MURDER AND ROBBERY.

In addition to the excitement caused in Dublin by the
State trials, a general feeling of horror was created by
the report that a barbarous murder had been com-
mitted during the prievous evening, in the priest's house
attached to the Catholic chapel at Rathmines. The
Rev. Mr. Roche, the curate, and other clergymen, reside
in the house. At seven o'clock last evening (Sunday)
the house was broken open, and money stolen to the
amount of 401., and the maid-servant barbarously mur-
dered. She was found with her throat cut. It is not
known whether there is any clue to the discovery of the
perpetrators of this horrid outrage.
