court, near Enniskillen, on the body
of farmer named Philip Gilliece, who
had been found dead in his bedroom
with his throat terribly cut. Gilliecc,
who was 10 years of age in May last,
married a young woman % years OF
age, and they appear to have lived on
excellent terms. The evidence at the
inquest went to show that Gilliece had
been in his usual health on the previ
Gus Thursday, but that night COM
planned Of sleeplessness, and in the
morning he sent his wife to dig some
potatoes. On her return within half
an hour she found him lying dead with
his throat cut. The police searched
the room, and found pocket knife
and Ratchet both Of which had
blood on them. Subsequently razor,
on which there was blood, was founo
on the top shelf of dresser in the

wounds on his throat, and they were

injuries were inflicted. The coroner's
jury. however, returned Il verdict Of
suicide while temporarily insane.
