eitrastetdhuisnt ttrde-
scribed by the Tipperary Vindicator :—" We regret to have
to record the barbarous murder of an industrious man named
James Keane. who resided at Gurtmore, within a few vanes
of Neaagh. It appears that on the night of the sth inst., as
the unfortunate man was proceeding in the direction of his
home, he was 'met on the road, at Tullaheady, by three
infuriated demons, who, with savage vengeance, rushed. on
their victim, felled him.to the ground, and inflicted a fatal
wound on the left side of the head. The heartless miscreants
decamped, leaving him almost a lifeless corpse on the road
side. The unfortunate man endeavoured to make the best
of his way home, where he languished under the most
excruciating pains from the effect of the wound until Sun-
day, the Bth inst., when death put an end to his torture. No
cause has been assigned for the perpetration of this horrible
deed. An inquest was held on Sunday, on view of the body,
by Michael Carroll, Esq., coroner, when a verdict of wilful
murder was returned against some person or persons un-
known." The Armagh Guardian says—" Deceased held 24
acres of land, under Mr. Tuthill, and has left a wife and six
children, the eldest of whom is only twelve years old. We
understand that he was a relative of the Rev. Mr. Magrath,
P.P., of the Silvermines. A man named William Fogarty,
whom deceased named as one of the party who attacked him,
has been taken into custody."
The Tipperary Vindicator gives the following account of
the second murder :—" On Sunday night a party of men, con-
sisting of six in number, one armed with a pistol, entered the
house of a man named Meara, of Gurtavalla, within half a
mile of Cloghjordan. They first knocked Meara down with
a stone, inflicting a deadly wound. They then, with savage
ferocity, struck him on his head until his brains were dashed
out. The yard was full of turf mould, and from the appear-
ance of his body it is supposed that they trampled on him.
A finger and thumb on his right hand were broken ; there
was a large fracture on the 'back of his head, one on his
crown, where the brains protruded, four on his face, and his
forehead presented a shocking appearance. Two sons and
two daughters were in the house at the time: This foul deed
was committed between the hours of seven and eight o'clock,
and within a few yards of another house; but though the
shrieks of the inmates were heard, no one came to their
assistance. Meara's family consisted of his wife, two sans
(one of them a grown man, the other a boy), and two
daughters, who were in thekitchen at the time the party:were
beating the father. The son attempted to get to the father's
assistance, but was held by the mother. He, however, suc-
ceeded in getting away from her, but when he did they were
going away. The number of Meara's assailants were six.
Meara is father to the man that killed Kennedy on last
Patrick's day, on his return from the fair at Borrisokane.
Seven men have been arrested for this murder."
GOVERNMENT MEASURES.
At a meeting of the Cork Poor-law Union, on Monday,
the following communication was submitted from Commis-
sary-General Hewetson :-
46 Lee Mills Depot, Cork, March 7, 1846.
" Gentlemen —As the period is now approaching Is hen In-
dian corn and Indian corn meal will come very generally into
use among the peasantry and others as a substitute for the
potato, and several unions having applied to me for a small
quantity of the meal for the purpose of testing its quality as
food, I am induced; in order that the mode of preparing it
should become gene-ally known and widely circulated, to
address Your board upon this subject; and now enclose a
pamphlet, published by her Majesty's Government, giving
full and explicit information touching the various modes of
preparing it.
" You will observe that everything which can be made
with wheaten or oaten flour may be made with Indian corn
meal, and the latter is even stated to be more who!esome
and more nutritious • of different modes of cooking I should
say that best adapted for use by the peasantry and labour-
ing classes, and suited to their simple means of cooking, is
as described by Father Mathew in his valuable letter re-
cently published in Cork—stirabout or porridge, hominy and
mush.
"Three pounds and a half of Indian corn meal will make
stirabout or porridge for ten persons ; less than half a pound
of corn flour for a meal for one man, and a warm comfort-
able meal that fills and strengthens the stomach.
. . •

" I may further add, as noted in these instructions, that
in all the rural districts of America, and many parts of the
Continent of Europe, the people, instead of becoming tired
of this food, become more attached to it.
" In conclusion, as I am most anxious that not even a
shade of prejudice should arise with respect to its use, and
which can only be occasioned by a defective mode of cask-
ing, I would urgently press neon the attention of your
board, in any experiment that may be made, that thorough
boiling or baking, as the case may be, is a most essential
point ; with that precaution I feel confident it will be found
a most palatable, wholesome, and nutritious food.
"I am, gentlemen, your most obedient servant,
"11. HEWETSON, Commissary. General."
THE ARMY.—BELFAST, MARCH 10.—The Ist Roval Dra-
goons, stationed at Dundalk, has just been ordered to fur-

tory to embarkation for India. The volunteers must be

SIR R. PEEL AND THE BELFAST FLAX IMPROVEMENT
SOCIETY.—We understand that the above Society has re-
ceived a letter from Sir R. Peel, acknowledging the receipt of
the annual report of the Society, expressing a gratification at
the efforts of the Society, and presenting a subscription of
251. towards its funds. Why such a communication is not
at once published we are quite puzzled to imagine.—Nor-
them Whig.
Crux. Cos.—We understand that the action of Browne
v. Ibbetson, for crim. con. which was to have been tried at
the approaching assizes, hits been settled, the gallant defen-
dant having paid 7501. and costs.—Colh Reporter.
On Saturday, 7th instant, the Marchioness of Ormonde
gave birth to a daughter at Kilkenny Castle.
ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.
ARMAGH, MONDAY:—WHITEBOY OFFENCE.—In the case
of the. Queen v. Fahy, Hughes, and Runnehan, for a White-
boy offence, the jury retired at four o'clock, r.m., on Satar-
day, and were called out at six o'clock by Mr. Justice
Crampton, previously to his adjourning the court, and asked
if they were likely to agree to their verdict. The foreman
replied that there was not the least likelihood of their
agreeing.
Judge CItAMPTON then said that be would direct bailiffs to
be sworn, and that if they agreed to their verdict at any time
before twelve at night, to send for him and he would take
their verdict.

The jury then retired, and were locked up for the night.
Ou Sunday morning, about eleven o'clock, the jury sent
for the Learned Judge, and said that one of their number had
been taken ill.

The JUDGE inquired the nature of the illness, and having
learned it, said it was not of such a character as could war-
rant him in discharging them.
At four o'clock, P.M., the Learned Judge was again sent
for, and finding that the illness of the juror had increased, he
discharged them.
. . _

He then intimated to the prisoners that they should remain
in custody till the next assizes.
It was generally understood that there were ten for a con-
viction, and two for an acquittal.
