The Judicial Committee of the Privy Council
yesterday delivered another judgment, confirming
a judgracnt of the Encumbered Estates Commis-
sioners:

The case in whicti the appeal was made was that of Mr.
J J. Bodkin, which came before the council on the peti-
tion of the Bee. Julia C. Leaey, of the city of Curk ; the
Rev. Robert A. White, of Denmark-street, in the city of
Dablin ; and the Ike. Dominick Smith, of Esker, in the
county of Galway, Boman catholic clergymen. The appel-
lants were trustees in succession to the parties concerned iu
the origival mortgage, of the Made of the Convent of the
Dominican Order iu the town of Galway, which had been
lent lf4 way of mortgage on the estate of Mr. Bodkin, and
whicli had been 10-t to the community under the order of
the Incumbi red Estates Commissioners, now appealed
against. The mortgage in question was mode between
James Bodkin nod James B. Val, for the sum of
1,941 D. 12s. Gill., Irish eurreaey, and hire date Dec.
MK. By a euhaequent deed, bearing date the 11th of
Augest, 1813, the mid sum of 1,9581. 12.. /VA. was as-
signed and secured by a mortgage to the suipellants in
the present case. Ily an order of the commis-
shiners for the sale of incumbered estates, mule on the
4th of December, lttltt, the Linde comprised in the
mortaasto were directed to be sold, and the petitioners then
filed their lake on foot of the mortgage ; but an objection
was filed in the same schedule by the owners on the
grounds that the niortgair and a collateral judgtnent which
had lean obtained had been paid tiff. The matter of objec-
tion having come on to be heard before Mr. Commissioner
Hargrave, it w..s ruled against the objecting parties, and an
appeal wag made to the full court to have the order re•
versed. On the hearing of this appeal, the court made an
order bearing date the 31st of May, 1811, unfavenrable to
the appellate•; who, consider:Bg themselves aggrieved by
mid order, have made the present appeal to the Privy
Council. The Lord Chancellor delivered judgment. They
were of opinion that the Incumbered Estates Commis-
sioners had made a proper order in the present instance,
and whatever qeeition there might be as to the actual pay-
meet of the mortgage, there was nothing in the case tu en-
title the parties to rely upon these instruments
In consequence of the decision of the Privy Coun-
cil, an issue will be sent to a jury to determine the
question of payment, which, in reality, is the import-
ant question between the parties.
A correspondent of the Evening Mail furnishes
the folios% log account of a murder attended by cir-
cumstances which give it an agrarian character :
iII:NOMITAN, Ut.T. 2.3.-lA,t evening, at alma eight
o'clock, a mail named James Troy, a bailiff to MeEdinond
H. Walsh, was barbaruualy murdered at a place called Eil-
longford, on the high road, on his way home from this
town, it is sectional by bricks and stones. Ilia herd is a
complete mummy. lie was over sixty year. of age. It ,
appears that the Bev. Mr. Smith, who had a mortgage on
Mr. Walah'e property, called Grange, in the county Wa.
tea, ird, teak proceedings in Chancery het June fur a re-
ceirer, and fur a sole of the estate ; on which a Mr. Sher-
lock, who was trustee and agent to Walsh, got all the te-
nants to pass mutes fur the relate due the 11th of March last,
and Trey was the witness to the execution of
these notes. That the tenants seem processed to the
semitone now going on here, and as they were to be heard
to-day before the bar rioter, no doubt whatever exists but
that ho was murdered by, or at the instance of these
tenants, to avoid giving evidence this day, and thereby
getting decrees. Some of the prue...se. were Lothian as 401.
It also appears that all the teatime were in town, and em-
ployed an attorney to detcud the processes, which were die
missed to-day, in consequence of no witnesses atteuding.
The magistrates have gone to the scene and are investigate
ing the murder, and it is proved that *erne of the tenants
offered Troy 3/. to remain at home and not come to the ses-
sions. Mr. Walsh has brought this property into the In-
cumbered Estates Court, and not long since three houses
were burned on the lands, and the grand jury directed the
value of the injury to be levied off the townland. The un-
fortunate man has been heard frequently to declare that
lie was certain that he would be murdered.
