,Dlrserm, Sam 130--The body of the unforto-
nateLauriotce Trainer, whose murder we stated
in dorlast, was taken up on Saturday last, on tiie
beach of Farraby, nearly opposite the cliff, from
which it was concluded he had been thrown into
the sea, and an Inquest held thereon before
George Stioldart, of Atlantic Lodge, Esq. when
the Jury returned a verdict —" That the deceased
was murdered by Thomas Killeen."—( Limerick
Chronicle.)
From a number of corroborating circumstances,
there are the strongest suspicions of the guilt of
Thomas Killeen, who was lodged in Ennis jail, on
Friday last, charged with the murder and robbery
of Laurence Trainer. The circumstances of the
metier arc most shocking. It appears on the oath
of Thomas Gallagher, that Killeen and the de.
ceased were together on the 30th ult. in the eren.
ing, after which the latter was missing ; and upon
the former being asked what had happened to him,
he answered, " he was drowned." search be-
ing made, the secret was soon disclosed by the ter.
rile appearance of a quantity of human blood and
hair, and come tattered pieces of cloth ; and from
this fatal spot to a precipice over the seai into
which tilt• deceased was hung, were discovered nu-
! morons marks of violence.—((,'lure Journal.)

The large West-India ship, outward:bound,
which was east on shore last winter near Cont.
town, and purchased by Messrs. Dixon and Co.
had, at a Considerable expellee, succeeded in
getting her off, wu,.we are sorry to learn, totally
lost yesterday morning. She was made fast to the
brig Diamond, Captain Walsh, who was mike-
a owing to tow her into this harbour, silica her
leaks suddenly iner2asitig, she went down in six-
leen fathom eater. There wire between 60 and
70 people on board, who were with sauce difficulty
saied.—( Wexford Herald.)

A tremendous battle, which lasted one hour
and three quarters, was fought on the last day of
A)singdon races, between a man of the name of
Davis, a navigator, and Joseph Ilearasan, the
champion of that part of the country, fur IGO
guineas. The match excited the attention of the
' country amateurs, and the friends of Davis scut to
Jerre Belcher to second their man. Davis had the
best of the battle throughout, being assisted by
science, which enabled him to hit and get away.
The combatants were both frequently knocked
down at the same moment by tremendous Wows,
and their appearance during the combat was fright.
fel to a degree ; to the last round, they stood to
each other, and exchanged blows ; but Ilearman,
after having had the best of the h7th► round, by
knocking down his adversary, gave in the Stith, as
helpless as an infant. The proprietor of the bet.
ting stand formed a ring with stakes, some time be.
fore the combatants appeared, and after receiving
about 151. 'for admission to his stand to view the
battle, another ring was formed by the friends of
the fighting men, and the ,/tats were :harped; as

•
A cause has lately been instituted in Atietere
Commons respecting the Will of the late Latfy
Bath, nuder.circumstances "ola 4ery eingnlar
tare. The„question is, simply, , Whether the. Ec-
clesiastical Court can rectify ft° errors of hereon-
teyancer, and thereby carry her Testamentary
intentions into effect ?
The late Countess of Bath, being the only
child of Sir Wiltiam Pulteney, Bart. died without
issue. In July 1794, in contemplation of. a
Marriage between her (at that time Baroness of
Bath) and her cousin, Sir James 'Murray (now
Pulteney), Baronet, articles of agreement %sera'
entered hitt, between them, whereby all her real'
and personal estates, except as therein mentioned,
Were conveyed to Trustees, upon the trust there.
is mentioned,
,and a power was given to Ladyl
Bath to dispose thereof by Deed or Will.
While the articles of agreement were preparing,
i..atly Bath gave verbal directions to Mr. Kipling,
one of the six Clerks of the Court of Chancery,
.0 prepare a Will, which she intended to execute
I Joon after her marriage; from which directions,
Mr. Kipling accordiegly drew heads of a 11'111
I which were delivered by him to Lady Bath, for
I her perusal, a short time previoul to her mar.
and teat gentleman attended her several
times for her final approbation, and after the \VIII
had been settled it was fairly copied; and as Lady
Bath, and her husband Sir J3illoll, were about to
leave London for some Months before a Will
could be prepared in form, the ieltraccions were
executed by her iu the month of -liugutt, 1791, as
her Will; and she directed that they should have
the same force and effect as if a Will had been
actually executed. By these instructions Lady
Bath, after bequeathing vetoed specific legacies,
directs the interest of all the resithie of her per,
ional testate' (now, by the death ef her father,
who died intestate, upwards of 600,0014 to be
pail to her father for life, and after his death to
her husband, Sir James Pulteney, for life; and
after his death, to ptencipal, and all acrinnele.
tiun of interest, to be divided among the younger
children equally ; and in default ef such issue; to
Elizabeth Evelyn Markham (the wife of the Rev.
George Markham) fur life ; and after her death,
the *principal to go to such one or more orher'
children and grand-childreu as she should appoint,
and in default of such issue, then to the surviving
brothers or sisters of Mrs. Markham equally ;
and should there be one only, to such oue, and if
all should be dead, to the executor ut administra.
tor of the survivor:
After the iustructious were eeecuted, Lady,
Bath returned them to Mr. Kipling, stating, that-
she had made an alteration in the last folio, which,
of course must be Made in the• Will, and he watt
directed to prepare a Will agre• ably to such In.
strnctions ; but Mr. Kipling being at the time
when the Will was directed to be prepared much
engaged by other business, he applied to the late
Mr. Holiday, a conveyancer of eminence, to Me
commend a proper person to' draw a Will accord-
, ing to her instructions. of r. Holiday recommend-
ed a draftsman, anti Mr. Kipling geve him the in.
directions executed by Lady Bath. Ile drew the
Will, and returned it to Mr. Kipling, who, hav-
ing permed it, directed two Copies to be made
and delivered to her Ladyship foreaccution. Lady
Bath having made an alteration in the devise of the
residuary estates, in favour of Mrs. Markham
and her issue, as well in the event of her (Lady
-Bath) leaving only one daughter amid nu tither
child, as in. that expressed in the instructions of
Ileaving one only son, and also by giving the resi.
duary personal estate, in default of Mrs. Mark.
ham's leering issue, to an only child of her (lady
Bath) before the bequest thereof to her ( Lady
tßath's) brothers or sisters.—Sech• alteration was
"lade by Mr. Kipling, and in consequence, it was
send necessary to take away se'nlb of the sheets
of. the fair copies, and to substitute others con.
aidipiog such alteretions, and iii Nov. 1791 two
ports of the Will were executed by Lady Bath,
111se of which etas kept by herself, and the other
woe directed by her to be kept by Mr. Kipling..
Neither Mr. Kipling nor the draftsman tees re-
ceived any subsequent instructions from Lady
'Bath, and her ladyship and Mr. Kipling believed
the two parts of Inc Will to be in strict cutifor-
mity with the instructions she kid executed. No
variation or omission in the 11'01 was discuvered
during her life.thee ; but sit-IL her death, upon
comparing the Will with' the instructions, it has
been found that the cletise disposing ef the per.
sonal estate differs from, and is net co.eeteesive
with the dispositiou contained in the instructioael
which difference arose through the inadvertency of
the draftsman emplUyed by Mr. Kipling.
On the death of. Lady WO, a probate of her
Witt Wits granted to Sir Thomas Jones, Bart. and !
Christopher Codriugton, Esq. two of the Exece.
tors, power being reserved to Mr. -Kipling, the
other Executor. Sir James Pulteney, Ise cons.;
quince of the Conveyancer having omitted to eon.
tiuuu the remainder over to Mrs. Markham, 011
tilt contingency of Lady Bath not having any •ittel
claims an absolute interest iu the residuary
estate—a decree has therefore lately' been takust
out by Mrs. Evelyn Fawcett, wired' John Fat",
eett, Esq. formerly Markham, the raidatry kg*
yatcc substituted in the Will on the death of Sir
James Pulteney, as we before obsereed, Oiling the
Executors to bring into Court the' Probate, and
!thew cause why it should nut he revoked, and
i declared void, on account of the clause in the
' Willelisposing of the• residuary personal estate,
not containing equally extensive provisions as are
expressed in the heads or "instructions ; and on
the probate being declared rotil;to accept a nee
probate with that part or clause of the instructions
which respects the disposal of the residue of the
personal estate, as constituting together the true
Will of Lady Bath ; and Mr. Kipling is also cit-
ed-to bring into Court the instructions and origi.
nal draft made by the draftsman. Sir James Pul-
teney is cited also to appear to see proceedings.
