A calms, am or vtokauct in Limerick has ended in a
murder. A few days since, a man named Nicholson, was re-
turning from the infirmary of Limerick, whither he had
been to fetch home his brother, who had been • patient
there, when he was attacked by a party with whom he had
had some quarrel, and such injuries were indicted on him
as to awe his death.
