More like a brother than a hrotherofficer.
Mr. Mitqatt.v.—lt is my duly. Sir, to cross-eta.
Mine.you • but whatever course I take, let it ore be
understood that I do not consider homicide in a duel,
committed maliciously from rancorous motives of re-
venge, a high and heinous offence against the law of
-Goa. the public peace, and the law of the land. You,
, SQ, are a regimental surgeon ;—I am. Are yod a'
qative of this country ?;-1 am not. You are from
Scodand t—l am. Then you are front a brave, mi-
litary. and spirited people, always tenacious of their
honour! Don't you conceive that the punctilios of
htuour are most strictly adhered to by Officers of the
Army 'than by gentlemen not of the military profes-
sion r—Certainly. Then have you any doubt that if
on officer was so refuse a challenge he would incur
the censure and contempt of every military corps t
I think he would.—Would not his brother officers
euclude him from their conversation. and send him to
Coventry ? would they- not refuse to associate with
him, and put him in a situation which, to a soldier,
or any man of feeling, would be worse than death ?
I do think so.—Were all the parties to this uefor-
tunate duel military men. both principals and seconds?
—They were. All men of honour possessing the
aprit de corps P—They were. Then they were all, beat
particularly the principals, acting wider as impsriont im-
pals:' am isdispensihk attachment to their military charac-
ter:, and in witterscation of their honour P—l believe they
were.—Did yon, Sir, ever tight a duelli—jklevee.
Were you ever, as surgeon, or otherwise a spectator
present, when a duel was fought ?—istlevet.—Were
you never-in a military engagement ? Oh I often.

seen the smoke issue from the muzzle ?..-Yes. But
did you ever see the bill fly out.? No.-:-.Then,
though Mr. Grant might have intended to fire large
kens Mr. Hoey's person, could Mr. Hoey have a
knowledge of that humane intention, unless he had
been previously informed ? He could nut.—Was be
previously. informed ? Nn.—Was ft not seuleJ that
the combatants should fire together ; answer, Sir.
have you not heard so ? I have.—And that they did
fay together ?.;-Yes. Then I presume to observe, that
Mr. Floey could not 'perceive whether Mr. Grant
fired in a direct line at Mr. Hoey, or wide from his
person. These gentlemen had been friends? Yes.--
Friends sometimes have quarrels that warm the pig-
skins, and are fatal in their consequences without being
founded in malice ?—lt may be so.---Can you even
suppose that this data was founded in malice te-I
never did suppose that it was.

Major Warbermn examined by Baron Ggoaras.'
Sahibs heard of the duel on the 19th of July last, and
be immediately ordered the prisoners, Ensign Hoeg
said the two seconds, under close arrest, and reported
the circumstances to the Commander of the district;
Colonel Walker; he then went to Lieutenant Grant's
mom, whom-he found lying in bed ill, and had a con-
versation with him: the Lieutenant' aid,'" GOD knows
,did not deserve this."

Baron Goons.—Did he then express that he,
thought be was dying ?.-From what he said, I con-
ceive he thought himself in danger, but did not ex-
pect to die.--Did his expressions intimate that he
was hopeless of life ? I cannot say be thought his
life hopeless, but he had a very slight hope of reco-
vering. I sat by the deceased at his bedside until he
expired, at six o'clock the next morning.
Lieuteaant O'Bierne, examined by Mr. M4l•Ltu.v.
—How did the dispute between Mr. Grant and Mr.
/Joey originate ?—There was a dispute between them
*out a pony won at a raffle jointly by them, which
produced the letter tram Grant to Hoey. Have you
ever known duels to be fought on trifling occasions
between friends. in preservation of their character
from an imputation of pusillanimity ?-4 have. If an
officer submitted to an insult from a brother officer,
would his submission incur the censure of his corps ?
—J think it would. .Can you say that. malice sub.
slated between the parties ?—I am sure there did not.
Was any brother officer referred to for his opinion
Lim u n the matter in dispute ?—Yes, a negotiation took,
ace, and Captain D'Frogee was appointed umpire.
id ensign Huey object to this agottation ?.Neahe
was ready to accede to Captain D'Frogee's arbitra-
tion 4 and had Lieutenant Grant acceded. no duel
would have taken place. Were you present at the
duel ?—I was. Was fairly conducted ta—lt was on,

Mr. AVltua.v..—My Lord we close the case for she

LIMERICK. AUCIOST
The case of Them.. Ilurke. and his two etinfede-
rates, Michael Hehir and Henry Evans. who were
executed on Monday for,the murder of Thomas and
Margaret Dillon, at Moyle, in ibis county. was one
of peculiar atrocity.-. The witocu in these
cases was a child of 14 years old, the daughter of the
twamUrsiered persons.. The following is a statement
°Pale teatintoily the gave on the trial of Burke and
his two associates t —She deposed, that she was 14
years old, her father's name was Tom Dillon, her
mother's Peg WA ; they lived in Castletoten-Waller,
She knevi -and had always known, Tom Burke, alio
lived at Plllaii-Keury, within about a mile of her la-
titer's house. jklere she was asked if she saw any
body in Court she knew ? She turned round and
identified Burke.) She remembered, she said, the
night the people came to her father', house; the fa-
mily were in bed, her father asleep, and herself and
mother awake; they heard a rapping, and her mother
awoke her father ; he got up, and took a bayonet that
was near the bed, and went towards the kitchen, when
_he found the door dragged out on the road with a
sledge; he then ran back to the bed room, shut the
loor, and put his back against it, when they fixed
through it from the outside, and he fell back dead on
the bed where her little sister lay. There was a par.'
tition in the room, and when the rapping first earnest
the door, her mother shook hands with her, put her
upon the partition, desiring her to mind her brother
and sister, and to watch these people, as they had
come to murder her father and herself. When her
fathei vi) killed, the people broke into the bed room,
in a comer of which ber mother was, with an infant
in her arm% the witness's little sister in bed, and her-
self concealed on the partition. They called to her
*other to go out, the dist,. saying, " Lord have mercy
at my soul 1" to which they replied. " My good lady,
you had no mercy when you were giving evidence on
the Beach." When her mother went out, the witness
caw down from the partition, and followed her; the
people took her out on the road, and the witness went
to the kitchen window. They were crying. out," Stick
her and'sboot her,". and she saw the prisoner put a
gun rep to her mouth, and fire into it: They had at this
time taken the child from her, and were holding her
up at each side when the shot was fired. They then
put her dowtion the ground, and stabbed her in both
hreasts, after which they put her near a wall. The'
witness was here asked how she knew any one, as it
was night ? " Any nue would know them," said
she, 14 it was moonlight, and some sods of turf, which
put down before my mother and myself went to
bed, were blazing on the hearth." When they put
her mother near the wall, two men came into the
house, when she ran into the room where the pig was:
the men took out her father, and soon after two men
came in and asked her hide sister for the bayonet. It
'Was in a potatoe barrel near the bed, and gave it to a
man who wore white trowsers. They said they would
not hurt her, mod went away shouting. Witness came
from her biding place.'and again went to the window;
and while there, the Men returned, and one said," the

Devil would not kill the dog." and one of them took
up a big stone, and broke his face with it. They then
went away ; 'twas on a Friday night. and on the ire.'
lowing Sunday, her father and mother were buried ;
she staid in the house in the mean time, and " I gave
the pot to my aunt," (said this interesting poor crea-
ture) for it was she who sewed my father's month."
AS the people ip the neighbourhood refused to let her
in, desired her, "to go to the Devil," in consequence
of which she went away with her aunt, with whom
she slept on Sunday night, and was nett day taken
away by the Rev. Mr. Wesuopp, where she remained
several weeks, and was horn thence removed to the
poor.house, and finally to the gaol, from whence she
was now brought to give evidence.
CLONSIEL, AUGUST 14.
Nerrid and Calla were this morning tried sepa.
rawly for a conspiracy to murder the late Mr. BAK/Lac
and convicted on the clearest evidence. There were
also indictments against them for the actual murder.
on which it was thought unnecessary to try them, the
other offence being capital.
CAPTAIN GRANT.—This daring offender, this pe-
nitent convict. was executed at Maryborough, on
Monday at noon, amidst a vast concourse of people.
His contrition was so sincere and so edifying as io
excite universal sympathy.
