The unfortunate convict, McNamee. WAS power
| fully affected, and Blr1y, his successor in the
| prisoners t7x, on like fearful charge, seemed
scarcely less SO. As the former Was again con-
Quoted to his cell, the strength Of both officers
in charge was required to susaln his aintDg foot
steps. Hc is now tile second convicted murderer
awaiting sentence in Our Jail, where three others
are awaiting trial on like charge.
| When the first of these trials, that Of Michael
| Finn came on, tue five separate defendants to 50
| grave charge were, it is said, in the best Of
splits, by dint Of keeping each others courage
| up. The first conviction, now followed immedl-
aiely by the second, is said to have justly struck
gloom into the hearts Of those yet to come before
