tilt! HORRIBLE AFFAIR.

ur. A WINE. TO MURDER. HER HUSBAND AND
FATHER-IN-LAW, AND ALLEGED MURDER OF ANOTHER

HUSBAND BY KIS WIFE.The following, being
the particulars of those horrible oc-
currences, hard been communicated to us by a correspond-
ent:Who.givesi hiS tame :'—Two men (father and son) of the
name 'Of Urdu, residing at,
.Ennishmon,in the county of Glare,
having coine, home from a bog, where they had been at work,
,to ditrner on Thuriday list, the son asked his wife for some
milk-to drink. She replied that she had not got any in the
house, but that she had prepared some coffee for them which
she woulttproctire. She immediately gave them a bowl of it,
which between, them they drank of In some short time
atter they both found themselves getting ill, and their sus-
picions being excited, medical assistance was procured, when
it was distovered that arsenic had been administered to them
in the.coffee. The woman has been fully committed to pri-
son; and upon the evidence of the servant girl whom she
,sent to purchase the arsenic at an apothecary's in Ennisti-
nion,.and whose face she coloured, that she might not be
afterwards known, it is supposed the case will be fully esta-
blished agaiust her.
"In consequence of this desperate attempt at murder being
brought to light, an inquest was held a day or two subsequent
before Mr. Greene, Coroner, on the body of a man named
Patrick .Gtithrie who had been. buried four months. This
Guthrie was married to a sister of the, woman who gave the
poison to Ruin, and he, having died in an extremely sudden
manner, it was supposed that he had been poisoned. Upon
the testimony of Doctors Cullinan of Ennis, and Finucane of
Ennistimon, who found three or four grains of arsenic in his
stomach, and other strong corroborative evidence, the jury
found, " that, the deceased came by his death, from poison
administered by his wife." She has been fully committed
and lodged in Ennis gaol, to abide her trial at the approach-
ing assizes fur that county.
Our correspondent concludes by saying, "so greatly ter-
rified are husbands .of their wives in Ennistimon and its
neighbourhood now, that they scarcely take any drink from
them, unless they are looking on while it is being made."—

TO THE SECRETARY OF THE GRAND LODGE OF
THE ORANGEMEN OF THE COUNTY AND
CITY OF LONDONDERRY.-

"Durate et vosmet rebus servate secundis."
SIR AND BROTHER,-1 write this to request'you will have
the kindness to issue circular letters to the respective officers
of our twelve districts, imploring them, as they value the
safety of our society, to use their influence at the annual
meetings to be held in the ensuing week, to have unanimous
resolutions passed against a violation of a law, unjust as it
is, still in force and likely to be re-enacted, against proces-
sions in celebration of an event which it had been long-sup-
posed secured civil and religious liberty to all denominations
of her Majesty's subjects. This penal law against Protes-
tants, and Protestants and Orangemen are•now synonymous
terms, will not expire until the end of the present session,
and before it does it will be re-enacted: Processions are
popish in their origin and tendency. They were instituted
in the darkness of the middle ages by the knights of St.
John of Jerusalem, the Janizariesof a Pope, and they were,
in very bad taste, adopted by us from the Freemasons in
1795. Where we arc strong they make an.tuinegessary dis-
play of strength—where we are otherwise a dangerous ex-
hibition of weakness; and it has been foundlhat Lord Stan-
ley's act has operated like many other frititless,opetnpts to
control popular feeling, in condensing and Strengthening a
force which required no premature indication;of it render
it effectual when Awl necessity nay require, as it soon may,
, the application of it.
The prevention of . these procest. ions 'by a popish" police,
who, under the, pretence of doing: so,. may .again. occupy
Derry and other PlaCes, in which we are happily secure,
while we maintain the principles of. our society, and regard
our solemn obligations by obedience to the law, would give a
triumph to a tottering ministry as invaluable to them as it
• would be rtlinous to us; and, encouraged-as higntten ruffians
now Ri'd by a,partial and persecuting. goverutnent, we,may be
tassured that ,riots will be 'fastened upon us if we rittempt to
[rut oarselvesr in the power of our enemies by any violation of
the law-01)11;e 'apprOachifig 'anniversary .3-'a battle which
must hi fought again before the: blessings it secures to our
country can be transmitted to our posterity.
In discharge of a duty, therefore, which has been annually
conferred upon me since 1825, I trust that, with your usual
promptness in making communications to our brethren, Volt
will give. as I now, give, warning that those *ho may ills;
honour themselves by a violation of the law, on the approach-
ing anniversary of the Battle of the Boyne, will he no longer
considered members of the Orange Society.-1 have the
honour to remain, sir, your faithful friend and brother,
JOHN GRAHAM,
Master of the Grand Orange Lodge of the
County and City of Londonderry.
