about eleven o'clock on the night of Thursday last, as a
named James Fennell, residing near Castlecomer, was fretUing
farmer,:—" At
rn
home from the fair of Kilkenny, he was shot dead by a low-sized
ntaii, wearing a dark frock coat, who immediately crossed the
ditch and ran away in the direction of Castlecomer. The de-
ceased had been at the time driving his car, on the road 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
a-sasain. Constable May, of t7astlecomer, with his party, having
been at the time patrolling near Dysart, and having heard that Fen-
no' and his brother-in-law, James Boyle, who were previously on
bad terms with each other, had had -a quarrel shortly before the
murder, at time public-house of Edward Muldowny, of weabsbarough,
proceeded to Boyle's house, at Knockadoge. Boyle had 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."
