this colony do ! Believe me, Sir, it is a generous wish ; for since
tuy arrival amongst them, I solemnly assure you I have never
witnessed as touch misery as I have beheld in my father's tinnily,
and, thanks to Providence! I never witnessed much there,
(although I have seen some). I have had charge of between three
and four hundred negroes for the last eleven years, and now have
nearly five hundred ; an that you will allow me to be a judge so
far in this matter: but the confidence is now much destroyed be.

FATAL AFFRAY IN THE COUNTY OF WEXFORD.

'From the Kia,-any Moderator.]
The circumstances of the fatal occurrence at Taghmon, in the
county of Wexford, on the night of Friday last (2d instant) hav-
ing been variously stated, the fallowing authentic paficulars, de-
rived from the polite communication of a gentleman who assisted
in the official investigation of the case, cannot but be highly ac-
ceptable:—
It appears that, between the hours of 11 and 12 o'clock, on the
night in question, which was the fair-night of 'faghmon, tterjetuit
Thomas 3loyles, of the Police, now stationed at that place, had
entered a public-house for the purpose of clearing it of a drinking
party, and, in the performance of that duty, was struck by one of
the company, on which the Serjcant went out, returnel with two
when of the Police, took the assailant into custody, and conducted
him to the gaud-house. The Police then returned to the public.
house, and on entering locked the door. A mob had collected out-
side and attacked the house, demanding the liberation of the pri..
tuner when the scrjeant (Moyles) after repeatedly calling on the
rioters to disperse, and the windows of the house having been en-
thely demolished, thought it necessary to the personal safety of
his party, to lire on the crowd. The shot took effect—it young man
of the Caine of Brennan was mortally wounded, and atter running a
short distance fell dead! Two more shots were tired by the sec giant,
happily without effect, and the crowd ultimately dispersed. Moyles
was taken into custody by C. Waddy, Eaq. tbe next resident Ma-
gistrate, we believe; and on the ensuing day an inquest was held
on the body of the deceased, before three Magistrates, in the
absence of die Coroner, who lived too remote front the spot to attend
on the instant, and a most respectable Jury.
Several witnesses were examined, and, after a minute inquiry
into this deplorable transaction, the Jury found—" That the
deceased, James Brennan, of Kilgarvan, came by his death by a
gun-shot wound, inflicted by Sergeant Thomas 31oyles, of the
police establishment."
The fatal ball entered by the right collar bone, penetrated the
lungs, and lodged in the heart. hloyles has been counnitted to
prison.
As endeavours may be made to attach a party feeling to this
melancholy occurrence, we deem it right to add, that Moyles, the
police constable, is a Roman Catholic.
