MARYsyILLE, May 10.
The examination of Matt. Kerrigan, |
who shot and wounded Mrs. Ann Walsh,
April 18th, at Sucker Flat, was held yes
terday in this city, resulting in the dis
charge Of Kerrigan, on the ground Of self
defence; the testimony fully justifying
his discharge. In March, 1870, Kerrigan
was arrested on suspicion of being the
murderer OF a miner named Dumphey,
who was at work in the Brouney claim
near Timbuctoo. An examination was
had at the time and the prisoner was dis
charged. Since the arrest of Kerrigan
for shooting Mrs. Walsh, sufficient evil
dence has been obtained to warrant the
officers in arresting Michael Walsh as
principal, and Matt. Kerr an and Mrs
Ann Walsh, as accessories to the murder
of Dumphey. A girl named Mary Hetf-
ron will be brought from Oroville to-day,
who is supposed to be an important wit
ness in the case of Walsh and Kerrigan,
who are now in the Jail awaiting their ex-
animation. Mrs Walsh is still suffering
from the effects of her wounds.
At n meeting of citizens in this city
last evening, committee was appointed

expresses the opinion that the road cal
be placed in temporary repair in shor
time, and without great expense.
