Lawrence and Margaret Shields, brother and sister,
who were convicted at the last assizes at Tullamore, and
sentenced to death for murdering Patrick Dunne in Feb-
ruary, near Phillipstown, were executed yesterday morning
within the gaol. The case of the convicts, who had been
recommended to mercy by the jury, was considered by the
Lord-Lieutenant, but the law was allowed to take its
course in consequence of the aggravated character of the
murder.

Mr. Chichester Fortescue, the Chief Secretary for
Ireland, received a deputation yesterday, consisting of Mr
Synan, M.P. for County Limerick, Mr Shaw, M.P. for
Bandon, Mr Kirk, M.P. for Newry, Mr Gregory, M.P. for
County Galway, Mr Callan, M.P. for Dundalk, and
Messrs. Coote and Talbot, solicitors, on the subject
of the introduction, by the Government, of a bill to
amend the Tramways (Ireland) Act, 1860, and
Tramways (Ireland) Amendment Act,lB6l. Mr. Synan ex-
plained that the principal object of the measure was to
legalise the use of locomotives as well as animal power in
the working of tramways in Ireland, and that a similar
bill in every respect as the one now required had passed
through the Commons in 1861, without opposition. Mr.
Fortescue promised to give the matter his early considera-
tion, and he added that if the Government could not bring
in the bill themselves, they would look favourably on a
measure which any members might ask leave to introduce.
