Tuesday se'nnight; Henry Sargent, Esq. one of
His Majesty's Justices of the Peace for the county
of 'Waterford, field an inqUeSt on the body of Mr:
Redmond IWGrath, of Carrick.-on_Suir, who was
found drowned at the Island of Kean; near'Trairnore,
*hen the, j a
'jury brought in yerditt, 'of accidental
death. He had spent the day at a gentleman's
house' in the neighbOtirhood, and, the night being
extremely dark,
,when 'he
,was 'returning home, is
supposed to have.been.the occasion of the melancholy
catastrophe.

Two.causes Of.a Singular•nature, have been tried
lately in the Consistorial Cour, Limerick; Wore-
the John Hoare, Vicar-General of that disocese:
—The causes were nearly sithilar. ,
The Libel in each case was against three persons
for perjury; in an Ecclesiastical cause, and for causing
a marriage to be solemnized knowing that the first
husband was living. The parties were the woman
whose first husband is.alive, the woman's father who
gave her away each time in marriage, knowing,the
first husband, to be living; and the person who got
Married to her, and who knew of this canonical
impediment-. In :each case the License was taken
out in the maiden name •of the woman,' that less
suspicion might be excited, and the oath administer.
ed 'to the parties and taken by them was, that :It
the rime of .granting the License, there 'was no
Pre-coutrait, Pre-eggagement,":r an4y legal Impedi-
ment ra hatsoe‘ver, to their. Kno,xledge or Belief.
The Libel, in the first case being fully supported,
and the testimony being perfeftly satisfaelory to the
Court, the parties were.sentenced to the greater
Excommunication for causing thZ Marriage to be
soleMniied under such Circumstances, and to be.
separated froth such illegal marriage ;to do Penance
at the discretion of the Cout't for the Perjury, and
to pay such costs as should be decreed.
While. the parties remain under this sentence of
Eicommunication, they are not capable- of suing at
'Law for any debt ; their oath cannot he admitted
in any Court of tice ; they cannot make a Will ;
and if they, ienia in 'undei this :.sentence for 40 dam
on an application to the King int Chancery, a Wri:
is issued to the Sheriff's to. cOinrifit. the offenders to
the common gabl, till satisfaftion be made to ti'“.-
Ecclesiastisal Power,
.and all costs be paid..--.=The
second cause is still before the Court:,
