HIRTS REGISTERED.—GentIemen are re-
-I.y quested to observe that these garments in the most useful,
also the finest qualities, in the best workmanship, and at most mode-
rate prices, can be had at the REGISTERED SHIRT WARE-
HOUSE, 42, Regent-circus, which has been established under the
mast influential patronage. The attention of the philanthropic
public has been attracted to the degrading system of low wages
pursued for a number of years in this extensive and almost only
branch of female industry, the Proprietor begs to state that in the
form of the registered shirt a very great improvement is effected,
and at the same time no absurd novelty is therein introduced, bat
that care is taken to preserve the easy looseness so necessary to this
garment, together with a plain smooth setting front, and to retain
this appearance during the whole time in wear. It is presumed that
this object has not been attained by others commonly in use, which,
too often rising in wrinkled folds with the slightest movement of the
body, at once destroys the neat appearance so desirable, yet usually
omitted in this essential but hitherto mush neglected article of dross.
But a further and most important advantage is offered ; the material
of those parts which are seen when the shirt is worn, viz., the fronts,
collars, and wristbands, are composed of the most beautillil of that
fabric almost the sole manufacture for which Ireland has obtained
celebrity, and the golden flax linen or cambric is now well known to
be pre-eminent in the purity of its bleach, presenting in those por-
tions of the registered shirt as described a beautiful snow white ap-
pearance. 42, Regent-circus, being the warehouse for the West-end,
none but the best workers are there employed, remunerative wages
being paid, notwithstanding which, there is no difference in the
prices between the registered shirt and the ordinary shirt. Samples
of either the work or the golden flax linen or cambric, stamped by
the manufacturers, will be forwarded to the town residences of these
Ladies or Gentlemen desirous of patronising this object.
Address, 42, Regent-circus, Piccadilly.

HOMICIDES (IRELAND).
The following are the more interesting portions of a
Parliamentary paper, containing extracts made by Col.
INl‘Gregor from the police reports, stating the particu-
lars of the principal homicides inlreland in the years
1845 and 1846, and forwarded to the Home-office by
him.—(No conviction has taken place %here an asterisk
is placed before the name of the victim.) :
* Jan. 27.—Ryan, John (county Tipperary).
A farmer was about to propose for land, the property
of Mr. Philips, of Mount Rivers. There had in this
case been no compulsory ejectment or rigorous exaction
of rights. On his way, however, to the proprietor, he
was assailed by two men, strangers to himself, one of
whom pulled him from his horse, and fractured his head
with a stone. He survived only a few days. Two per-
sons were taken into custody on strong suspicion ; but
the injured man, evidently fearing the consequences to
his family, would make no disclosures tending to their
indentification.
*January 29.—M'Leod, John, Esq., R.M. (County
Leitrim).
Towards the close of November, 1844, the peace of
the northern part of the county of Cavan, and the ad-
joining parts of Leitrim, had become very seriously
disturbed by numerous armed and organised bodies of
Whiteboys. To meet these circumstances, the magis-
tracy applied for an increased police force, and an addi-
tional stipendiary magistrate. The required police were
immediately supplied, and Mr M'Leod, the resident ma-
gistrate stationed at Enniskillen, was selected by the
Government, and temporarily placed at Ballina-
more, in aid of the local authorities in the suppression of
the illegal organisation referred to.
On the day above stated, Mr. M'Leod had been dining
with W. Percy, Esq., J.P., of Garadice, and had set
out in the evening on his return to his own quarters.
Findino. Mr. l'ercy's lodge-gate shut (contrary to prac-
tice when company is entertained), Mr. M'Leod was in
the act of desiring the driver of his car to get it
opened, when he was fired at from behind an opening
in the evergreen at the lodge-gate, where the assassin,
aided by the light of a candle (left, as if designedly, in
the lodge), is believed to have deliberately taken his
aim ; the gun-shot penetrated the heart and lungs, and
caused instantaneous death. There is no doubt that a
conspiracy had been formed, and it is an ascertained
fact that a notice of the murder was posted at Enniskil-
len two days before its perpetration.
Two circumstances, have, however, been mentioned
as its immediate exciting cause ; by some it is attri-
buted to his having refuse,cl bail to certain individuals
in custody on serious offences ; by others to a decision
made by Mr. M'Leod some days previously at Bawn-
boy petty sessions.
*January 18.—Smith, Samuel, Esq., (County Tip-
perary.)
The attention of a resident of Borrisofarney having
been attracted by a horse passing his door without a
rider, he discovered at about eighty yards distant, on
the road, the body of Mr. Smith, the scull broken in two
places, and the brain protruding.
Hopes were entertained of the discovery of the as-
sassins, as a soldier of the 69th regiment swore that he
witnessed the perpetration of the murder by four per-
sons, whom he pretended to identify, but he afterwards
deserted, and there is no doubt of his perjury. It is
understood that he was about dispossessing two per-
sons of a farm, which was to be given to another.
*March 12.—Dwyer, Denis (County Tipperary, South).
The brother of this man, John Dwyer, of Listowran,
had taken a farm at Glenbairn, from which the former
tenant had been ejected. The Dwyers, with about
fifteen men, had been ploughing on this land, and were
returning home about seven P. 151., when they were at-
tacked by thirty or forty persons with stones. Several
were more or less injured, but Denis received a fracture
of the skull, of which, after a few days, he died.
*April 2.—Ryan, James (South Tipperary),
Was shot dead by his brother John. On the death of
their father John had received a sum of money in lieu of
his share of the land. Having proceeded to America
and spent his money, he returned, claiming his portion
of land; of course it was refused, and the ill-feeling
arising in consequence induced the commission of this
murder. The perpetrator has absconded.
*April 17.—Swift, Patrick.
Wes found dead in the river of the town of Galway.
There were several marks of violence about his body
and head. He had come to the town to give evidence in
a civil bill case, which was dismissed in his (Swift's
absence.

*May 4.—Waters, John (County Tipperary).
Had been in the employment of Henry Going, Esq.,
of Riverlawn, and was a stranger at the place. As he
was returning to his master's residence with a man

named Corrigan (whose services as ploughman were
IVe;
likely to be superseded by those of Water,) several
armed with bludgeons, according to the statement of
Corrigan, leaped off the road into the grove.
*May 24.—Kennelly, John (County Tipperary).
A certain man had received a portion of land with his
wife, as her fortune, on condition of his paying a sum
of money to her relatives. The wife died soon after,
and the man married again ; the friends of the deceased
wife then wanted to recover possession of the land,
which was refused ; but the man was several times

assaulted, and ultimately compelled to quit the land and
the neighbourhood. A feud was thus created between
the friends of the first and second wives.
As a party of the former were returning from the
market at Roscrea to Moneygall, they
were waylaid and
assaulted with stones by some latter, and several
of the

serious injuries were inflicted.
John Kennelly, belonging to neither party, who hap-
pened also to be returning from the market, endeavoured
to interposed as a peace-maker, when he was knocked
down, and the back of his skull fractured by a blow of
a stone on the side of the head. Kennelly died in about
a week.

* June 26.—Landrigan, John.

Twelve months ago a man was murdered on the
mountains off Nine-mile House, near Carrick-on-Suir,
and the friends of the murdered man prosecuted. A
woman relaetd to the prosecutors was married to a pub-
lican named Egan, who owned a tent erected on the
race-course of Ballina. On the evening of the day
stated above, a party of twelve or fifteen men entered
the tent, and grievously assaulted Egan and his servant
Landrigan with stones.

On the following day Landrigan died, and Egan
became so ill that his recovery for a while was doubtful.
*June 22.—800th, George J. Bell, Esq., J.P.
Was shot dead in his gig, as he was returning at about
half-past two P.M. from divine service with two of his
children. The horse running away with the vehicle, one
of the children was thrown, and a wheel passed over his
arm, which was broken.
* Kenny, Thady (County Clare),
.

The deceased man's father had taken land at Dogneive,
from which James Sexton had been previously ejected.
Deceased was returning home from that place, when he
was shot in the face from behind a hedge, his assistant
following the attack by inflicting, severe wounds on the
back of the head with some sharp instrument. The son
of Sexton (aforesaid) was taken into custody, and com-
mitted for trial.

* Linney, Thomas (East Galway).
This person, who was shot through the lungs, had
been recently engaged as a steward by the Bev. Mr.
Butson, of Clonfort, who had discharged his former
steward (named Coutes), retaining, however, in his ser-
vice two of Coutes's brothers as coachman and stable-
keeper. To these and to their father (old Coutes, who
lived in the neighbourhood), and to another stable-boy,
suspicion attached, and they were apprehended. Several
threatening letters had been previously seat to Mr. But-
son, desiring him to discharge Linney.
* ClarkeMatrick,!Esq., of South Hill (County Tipperary).
This gentleman was shot dead by two men
I while riding round his own demesne, superin-
tending his workmen. It appears that Mr. Clarke
several years ago had purchased the estate in ques-
tion, but had never, until recently, resided there.
Having been induced to visit the place and prolong
his stay, he had discovered that, in his absence, he had
been subject to a system of fraud on the part of his
tenantry, which he had determined to check and put
down. It is by some thought that the immediate cause
between two of the steward's sons,
arose out of a dispute betw
to whom the father had given up his land, arid one of
whom, on getting married, Mr. Clarke insisted should
implicating
quit, with a sum of money (not willing that both should
remain).
Suspicion fell on this man and another malcontent,
who had been compelled to pay arrears, as the imme-

and attacked the other ; a scuffle ensued, in which both
men fell upon Sir Francis, who received three cuts on
the head, two of them of a serious nature. The assas-
sins then decamped, leaving a hat on the ground, which
subsequently led to the arrest and identification of one
of them.

sat with his brother in the evening, four men entered
the house ; two of them presenting a pistol each at the
brothers, demanded why they did not obey the notice.
One of them struck the deceased on the head, breakine•

tenant above referred to, who is a relative, is suspected,
but sufficient evidence has not yet been obtained to
warrant his detention.

This man was for some time past employed as a
