DUBLIN, OCT. 4.
MURDER OF MR. ANDREW GANLEY.—We are led to
copy the following report of a Coroner's Inquest giving it
in integro from the columns of the Mail of the above date,
because we have little doubt that that journal, with all the
other papers in the pay of the Orange party, will make
this report a cheval de bataille, from which the political
poltroons may discharge their venomous attacks upon the
friends of the people. They will no doubt protest long
and loudly that the fatal result which appears to have fol-
lowed the beating of Andrew Ganley, is conclusive evidence

of the existence of Ribbonism. Nor shall we he surprised
if the wretched organs of that party which might appro-
priately be designated the inveterate and implacable op-
pressors of the many do not stop here. Experience of their
utter recklessness and defection from all truth and decency,

,eads us to look for a more monstrous stretch still of men•

dacious malignity. We already have the tocsin sounded
by the Mail. We shall soon hear that murder stalks
abroad throughout the land—that the Roman Catholics
have entered into a foul and bloody conspiracy—that it is a
dreadful and wide-spreading plot, and so forth—the object
of which, of course as a corollary of the pions inven-
tion, it will be declared is to exterminate the Protestant
religion, and massacre its conscientious professors !
Happily, however, the motives of these miserable men—
mora contemptible by their political vileness even than in
their miserable minority—are now notorious. They have
lost the confidence of all but of those few dupes whose cre-

dulity is co-extensive with the brazen baseness of the politi-
cal knaves who live and batten Fon the sale of delusion.
The following is a verbatim et literatim report of the
lamentable private transaction, which, it is anticipated, will
form the subject of much Tory talk and Orange declamation.
On Monday, Alderman Perrin and a respectable Jury
held an inquest in No, 2, Lurgan-street, for the purpose of
investigating the circumstances connected with the death of
Mr. Andrew Ganley, who was waylaid and beaten in Ral-
ston-street, on the night of the 22d of September last, and
expired on Sunday morning. The first witness examined
was-.

Peter IVl‘Carroll—This witness, on being sworn, stated
that he did not know anything about the " beating" of the
deceased on the night he was beaten. Was in bed before
eight o'clock that evening. There was no such expression
used as that " 111‘Carroll was coming with a spade, and
would split the heads of the party." Never said that he
used such an expression on that night. Lived in Halston-
street. Did not know, and did not say he knew, the spot
on which the deceased was beaten. Did not go to sleep till
an hour after he went to bed, and did not hear any noise in
the street.

Mr. James Ganley (brother to the deceased)—lf a per-
son swore that you did know about the matter, and that
you were present, what would you say ?

Witness—All I can say is, that I know no more about
the matter than the child unborn ; knew Mr. Doyle,
of the egg-market ; he was a respectable man, ar. I was
deserving of belief ; never told that gentleman anything
about the matter ; the first he heard of it was from Mr.
Doyle.

Mr. James Doyle sworn—The witness (M'Carroll)
showed him the place on which the man was murdered,
and told him that he ran out with a spade, when one
person cried out, " here is Nl‘Carroll, he will cleave you
with the spade ;" asked him if he knew any of the persons.
and be said they came from the Coal-quay market ; this
occurred the day after the transaction.
Thomas Daly examined—Lives in Hulston•street ; was
in that street between four and five o'clock on the evening
in question, and not out after that ; was in the house
when he heard the noise in the street ; heard a man beaten
as it were with sticks ; ran to the door ; " there is some
man beating here," said he (witness) ; came to the door
again and saw a man running by ; got a candle and
went over to the place where the man was lying ; got
him up on a car, and had him conveyed away ; one of
the party -ran into Ball's-lane ; he came from the side of
the street where the man was beaten, and that was the
only reason which made him (witness) suppose that he
was one of the party ; to the best of his opinion heard
the deceased say, " Do not murder me ;" would not know
the run away man he ran so quickly ; believed that he
wore shoes.
Mary M'Carroll examined—All she know about the cir-
cumstance of Ganley's " beating" was, from hearing of it
the next day ; her husband did not stir out the whole
night ; he did not go out from the time he went to bed
till he got up in the morning ; did not hear any noise in
the street, for God knows she could hear but badly then.

Matthew Nolan examined—Lives in Halston-streei

lives with Mr. Smith ; recollectstilenight of the 2•? d ; had
come in from the stable about nine o'clock on that eve-
ning, when he heard a scream, and a person shouting out
" murdur, murder ;" ran out ; saw a man passing up the
street ; saw another man running up a lane, and also a
black object lying on she street ; came up to the man ;
he (deceasedysaid " Take me out of this ;" " Why, what is
the matter with you—are you injured ?" asked witness ;
" Oh yes," he replied, " I am gone ;" told his master about
the matter ; his master saw the deceased, when placed upon
the car, and he made the observation that he could not be
so much injured as he was represented to be, or be would
not be able to sit upon a car the men had uo bludgeons ;
it did not appear to him that their faces were blackened.
Henry Goodwin examined—Recollects the night that
Mr. Ganley was beaten ; was standing at the fountain at
the time ; heard " the beating," and ran towards the
place where the noise was, but the men had fled before he
came up ; was told by a young woman and man that the
men had ran away ; would know the young man who told
him so.
John Ganley, examined—ls brother to the deceased ;
produced two documents which were handed to him by his

brother aftcr he was beaten, and which he gave as the
reason of his being beaten :

FIRST LETTER.
" Thady Hanly—l suppose you are determined to continue
your dealing with the Hanoverian ; but recollect what the
consequences will be, and also recollect there was intercession
made for you this time, as, perhaps, not knowing what Ganley
and Garrett done, the two Hanoverians, after refusing several
clergymen. Mullony may look out for himself, an ye both
could not but hear what he done. There arc other persons
dealing with Ganley who 'has quit him, and also those who are
with him at present, and begs to have this time free ; but let
them mark the consequences next time—let them not think this
will be forgot like the last time when his brother shot the man
in Longford. There is a sharp look out for little King, who will
meet the fate of others.

" Addressed—Mr. Thady Hanley,
at Mrs. M'Dermott's, Bridge-foot, street."
