DUBLIN, Nov. 16.

On the night 6( Thursday, the gth instant, a
party of desperate villains turgiariously entered. the
house of Mr. Alexander M'Culloch, of Brekart, in
the neighbourhood of Toame Bridge, and in the
most narbarous and inhuman manner murdered the
Said Alexander M'Culloch, and robbed his house of
cash and notes, the amount of which cannot be as-
certained,. also of a grew deal of wearing apparel,
blankets, and even the children's clothes. What
adds to the infamy of this abominable crime is, that
the unfeeling wretches stabbed, cut, mangled, and
abused three of his sons in a manner too shocking
to relate ; the life of the eldest, a very fine lad of
about sixteen years of age, is despaired of, haVing'
no less.than thirty-two bayonet wounds in ditVrent
parts of his body. Such crimes are a disgrace to the
land we live in, and call aloud for the active inter-)
ferenee of every goad man and friend to society.—
The deceased was an honest, industrious, and well-
disposed man, and never was known to distress, or
.even to sue the poor, a number of whom were in
debt.—(Bef. N. Letter.

The following letter from the capital of Austria,

LAIV REPORT.

COURT OVKING'S BENCH; WEsTmtNsTErt.Nov.

WRIGHT V. WAUDLE;

This was the day appointed for the Plaintiff to
shew cause against the Rule obtained by the Defen-
dant for-a new trial.

Mr. ATTORNEY-GENERAL. ---" 'My Lord, from
the great length of the Defendant's and . his %,it-
Desses, affidavits, of which we have found it impos-
sible to procure copies, and to prepare answers to
.them, in the usual time, I shodd wish it would not
now be pressed on. I was in hopes I would have
received the answers in the course of the morning,.
for which reason I deferred- my ,right of moving.--,
I don't suppose that„the Learned Counsel for - the
Defendant can have any objection to its stanuittg
overfor a day.".

Mr. PARK entered into some conversation with
the Defendant's Solicitor.
Mr. ATifORNZY-GENERAL.-" I did not ask
this accommodation, wickr an idea that the grant-.
ing of it would be considered at a favour, and see-
ing that my Learned Friend, Mr. Park, appears
.to have some doubts of its propriety, I am ready
now to .go ou, in tile absence of my Client's affi-.
davits." •

Mr. PARK..---" My Lords, I should wish that
Mr. Attorney-General, would not be so quick in
drawing his conclusions, or 'at. least that he would
allow me to deliver my 'sentiments, before he de-
cided upon ihem. The Solicitor was informing me
that Mr. Serjeant Best, was then engaged in the
Court of Common Pleas, and could not, at that mo-
ment, attend, which w?is .far from obje&ing to the
Learned Attorney-G,.neral's request."
Lord ELLENBOROUGH.—" It appears that it
ought to be postponed for your mutual accommo-
dation."

Mr. ATTORNhY•GENERAL. I was aware that
the Learned Serjeant was engaged in another place
before I t-itade the request."
Mr. Serjeant BEST at this moment came into
Court, and expres,,kl his wish that their Lordships
would inform him now the case had been disposed
4-:-Lord ELLENBOROUGH retapittilated to him what
had takcn place.
Mr. Serjeaut BiST—,—" My Lord, I cannot con-
sent to it' being postponed for a day without its,
being pu't off till next term."

Afr:.:iTTotINEY-GENERAL..--" Sooner than con-
sent to this, I am willing to proceed now."
Loa' ELLENtoßouort.,-'-.".-.I cannot see what ob-
jrAion can reasonably be made
~-to the indulgence
'asked by Mr. Attorney-General ; it appears to me
reasonable. He states, he is not In possesSion
of the Plaintiff's. affidavits. It is an. accommoda-
tion that is given every day by the Gentlemen at
the Bat to one another; and, Brother Best, von
ought to recoilea that it was postponed before you
'came into court, tor. mutual 'accommodation; settle
it 'aniongst yourselves on what day. it shaWcome. on
_in this tern), we will hear.it any day alter the Mo-
tion-s. It will not be necessary to. give us any inti-
mation beforehand 'of the 'time. ,It was according-
ly postponed.
