Win. Lawry was put to the bar, charged with the murder of
Patrick Flynn, on the thli of August last. It appeared in evi-
dence that the deceased arid prisoner had had a quarrel, and
that the latter came behind his victim whilst standing at a
door, felled him to the ground with a bludgeon, savagely re-
peated the blow, anti the deceased, in consequence, expired in
the course of the folloWing night.
The Jury, after a perspicuous charge from the Learned
Judge, in the course of which he remarked on the barbarity of
the prisoner, and intiunued, that should the Jury return a ver.
diet of manslaughter, he would punish the crime with the
utmost severity of the law, gave in the issue, which was—
ilanslaughter of the worst description.
Ills Lordship then addressedthe prisoner :-r" I think (said
his Lordship) that the verdict just returned was as merciful a
one as I ever recollect : and I do not hesitate to say that the
Jury have been perfectly warranted in returning a ver-
dictmurder, in which case I should have sentenced
you
of would
I.)e executed
the tiny after the morrow, without the most
distant hope of mercy. You proceeded to one of those fairs in
this country which are made the scenes of outrage and disturb-
ance rather than places of business, as they should be, and
there, with a shocking instrument, struck your victim in the
most sanguinary manner three blows with your hands. A
more unprovoked and scandalous outrage never occurred.
Again I say, if the Jury had returned a verdict of murder, I
would have sentenced you to be executed, without hope of
mercy. As it is, you must be transported for life."
The prisoner heard his fate announced without the least
emution.

Bannnantis MuItDER.—On Sunday night (22t1 inst.) a
man named Richard Cotter, tenant to Savage French, Esq.,
was murdered, under circumstances the 'most lamentable. It
appears that five men, all relations, had assembled at a public
house in the vicinage of Cove, where they continued till
twelve o'clock, when the deceased separated from the con .
fpany, and went home : it was observed by one of the party that
ie had a bottle of whisky in one of his coat pockets, which cir-
cumstance was availed of as a pretence to visit him ; accordingly
they went, and having rapped, at the door, demanded that the
whisky might be shared, but this was peremptorily refused;
on which they burst in the door, pulled the.tinfortunate man
out on the road, and in the most savage manner dashed large
stones on his head, and jumped on his belly, until his bowels
were forced out, and he was then thrown into a ditch. The
ruffians who committed this barbarous act have not since been
seen, but we hope the extrtior s which are making by the ma.
gistrates will be attended with effect.

Since writing the above, we have learned that a perm r a net
Twomey, one of the party, has surrendered himself, and afford-
cal such information to a Bench of Magistrates who sat on
Monday at Cove, to investigate the transaction, as will no doubt
lead to the discovery of the other three. An inquest was on
Tuesday held at Cove, but we have not yet heard the result.—

this
murderer in the perpetration of this !torrid crime. The fol-
lowing may aupply the deficiency :
A murder of a very heinous nature was committed some
time since in the neighbourhood of Loughgall. A person
named Spencer, who was an attorney, but who has lately been
in a state of lunacy, had married against the inclinations of his
relations. Although insane, not resident with his wife, and
only six years married, yet it appears she had in the course of
that time three children by hint. Means were always found
by which they came together. The eldest child, it appears,
would have been, at his father's death, entitled to a luualsome
property ; we have heard it stated at 4001. a-year. In May
last the 110t13C of 3lrs. Spencer was forcibly entered by a man
also named Silencer' but what connection to the family we
know not. He deliberately proceeded to murder the child,
and also a servant woman in the house; and would most like-
ly have treated Mrs. Spencer in a similar manner, had she not
