MURDER IN BAhL'S-POND-ROAD.

At 12 o'clock last Tuesday night, while Bovis,
a sergeant of the N division, was on duty in Ball's-
pond-road, Kingsl and, he heard loud screams of mur-
der proceeding from the house No. 11, Dorset-
street, and as he reached the spot a woman staggered
across the road, and fell against the wall o;posite.
He caught her m his arms, and her head fell back,
the blood gushing from a wound in the throat, ex-
tending nearly from ear to ear. She did not speak,
and died instantly. At the instant of the outcry
another officer, named Holiday, of the same divi-
sion, ran to the spot, and received from the hands
of a man in tae passage of the house No. 11 a per
son holding a white-handled razor in his right hand.
He was covered with blood, face, hands, and clothes,
as was the weapon, from blade to haft. At this mo-
ment Inspector Langdon rode up, and directed the
presumed murderer to be taken to the Kingslaud
station. Dr. Williams, resident in the neighbour-
hood, and three other medical gentlemen, were
quickly in attendance, but the woman was, as
stated, beyond mortal aid. At the station the man
in custody admitted she was his wife, and address
ing Langdon, said, "I have known you some years,
and wish to speak to you about this." He received
the usual caution in such cases, but persisted in
making a statement as follows :—"I had been to
PecLam.-rye with work, and took my wife with me.
On returning I fetched beer and something for sup-
per ; then words ensued between us, and then i-
was done instantly. It's a bad job. She was
good wife and kind creature as ever lived or walked.
I did not do it." When charged with the wilful
minder of his wife, he became very row and ap-
parently thoughtful.
Papers and letters found at his residence make it
apparent that his wife was of a respectable family
in Dorsetshire. He was by trade a carpenter,
and they had only one child, a girl about four
years of age.

Lodgers in the house state that they heard a
quarrel between the man, whose name is Thomas
Robert Davis, and his wife, and that he threatened
"to do for her." It was one of these lodgers who,
running down stairs just afterwards, found Davi:
in the passage, and gate him into the hands 0I
the policeman.

DUBLIN, TUESDAY EVENING.

EXTENSION OF THE PROCLAIMED DISTRICT.
The following announcement appears in the Posi
of this evening :
" At a meeting of the Privy Council, held on Satur
ilaY—present, the Lord-Lieutenant, the Lord Chancellor
the Lord Justice, Mr. Baron Greene, the Attorney
General, the Recorder, and the Right Hon. J. W. Fitz,
c.
patrick—it was resolved to enlarge the limits
boyf trheepoprrtembrace
claimed district, so as to embrace several additional
townlands on the Down side of Belfast, and an additions
proclamation was agreed to accordingly. We understanc

that renderedthe armsnecessaryhid
w] had bee,
so lately in the bands of the rioters had been carried
across the river, and concealed in the adjoining district~
of Down, within reach and available for immediate us.
in case an opportunity
was presented for fresh dis-
turbances.

"The proclamation now embraces the whole of Belfas.
and its suburbs, with a considerable rural district on *act
side, within which any person who carries or has arm,
without license, is subject to heavy penal consequences
We hail this step as a fresh indicatimi of the intention of
the Executive to use the powers of the law for the re
pression of outrage and the complete restoration of peat
and order. The result of the firm measures of the G
vernment is already apparent ; the last two Sundays have
passed over with the quiet characteristics which ought to
mark the Christian Sabbath, and unsignalised by tumul
disorder. We most sincerely hope that the people of
Belfast have been awakened to a sense of the miscondu,
and humiliation so widely prevailing, and that, by the
continuance of peace and obedience to the law, they thay
soon be in a position to be a,gain placed within the pal,
of the constitution, and on a footing with the rest of th.-
community."

Referring to Lord Carlisle's observations on the
state of Belfast, delivered by his Excellency on
Saturday at the meeting of the Senate of the
Queen's University, the Post makes the following;
observations : •

"It has just occarred to us to place the subject of the
Belfast riots and street.preaching in a light in which it
has not yet been viewed. Belfast is the only consider-
able town in Ireland disgraced by parry riots and wreck-
ings. It is the only large town in which the population
is at all equally divided as regards religious denomina-
tions; and it is theonly town where there is an organiser
party confederacy, backed by preaching in the public
highways, to assail and outrage the portion of the inha-
bitants belonging to one particular denomination. Ever
in Ulster, Belfast is the only town in this most discredi-
table condition. Suppose the Orange population wen
stronger, more numerous, and better armed than th-
Roman Catholics, surely that fact would restrain men of
true courage, not to speak of religion, from taking ad-
vantage of their strength to play the bully and the tyrant.
Look to the-south, the east, and the west—to Munster,
Leinster, and Connaught. In every town, great and
small, the Catholics very largely preponderate. In many
places they out-number the Established Church and
other denominations by ten to one. Yet, without
soldiery, and often without police, Protestants are a..
safe from insult or attack as if the towns were garrisoned
for their protection. In all those towns where Catholics
form the preponderating majority there are no societies
or clubs to insult or preach against Protestant. On the
contrary, it is our sincere belief that if any persons ha
the wickedness to attempt aggressions against ttie Pro-
testant inhabitants, they would be crushed by the evhol,
force of public indignation. Why, then, is it that Bel-
fast—the only large town in which the population is
about equally divided—should be ignobly distinguished
for intolerant persecution against Catholics? Clearly
because it is the hotbed of Orangeism, and because
clergymen belonging to the Presbyterian as well as the
Established Church have so far forgotten their saered
calling and responsibilities as to herd among the heated
partisans of the Orange lodges and to become the agents
of faction, instead of the ministers of peace."
