A few days fine a gentleman, with his wife and
child, proceeding in a curricle to a part of the
county of Kildare, where be had recently taken
a farm, was fired at on his way thither by fome
ruffians in ambufcade. The Blot grazed the gen-
tleman on his temple, which naturally occafioning
the utmoft terror on the part of his wife and child,
the latter gave expreffion to her fears in a loud
outcry : at this moment a fecond fhot was die-
charged, which pafred through both cheeks of the
infant, and, as we have been informed, very for-
tunately, without touching any contiguous part.
MURDER.—Relative to the fufpeded murderer
of Mrs. Davidfon, of Peter's-row, we were wrong
in our haft flatement. It has appeared that Tho-
mas Radcliffe Crawley had been obferved in the
town of Newry—in confequence of which Mr. Ste-
phen Dejoncourt, with affiitants, proceeded to that
town, with a view to apprehend him. This un-
happy perfon had delivered a letter to the pod-
matter of Newry, direded for Dublin, addrelfed
to an inhabitant of this city, telling him that lie
expelled an anfwer of tome moment, and making
ufe of a fiditious addrefs. He initruded the poll-
mailer to deliver it to him only, as he would at•
tend at the period when an anfwer was reafonably
to be exile led. With thefe inftruetions the poll-
matter expreffed his intention to comply.—Suf-
pit.ions, however, were entertained unfavourable
to the perfon applying, and thofe fufpicions
were confiderably firengthened by a description
'of Mrs. Davidfon's murderer, arrived through
the Hue and Cry. The poft-mafter judicioufly,
therefore, under thefe ideas, difpatched the letter,
under cover, accompanied with his fufpicions to
Mr. Lees, of the Poll office here. By this meafure
the fufpeEted perfon was effectually traced. The
letter, wit: Jr we have r,prefented to have been ori-
ginally entered at Newry, was found to be an en-
velope, directed to an ordinary acquaintance, who
WAS to forward an enclofure to a more particulai
friend, from whom an immediate pecuniary affif-
tance was folicited,in order to enable the applicant
to obtain a pallbge to America, an opportunity for
which was Shortly to be expeded. Mr. Delon-
court, with fuitable affiftants, received inftruChons
to proceed to Newry, and the application for an
anfwer was, as expelled, made. It is unneceffary
to fay, that the party applying was immediately
fecured. He arrived in this city yeflerday evening.
Crawley, it appears, did not leave Dublin until
the night after the horrid tranfaction. He refided
in a lipufe in Black Horfe-lane, with a female ac-
quaintance, and he packed up fome goods at that
place, in preparation for a route ; in doing fo, he
was attempted to he flopped by the owner of the
houfe, for rent due to him ; whereupon Crawley
beat the man feverely with a fhort piece of iron
like a poker, which he took out of his pocket, and
brought off the goods in defpite of his landlord.—
In Newry, he affumed the name of 'Fhompfon.
When he was apprehended, he affeded no con-
cern, and told the officers they had ailed wrong
in taking him into cullody without proof. In fits
way up to town yefterday, in a carriage, he fome-
times whiftled, to thew that he was under no dread.
It appeared he and the woman had walked from
Dublin to Newry. Laft night, about eight o'clock,
they were brought before the fuperintendant Ma-
giarate, and underwent an exr.nsination ; there he
flamed ligns of concern, but anfwered interroga-
tories with great caution, and got permiffion to
write a letter to a friend, Rating his apprehenflon,
and where he then was. Upon the hammer being
being put into his hand, which is fuppofed to have
been the inflrument with which the murder was
committed, he denied • any knowledge of it, yet
did not like to look upon it. The woman who
was his companion haJ been a fervant to his fa-
ther. After undergoing !bin examination, the
fupctintendant Magiflrate committed bins to the
New Prifon, and had the woman lodged in a place
for fafe keeping, until further examination.
The prifoner was brought up again this day,
and underwent an examination which hafted for
More than two hours, when he was fully commit-
ted for trial, which is expeded to take place early
in the enfuicg week.
