Evidence was given proving the theft, and the attempt to

,to Mr. Combs, that be knew nothing of them. Thee Mr.

Mews. Titania: Rider Baldwin and Peter Bell, extensive
sugar-refiners„ and proprietors of a large sugar boom, were
charged with using furnaces so coostructed as sot to burn
or consume their own smoke. A gentleman from the firm
attended to answer the summons, taken out by Mr. Howse,
the superintendent of the K division, by order et the Home
forstAtuy. With a few exceptions all the large sugar-m-
-inimise and maoutaMorke in the important district assigned
to this mum have smoke-consuming apparatus in operation
es their premises and attached to their furnaces, sod the
impeeement in the public health and the hennaed can-
tles ef the inhabitants is univseeally acknowledged. It is
M he hoped the foreign and wanting steamers, which
bask forth dense columns of black emote while
lyteg at the whams and in their progress up and
down the river, will be provided with means for consuming
the smoke from their ships. If that is done, a great
anima will be put down. The essuiptioe in favour of
steamers proceeding beyond the New light, while steam
tap and passenger steamers navigating on the river only
are compelled to consume their smoke, is simply ridiculous.
In the ease of Mews. Baldwin and Bell, it was proved
by Robert Smith, No. 253 K. that he watched the chimney
shaft of the defendants' factory on the 24th of August last,
sod maw great quantities of blank smoke Wee from it. He
stood opposite the clock of the parish church of St. George.

Mr. Partridge—Twelve minutes continuous smoking?
Smith Y es, sir. On the 27th I stood opposite the church
again, and the chimney was sending forth smoke in a similar
meaner. The smoke was very black. There was not suffi-
cient room for it to come out.
Mr. William Sandisoe, engineer, made an inspection of
the defendarite furnaces on the 2nd December last. There
was a 16-horse power steam engine and two single tube
boilers. The furnaces were riot so constructed as to cae-
surae or bum their own smoke. Black smoke issued from
the chinney for three minutes. He had frequently seen the
chimney enaction since that time.
In cross examination by Mr. Hope, the manager of the
defendants' sager refinery, the witness said he mentioned
at the time of his visits where a large number of emirs-
tuxes foe the consumption of smoke were in use, but he was
forbidden by the government from reeonunemliog airy par-
ticular invention.
Mr. Hope called Mr. William Randall Hodge engineer,

to put up an apparatus for the coneumptiou of MOAB to the
defendants' furnaces, and be believed they were quite

THE MURDER IN WATERFORD.

The horrible details of the crime, which there is
1 strong reason to believe was perpetrated in a lonely mous-
' Min district in the county Waterfowl distant sours three
tease from Ballyiesearbry, are sow before the public—al
least ea they have Wm given by the young girl, Heoneary,
daughter of Thomas W he, the supposed murderer, nod
wife of Pat Ileunteay, the grandma of the aged man,
Thomas Connolly, who is missing moos Tuesday, the 29th
of September. According to the =omit 'Wee by the
youthful-wife of Hecommy —a girl but IT years of ap, and
desonhed as remarkably intelhgent —she was to some extent
an ye-witness of the fact, and, under • atroog penes of
horror, she hesitate* out, it would appear, to wine forward
and denounce her own father ea connected with the atrocioaa
deed. It is now univereelly believed that the tale unfolded
by the daughter of the prisoner Thomas Walsh. is true in
every particular. On Tuesday we visited the locality. In
a wild mountain district, some 12 miles from this town,
sad at a great elevation, steads the wretched cabin lately
occupied by Ca:moody, and attached to which the old man
had but • single acre of boggy laud. There is another cabin
close by, and below It a good slated house belonging to •
farmer named Flynn. Here lived old Connolly, with his
peadson, the latter of whom (Pat Hennessy), as has been
before mentioned, married the daughter of a man named
Thomas Walsh.. This Willett* pee Connolly • sum of 91.,
in order that he and his wife might be permitted to liv. in
the cabin with the old man and the young couple.
They bad been constantly quarrelling, and Welshes
wits charged Connolly with assaulting her os the
shoulder. The came, ea has bees stated, was dismissed, but
nine. that time the grandfather could not bear the
Welshes. la this state of disunion they ware living when
Hennessy left to look for work on the 213th ultimo. The
cabin, we should mention, mutates two rooms. One served
the purposes of kitchen, sitting, and bedroom. Light is ad-
mitted osly through the doorway leading to • yard in front.
In this room, on • heap of straw is • ream beside the fire,
the old man slept. In another MUM' • rode timber frame
work starved as • sleeping place for Welsh. and his wife.
The inner apartment had bees occupied by the young
ample as • bedroom. A piece of glees plastered into a
bole in the wall, and about four inches square, served
as • window. The parties in the house on the fatal
morning were Thomas Connolly (the murdered man),
Thomas Walsh* (the alleged murderer), and hie daugh-
ter, Bridget, married to Thomas Connelly's grandson
(Patrick Ileanaley) lam last Shrovetide. Patrick Hee-
limey was as that day working in Cl•Ohlifle. Bridget
Hennessy had called Thome& Conoolly to his breakfast, sod
went to the well Os her realm she found the door boned
out, and her father desired her to go away for a while. Be- ,
taming later she saw Thonau Casually oil the floor, and a
hatchet near bun. Her father was inside, and throttles&
to treat her in the same way if she made any alarm. He
made her subsequently help him to clean away the blood, sad
then dragged away the body into a turf-hour, where be
locked is, apparently till he examined the vicinity.
He thea took the hatchet end a block out of
the kitchen, with which he locked himself up
in the turf-house. Bridget Homogeny rays she baud
the noise of chopping for some time, after which, it is
said, .Walsh* brought oat the mangled portions of the
body in his arm, and buried then in two holes in the
garden. At night he took the body out in • sack, sad
remaised about two boors away and when he returned
out the clothes. He told Hennemy_ be had
buried the mangled remains in the Noonavoher " • hog,
and bad jumped as them till he had sank up to hie knees,
having taken off his shoes and stockings for the purpose. The
sloths* he buried as the same place, and hid the keys of
Connolly', box behind a arose Deer the cabin. These, from
the iodic:Maoris same gives by Bridget Hennessy, as also
some of the clothes, have Lees fitted, and are in the
possession of the authorities ; and we learn that whim
*thee up out of the black-looking pool, the trousers 'dispel-
led as belonging to the d • .e• were marked with bleed.
That night Walsh* and Hennessy 's wife remaiaed
the hones aloes, and the following night Harming
himself returned home, and was informed, upon inquiry,
that his grandfather bad gone away. Walshe had lets the
kitchen, where it kg asserted the old man was killed, and
thrown himself as the bed in the Maids room. Next day
Hessesey searched in vain, and then went to inform Con-
Paige Giblets, at Ballymacarbry, who employed all his
available men ix searching around, but then to no purpose.
The body still lies cooonaled. Bridget Hennemy him stated
sham that she remembers Welsh. saying, alter a march mode
by the grandma end neighbours on the Thursday ate, the
murder, that they did Pot Bed the body, because he had
taken care to choose for hie ha* of search the very ground
wider which the body wee. Then was • report in Chrome!

we fled such is not the case. On the contrary, he mum is-
