held at Feenagh, county of Limerick, on Friday last, by John

Doctor Graham, 111.C.5., ot, the body of Barrett Nagle, who

him. He continued in the most excruciating torments for about
sixteen hours, when the unfortunate being was released by death
from his agony about one o'clfick on Friday morning. The
