in ronseynence of his not paying him one ltundrtd.,
pounds, which he pratitised to give to his wile irk

Mr. Butler went our, and its a short time after his
return, the same person who had waiteal upon hint
in the moaning went up to his rtiom, and informa
him that tlie person who was to challenge hint
was below stairs in the breakfast purloin-, with a
horsewhip, and was determined to exercise it on
him, unless he was instantly paid that sum. Mr.
Butler requested he would go dawn and stint the
.parlour door, to, give him an opportunity of goillg

mediately, to say-that the other would not suffer
the door to be shut, and would certainly put his

Not lot Mg had sufficient reason to think that the !fatuities

Atter a consideration of the documents with'which I was

I ewertaitied a coithdent that if the act wal!elfectital

of that depravity and sanguinary disposition, of which this

-*Tim the different roads'hy which it was possible fur Mr. pia-.
err to rettivn from Cashel, mid were stationed in small de-

the purpose of intercepting him; that Mr. Ilaker,was watch-
ettlthe whole day by persons appointed for the purpose; that
Ids departure runup Castle.; was communicated by;lignals, and
that when the shouts were tired which deprived him 64: his life,
tl ehont of triumph was raised by a number af people who had
sesseiffitled in the neighboarltoood, evidently to wititess this
barbarous murder.
On the 9,d of December I issued a,Proclatuntion in Coun-
ell, offeiing a reward of 5,6001.. for the discovery of this perstill
by whom the murder was committed. I shortly afterwards
received an Aeldress, signed by 76 Magistrates of the colony
of Tipperary, assembled at a special sessions of the peace on
the 13th of Deceatber, expressing the strongest itcltowledg-
