AlExaserioLv Amor: cr.—On the evening of the
10th inst. after the adjournment of the Special Sessions, as
Sir J. C. Coghill, Hart. was driving home to Ballyduff, his
coach was instantaneously overturned at the shelving of
the old road from the new, near nangati Wood, and we
lament to say, the coachman was killed on the spot, the
back part of his skull having been beaten in, either by the
shoe of one of the after horses, or by his having fallen on
one of the pointed rocks which abound ou that fatal spot.
Sir J. C. Coghill, who was alone in the carriage, like au
experienced sailor as he is, when he found the coach going,
clung to the loops on the starboard side, and happily es-
caped unhurt. It is remarkable that none of the glasses
were broken, though the carriage actually rolled down the
bal.—Le/niter. Journal.
A general respite for Harris bas been forwarded to
Hertford gaol, from the Home Department.
