REMARKABLE MURDER.

DEPLINCOUSIISSION INTELLIGENCE, OCT SI..

John Simi's. Jaws Comolly, Thomas Shields, and
Christopher Ihntegmi, were indicter, for the mur-
der of Thomas Cu 1111 l ngliant, in the month of May
last, at Santry, in the county of Dublin.
The ciremostuuces of this case were rather un-
usual. The Prisoners at the bar, together with the
deceased, and an approver, of the name of %looms
Dwyer, in the month of May last, went out to
commit robberies ; and, in the evening of the 35th
of that month, they stopped a jaunting ear, and
were stimuli to rob a man, of the name of Kelsh,
who was upon it, when the pistol, which the Pri-
soner Sinnot the,' had, went off. by accident; and
the contents hiving lodged in the left breaYt of
their tympani 1111 l Thomas Cunningham. he was
brought upon the jaunting ear of the man they
stopped, (who Will acquainted with one of the rob-
bery), to kelsh'Y house, where he lant.luislied.alsout
yen hours, slid then died. The next evening,
Dwyer, the approver, with the two Prisoners. Co-
ttony and Shield., came and took away the body,
and it was buried in taysnevin church-yard ; but iu
a few weeks after, when some robbers were appre.
headed in the county, this transaction came to
light ; the body was taken up. and an inquest waY
held.

The evidence upon the trial gave all the circom-
stances and facts in the dearest 'mint of view ; and
Lord NOILIIL'ItY, after layiui down the law of the
case, gave a must impartial charge to the Jury, who
retired for some time, and returned with a verdict
against all the Primsiterii--GM/ty.
Lord NORISCRY then, a very impressive man-
ner, pronnuneed the awful sentence of the raw,
punniant to the statute, by which the, are to he ex-
ecuted nu Thursday next, mol their bodies handed
over to the surgeons for dissection.
All the Prisoners, upon receiving sentence. cos-
doete.l themselves in the most hardened manner;
declaring their innocence, and galling the Jury a
set of perjured men.
