ervesung of lb. Wednesday,: the 7th, Mts. Pellvue,
retie was in the habit of doing frequently, went in to see
Mrs. French ; she saw French, mked him how he was, and
he said that he was better. Later on the same night, about
half-past 11, Mts. French rapped two ear there times at the
partition which divided her apartment from them occupied
ley the relliegs and said, " Make as much baits se yes
can." Mrs. Felling Rut up, and on the woman French let-
ties her in, she observed, "I think my husband is gone."
She seemed meth alarmed, and the husband of Felling •
shoemaker' went for the aid of a married woman, a nesihs
boar, named Fennell. Mrs. Freach then stated that the
deceased was first taken ill after Chrietmareirve, and that he
vomited. She also widest that he was labouring under some
rupture. The e1...Mi1...60110t the females Yelling 11111 i Fennell
brought out the fact that a young man of the name oflames
Hackman had often been seen at the deceased'. house. He
was generally seen there in the evening, and the last time
In was noticed there prior to the death of French was on
Tuesday, the 6th. The neat time he was seen wen on
Thursday. the day after the deceased had capered. Hack-
man had often been observed there when French was at
bowie, and it did sot wipear that he had complained of him
viutiaK his place. Hackman one evening called upon Mrs.
Fennell, and wished her to rto deceased'. house, ma Mrs.
French had fainted. A sanely of evidence was goes into
as to the treatment of the deceased, and it seemed
that he had complained ss far back as last
Christmas of pains in his bowels, and some needi-
. eine was supplied bin at the surgery of Mr. Holman
eif East Wittily. It was evident, however, that the illness
which ended in his death was of • very SWUM character,
as his brother, who worked upon the same farm with him,
was nut AVM a of his indisposition until between 12 and 1
o'etnek on the moraine of the Sth. when he was called up,
sad went and found him dead. With respect le the wife
applying fur and procuring arsenic, conclusive evidence was
adduced. On Mr. Superintendent Flannigan, the super-
inteodent of the constabulary, arresting her, she stated that
she hail n • perch...est any arsenic in her life, but that her
late husband had bought two separate halfpennyworths
at Mr. Nolier's last Christmas for destroying mice. Tbo
suncrintendent said he supposed she had heard the rumour
about hi. death. She remarked that she had, and added,
"If an orison is found in him he must have taken it him-
self" Mr. Holman, the surgeon, spoke of the result of the
post mortem ciamination of the body; and Mr. Alfred S.
Taylor, the eminent profeescr of chemistry of Guy's How ,
pica!, deposed to making the usual analysis of the contents
of the .tomach and the finding of arsenic in sufficient quan-
tities to cause death.

The 'aqua,' had not terminated when the nport was

At the Monaghan Special Commission on Satur-
day. Francis Kelly was again put forward before a
'fresh jury. on the same indictment, for the murder of
Mr. flateson. The witnesses produced on the former
trial were again examined, together with two or
three others, whose evidence, however, contained
nothing material. The case for the prosecution was
elated. and Mr. Butt, Q.C., will address the jury
to-day fur the prisoner.
True bills have been found by the grand jury
against Patrick Thornton and Thomas Ihxlgens for
unlawfully and knowingly carrying a loaded blun-
derbuss in a proclaimed district. It will be recollected
that these men were found by the police, two nights
• previously, under a hedge with a blunderbuss, lying
in wait, as it was believed, to murder a man named
Pat. M.Ardle, the head bailiff on the Marquis of
Bath's estate.
