From a London DapeY.

A late trial in Dublin disclosed some
very extraordinary incidents. The wife
of bankrupt, named Hanafn, wo-
man of violent passions, on the failure
of her husband, who was country
dealer in extensive business, came up to
Dublin, having about her person large
sum of money in bank notes. Those
notes were concealed in her petticoat.
The woman and her sister in the course
ofthe day, were in company with man
of the name of Brady who contrived to
take away the money. Mrs. Hanafin,
missed ii the next morning; she instant
ly suspected how it was disposed Ct, and
she took her measures accordingly.
Brady lived at neighbouring hotel,
thither Mrs. Hanafn, armed with pair
of loaded pistols, repaired at an early
hour. Brady, as she expected, was in
bed--she burst into his chamber-and
holding the loaded pistol to his head, she
vehemently swore that if he did not in
stantly deliver up the money that he took
from her the day before, she would
blow out his brains on the spot. The
man became alarmed, and, without fur
Their parley, he restored the money. 1t
was also proved on the trial, that this
Mrs. Hanafin was examined before the
Bankrupt Commissioners; her anwers
were taken with view to indict her tor
perjury. She was brought up for exam
ination before the Police Magistrates,
and remanded; her conduct was calm
and collected, but when she returned TO
prison, she made desperate attempt TO
take away her own life; having failed in
that attempt, she actually employed her
young sister, girl of sixteen years Of
age, to purchase some poison for her;
this also was discovered; her intellects
ultimately became impaired, and she was
confined for some time in a madhouse.

Iney, which not having fond, he took
a eridde and placed it on the fire, put
the poor mans wife on it to extract a
confession from her where the money
was secreted, and burnt her in such a
manner that she died the next day
