LIMERICK, JULY 28.

Edward Tviim, a private of the 39th Regiment, was capitally in-
dicted for having, on the sth of September, I 8!4, at Abbeyfeale,
shot at and killed John David Roche.

The facts of this case were briefly as follows :—A riot occurred at
Abbeyfeale on the day the unfortunate man was shot. The military
were called out, but previously to their going, received orders from
the Magistrates and Constabulary " to quell the riot and not to fire."
The riot had nothing nf a political nature in it, but was one of those
factious outrages which continually occur in lrebnd at the country
fairs. The parties were called " Abbeyfealians and Monavellians."
They met and attacked each other furiously with. sticks and stones.
The battle continued for some time, when the Noitaveilians pre-
vailed and the other party retired. On their retreat, howeve4' they
were pursued by their opponents, and the fight was renewed small
detached parties of three and four, as well as. in individual
combats. Lieutenant Cole, who commanded, the military.
ordered his men to prime and load, with a view to intimi-
date the people, and then to proceed after the rioters.—The
deceased had been fighting with a man of the name 'of Hart-
nett, whom he had knocked down. Not content with knocking
him down, he was endeavouring to beat out his brains with stones.
In this extremity Hartnett called on the military to save his life.
The prisoner and two of his comradet came to the assistance of
Hartnett, and rescued him from the deceased. The prisoner was
struck with a stone while getting Hartnett from. the deceased.
After this the deceased ran away,and the prisoner pursued him,along
a bridge, when the prisoner deliberately rested his gun on the walls
of the bridge, took aim, and shot deceased in the side. He died on
the following day. After this event the riot ceased.
The prisoner received a most excellent character, as a man and
isoldier. The Jury found him Guilty of Manslaughter, but re-
commended him to mercy. Sentence, twelve months imprison-
ment, from the day of his committal, and to be burned in the kind.
The prisoner had been out on bail several months. Such is the
deadly hatred which subsists between the clans and factions of the
Irieh peasantry, that there was not a person in Abbeyfe:ile who
would provide a horse, even for bite, for the purpose of sending
for a surgeon to administer medical assistance to the wended man,
because he belonged to another factitm !

EXECUTION OF PATRICK KIRLEY—Fimas, Jotv.29.
A few minutes after three this day, this unfortunate man ap-
, Reared on the platform, in front of the New County Prison, to suf-
fer for the murder of Mr. Hurst. He was 6tm, but he observed a
decency of demeanour befitting his awful situation. The convict was
attended by three Roman Catholic Clergymen, to whose spiritual
advice he seemed to pay every attention. Whenhe first appeared
on the scaffold, a still silence seemed to fix the attention of t'..e im-
mense crowd below, it having been runsoured that he denied his
guilt, and that be would do so publicly before he was launched offs
In this the crowd were disappointed, as, shortly before the sig,nal
that was to separate him from this world, he turned round to those
who were on the p'atform, his back to the multitude, declaring
to them that be was fully prepared to die; that as he trusted i:t
the mercy of his Gon, he had no apprehension oideath, but that he
could not depart this world without declaring in the most solemn
manner that he was innocent of the crime for which he was then
going.to suffer; adding, that he neither aided nor assisted in the
murder of dr. Hurst. The Mayor and several Gentlemen of great
respectability ,were present. One of the Clergymen, addressing
him on the awful consequences of such a denial, if not true, Kirley
said he well knew the result, were he to meet his Goo with a false-
hood on his tongue; and he repeated his declaration. Notwiths
standing this extraordinary denial, the public mind is awfully
divided, as in no instance on record was a clearer.case-made ,
or one that, in every Unk of the evidence, was more conclusive or
satisfactory to the ends of public justice. A. reinatkable circum-
stance took place shortly before the execution, the convict having
been married to Bridget Dillon, the woman who was tried wilts
him let the murder • the reason assigned for this singular marriage
at that time was, that he had sworn to marry her some months
before.

The Enterprize steam vessel sailed yesterday morning
at five o'clock, from Deptford, on her voyage to Cal-

a voyage of this description. It is understood that his

Thomas Rochester was opposed by Mr. HEATH, on

apt eared that the insolvent had formerly been a ship-
owner, living at Ratcbtre 'Cross, and had subsequently
sunght leis livelihood in purchasing bricks, tiles, gro-
celie-, and in iraricrers other ways. In consequence of

his inquiries, Mr.Nicholls gave the insolvent sugar to

CORONERS' INQUEST&
Mr. STIRLING, the Coroner, and a respectaMe Jury,
assembled at the Red Lion, Hammersmith, yesterday
morning, to inquire into the death of a respectab e
female, of the name of Elizabeth Ennis, whn was stated
to have been violated and then murdered, in the fields
near the above hamlet.

Flom the evidence of sir witnesses it appeared, that
on Sunday evening the deceased had called at the hods
of Mrs. Walker, in Hammersmith, and stated she was
looking for an Isleworth coach, as she wished to get on
as quick as possible: this being after ten o'clock, all
the coaches had passed, and being afraid to go on by
herself, Mrs. Vs alker directed John Davis, a watchman,
to procure her a lodging; he promised to do so but
could not, and placed her in his watchbox (as he stated)
about one o'clock, and she tiles seemed very depressed
and low in spirits. DAVIS went his rounds, which were

a very considerable extent, and re urned about four
o'cl ck in the morning, and thought the deceased was
fast asleep, as he heard a noise like snoring. He, how-
ever, did not look into the box ; and, on coming back
again in half an hour with two other pers.nr, he was
surprised to find the deceased extended along the box
in a fainting fit. He raised her up, and discovered that
her shawl and veil were gone, from which it was con-
cluded she had been robbed. She was carried to the
workhouse, and Dr. Bowling immediately attended.

epilepsy. He directed her to be placed-40'41ton bath,
but this was of no avail ; she neverrectivered her

ticeetif sensibility.
Her pockets being searched, it was -distover. ed she
had tired at Isleworth, and messengers being .sent there,
her father and family %vete apprised, and they attended
the Inquest, and-from. their sticemetat itappearcd she
had been t, town o 1 business, and:it was *.supposed,
being detained him, she had lost the coach; and had
walked nil to II immersmith.
The Juty th Light it was a very suspicions case, and
at very great length cross-examined Davis the watch-
man; but he declined he had Mite all ha considered
necessary, and had no communication whatever with
her after he had placed her in his watch-box. At that
t'me she had her shawl and veil, hut during his absence
it must have been stolen. He hadseeil.no persons com-
' ing in the direction Ircm the box, and could *not by
any means conceive how she had been robbed ; but he
did not believe th it she had been ill-used. •

Mr. Bowling, the surgeon, confitmed this part of
the statement, sad said there were no inaiks of any
violence whatever about the body.

A Juror asked him, as a report had been eireuhted that she had
been criminally abused, if that was the fact?
Mr. Bowling said, certainly not. She bad died solely from the
effects of an epileptic fit ; and he understood she was subject to au
&action of that kind.

Mr. Pants, a Juror, asked him if, instead of being placed in
a watch-boz, proper care had been taken of her, would she not
have been alive at that moment?
Mr. Bowling declared that he could not give an *pinion.
By desire of several of the Jurors, a E. male who had
known the deceased for nine years, was eximinedr and
proved that many times dining that period the deceased
had been attacked with similar fit'.
A very contused discussion arose among the Jury
upon the evidence, which lasted a length of time; and
the principal point appeared to be a wish to punish
Davis for his ilfhunian neglect in not taking the de-
cea-ed to the workhouse. .
The Jury, at half-past 12 o'clock, returned a verdict of Died
by the visitation of Gos," and also added a censure upon D.4'04
conduct, and a hope that he would be .dismissed from his situation.
The whole number of per,ons summoned, namely 24, attended.
An inquisition was yesterday taken before Mr. Shel-
ton, at St. Thomas's lioseital, on the body of an infant,
aged six months, whose death occurred under the follow-
ing circumstances;—its p rents, Mr. and Mrs. Shaw,
had been residing on the Continent for some time past;
and returning last Friday, took up 'their abode for a
few days at the Ship Tavel in Lower Tower-stree!.
The following day their luggage was removed .from
the Customhouse. when the putter employed for the
purpose, in taking a b ,x up stairs, unlortuniteity met
Mrs. S:,aw in the act of ascend nag, with the child in
her arms. Mrs. Shaw stepped aside to make room for
him, ind in so doing stepped through an open window.
the sill of which was even with the stair on whiCh she
was standing, and fell, together with the child, into
the yard at the rear of the t seem. The child sostained
so severe an injury that it died shortly afterwards; but
its mother, although much injured, is likely to recover.
Verdict—Accidental Death.
