_ had some beer, and also a,
tion with Elizabeth Brown and A.
About one o'clock in the morning
Macdonald, and myseU went outsi
and Star doors and had some convent
both Brown said to me, Can we get in. me
Toga' I said, Yes; I have got a bottll 'f gin
there ;' and she replied, ' Then let us so.' She asked
Macdonald to go with u.s, saying, We shall have
plenty to drink ;' and one said, `No, one man with
one woman is plenty,' and we then left Macdonald,
and went sound to Mr. WAdelow's, by the church
walk, through the little gate, into the Gecrge and
Star yard, which adjoins the mMtiog prernisi's, :And
got an to the cow crib over the -Tali on to kil-
derkins in the malting.yard, is the manner de,
scribed at my trial and v. ent into the kiln thrcuph
the door which Smedley and I had left unlocked. She
(Brown) at that time was smoking a long pipe, and
when we f_.-,ot into the furnace-roun I deew a (port
pitcher full of gin out of the jug, and we sat dawn
on the settle and drank most of it but not all "of it,
both of us smoking,. We had sat down about. half
an hour when I wanted to take tberties with her,
but she would not let me. I pulled her off the
settle. She kicked and knocked about, and got hold
of my hair, and in the struggle I hit her on the body
with my fist, and she fell on the floor. I then kicked
her on the body more than once. She did not scream,
out. I then felt so bad,l did not know what to do, es
I felt I had killed her. I stooped Town and got hold
of her and shook her, and found that she was really
dead. I then drank heartily of some more gin.
There were some sacks lying on the settle, which I
took off and pulled round her, end set fire to them
by putting a shovelfull of hot cinders on the sacks.
I sat down on a block against the furnace, and
watched the burning. After I had watched the
burning about an hour, I drank some more gin and
stirred up the burning sacks. I then sat down again
and went off to sleep I expect."

descended from the civic chair, and toe Swordbeorer
having taken from him the wand, the gold chain,
and collar of S S, invested Peter Paul Mce winey
with these visible signs of office, and that gentleman
then took his seat as Lord Mayor for 1864 amid
loud cheering. The new Lord Miyor then ad-
dressed the Council, expressing his thanks for the
honour he had received. He seemed to have caught
something of a fiery and martial spirit from the
national emblems which met his eye in the proces-
sion, as appears from the following passages in his
speech :—" I arn proud to be called on to preside
over a city which not only rightly claims to be the
second city in the empire, but which has many noble
and distinguished qualities which would entitle it
to be the first. If the absence of grievous crimes, of
those unnatural atrocities, of those dark revelations
which give on unenviable notoriety to other cities,
and which pollute the atmosphere of the people who
live in them—if the absence of all those hideous
deformities give Dublin a claim to a high place,
most certainly Dublin will not be second to any city
in the world. If that appreciation of the sanctity of
domestic life which forbids the presence of a Divorce
Court—(cheers)—if the absence of that massacre of
the innocents which takes place elsewhere, if high
and noble qualities among our public men—and
during my short career in this city I have had rea-
son to respect and admire the public men of Dublin,
not only the members of this corporation for their
zealous devotion to the discharge of their duties, but
those gentlemen who conduct public boards, rail-
ways, banks,minieg, and other important institutions
of our country—if the possession of these ennobling
qualities entitles a city to a first place, surely Dublin
will not be the second. I cannot but hope that
during my year of office I will be enabled to essert
that which the ex-Lord Mayor so nobly asserted
during his year of office—the claim of Dublin to its
proper position by prescriptive right of the second
city of the empire, and that you will all sustain me
whenever the citizens and our fellow-countrymen
are attacked by an alien press—by those who can-
not put pen to paper without maligning the charac-
ter of our countrymen, and taking advantage of the
few exceptions I have alluded to to represent us to
Europe as demons, as wretches hardly removed from
the lowest state of barbarism, and fit only to be
arrayed at one side or the other of the massacres
now going on in Virginia and Tennessee."
Sir J ohn Gray, in a highly complimentary speech,
moved a vote of thanks to the late Lord Mayor,
which was seconded by Alderman Atkinson, and
supported by Mr. Sullivan, who spoke in a similar
strain of eulogy. The Lord Mayor, in putting the
resolution, expressed his warm concurrence, and
said " a grateful nation would retain the memory of
his good deeds engraved on its heart for ever.'
The ex-Lord Mayor responded, and referred to his
conduct during his year of office. He marred the
effect of his speech on such an occasion by referring
rather bitterly to the " malicioas and paltry attacks"
made upon him during the year.
After the necessary formalities were gone through
the procession resumed its progress through the
city, passing down Parliament-street, over Essex-
bridge, up Capel-street, Dorset-street, and round
by Ssckville-street, over Carlisle-bridge, and back
to the Mansion-house.
