Widnes Examiner. — 1881-07-23 (Widnes, Cheshire, England)

STATE OF IRELAND.  What was reported on Saturday as a terrible double murder at Doon, county Limerick, is now said to have been a purely accidental occurrence. A young man named , Richardson was driving his uncle to Bilboa, near noon, on Wednesday, when the car was accidentally overturned, and the two Richardson's received such serious injuries that the younger one died on Friday and the other on Monday. On Saturday an inquiry was opened, and after hearing medical evidence an adjournment for a week was agreed to. On SaturdaY Mr. Dalttest'one of the" suspects" lodged in Kilmainham prison, Was released owing to ill-health. A shocking murder was committed near &Rebore, County Cavan, on Monday night. A man named Lynch was on his way home from market, when be was fired at, and shot dead. The murder is attributed in the district to Ribbonism. Five arrests have been made. At Mayo Assizes, on Tuesday, P. J. Gordon, one of the Land League traversers, was charged with inciting others to kill Walter M. Bourke, a landlord, living near Claremorris. 'He was further charged with inciting others to murder Mr. Herbert Davis, of Ballybanuis. On this count prisoner was found guilty. Sentence was deferred. The case excited the utmost interest, the court being crowded to excess. At Cork Assizes, on Tuesday, in the case against O'Gorman, the hotel proprietor, Charleville, for refusing to entertain Property Defence representatives on the eve of an execution sale, the jury disagreed. Judge Barry described the result as very appalling. The only question left to the jury to decide was whether O'Gorman, refused accommodation to these gentlemen. The whole of the evidence proved he did, and prisoner's counsel conceded it. He deplored the result deeply, for the sake of the country and for the sake of trial by jury, which he valued more than any of them, and which was the.great support ef their liberty. TIM TRIM Pizzas ON THE LAND Comutssimanns.—The Irish Times, commenting on the Irish Land Commission, says it is not a strong one, and believes the large social reconstruction which the Land Act promises will lack the authority which would have attached to it ,if ,tbe,Cominission bad been of greater weight. It considers that a judge of the Supreme Cnurt of Judicature ought to have been appointed. The Freeman, while agreeing that the Commission is a weak one, thinks it only fan' to say the gentlemen composing it can stand the test of criticism. At the Castlebar Assizes Patrick J. Gordon, one of the persons arrested under the Protection Act, was indicted for inciting to murder. The curcumstances were somewhat peculiar. Gordon was arrested on the 13th of April under Lord Cowper's warrant, and on the way from Clarmorris to Galway he addressed the crowd at several stations, advising them to shoot their landlords; and at Ballyhannis he referred particular to Mr, Liable Davies, saying he hoped to hear that gentleman had been shot. The Jury found the accused guilty, and he was sentenced to a year's imprisonment with hard labour. On Sanday night, at Corbally, a suburb of Limerick, Patrick Ryan, land bailiff, who has acted at most of the evictions that have recently taken place in the county of Limerick, was waylaid.by a number of men, who attacked him with loaded sticks and beat him most unmercifully. He was knocked down, and kicked white on the ground. 'Ryan is in such a dangerous condition that his depositions were taken on Monday before a magistrate. Patrick Shannon, a farmer's son, has been irrested for complicity in the outrage, and the police are in search of others. Mr. Justice Barry, addressing the grand jury at Cork assizes on Monday, said that out of 50 indictments 35, though technically of a minor character, indicated a most disorganised state of society, and though they were not of an agrarian character, they arose from persons taking advantage of Ihe present agitatir n to carry on private purposes The cases reported by the constabulary were in the West Riding 120, as against 30 last year, and in the East Riding 134, agtinst 67. He would still express a hone that the worst had pissed but the prospect was anything but cheering.  THREATENING TO MURDER Tin
