Goof l Mr.en Golden-square,
was charged before Mr. Knox with robbing his employer.
It appears that the prisoner had been in the employ of
Mr. Ravenshear, as porter, for soome months, and in con-
sequence of Mr. Ravenshear having missed money for about
a month past, he communicated with Sergeant Cole, 23 C,
and by his instructions marked a quantity of copper money
and placed it in the till. The prisoner, who sleeps in the
parlour adjoining the shop, was, on Mr. Ravenshear
retiring to bed, locked as usual in the parlour,
Mr. Ravenshear taking the key upstairs with him.
The next morning, on Mr. Ravenshear coming down,
he missed about half the money he had marked from the
till, and called in Sergeant Cole, who, on asking the pc i-
Boner what he hag got in his pocket, turned out some
money, saying it was all he had, but on the sergeant search.
ing him he found more, which, as well as chat prisoner
had handed over, was part of the marked money. The
prisoner then admitted taking the money, but begged not
to be locked up. A most remarkable feature of the casowas
that the sergeant was unable to ascertain by what means
the prisoner was enabled to unlock the door and relock it,
no key being found in his possession or about the place.
Mr. Knox said it was a kind of robbery which showed
that it was not the prisoner's first offence, and as masters
must be protected, he should commit the prisoner for
three months' hard labour.

IRELAND.

DUBLIN, Sept. 4.

Two youths, named Michael Morrison and
Michael Clarke, aged respectively 17 and 16, were
yesterday committed by the coroner of the county
of Mayo to stand their trial at the next assizes for
the murder of Lawrence Connell, an acting-con-
stable of the constabulary force. The fatal outrage
was committed on the 27th of July, but the unfor-
tunate man lingered until last Sunday evening.
From his dying depositions and the evidence of
witnesses it appeared that as he was proceeding
through the streets of Castlebar to his lodgings, at
one o'clock in the morning, he was accosted by the
two prisoners, who addressed some insolent remark
to him. Not being on duty he took no notice of
them and walked on, but they followed him, per-
sisting in their endeavours to pick a quarrel with
him. At last, at a lonely part of the street, both
sprang upon him, threw him down and kicked him
violently. They then ran off, and he went to
a house that he had left a short time previously, but
while he was knocking at the door they returned,
and Morrison stabbed him in the neck with a large
clasp knife. Clarke at the same moment knocked
him down, and then Morrison knelt on his chest and
stabbed him three or four times, while Clarke
kicked him about the ribs and stomach. He tried
to draw his sword, but was unable to do so. Having
satisfied their vengeance they went away, and he
was soon afterwards conveyed to the infirmary;
where, after five weeks of intense suffering, he died,
as above stated, on the 30th ult. The knife with
which the murderous deed was committed was found
within a few paces of the spot, and the prisoners
were arrested next morning. The jury found Mor-
rison guilty of wilful murder, and Clarke of aiding
and abetting. The prisoners appear to have been
instigated solely by indiscrimivating hatred towards
all officers of justice, as it does not appear that they
had any cause for personal enmity towards their
victim. They had spent the previous day (Sunday)
at one of those scenes of superstition, riot, and dis-
sipation called " patterns," and had taken some
drink, but were not intoxicated.
