary description of walking-
stick in his hand. I cannot positively swear whether or not
the man I allude to came from the lane or not, but when I
saw him he was in the middle of the Must. When I pulled
in the man I heard a ball strike the slates of the house, and
on. of the slates fell oa my cap. I would not know the
soldiers that I saw fire the shots. When the shots were
fired the soldiers were standing where I first described
them. They may have moved a perch or two. In my
opinion there were four shots fired in the street. I saw •
man running from the lane up the Lodge road, and • sol-
dier charging him.
To Mr. Graydon—lt was my duty that day to guard the
police (temporary) barracks. I might have walked • perch
or two from the door. I could know of nothing that was
going on down the village, or in the lane where the
soldiers were. They, were up to Ave hundred persons
in the street when Mr. Wilson made the second speech.
The crowd continued much the same up to the time
of the cry that the hone soldiers were coming.
Those who west up the street went into the lane ; I should
say, there seep have been 200; from what I saw, my opinion
is, the people watt to um who the voters were, and if for
Col. Vandaser atMgraa them, and cheer for them if they
were ter the YMNparty ; I think they must have known
they wan NOM fer Camel Vandelenr when they required
a military assert- the vaise eemouncian the awing of the
voters came dram the mad. sod as if dill ponies Ida said

Oraydon—Hold your tongue, sir.
Witnen—l wish to Ood you'd tall me to bola ay tonal

To Mr. Oraydon-1 PM no Souses thrown in the lose
that day, and didn't see any soldim struck. I did net oft
en) of Os voters at all, for they were at thy bock. The
wee I'd be ea the oaf* side, I should say there were horn
eight to twelve shots in the lane, and three or four after-
wards.

Mr. Graydon--And you have said that everything was
quiet betties this tint, ?
Witness—As quiet as a lamb.
Mr. Graydeo—You swear that ?
Witnees—God help us, what pride you take, a high-bred
men, In tessing a poor " spalpeen like me, and you not
knowing whether he ate his breakfast er not. (Laughter.)
The people were dead at any rate, and got reason.
Mr. Graydon—Now, again, can you tell me what num-
ber of peep), wen in the lane ?
Witness—Will you take it by guess-work?
Mr. Grayrten—l will take it any way; come, now.
Witness—Well, there were from two to a hundred.
(Laughter.)
Mr. Grayden—l really mast protest against this levity.
When such answers are given is a serious investigation of
thin kind, it is enough to throw discredit on the witneda's
testimony. Such an answer as from two to a hundred.
Witness—Well, didn't I make the bargain with you ?
The witness's eross.exanaination was continued at great
length, but nothing material was elicited save a repetition
of his direct testimony.
The next witness examined was the Rev. John Bourke,
P.P. of eratlee. Its said : I took a deep interest in the
election, I heard of a cavalcade of troops and voters ap-
proaching the village. I west to meet them. The voters
that l saw were on a car. There were four. I knew one
of the two on the side of theca, nest me at thee time. These
voters were tenants of the Marquis of Conynghest, who hes
property in this country. The military I saw accompanied
the voters at each side of the an, and there were some mi-
litary in front. They proceeded across the open space from
Flannery's house to the bridge, and came up towards the
permanent police barrack. There wee a crowd of people.
They made way fur tla cortege ash paused. I was aloes-
side the soldier,. When they came to the permanent
police barrack they continued on by the road that leads to
the chapel. From that they proceeded by the chapel to the
lane. From Flannery'e to the entrance of the lane there
was no obstruction that I saw offered to ,the
progreu of the escort. Through the whole way I was walk-
ing by the cars outside the military. I did not observe that
the people had either sticks at stones in their bands. The
people as we went along came to Ilse doors of the houses.
I cannot say if they followed in the rear. There was
groaning. I have been at other elections, and this ebulli.
tint of feeling did not excite any amazement. I looked
upon it as a natural exhibition of feeling, and did not feel
apprehension of riot. As I wee going to meet them I said
to the people, " Pens, peace—let no man raise his hand."
As the voters were escorted by military it was presumed
they were to vote for the unpopular candidate. After say-
ing to the people "De not raise your hands," I said to
them, If you wish to express your feelings, do so by
groans or shouts—not for the voters or military, but for
the lima who was the cause of lt—but let no blow be
struck." I meant to convey that they were not in fault.
I continued occasionally to repeat this expression until
we came to about the chapel. After @Aqui( 't Groan
the man that's the cause of it," I mentioned the man's
name. His name is Marcus Keane, the agent. He was not
present that day. Previous to that I had conversations and
interviews with some of these voters. It was in conse-
quence of these conversations I spoke to the voters on that
day. I addressed one of the voters when I first met them
and subsequently another. I spoke to one of the soldiers.
As a covered car Ira' passing me my attention wee called to
it, and I went over to draw the curtain to see who was in-
side. A soldier tried to push me back with his musket, and
I said to him—" Do not use this, there is no necessity for
it ; you need not dread that a hair of your head will be
touched, or that those voters will be iajured." This was
near Fbutnery's corner. I spoke to a sense' soldier. I saw
him put hie thumb on the lock of kis pia and cock it. I
said to him—" Leave that down, there is no necessity for
making see of it, you shan't be touched." He uncooked
the gun. During this time the euaduet and attitude of
the people were quiet and peaceful its far es I saw. Tie,
groaned, certainly, and I did not blame them. I didn t
see sticks or stooge used, and sew me threatimiag gestures.
I continued to exhort the people to rue and order. I
actually and positively need my bast UMW= to keep the
people from violence and angry densointratiew. I we-
sider,d that my duty as a Christian . I entered
the lane with the procession. I the house con-
nected with the potato-garden, and did not go further.
A gentleman name up, and, heading me a steoe, said,
"look. at thia." I took it in my hand, threw it inside the
road, and said, " Don't mind it." I don't know who the
gentleman was. I immediately lost eight of him. I saw a
soldier at the some side of the road I was, fire a shot. The
musket was pointed on towards O'Brien's corner. The
escort was going quick at this time. I think they went at
an uniform pace all through up to that. When I saw the shot
fired I returned immediately. When 'commenced to Mani
there were some soldiers in my rear. I said, " Fie, fie, mur-
der, murder." After passing the soldiers, I taw seven or
eight women and three or four men between this pass sad
the chapel, and I said to them, Go back, go bask, for
they are sheetlag the people. " That was nest the au-
kr I saw ia the rear of the soldiers. I ammo bath the
