Richmond, wee trying to back two horses and a carriage into I
hismaster'e stable-yard, and net suceeeding ea readily as he
wished, he flogged the animals unmercifully with the butt-
aid of hi whip for seven or eight minutes. He had the
reins in kis hands, and as he struck the horses' legs be stag-
gered and fell, and the wheels passed over his body. De-
emed was intoxicated at the time, and was in the habit
when in that state of wantonly ill-treating the hones. De-
ceased contrived to walk home, but a surgeon being soon
afterwards called in, found that three of deceased's ribs were
broke., besides other serious internal injuries, and he sur-
vived but two dap. Verdict—. Died from bodily injuries

FROM SUICIDE ISTREIIB.—By Mr. G. 1. Mills, at the
Elephant and Castle, King's-road, Camden Town, on the
body of Eleanor Dove. The husband of the deceased is a
plasterer, residing at 34, Cambridge-street, Apr Town,
and had for some months past been unable to obtain employ-
ment, and his wife and family of seven children had conse-
quently been reduced to extreme distress. The deceased bad
applied at St. Pancras workhouse, and obtained some bread
as relief, but was told not to come again unless she sent her
husband. She had complained of her head for some time
past, and on Sunday morning, on her husband being awoke
by her eldest daughter, he missed deceased from his side.
The bare footsteps of a woman were subsequently traced to
the bank., of the Regent's Canal, which abuts on the garden
of the deceased's house, and the body was ultimately disco-
vered in the water.—Mr. Pitt, the agent of the board of
guardians of St. Pancras, explained that in the statement
made that deceased was to send her husband there was no
intention whatever to stop relief, which would have been
given bad a second application been made. The only object
was inquiry. Verdict," Temporary insanity."

sity of Dublin, in the room of the Right Hon. Frede-
rick Shaw, is fixed for Saturday next. As already

THE CLARE CONVICTS.
Rime, MONDAY.—On Saturday the high sheriff of Clare
received an order, commuting to transportation for life, the
sentencispf death on James Hayes, who, with Patrick Ryan
(Small), wan convicted of the murder of Mr. Watson, at the
late special commission. This act of clemency on the
part of the executive has given unmixed satisfaction,
as Hayes' participation in the dreadful crime was looked
upon as more than doubtful. No respite or oommutatien has
arrived for Ryan, who will suffer the extreme penalty of
the law on Tuesday. The unfortunate man appears to be I
doggedly indifferent to his awful fate, and pays neither
attention nor respectro the admonitions of the clergymen who
attend them.
Butler and Hourigan, under sentence of death for the
murder of Patrick Cleaty, and whose execution is fixed for
Thursday, both continue strong in their protestation of in-
nocence.
James Crow, convicted of having, with others, conspired
to procure the murder of Mr. Watson, devotes a portion of
each day to the arrangement of his worldly affairs. On
Friday last be made a will, devising his landed
and personal property in equal :portions to his wife and
children. His execution is hard for Saturday, the 19th. He
has not, up to this time, made any acknowledgment of his
guilt, nor has he reiterated the declaration of innocence made
by him immediately before the sentence.

THE LATE SPECIAL COMMISSION.—The judges were this
day occupied in chamber in the consideration of the case re-
served front the late Spvc!al Commission from Limerick, as
to the admissibility in evidence, as a dying declaration, of a
document signed by Patrick Cleary three days previously
to his death, in which he stated that Michael Butler was
the person who shot him, and that Mathew Hourigan was
present. Sentence of death was pronounced on both persons.
The Attorney-General and Mr. Bennett, Q.C., were heard
on the part of the Crown. and Mr. 011 ea on the part of the
prisoner; after which their lordships retired to the private
chamber. It is understood a difference of opinion exists
smongat the judges, and the two judges (Perrin and
Ball) at present sitting at the commission, were sent for.
There lordships have not yet declared their ruling.
