in the presence of four persons, two of them men, companions of the
victim, yet neither attempted to arrest the perpetrator of the foul

deed. It is some gratificationtigratificationto believe he is In custody: At
about eleven o'clock on the night of Thursday last, has . a farmer,
named James Fennell, residing ' near Castlecomer, was ;returning
a low-sized
home from the fair of Kilkenny, he was shot dead by

ceased had been at the time driving his car, on the roads near
Webbsborough, in which were seated with him his young
son and a servant girl, and two men named Mulhall were in
his company, one in front and the other in the rear of the
car, but no attempt whatever was made by them to arrest the
assassin. Constable May, of Castlecomer, with his party, having
been at the time patrolling near Dysart, and having heard that Fen-
nell mid his brother-in-law, James Boyle, wbo vi ere previously on
had terms with each other, had had a quarrel shortly before the
murder, at the public-house of Edward Muldowny, of Webbsborough,
proceeded to Boyle's house, at Knockadoge. Boyle bad not returned
home at the time, but, arriving shortly after, they arrested him, and
he is at present in custody on suspicion of having committed the
atrocious deed. Fennell, about six months since, was put into pos-
session of a farm occupied by the prisoner, and the parties stood on
bad terms since. The appearance of the prisoner fully corresponded
with the description of the assassin."
Her Majesty the Queen Dowager will take her de-
parture from Marlborough Rouse to-morrow morning, for the Con-
tinent. Her Majostylwill proceed by the South-Eastern Railway to
Ramsgate, and embark thence for Ostend. The Earl Howe will
accompany her Majesty to Ramsgate. His Lordship, however, does
not proceed to the Continent with his Royal Mistress. Viscount and
Viscountess Barrington will have the honour of attending her
Majesty during her absence on the Continent, which, we believe,
will not be extended beyond the latter end of
August next. The
Hon. Miss Harrington will accompany her llOble parents.
