THE LATE BRUT AL MURD FAR IN TIPPERARY.

It was stated at Thurles, on Monday, that the unhappy
victim of the midnight legislator was shot with a pistol, and from the
road where, as is now generally supposed, the awful deed was
perpetrated in the following manner. The driver, a youth about 17
years of age, haying got down to remove an obstruction on the road,
was engaged in se doing when a shot was 11*(11 from behind the
she' ter of . lmo,t the oily bush on the bye-real by which the poor
victim was being driven towards home. From the nature of the
wounds It must be manifest no pistol could have so effectually done
its work, and as there were no less the, seven wounds about the
region of the heart, it must have been with a blunderbuss that the
',retched miscreant, the assasein, Ered. Two slugs have been taken
from the wounds. Oa hearing the she', the driver at once turned
round and cried oat, oh, m aster. a-e yon her: ? whoa p• or Mr.
Ellis said he was shot, fell off the car, and almost iastantane
expire]. The .driver hastened tow.als the pole.: barrack to
inform the inmates of the outrage, and I am informed made a
great outcry along the road thereto, which was distant about
a mile; but although the place was thickly inhabited, and the
inhabitanth of the hoases were many of them roused from their
slumhe s, yet no attempt was made to persue the dastardly villain
or villaini who pe.petrated so foul a deed. Mr. Ellis had a farm in
the neighbourhood of Mountmellick which he w s accustomed to
visit almost weekly, and it was well known that he was anx'ons to
return to his residence at Eilruvh each Thursday night In order to
pay la's workmen. He also generally travelled another road home,
but by some fatality the boy &eve this night through the borheen,
where there was not even room to turn a car. Whether this change
was intended or not on the part of the driver, remains for the an' ho-
rides to find out, but it appears at present somewhat suspicions. It
could not be for the sake of plunder the foal deed was committed,
inasmuch as a large sum of money was found on the deceased when
brought home, and the mur er can only be Tooke 1 up n in the light
of an agrarian outrage. The funeral of Mr. Ells took pia eon
Sunday, and was most numerously attended by all the cur-
rounclaig gentry, bathe fa-ming class were not at all represented.
