On the morning of Tuesday the 19th ult. about
the hour of four or five o'clock, a most atrocious act
was committed by a soldier of the name of Donoghue,
belonging to the Westmeath regiment, quarted in
Downpatrick. The soldier had been asked to a
christening, in the house of a Mrs. Lenard, in Bridge-
sweet, where he lodged; he had been treated by the
party to a glass or two of spirits, when he went up
stairs and rapped at a partition wall which separates
the house of Mrs. Lenard from the house of a Tho-
mas Cochrane, and asked Cochrane for a pipe. Coch-
rane and his family were in bed—he told the soldier
he did not use a pipe. Shortly after the soldier loaded
bis &dock, and fired in the direction from which the
voice came ; the contents passed through Coehrane's
thigh, and also through the contrary leg. On being
questioned by the person who had hint apprehended, a
few hours after, shy he did commit so infamous an
act, or whether or not he was drunk at the time ? he
said he was not drunk, for he bad only drank one
glass or two of epirits ; and so far from being sorry
for what had happened, he was only sorry that he had
not shot three or four mom.

On Saturday evening a fellow was brought before
the Magistrate at the Public Office, Sow-street.
charged with picking pockets in the crowd at the fu-
neral procession of the. Duke de Albuquerque. A
patrole saw he prisoner put his hand iuto the pocket,
of a Gentleman at the Horse• Guards, upon which he'
seized him, and on searching him found a handker-
chief in his hat, and another in his pocket. The pri-
soner said he was out of work, and refused to tell
where he lived. He was convicted underthe Police Act.
