„last the Right
Hon. Chief Baron O'GRAny, and, the, Hon. Baron
GEORGE, arrived at Kilkenny, from Clonmel, and
on Monday opened their commission, and proceed,,
ed to business.
Hugh Do?ile was indiaed for the murder of ii
Eiwyn; a hoy.of three years of' age. This
case afforded an awful example of the danger of
yielding to the solicitations 'f, lust. it appeared
that the Prisoner was a near
,neighbouri_of the pa-,
rents of the deceased,, and bad conceived an un-
lawful passion for the mother, who was a woman
of uncommon personal at'tra&ion. Taking ad-
vantage of the absence of her husband at a neigh-.
bouring fair, he repaired to the, house, and the wife
having gone out'to get a neighbour to stay with her
until her husband's return, the Prisoner got into toe ,
house unnoticed and concealed iiiinself.—He was,
however, discovered by the little boy; who told his
-mother os her return that' the Prisoner was in the
room. The,Prisw,icr hearing this, Came, out in a
passion, exclaimed ,with an oath that he would kill
him, immediately:knocked hirn down, and as, he was
attempting to rise, gave him a blow . between his
shoulders which put an end to his life. He then
solicited the mother 'to consent to his unlawful
desires, and on her positive refusal, he proceed-
ed to wreak his vengeance by further violence
on the body Of the innocent child, and afterwards
abused the mother in a-shocking manner, leaving
:her for dead. When the father returned borne, se-
veral hours after, he found his wife lying wounded
and insensible, on the ground, and his child mur-
.dered at her side. The Prisoner next day abscond-
ed, and shortly after enlisted under a feigned-name.
After a long investigation, and a most humane charge
. from the Learned Judge (DAY)„, the Jury brought
in a verdi& of Guilty. The Prisoner was executed
on Friday, at Letterkenny, (near the place of,. the
.perpetration of the horrid deed) ; he confesSed the
fad, and, appeared truly penitent. • ,
DUEL.—On Friday lasr a meeting took. place at
