Dosuir, May 6.
Thu actuation produced by the atrocious murder
of Mr. Coulter has not yet subsided. At the
adjourned inquest, which will be held to-day, some
important revelations are expected to be made. The
only witnesses, as to the fact of tbe murder, exa-
mined on Saturday. were Michael Farrell, a servant
of the deceased, who deposed that, on giving his
master his horse on Friday morning, he wished him
a safe journey in a manner which must have ap-
redominous to Mr. Coulter, who asked him why
c did so, observing that there was no cause for fear.
Farrell then went to work in a field which was only
a quarter of a mile from the scene of the murder,
but swore positively that he did not hear a shot fired,
and that a woman named Anne It'Guinness did not
tell him on the road that a man was murdered, or
mention his master to him. The following is an ex-
tract from the report of the inquest :
Anse M'Guinness, a respectable-looking woman, was
next sworn. She deposed to having heard a shot near
the smith's forge, on her way to Dundalk. She saw
three men running away, and a horse, which she knew
to be Mr. Coulter's, running also. Met a little boy with
an asp. Ile asked was there any police or clergymen
near, as a man was murdered above there, and the three
men ru • g were the men that did it. Witness then
I went down a bit, and saw last witness inside the ditch.
' Asked him had Mr. Coulter gone to the fair of Cross-
, maglin. Ile said " Yes,." To another question of hers he
said be (Mr. Coulter) had time to have passed the Cross. She
I said, " thank God, it can't be him is murdered above
there, though 'lis his horse." To this observation Michael
Farrell replied, " Oh, no. he had time to pass; go on and
say no more, 'tis hest fur you."
The last witness (Farrell) was here brought in and con-
fronted with Anne }['Guinness, when she again repeated
in his presence her conversation with him, all of which he
denied.

Witness (in eontinuation).—Went down to a field where
men were working. On her way met a man of Mr. Richard
Dayly's, named Deter Wood, told him what she saw and
heard. He said nothing, but took hi. way on to Dundulk.
Told the men in the field also, and they ran up and found
it was Mr. Coulter.
. .

Drs. Brown and Donaldson were sworn, and deposed to
having made a post ',wisps examination. They found 18
wounds on the head, and one on the neck, making in all 19.
There wero also some contusion.. on the knees. The skull
was fractured and driven in about half an inch on the brain,
and those two wounds were of themselves sufficient to hare
mimed death. The wounds were indicted a ith a blunt in-
strument. Found no traces of a gun-shot wound.
Here the Coroner, after consulting with the resident ma-
gistrate, and Mr. Hill, will-inspector, intimated his intention
of adjourning the inquest until Tuesday, and he would in
the meantime commit Farrell to gaol.
