THE GLASGOW COURIER, THURSDAY, AIAY 19) 1864.  The Newry police have arrested a man on suspicion that he is Michael Hayes, the murderer of Mr Braddell, which murder took place in Tipperary in 1862. He has since been dismissed.  The Irish Attorney-General has brought in a bill of 383 clauses, filling altogether 135 folio pages —a bill for the Amendment of the Practice and Pleading in the Common Law Courts of Dublin. The presept.ments made by the Grand Juries of Ireland in the 1863 amounted to £1,062,731. They are chiefly for roads and bridges, prison expenses, police and salaries of county officers, public chanties, and repayment of advances to Government.  The prospects of sportsmen for the ensuing shooting season are at present very encouraging. The weather has been all that could be desired since nest building commenced, and during the last two weeks especially the sun has shone out brilliantly every day. On all the moors of the country there, is a large stock of grouse breeding, all miumber of the. :Plcor, eay. seats tvere hatched a week ago. Nests generally this season were well filled with eggs, and gamekeepers state that they found in numerous cases ten eggs in a single nest. The grouse, with few exceptions, appear to be strong and healthy. All other kinds of game on both high and low grounds are abundant, and in good condition. Capercailzie are breeding in large numbers in all the woods of Perthshire.  Some time ago a person who meditated leaving Kilmarnock was at his wits' end to procure a pair _of .boots before doing so. Being without money, and having tried several shoemakers for them on credit in vain, his ingenuity was fairly put to the test. Accordingly, he presented himself at a shop, MA got his foot "measured, on-the- condition that he Would pay'ready money when he received them He then went direct to another shop, and did likewise. When the day of his departure from the town came, a boy was despatched to shop No. 1, who represented that his master was dressing himself for the train, and wished the right boot sent, in order to see if it was his fit. The boy also called at shop No. 2, and requested the left boot for the same reason. The shoemakers thinking he could not go off with one boot complied with the request, and our hero finding the boots excellently matched, walked jauntily to the railway station, and has not since made his appearance here. —A yrshire Express. On Sabbath week a party of miners from Halbeath, who had been attending the funeral of a comrade in Dunfermline, adjourned after the interment to a public house in the vicinity of the Abbey churchyard, and after having drank pretty freely on the premises procured a bottle of whisky from Boniface, wherewith to regale themselves on the way home. The quarrelling in which they had for some time indulged culminated in a fight between Alexander Bewick and John Fisher, of Littlerow, Lialbeath. James Bewick, a brother of Alexander, interfered to separate the combatants, but in doing so, got a fall; while he was down he received a good deal of rough usage from Fisher, being very severely kicked about the face and abdomen. The fighting over, Bewick, despite his wounds, walked home; but on reaching it, took his bed, and gradually sunk, until, on Thursday forenoon, he breathed his last. Fisher has been apprehended and lodged in prison to await the results of a legal investigation of the facts of the case. James Bewick is, we believe, the fourth of his family who has met a violent death.
