the bort:g of Thomas Bence, 36 years of age, who
was engag::n as a waggon driver, at the new North End
Docks, Deceas 'd was at work on Wednesday, having
two. iv....rses in charge ; there were six waggons on the
and when the deceased reached them he drew off the
horses and stepped off to unhook them, but, before ha
could do so, he was caught between the waggons and
killed. Verdict, " accidental death."
CHARGE OF MURDER.—The next inquest was held on the
body of John Kilduff, who lived at 20 court, New Bird
street, who met his death under the following circum.
stances :—lt appeared that on Saturday night, a man
named Patrick Kilroy, and the deceased, had some falling
out, and a fight followed, when the deceased was struck by
Kilroy with a piece of wood on the head, and the result
was the fracture of the skull of deceased. It appeared that
the deceased was the landlord of Kilroy, and that the latter
had received notice to leave, and he was heard to say that
before twelve that night he would have blood for it, and
accordingly he came at half past eleven that night and
created the disturbance which ended in the row that
terminated in the death of deceased. Surgeon Townsend of
the Southern Hospital, proved that death was the result ot
a fracture in the skull, caused by external violence. "Ate
coroner summed up the evidence drawing the 11:;fference
between murder and manslaughter. The '".pry found a
verdict of wilful murder, and the coroner i':3ued his warrant
for the committal of the prisoner, who is already in
custody.

FRENCH RELIGION,—We read in Galignani, " The
relics of the passion of our Saviour, preserved at the
cathedral of Notre Dame—the crown of thorns, the
nails, a largo piece of the true cross, &c.-are at present
exposed to the veneration of believers, and will continue
to be so this day, to-morrow, and Friday next."

THE CONDEMNED CONVICT, NATION.—The execution of
Thomas Nation, condemned to death at Taunton, on
Saturday last, for the murder of John Aplin, has been
fixed for Tuesday, the 21st inst. On Sunday the prisoner
had a lengthened interview with his father and brother,
but he made only slight reference to the charge of which
he had been convicted, and nothing in the shape of admis-
sion of the justice of his sentence, or a confession of his,
guilt escaped him.
