The Belfast Mercury, commenting upon the impene-
trable mystery which still hangs over the Broadstone
tragedy, narrates the following cases of murder in the
north of Ireland, the eaters in which have up to this day
escaped the consequences of their crimes :

" On Friday, the 14th of January, 1820, Mr. Richard
M'Nair, of Cregagb, near this town, had been engaged
transacting business with a number of the local cotton
manufacturers, and had received the settlements of Rev..
ral accounts. About eight o'clock that evening he had
been paid some cash by a gentleman in Donegal-street;
and nearly an hour later he parted with a friend at the
end of the Long-bridge, on his way home to Cregagh.
Nothing more was heard of Mr. M'Nair till the next
morning, when his body was discovered on a new fence
within a short distance of his father's place. The ground
near which the remains were found was all padded as if by
persons in a steuggle. The knee; of deceased's trousers
were burst, it is supposed, by his having fallen several
times under the blows of his assailants, and, being a very
stout, resolute young man, be had battled desperately be-
fore he finally fell before his murderers. When the body
was examined several severe wounds were found about the
