KILDARE A S, MARCH 29.
TRIAL OF PATRICK WATERS FOR THE MURDER OF
CHRISTOPHER BROUGHILL, ON THE 9TH OF
JANUARY, 1833.
After the prisoner's agent had challenged all that
he was entitled to challenge, a highly respectable
jury was sworn. There were twelve persons
charged
with this murder, but as they would not join in their
challenges, and as the Crown was not prepared to
prosecute the whole of them, the prisoner alone was
tried ; he was charged as a principal, being, with '
others, aiding and assisting in the murder.
Patrick Broughill and Mary Broughill, brother
and sister of the deceased, deposed to the same fact,
namely, that on the 9th of January twelvemonth
the deceased was in his own house, standing by the
fire, between eight and nine o'clock at night, when
the door was broken in, and eight or nine persons
entered, one of whom presented a gun at their bro-
ther, and shot him without a moment's notice. Did
not know any of them.

Lewis Fitzpatrick, an approver, examined—Has
been in gaol since the 9th of March was twelve
months ; was confined for demanding arms ; was a
Whitefoot ; was sworn in about a month before
Broughill was shot ; was one of the party who went
to Broughill's house ; Broughill was an old school-
fellow of his ; a few nights before he was shot the
Whitefeet had a meeting ; eighteen or nineteen
persons assembled, and their business was to draw
lots to see who should shoot him ; the lot fell on
witness, but he refused to shoot him ; their reason
for shooting him was because he was a Blackfoot,
and had taken some ground which was held by a
man of the name of Mealy ; the party dispersed
that night without shooting the man, but were all
sworn by their Captain to meet again in three
nights, and draw lots again ; they did meet, and the
lot fell on a man named Grimes ; they accordingly
went to Broughill's house, and Grimes shot him ;
was standing outside looking at the shot fired ;
Waters was one of the party ; he, with others, was
posted outside as a sentinel.

Cross-examined by Mr. H. G. CURRAN—CouId

the handsome suit of clothes he had' on. Gave
the man no intimation that he was to be murdered,
although lie was his friend and schoolfellow. Wilt.
