The following is taken FROM the report in
the Mayo Examiner of Judge Fitzgerald's re-
marks in passing sentence of death at Castle
bar, on tie goth of July, on an unfortunate
man named Edward Walsh, who murdered his
wife:
1t appears you were married some eight
years ago to a woman in her twenti9 9Th OF
twenty first year. Young she was-I believe
cdncatrd hey ond her position am told come
~ i'll appearance, and had made you o good
AND faithful wife. In addition to The vow YOU
took on that occasion to cherish her and pro
tcct her, there was every motive which sh0nld
indnCe you to treat that woman with affection
aud regard. She also, learn, was the mother
of five children, which, under other crcHnf-
stances might have been doomed % blessing
by Providence, aud was about to become mo-
Their of the sixth. You were yourself young.
in trade hich might have been tourishing--
full Of hope. full of peace, full of happiness,
with prosperity before yon. But what is the
picture now? That young wife is murdered
and IN her grave. You yourself are q
coHv jcted frlon, aud it will be shortly my
painful duty to pass upon you sentence of
death and the chldren-especidlly your son
La renee and daughter Mary-are left now to
pennry, without protection, to deal as best
they can with a bard world and with that
worst of orphanage which springs from the
crime of IA father. The cause is that you
yourself gave way to that vice which at once
destroys the body aud degrades the soul You
became Il habiJnal druhka.d, and from that
degrading evil springs all the misery and mis-
foItnue Of Your present position. And can
ouly hope your unfortunate fate may be- "a
warning and example to all others who sub
ject themselves to that degrading vice, that
they do lot meet with that crILEe and misery
to which it has led you.
