DUBLIN cAsTLF..
It having beam recently stated is, several of the English
Prints, as one of the censes which probably would pervert
the fedSlinent of his Majesty's grarious Wit-inborn of visiting
this country, " that the Castle of, Dublin was not iii a sitoia•
lion 111 to receive him—as it bad nothing done to it sinre the
Lord Lieutenantry of the Duke of Rutland ;" we consider
it nor duty, as soon as possible, to confect this rev:moos
statement, since we MI with truth assert, thee none of the
public edifices of this city have undergoue more Imre', as
well as permanent alterations sod improvements, within the
last .twenty years, limn the Castle of Dublin. We may
without any degree of presumption say that the Castle of
Dublin is at present not only • suitable residence for the
representative of Majesty, but also such a mac as is, and we
trust will be considered, not altogether.undescrvine of bi4oor

neighbouring family ; when •hout mid-way to Kilworth, they
were stopped by a single footpad, who robbed them of*
gold watch sad what money they had about them, without
the servant being able to afford them any assistance. A short
lime afterwards the agent of John Hyde, of Castle Hyde,
Esti. M.P. was also stopped and robbed by the same fel-
low. When Mr. Finlay (the agent) got off, he hastened into
Kilwords; made known the particulars of these daring rob-
beries, and described the fellow must particularly, which in.
dnced Mr. Boyce, a spirited gentleman of that place, to ride
off tonsiedistely in pursuit of him. Heshurily came in sight
of a nos who he conceived answered the deacriptioo—his -
smipicions were well-founded ; for on inquiry he was identified
by a lad who saw him commit the roldarries. Mr. Boyce rode
up, and seeing bias armed, called 11111 to him to sorrenaler—the
villain, who took up his position in a gap, lostautly pretest.
ed at Mr. B. sad when in tile act of pulling the trigger, re-
ceived that geotkmaa's fire, and was kilted on the spot.
The body was brought into Fermi!, and was recognised to
he that of a quarryman named Adams, who resided there.
An inquest- was held uss Snootily by six Ms/titivates, in the
absence of a Coroner, and a verdict accordingly returned.
