suggested by the More Testimonial CoMmittee for ulte-
rior purposes.'
" "Your sub committee finding that they cannot have
the consent of the Royal Dublin Society in obtaining the
central position for the statue, have taken into considera-
tion the circumstances attending the site, as proposed in
the foregoing resolution, and they are of opinion that an
appropriate and convenient position, second only in he.
portance to the central one, can be secured on the line
of the intended balustrade of Leinster Lawn, directly
facing St. Stephen's Church, baying au uninterrupted
view to the spectator coming down the south side of
Merrion-square.
" Your sub-committee accordingly request the sanc-
tion of the general committee to enable them to close
finally with the offer of the Royal Dublin Soc:ety,
which, under the circumstances, theyv think advisable to
accept.

"It wa,s moved by the Lord Chancellor, seconded by
Sir George F. J, Hodson, Bart., and resolved—' That
this report be adapted, and that power be given to the
suo-comaiitteo to make final arrangements with the
council of the Royal Dublin Society, with the view to
have the Moore Testimonial placed in the position there-
in indicated.'

" Dr. Petrie expressed his entire disapprobation of the
site proposed on Leinster Lawn, and urged many im-
portant arguments why the committee should adhere to
the cite originally agreed upon in College•street, facing
the portico of the Bank.
"The Chairman having put the resolution adopting
the report of the sub-committee, declared it to be carried.
" Sir George Hodson, Dr. Patric, and Mr. Mulvany,
with power to add to their number, were appointed a
committee to procure a suitable design for the pedestal
for the statue of Moore, as it appeared that none of the
designs already submitted were, in the opinion of the
general committee, precisely adapted for the purpose.
"The committee then adjourned."

FATAL COLLISION WITH THE POLICE.

The Wexford Independent has the following :
"The rencontre with the police at Kilmuckridge,
briefly referred to in our last, turns out, unhappily, more
serious in its results than we anticipated, as one of tile
countrymen named Francis Edwards, who was lodged
in gaol for the assault, has since died of bayonet wounds
he received in the affray. On Thursdsy an inquest was
held on the body by Travers R. Hawkshaw, Esq.,
county coroner, when Wm. Edwards, brother of de-
ceased, and Dr. Boxwell were examined. The former
proved that he saw deceased in contact with the police,
and heard him say, 'Don't draw your bayonet ;' and the
other, that decoa•ed came by his death from the effects
of a wound in the belly, which appeared to have been
inflicted by a bayonet. The inquest was adjourned to
the 18th, in order to have further evidence. It would
be premature to offer any observations on this melan-
choly affair, whilst sub judice lis est, further than to ex
press our deep regret that the character of our peaceful
county should be stained by such an untoward occur-
seuce. It was on Sunday night, between eight and nine
o'clock, and not on Monday, as erroneously stated, that
it happened. It appears that Constable Byrne, with
Sub-constables John Walsh and Christopher Walsb,
were on patrol, in Kilmuckridge, when they arrested
deceased for riotous and disorderly conduct. Immedi-
ately a party in a public-house rushed out, and were
j ,ined by several others, who rescued Edwards, when
the latter forcibly wrenched the carbine from Sub-con-
stable John Walsh, and struck him on the skull with it
so violently that a fracture is apprehended. In the
scuffle the unfortunate man received the fatal wound
which terminated his existence. So much for accursed
drunkenness, particularly on the Lord's-day."
