Two policemen are commnitted to gaol for murder, in the county of Roscommon.-DDublin Even irg Heraa Pursuant to sentence passed in the Sheriff Court of Ren- frewshire on the 28th of' May, John Mlorrison, cottornspinner, was on Thutsday whipped throagh the streets of Paisley. From the de. tails of the trial formerly given, it will be recollected that MEorriwsor was convicted befor J b Dunl, Esq., Sheriff-Eepute of Renfrew. shite, and a respeeae J of the county, of having on the 2:lx of November waylaid Wilham Kerr. cotton-spinner, and vwounded him so severely in the right arm and right thigbh with a pistol shot, thathis life was endangered. At twelve o'clock Morrison was brought out of the gaol, and was bound to a cart, which moved round to the front of the building, where the punishment com- menced. Instead of the common executoner vho is generaly em- ployed on such occasions, an old tar was selected who seemed to be in every way wel qualified for the disagreeabeoffice. His face was so besmeared with black, white, and red paint, that he could not have been identified by his most intimate acquaintances. At every lash be carefully separated the tails and measured his . tance with the most careful and caufious precision. llmrisoa re_ ceaved in whole seventy-two lasbes-fifteen in front of the gaol - fifteen at the cross; the same number at Lonwells and at the hea&d of the New street; and lasti v twelve at the cross on the ret4m of the procession. The seventh laih made him cry, but durirg thereat he was slent. The punishment was concluded at a enarter past one o'clock.-G&Sgsw Chronicle.
