more than quart of brandy and twenty
pintsgof bitter beer in one day. On the
9TH ulS. he was suffering from delt,fuo, ire
mems, and was taken to the workhousc.
and there he died. The verdict of the jury
was 10 the effect, that death was the re-
suit OF intemperance. The Dublin Irish
man says: "An infamous death has ended
the life of another Irish political spy.
One Gear, who had been employed in
hunting renians in Liverpool, and reward
ed for his bloodhound achievements with =
large sum of money, was found dead of
