IMPORTANT SALES IN THE ENCUMBERED

COURT.
Since the opening of the Commission a more re-
markable and interesting property than that offered yes-
terday—consisting of the estates of Mr. Hyde, of Castle-
hyde—has not been announced for sale; and a large
attendance of capitalists was attracted on the occasion.
It comprises fee-simple and freehold estates in the coun-
ties of Cork, Limerick, and Tipperary, including the
demesne lands and mansion-house of Castlehyde, ad-
joining the river Biackwater, and famous in the south
for natural beauty and exquisite taste in all the details
of arrangement. The lot, of which the mansion, gardens,
pkasure grounds, and demesne form a part, contains
acres, the net yearly rent and estimated
value of which (exclusive of the mansion, the
timber, and ornamental associations) are set forth
in the rental at 1,160/, a year. This lot was bought by
Mr. Sadlier, for 17,5751 The entire estates in
this cause, announced for sale yesterday (with the ex-
ception of two lots out of thirty-four), were disposed of
principalif to Irish, and generally to local capitalists.
Mr. Sedlier purchased in trust, and it is said for an
English party. The rates at which this property was
sold ranged from twelve to e;ghteen years' purchase on
the present lettings and estimated value (exclusive of
timber), and some head-rents brought rates as high as
twenty to twenty-five years' purchase. The entire sum
realised by the lots sold yesterday is 83,6201. Some
portions of the Castlehyde estates are yet to be sold, and
it is likely, at the final winding-up, that a residue will
be available for the inheritor.
MURDER OF THOMAS BATESON, ESQ.
The northern journals, rceived this morning, contain
accounts of the murder of lihomas Bateson, Esq , J.P.,
brother of Sir Robert Bateson, Bart., of Carstruse,
Derry, and agent of the estates Lord Templeton, in
the county of Monaghan. The unfortunate gentleman
was attacked on Thursday afterno,,n, at Corral' nty,
near Castleblaney (on his return from a model farm
where many labourers are employkd), by several persons
armed with fire-arms and bludgeons, and was wounded
and beaten in so dreadful a manner that ho remained
insensible on the road, and expired soon after he had
been removed to his hotel in that town. A brother
magistrate of Mr. Bateson, in a letter dated yesterday
(Friday) morning, gives the following account of the
savage attack upon him:—
" On yesterday, our poor friend, Bateson, was at petty
sessions with .me and others of the magistrates. After
sessions Le went to see his farm, and while he was re-
turning, between four and flee o'clock in the evening,
when close to Mr. Hunt's gate, he was met by three men,
one of whom fired at him, but wiihout effect. They
then attacked him with the butts of their pistols, and
horribly beat in hi. skull—ore of them using a stone,
weien was found to-day stained with blood, and having
hair upon it. The pistols have also been found, but as
yet no clue to the murderers. Dr. Young, of Monaghan,
was instantly s nt for. On his arrival he found on exa-
mination that a large fracture had been made in the
scull, and a portion of the brain had protruded. Poor
Bateson still lives, but there is scarcely a chance of his
recovery. He has not ap,,k, n since the occurrence, ex-
cept a few wild words, as if still engaged in battling with
his murderers.'
Later accounts msntion that Mr. Bateson was re-
lieved from his sufferings yesterday. All accounts agree
in stating that he bore the most excellent character as a
kind agent and impartial magistrate, and a good em-
ployer. As the Louth Advertiser remarks, "He was a
man of the most benevolent disposition, and in giving
charity he never asked the creed of the object. Ho was
instrumental in effecting an abatement in the rents of
the tenantry; he caused the whole county cess to be paid
OD, the estate, and ho gave full employment to every
tenant." This murder is ascribed to Ribbonism, like
those of Mr. Mauleverer and Mr. Coulter; and it is
stated that the neighbourhood where it occurred is very
populous. Already two persons have been arrested on
suspicion.
