MURDER IN SCARNIFF.

At five o'clock on Thursday evening, the 17th ult., as a
respectrble Protestant from 31ountshannon, named Charles
O'Callaghan, was passing through the streets of Scarriff, on his
return from Tomgreeny, he was attacked by a mob, who corn.
menced pelting stones at him. lie reasoned with them on their
conduct. saying, that " all the reason they could have was his
being a Protestant; but he could inform them that be was also an
(hangemen, and would die one !" on which declaration they put.
sued and beat him dreadfully with sticks, rec., and, were it not for
the Revenue Police, they would have murdered him on the spot.
However, he effected his escape into the Revenue Police Barrack,
where he remained for some time; but so intent were they on mut-
, dering him, that they waited in silence until the moment he again
appeared, when they sallied at him, and so furiously and cruelly
beat him, that until mob time as he expired, being a period of
about six hours, be never uttered a word.
On Friday the inquest was held, as also on Saturday, Tuesday,
aced Wednesday, mut that active Magistrate, the Rev. B. Hewlett,
hod every inhabitant of the town summoned; but such was their
reluctance. together with the gross prevarication and perjury re-
sorted to, that the Coroner and gentlemen present had frequent oc-
casion to express the greatest honor at some of the witnesses that
were examined and, although the crime was committed in open
day, in presence of et Iciest one hundred person., yet such.is the
state to which the minds of the lower order is at present excited,
that not one person out of that number would show the least incli-
nation to discover the perpetrators; and, althou)it the inquest was
held within • few yards of the priest's residerr:e (the Rev. Mr.
Vaughan), yet he news came mar the house, nor did he offer the
least assistance to the gentlemen engaged in the inquiry. The
sister of the deceased wrested the stick that was used in beating her
brother from a man whom she had seen give the fatal blow, and
was on her way to Mountshannon to acquaint her friends of the
misfortune, and also to give up the stick to proper authority ; but
she had not proceeded more than half a mile, when three of the
gang overtook her, and threatened her life it she did not give up
the stick. Foe fear of meeting the same fate as her brother, the
thought better to give it, but not without a struggle ; and on Tues-
day night the Rev. Mr. Hewlett, and Mr. Duff, chief constable,
with a party of his police from 'f romgreany, proceeded to Feakle
mountains, and succeeded in apprehending one of the gang, named
Heron, who, on being produced next morning to O'Callaghan's
sister, was fully identified by her as being the person who attacked
her and took the stick.
When the man was first attacked, and previous to the inter-
ference of the Revenue Police, be endeavoured to run into several
of the houses, but every door was closed against him, and those who
did not actually assist in the work of murder were not unsparing of
abuse and reproachful epithets, such as " B—y Orangeman !"
"Black Protestant !" &c.
A woman who was examined on the inquest acknowledged that
she shut the door against him. The stick was subsequently carried
in triumph through the streets of Scorch .
The inquest closed on Wednesday night, end the verdict returned
was as we stated in our Ltd.—Cale JOH, MIL
