MONMOUTH, Ma ROI es.
Alrnham 'Owen was indicted for the wilful murder of
Morgan Saunders on the 12th of November last, at
Tievethin, in this county.
. Mr. Mama and Mr. JUSTICE were for: the prosecu-
tion. and adduced the following evidence :
Phiap Williams—l- am a mason, and I worked for
Morgan Saunders, the deceased,. who was a master.
mason. I was at the Pentwynn Tavern, at Pontypool,
on S aurday evening, the 121 h of November last, about
seven o'clock. Several other masons were there as well
as me, to receive their wages from the deceased, who
generally paid us at that house. I left the house first
that evening. My dog was with me. When I got out
of the house, I perceived two men standing in the road;
I did not know them. The biggest man kicked my dog.
and my dog cried out. I went up to the man, and
asked him for what he kicked my dog, and he imme-
diately struck me down. After I was down, he began,
kicking me; hekicked me so often, that I cried out
" Murder!" Mark Price, my fellow workman, then
came-up, and asked the man what he meant by using
me so ? The man then went from me to Price, knocked
him down, and kicked him whilst upon the ground.—
He then returned to me, and taking me by the hair of
the head, he kicked me several times. Mark Price went
again into the public house. I was crying out " murder r
all this time. Soon after, he returned with Daniel
Lewis, and Morgan Saunders, the deceased. When
Morgan Saunders came up, the big Man let me go, and
went up to him. Then the big man and the man with
him said they would fight any man on the road. Mor-
gan Saunders said, " I am no fighting man; don't strike
sue, for if you do, you will repent of it." The big man
who struck me, then knocked Morgan Saunders down.
eiross-examined by Mr. Russeta..—There were many masons at
the tavern that night—perhaps more than ten or twelve; they were
all the workmen of the deceased; they had received their week's
wages, and they were all drinking some ale. Mark Price and I
• kit the house pretty much at the same time; be followed me out.
Itsbe two men I have alluded to were about twenty yards from the
door;• it was not so dark but that I could see a man. After the
• big man had kicked my dog, I did raise my hand, but only to fend'
off the blow he made at me ; his hat fell off but I did not knock it
+off; my hand went towards kis bead when defending myself. The
big man knocked down Mark Price; he was then close to ow
while I was on the ground. Price ran bark to the public-house,
and then at least a down mess came out, with Morgan Saundets the
deceased heading them; they came towards the biggest man; they
did not press upon him, nor did he retreat from them • he retreated
front me, bast not from them ; be then struck the deceased.
Its-examined.—l was quite sober, and so was the deceased. The
. big man first kicked my dog, and was then about to strike me, when
I raised my hand to defend myself.
Esamined by the COUIRT.—;III dog had not barked at him; I
gave the man oo provocation whatever; I had never met with him,
nor did I ever see him before. .
Mark Price called was at the Pentwynn Tavern
on the night of the 12th of November ; I had been re-
ceiving my wages there; I bad only drank a pint of
beer, and I was quite sober ; Morgan Saunders was in
the house, and was quite sober ; I followed Philip Wil-
liams out of the house, as we were both going home;
I left Morgan Saunders in the house. When we went
out, I saw two men standing in the road a little below
the, house ; there was a big man and a little man ; the
big- man had a smockfrock on, and he kicked Williams's,
dog, without any provocation whatever. Williams
Eked the big man why he kicked his dog, and he im-
mediately knocked him down; be then kicked him set'
veral times while he was down. He continued to beat,
Williaps; and he cried out " murder;' on which I
went up, and told the big man not t-imurderWilliams;,
• he then jumped from Williams to me; knocked me'
clown, and kicked me after 1 was down; he then went
to Williams, and began beating and kicking him again,
on which Williams cried out " murder;' I then went
to the tavern, and called for assistance, and iaid that I
n as afraid Williams would be murdered ; I said. " for
Gon's sake, let sostsebody come out," The people in
tie bousethen came out. The first man that came out
was the deceased Morgan Saunders ; the big man then
left Williams,-and came towards Morgan Saunders; I
saw the deceased hold up his hand, and I heard him
say, "I am no lighting man ; do not strike me ; if you
do, I will make you suffer the punishment or the law."
The big man then jumped at the deceased and knocked
him down.
Cross examined by Mr. C. Pinturs—lt was then between seven
and eight o'clock. It was six when I went to the tavern. I only
drank about half a pint of beer. The dog, in going along the road,
went towards the big man, who had his hat on then. I did not
see his hat fail off. The roadl is rather narrow there. It war not
i wry dark night; it •was star fight. When I came out of the
house a second time, I ran by the big man and the deceased How.
ever, I was near them when I beard Morgan Saunders say, " I am
Pe) lighting !lupin I did hoe bear anything said before that; I did
-not see Williams knack the big man's hat off; I did not see the
little man after th. t.
Daniel Lewis—l am 0 mason, and was apprenticed
to the deceased. There were ten of us together at the
public-house on the night in question. We bad eight
jugs of beer to drink, and each jug was a shilling's
worth: that was a!1 we had among us that night, and
in my opinion we weir all sober. Mark Price and
Philip Williams left us first. Shortly afterwards Price
came in and said that somebody was beating Williams.
We wentout. The deceased and I went first. I ran,
and got before Saunders, who. I suppose, is about
forty-five years of age. 1 ran beyond Williams and'
the man who was beating Mai, but I returned back to
the spot, as I heard them talking behind me. I heard
Morgan Saunders say, "I am no fighting man; do
not touch Me, or I will make you lei.ent it." Same
big man
.then ran at him, and down he went. The
big man, first pulled off his smock-frock. While he
was taking it off some man behind said, that the big
man would fight any man on the road. The big man
'and Morgan Saunders struggled together, and the big
~man got in a sitting posture, with his back up against ,
-the bank, and Morgan Saunders had his head on the big
man's knee.. The-big man then placed one of Iris harnle
in limit of the aeceased's thr at, and the other hand at
ii e back of at. He held him in that manner. • Mask
Pr ice said, "Loose the man or you will certainly 'kill
lam" He did nut let him go, and then Price struck him.
Hi then let him' go, and some man threw Morgan
Saunders off his knee, and the big man then got up._..
Lade Charles then came up, and taking the big man by
the shoulders, said, " This is the man that has killed
:Morgan.'' Then the other people came up, and they
tried to take the big man to the house. lie kicked,
alog,led, and got tree. No one else attacked Morgan
Sou :dens. A quarter of an hiur afterwards, I saw
axis rgan Saunlers dead in the house. Soine short
time afterwards, three men here shewn to me. I
knew one of them, because I and another man caught'
I.oid of him that t.ight. I should not know the person
of the. big man a-1 Vk as to see him.
Cross-eaantined by 11r. Itussal.t.—lsaac Charles was a fellow
workman of mine; it appeared to me that the big man took oft his
smock frock like a man who wa. going to fight fairly ; I don't know
that the big man's party wtre beaten that night by the masons.

Other witnesses were then railed, who proved that the prisons: 1
throttled the deceased until he completely strangled him.
The prisoner in his defence said, that the dog of the first witness:
had bitten him in the road. and be haibig 'kkked the dog, a violent
riot commenced, in which the prisoner was severely beaten.
Two witnesses were then called to substantiate the prisower's
statement. but, they proved nothing to justify' the stuck made upon
the deceased.

Mr. Jintke PAM! summed up the evidence to the Jury, arid
they found the prisoner Guilts.
His Lordship then passed the awful sentence of the law on the
prisoner, and ordered Mm for execution on Friday morning.

. CARLOW, MASCH 21.
TRIAL OF JOHN KELLY, !JR MURDER.

The prisoner was indicted fir the wilful murder of Thomas
Mooney, on the 16th of February lace, by striking deceased with a
stick and by other means, which produced the death of Mooney.
Counsel for the prosecution stated that the deceased,
Thomas Mooney, was a boy in the employment of the
prisoner, who is a chimney-sweeper; whether the boy
was an apprentice or not, was not the question, al-
though it was supposed that he was the former, on the
16th of February last; that the prisoner was on that
day accompanied by a wonflus and two boys, and that
he applied for lodgings at the house of a person named
Byrne, at Ballynocken, in the countyof Wicklow; that
Byrne's wife was at present there; that the deceased
boy was sent out to buy a candle, but remained out
longer than he should; that the prisoner expressed his
- determination to inflict punishment on the boy, and
accordingly rushed out with" a heavy stick; followed
and struck the boy, who cried out," Oh, John, honey,
I'll never do it again ;" that by some of the blows given
the boy was finally knocked down; that he made no
complaint after, but went to bed, and appeared exceed-
ingly hurt. That on Sunday, 20th February, the pri-
soner, the woman, and the two boys went thence to one'
Hagarty's, at Tullow. Here the Learned Counsel
would prefer, he said, leaving the details of the case to
thewitnesses; but he would remark that theme were not
on the face of the earth greater objects of tender com-
passion than the children brought up to the trade of
chimney-sweeping. He said, that if an apprentice mis-
demeans himsel, it he dues not attend to his legal or-
ders, the master has a right to chastise him, as a parent
would, with a view to reasonable correction. But if,
under colour of such chastisement, he seemed to gratify
malignity of heart, and appears totally regardless of so-
cial duties by the infliction of severe and brutal treat-
ment, in such a case there is no necessity for other ex•
pression of malice; the law implies it from the frequent
repetition or weight of the blows, the nature of the in-
strument, and the amount of correction.
Eleanor Byrne, examined by Mr. CLAREE.—Said
she lived at Ballynocken, in the county pf Wicklow,
sear liathdrum 1.- was married: identified prisoner ;
saw him at ten o'clock, on the morning of the 16th of
February last; a woman,two little boys, and a person
who was half brother to prisoner, came into her house
to get lodgings. in all five; they remained from Sunday
until Fr iday morning ; Thomas Mooney, whose name
she heard, was sent for a candle in the evening to a
place called Ballynaclash, three quarters of a mile dis-
tent ; the boy was eleven or twelve years old: the boy
had been out about a quarter-of an hour, and the pri-
soner saying be was nut too long, took up a bandstick,
and went out ; soon after she heard a child's cry, and,
on going out, saw prisoner strike the child and knock
him down ; she saw but one blow ; she dirt not hear
any words except that the boy, after rising, said, "John,
honey, I'll never do it again." Prisoner called to his
mother to warm some water to wash the boy; she saw
his left ear cut; the boy was left outside washing him-
self; the prisoner came in ; the boy ate little or no supper
and appeared sick ; be was in good health before he
went out for the candle ; witness saw all the parties next
morning ; be was then very sick, very unwell, and went
to Rathdrom, to sweep the chimneys of the police bar-
rack there; they all went away on Friday morning, '
and witness did not see him after; she did not know
where he died.

Sarah Hagarty, examined by Mr. CLaazz.—Said
she lived at Crosslow, near Tullow ; the prisoner, whom
she recognized, was at her house, at Shrovetide, in com-
pany with his mother, brother, and two little sweeps.
Thomas Mooney, the creature that died. was bare,
naked, and cold; on a Sunday evening, about six or
seven o'clock, prisoner told witness, on her asking him
what ailed the child, that he was almost killed from
falling out of a window at Rathdrum ; he said that he
brought him from Carnew to Newtonberry, and that no
one would let him in, the child being ill; he had two
cuts, one on the calf of his leg, the other on his bead;
witness said the child was in a cold place, and prisoner's
mother took him to the fire, and called for a saucepan,
to warm a sup of Milk; prisoner had his teeth closed,
and witness said the child was for death, and told pri-
sOner he was " a big rogue;" prisoner then pulled the
boy by the ears, and slapped him, but not severely ; he
used to say 66 Tommy, won't you drink ?" The prisoner
had a black-thorn stick, which he had brought with
him ; the boy died at her cabin; witness told prisoner
to go to Dr. Nolan for relief.
Lord Noaseay.-40. Whose estate do you live on?" Witness.—
Mr. Jones's my Lord. I have a poor miserable family of seven
children, and I was obliged to go out that day to seek for money
to pay for a quart of meal that I got on credit the evening before.
Anastasia Hagarty, examined by Mr. PLutterrx.—
Swore that prisoner brought the child in with a piece
of an old sheet on him : he went and put the child sit-
ting down on a stool, when the child slipped off; pri-
soner said it was roguery ; pulled his ears and slapped
him on the cheek ; he took the child up after that, and
threw him into a corner : she did not see the boy dying,
but saw him dead in a coffin ' • heard him called Tom
Mooney; Ned Darcy is her landlord; she knew Dr.
Nolan and Mr. Doyne.
. .

' ib a Juror.—She said primner put souse lighted straw to the
child's belly, but she did not swear it.
Pilsworth Whelan, Esq. examined by Sir J. GREENE
—,Witness.ix a Magistrate; thinks it was on the 21st of
February that prisoner was brought brfore him; he
and Mr. Doyne held an inquest on the body, but held
out no hope; to the prisoner for any disclosures he
should make ; helm' heard there that the prisoner had
sent the boy out on a message, and on his return,
beat him as fear staying out too long ; that the boy was
saved by people returning from a lair; that the boy was
again sent out and again beatn; that he was after ward.
carried away by prisoner from that place; witness
heard a story of the child's h fallen through a
chimney, but cannot say whether it was prisoner or his.
half brother now in gaol that told witness this story;
the child was not, as prisoner had acknowledged, an
apprentice to him, and prisoner could not account for
where 1 e had got him.
Andrew Nowlan, surgeon, sworn—Said be resided in Tu:low ;
was called on professionally to visit Thomas Mooney, the deceased;
went to Magarty's, a former witness, where the child was, on a
Monday, at seven o'clock vac the child was then quite in,en•ible;
little mere than just alive; there was a calm his left eat ; the left arm
was moth swollen; there was a trills* wound on left leg, and
he died in a few hours after. Witness examined the body at the
Invest next day ; ou removing the skin from the head, there were

hruises under the skleillt both sides of it. down Inside the skin of
the neck, both shoulders, and breast in front; the prisoner ac
-tanned for it-by sayhqrthat the child had fallen down a chimney.
The cause ofdeath wee "anion in the Mad, and an bliinnimation
the lungs that corresponded to the injuries milks chest.
J. Hanlon, a child about Beene sin years old, was here produced
oa the table; this very interesting little child, if we consider his
features merely, notwithstanding • the most squalid misery, could
give no account whatever of himself. He was totally ignorant of
any principle or duty of religion—.had never been to any house of
worship or been taught a prayer, and never heard of bailor heaven !
This child having been dismissed, his mother was brought up
on the table. When called upon by the Court to give SOMo ac-
count of herself, said she was an Englishwomann, which was evi-
dent front her accent ; that, from distress, she was obliged to
sell to prisoner the child last produced for fifteen shillings !
Said further that she came front Basingstoke, in liampahire ; her
husband is dead, be was a pensioner, and she has been seven years in
Ireland. To Lord Norbury.—She knew nothing of a Parson Craven,
who lived at Basingstoke. The unfortunate woman retired after
receiving some money collected for her round the table.
Shortly after the case of the prisoner had been given in charge by
his Lordship to the Jury, they returned a verdict of Guilty of Man-
dauglaier, and the prisoner was sentenced to transportation fur life.
