LATE MURDERS IN KILKEPT?
We deeply regret to have to record the follovvin4lo,
aill

that in our last we gave a report of an inquest our
body of a man named Roe, who had died of a

gentleman. Well, on the day after the n'
(Thursday last, we believe), the deceased Pr'6le
wife brought a hearse for Roe's corpse, but
formed by the police that she could not get it 10900,
following morning, at six o'clock. At the sPP,°:OO
hour two men appeared at the police-station, and C"'", 011
the body, saying they were Roe's nearest relations; tie

to take it, enclosed as it was in a shell, which hausiso
ordered by the Coroner. The men, who, it ba i 0
turned out, are inhabitants of the neighbourbSee
which the murders were committed, immediately er heel
off the corpse to the spot where Mr. Prim had 100
murdered, and there, with the assistance of oe, $Ol
others of the country people, dug a hole, fitt°,l, •
corpse into it, and threw a quantity of large stow"-
lime on top of it.
This was conduct for which we will offer no,. 011

that the people, who, as we before stated, held 7),01
Mr. Prim in very great esteem, were provoked tote'

that she would have a fine funeral for him ; beet'oot

excuse men for having acted in such gross vito°
