TRIM ASSIZES, APRIL 9.

Tuesday one of the most shocking and dreadful
murders ever brought into a Court of Justice was in-
vestigated and tried before the Lord Chief Justice
Dowmo.
Patrick 14141Wanus was arraigned for the wilful mur-
der of Thomas Goff, a lad of fifteen years of age, on
the night of the 13th January last. It appeared on
the Clearest evidence that he executed his infernal
purpose in expectation of a reward from his em-
ployers, who keep a bleach green at Gorman's town
(county of Meath). It appeared that attacks had
been made on the green, and in consequence, rewards
were offered by its owners and a few neighbouring
gentlemen, for the apprehension of such persons, and
prosecuting to conviction—the prisoner was a nightly
watchman, and the deceased was also in the employ-
ment. On the evening of the 13th January, the de-
, ceased was going home at his usuai hour of quitting
work—the prisoner, to effect his purposes, did induce
the lad to stay with him, and, about eleven o'clock
'at night, did knock him down, and discharged the
contents of his tirelock, heavily loaded with ball and
slugs, through his left breast, by placing it quite close,
so much so that the wound appeared to be only one
inch and a half in diameter—k perforated the body,
buried the unfortunate boy's clothes, and some of the
slugs were found in the ground. on the removal of the
body—he then placed a few yards of linen, folded
regularly between the hands of the deceased, as if
to make it appear he fired at him in the act of run-
ning away with linens—he then alarmed the lodge-
keeper, who, with another young man, in the em-
ployment, informed the chief proprietor, Mr. C.
Moore, of the attack—the prisoner declared he had
seen three persons, and that he fired, and all went in
pursuit. It was remarked, it appeared singular (the
night being very bright) that as he fired he did not
wound any person : he said he did not—but after
searching for some time, he said he had winged, or
dropped, as he said it, one of them, and then brought
the party to the place where the boy lay, swearing,
he was often attacked, and would dash ouc his brains
—which he was going to do, only prevented by his
master : the prisoner appeared quite confused, at the
instant, and exclaimed, better could not happen me for
what I done the night before I. came to Gornrarutown bleach.
For humanity sake, we are sorry to say, that it ap-
peared that one of the party endeavoured to rouse his
spirits, by saying he had only done his duty, and that
it was one hundred guineas in his way ;—one hun-
dred devils, exclaimed the prisoner—yes, says the
other, one hundred guineas, and I would rather than
five hundred I had the merit of doing it myself. Af-
ter this it was determined that the prisoner, with
Owen Kearns (one of the witnesses against him),
should watch until morning, an during the night
the prisoner asked Kearns would he keep a ae-
eret ?—the other agreed ; when he then unfolded to
hiin his murdering Goff, his expectations, and that he
would give him a part, if he was true. Kearns asked
him why he wanted to commit violence on the body
on their coming up ? He said, it was to prevent sus-
picion of the real motives, for that, on discharging
his gun, he was afraid the deceased was not quite
dead, and that he gave him several blows with the
end of it, which were perceivable. Kearns asked
him then why did he place that confidence in him ?
he said, it relieved his mind, and he knew he was
safe in doing so from a former proposal he had made
to him ( Kearns), that of murdering their master and
robbing the concerns.
The trial lasted the entire of the day, during which
the greatest abhorrence was felt by all present. The
Jury, without any hesitation, found him guilty—he
was instantly sentenced to be hanged on Thursday,
the 7th inst. and his body sent to the Infirmary for
dissection—which sentence was carried into effect ac-
cordingly. He made a full confession of his guilt,
and acknowledged the justice of his sentence.

Friday se'nnight a most alarming fire broke out in
one of the garret rooms of Mr. William Stirling, inn-
keeper at Ayr, and had it not been for the timely and
prompt exertions of the inhabitants, not only the
whole building, but those adjoining to it, must have
been consumed.

The great distance, in respect to proportionate
value, between the smallness of stakes of adventure
in the City Lottery, and the immensity of their possi-
ble gain, is within every one's ability to perceive who
peruses the Scheme. Not so the distance, in point of
time, between the present moment and next Tues,
day, when the momentous acquisitions will be deter-
mined. Though the respective mansions, from their
substantiality of structure,will stand for centuries, time
will not stand still a moment. Tuesday rapidly comes,
and the opportunity of adventure is then gone for ever,

until about one-third part was consumed, when she
had the happiness to find herself perfectly restored to

philanthropy, and under an idea, that others in like

its publicity. The manner in which the organs of
