TIIE MURDER OF THOMAS BARRY, ES.:2 OF NORTH

,• FREDERICK-STREET.

Thursday last, about " eleven o'clock, George
Herenstal, Esq. Coroner and Magistrate 9f the
Count}- of Dublin; held an inqust on the body of
that unfortunate gentleman for several hours, at his
luiuse, above stated.

Major SWan was laudably aftive to discover the
delinquents, and ordered proper persons to take care
of the house and ptoperty of the said gentleman
(who had no family, but lived rather a retired life)
for his relatives, preventing any loss that might
take place, by pretended curiosity. -
It appeared Mr. Barry was murdered immediately
after dinner, and it is supposed thatthe servant who
took away the.cloth, gave the opportunity in open.
ing .the parlour-door, to 'the barbarian who took
away his life. The deceased was sitting at the
table his parlour, with a-decanter of witte, none
of whiCh ha had drank, and another.of water be-
fore him, a pair of Candles, and a newspaper which
he was reading with spethicles on, when the v-il-
lain stole upon him, and with a large pistol, more
likely.,a blunderbuss, loaded with slugs, shot away
part of his skull, and dashed away mote of it with
the muzzle : it was so heavily loaded; that the
shot which killed him, besides tearing part of the
back of -a chair Mr. Barry sat on, made a great
indention in the wall: his brains were scattered
about, and some of them were blown, up to the
ceiling of the room. 'lt is supposed there were more
than one man concerned-in the horrid deed : the de,
ceased was laid upon his back, on the floor, after
being murdered,. and -a loaded pistol of his- own
placed by his side, with a view, it is supposed, to
have it understood that heltad shot himself, but it
being charged defeated that intention. The alarm
of the murder was first given by the deceased's
female servant Catharine Delany he had no other
servant for some time, having discharged Francis
Revel, who is accused of being an accomplice in
the foul crime, some time before ; but it appeared
to several people who came to the house, in conse-
queme, that the deceased must have been killed
above two hours before, from the body being in a
cold" state, and some
srecolleeted to nave heard a shot
fired about such time.

Mr. Barry was sometimes a little deranged in
mind, and he' put away Francis Revel, his servant,
at whom he fired .2 pistol, in his yard, the same
time, for having, he said, strove to poison him in
bread ; but that man was seen frequently afterwards
gOing into the house in a clandestine manner.
It is supposed, that from the time he was mur-
dered until the alarm, the house was plundering ;
but as Mr. Barry led a-recluse life, it is nbt known
what_ property may have been lost. His watch was
found in his pocket, but his purse was empty ; none'
of his plate was taken al,Vay.' The lock of the
drawer of a clpthes press, where 35,0001. of scrip
lay, was forced open, and as that was, probably;
where he kept money or. notes; it is likely. what-
ever of such were there was carried away. In
searching, after the Inquest was overl a canvas
bag %Vas found among his shirts in a small trunk,•
containing fifty-eight guineas in gold, which his
`murderers, we suppose, did not suspel to be there ;
the deceased had an extraordinary habit of putting
his money 'in odd places.

•
The Coroner's Incfuest. brought in a Verdi& of
Wilful Murder, . by a- blunderbuss • or other fire_
arms, by a person, unkr)own—and that Catharine
Delanyi his servant, and, Francis Revel, were ac-
cessories.

Surgeon Obre attended the Inquest to examine
the corpse.

The strong circumstances, and the evidence that
came out on the Inquest, we forbear to mention,
lest it might, in any manner,' defeat the ends of
justice, in enabling the murderers to forma defence
against the charges. .
Mr. Barry, previous to the war, :was one of the
firm of an eminent house at Bourdeaux, viz. Bar-
ton, Barry, and Johnson. The deceased being a
zealous loyalist, quitted the partnership at the
breaking out of .the war, from- same difference he
had with his partner Mr. Johnson, placed his, pro.
perty in the English Funds, and came to this City.
Some very respelable Citizns of Dublin mention,
that Mr. Barry, when in 'Bourdeaux, was distin-
guished for hospitality to his countrymen, and was
much regarded ; but on his return to Ireland, changed
his usual disposition, chusing a reclnse life, neither
wishing to visit, or be visited.
He izas.of a respeCtable family in the County of
Meath, - and had been brought up, it is said, a
Wine. cooper in this Metropolis ; his property,-
which is said to amount to upwards of .80,0001.
was the acqUirement of his own industry. He ex.:
pressed an intention a short time before- his death
of returning to France.

The suspected servant-man, Revel, has abscond-
ed ; every Officer of the Peace Establishment of
this City has received orders to use the utmost dili-
gence and aaLvity for his apprehension. Catharine
Delany, the female servant, is conunitted to
mainham Gaol. The assassin, we hope, will soon
be brought to justice.
