DUBLIN, WEDNESDAY MORNING.—Mr. Acheson
Lyle has been appointed a member of the education
beard over the foundation schools, in succession to the
late Rev. Dr. Elrington.
THE WEATHER.—The weather continues very in-
clement. Yesterday evening there was a fall of snow,
and in the course of the night a smart frost.
Conic.—On Saturday last Mr. Pennington offered
for sale, by auction, two portions of the lands of
Corroghanearle, each respectively containing 102 and
103 acres, situate within two miles of the towns of
Carrigadrohid and Macroorn. They were held for a
long term of years, and produeed a clear annual profit
of 60/. per annum. The highest bona fide offer was
4501., which not being accepted, they were bought in
at 460/., there being no advance beyond that.
Annucrrox.—This crime, which is peculiar to Ire-
land, has become rather common of late. In the
county of Kilkenny there have been two cases within
the past fortnight, and two in Tipperary. Subjoined
are a couple of the most recent. The first is from the
Kilkenny Moderator of this morning ;
"ABDUCTION.—On the night of Saturday last, a
young woman, named Catherine Healy, about niueteen
years of age, residing at Mount Nugent, near John's-
well, was seized upon, at her house, and forcibly carried
off by a man named Reily, who had been previously
paying his addresses to her, but unsucces4ully. The
young woman, we understand, was daughter to a ser-
geant-major in the army, who, dying, left her 300/., to
be held in trust by the Might Rev. Dr. Healy, R.C.
Bishop of Carlow, and this lit.le fortune seems to have
tempted the rejected suitor to the desperate course
which he adopted. Assisted by another person, named
Riley, his cousin, and also accompanied and abetted by a
man named Richard Griffia, be seized the girl, and in
spite of the resistance which she could offer, carried her
off iu a covered car to the house of a Mr. Edmund
Cronyn at Stonecarty, near Stoney ford. There she was
detained daring the night and following day, though she
was not treated with violence. However, in the even-
ing she found means of sending a message to
the Stoneyford constabulary barrack, requesting
that the police would go to Stonecarty without
delay, but not mentioning for what they were
required. Constable Kelly, with two of his party, pro-
ceeded to Cronyn's house, and the moment they woreiakc
observed the Milers and Griffin ruslied out of thel door and made a precipitate retreat. Miss.-eaL calledy
on the police to pursue tho runaway, which
im-
mediately did, and Kelly succeeded in capturing
chase to
Griffinafter a warm run. The ether policeman
the Itileys for upe ards of a ra ile,but gavewas unable to
overtake them. Griffin has been committed for trial by
Colonel Wemys, J.P., and a warrant has been issued for
the arrest tf the other delinquents. This is the second
case of abduction occurring in our county within a
fortnight."
From the Limerick Reporter —" On Friday night a
party of fellows entered the dwelling of a buxom widow,
near Cooreclare, suspected of having plenty c f cash, it:-
tent on forcing her to become the wife of one of the
party. Understanding that she slept generally with her
daughters, our gay Lotharios snatched up their supposed
-prize, with which they decamped to a house some miles
distance, where to their utter chagrin, instead of the rich
fescinatiog widow, (hey found themselves in possession
of an old haggard pauper, whom the daughter had
brought fur her companion for the night in the mother's
accidental absence. Shortly after the discovery a party
of the police in pursuit of the housebreakers came up,
who arrested six of the party and committed them to
prison, where they are to remain until after Shrove
Tuesday."
