FtITHEI TART IC I:LARS.

A resumed investigation of the circumstances attendant on the
above barbarous outrage took place yesterday at the divisional of.
Lice of police, Lantbeth.street, IVhi echapel.

This additional inquiry was considered indispensably requisite.

Before the business was gone into, a crowd of the lower order of
Irish, all, if we were to judge by the expression of their counie-
halides. deeply interested in the impending fate of their wretched
pountrymen, thronged the vicinity of the office.
Precisely at 12 o'clock the criminals now in custody, Devils and
iniressce Atearty, were placed at the bar. The former throughout
the day preserved an undisturbed self-possession, while the letter,
by convulsive movement about the eye+, and a hectic flushing of
the countenance, occasionally. betrayed much mental suffering, and
a consrionsness of the awful utuatiou in a hieli ungovernable passion
had placed him.
The 31agherstes who presided at the inquiry were Sir D. Wig,
Li.113/4, M. WYATT, Esq. and the Iter• Mr. MATHIAS. 31r.
Townsend, the overseer, and 31r. Jones, the vestry clerk of Bruin_
ley, were in attendance on the part of the prosecution, as was also
Ittv. Mr. Tyrrell, Roman Catholic pastor of Stratford, to

the examination would, in all probability, prevent the witnesses
from prevaricating in so gross a manner as they haul at the ioqui-
widow, and influence them to tell the truth. The Rev. Gentleman
was politely accommodated with a seat on the bench, and was of
material assistance in eliciting the facts, and reconciling those ths-

The time occupied during the investigation was of considerable
length, and required so much patience in reducing its details into
earthing like lucid order, that it was not until after the usual hours
as business that it was brought to a close.•
The prisoners, at the suggestion of Sir D. Williams, declined
Geeing any defence. They were fully committed on the capital
chow, and on being removed to the lock-up room, were acconapa-
lied by the Hey- d 1 r. Tyrrell, who conversed with them foe a short
tune.
