SUICIDE OF SIR THOMAS FITZGERALD.—We
understand that letters have been received in town
stating that at an early hour on Wednesday morning Sir
Thomas Fitzgerald committed suicide by drowning himself
in the river Suir, adjacent to his residence at Golden Hills,

who was the son of Sir John Judkin Fitzgerald, held the
commission of the peace, and was the grand juror of the
country. He was in the prime of life and of prepossessing
appearance.—Dublin Tosi.
