ANOTHER HORRID PARTY MURDER.

•
Exxisitt.taxP Auo. 6.--Constantine Martin, the per- I
son stated in our last to have had his skull fractured near
Seineleck, flied in the hospital on Sunday morning.
In noticing that circurnetanc..l last week, we mentioned
erroneously that it occurred in a riot. 'l'he following is I
the true state of the case, as appeared on the inquest. On I
Sunday week, some young men from the neighbourhood of
Castlecoole attended a patron at Kinawly, and on their re-
turn home in the evening went into a sheeban-house, near
Balnaleek, to drink, bringing with them a few other per-
sons of that neighbourhood, in order to treat them for the
trouble of ferrying them across the lake. They remained
in the house until a late hour, and on going along the road
homewards they were assailed by a volley of stones from
behind a hedge. Two of the party wen: into the field
from whence the stones were thrown, and seized one of the
persona in the act ; they brought him to the road, but did
not molest him, stating, that they would apply for justice
next morning. Some others of the assailing party ran to
a wake-house in the neighbourhood, and called for assist-
ance, stating that William Scarlet had been taken prisoner,
and would be murdered. A number of persons, from fif-
teen to twenty, ran from the wake, and arming themselves
with hedge-stakes, and other weapons, followed the for-
mer, calling them " ('astlecoole rebels," &c. On coming'
up with them, they attacked a man named Dyer, and the,
deceased, the rest having fled on their approach. These
are the circumstances of the case, as they appeared in evi-
dence. The verdict of the jury was, " 'fliut Constantine
Martin came by his death from an extensive fracture of
the skull, inflicted by a heavy blunt weapon, or stone, by
SIAM person or persons to the jury unknown." The de-
ceased, we understand, was a peaceable, inoffensive man,
and gave no possible provocation for the attack upon him.
Nine or ten persons have been taken and lodged in gaol,
charged with having been concerned in the murder.
