DEATH FROM STARVATION
(From a Correspondent)An inquest was held a few days ago in Killeshandra upon the body of a boy named Doherty, aged about 16 years.
Dr. KENNY made a post-mortem examination, and the jury found a verdict to the effect, that the boy died from "want and destitution."
The body presented a wretched appearance; it was found lying in a ditch, reduced to a skeleton, and covered with vermin. The people lighted a fire near it at night, to prevent the dogs from mangling it, until an inquest would be held.
A keen and piercing winter is prematurely setting in, and instead of gentlemen talking of reducing the number of Relieving Officers, they should, in my opinion, insist upon those now employed t carry out the benevolent intentions of the law; in a full and liberal spirit. And if they earnestly endeavour to preserve human life, in the manner ordered by the legislature, they will find quite enough to do, and the Board of Guardians will also find that they have not one too many employed.
Much dissatisfaction was expressed by many persons at the inquest, at the mananer those important duties are performed here.
I enclose a copy of the seventh section of the relief act, under which these appointments have been made. It runs as follows:-
""Sec. VII. - And be it enacted. That every Relieving Officer so appointed as aforesaid shall have power to give provisional relief in any case of sudden and urgent necessity, either by an order of admission to the workhouse or fever hospital of the union, provided there be room therein respectively, and by conveying any destitute poor persons thereto if necessary, or by affording such poor person immediate and temporary relief in food, lodging, medicine, or medical attendance, until the next ordinary meeting of the board of guardians, at which meeting he shall report the case, and the nature and cost of the relief so afforded, in such form and manner as the Poor Law Commissioners shall pre4scribe, and after such report shall give no further relief, otherwise than by direction of the board of guardians in the case so reported; and the guardians of the union shall furnish the relieving officers with the necessary funds for affording relief in manner aforesaid, and for !
the relief of those destitute poor persons to whom relief shall be granted by the board of guardians, at such times and in such manner as the Poor Law Commissioners shall determine and direct."
Relief - immediate relief - in food, lodging, medicine, or medical attendance. So says the law. There is no such thing - wretched creatures, staggering along the road - a relief (?) depot is placed miles away in fields, they cannot reach it, and on they go; and although death does not often relieve them, under the appalling circumstances which occurred in this instance, still it is daily hastening, by gnawing and emaciating hunger.
A simple (and as it were self-acting) test of "Go to the workhouse," is a very convenient sop for the consciences of some, and a very simple line of duty for inefficient officers; but I insist upon it - it is not according to law.
If hungry and destitute, every man, woman, and child, have a right to food, shelter, and medicine (if sick); and in my opinion no officer employed in the administration of that law has a liberty of interpreting it as penal against the sick, the hungry, the old, or the infirm, by saying - "You must go fifteen or sixteen miles to a poorhosu7e, or else you will not be relieved."

ACCIDENT TO P. M. BARRON, ESQ., Poor Law Inspector. - On Saturday evening, about nine o'clock, this estimable gentleman met with a severe accident, which was very near having a fatal result. He was returning to his residence, near Rostrevor, after having been away all the week visiting portions of his district, and was riding on an outside car. The driver, in endeavouring to pass some carts on the road, at the part where Mrs. Carter's and Mrs. Reilly's properties meet, drove the car on a heap of stones at the road side. The consequence was, the car was upset, and Mr. Barron was violently thrown off. He fell between the car and the carts, in a very dangerous position; and we regret to say, that the wheel of the car passed over his left arm, and close to his head. He was immediately conveyed to his own residence; and, medical assistance being procured, it was found that he had not sustained any serious injury, though his arm was severely hurt, and he was otherwise much shaken. We understand that the part of the road where this accident occurred is the narrowest to be found the whole way between Warrenpoint and Rostrevor; and it was, to say the least, exceedingly stupid on the part of the contractor, to place a heap of stones there. It is too bad that human life should be endangered by such carelessness. As it is, the public are deprived of the services of a most efficient and able officer - at a time, too, when his counsel and exertions were particularly required. We sincerely hope that Mr. Baron will soon be recovered so far as to resume his laborious duties, which he discharges so satisfactorily to all parties. Newry Telegraph
REPRESENTATION OF CORK. - The Repealers are busily engaged in the selection of a candidate to succeed Mr. CALLAGHAN in the representation of Cork. Mr. Alexander M'CARTHY (Old Irelander), Mr. Denny LANE (Young), Mr. Sergeant MURPHY (Liberal), Mr. A. F. WALSH (advocate of progressive reform), and others, are spoken of. The contest will be a very curious one, as sit afford the first opportunity of testing the state of parties since the break-up of the agitation system. The Conservatives, it is stated, are determined to start a candidate, but as yet they have made no move. Mr. WALSH is the only candidate who has actually addressed the electors. He is Professor of Law in the new Queen's College at Cork. Mr. Butt, Q.C., has, however, declared his intention of presenting himself as a candidate for the vacant representation.

CAVAN QUARTER SESSIONS.
These sessions commenced on Tuesday, the 16th inst., before P. J. MURPHY, Esq., Q.C., Assistant-Barrister.
Magistrates present: - G. M. KNIPE, Esq., John WILCOCKS, Esq., R. JM., Wm. HUMPHRYS, Esq., John E. VERNON, Esq., Major BAILIE, Abraham BRUSH, Esq., William SMITH, Esq., John GUMLEY, Esq., Robt. ERSKINE, Esq., Theophilus THOMPSON, Esq., J. B. M'CULLAGH, Esq., R.M.
The following gentlemen were sworn on the grand jury :- Thomas HARTLY, Esq., foreman; Wm. MOORE BLACK, Henry HUMPHRYS, William FARIS, John Alexander FARIS, Mathew LOUGH, Peter BRADY, James GILROY, Francis M'CABE, John MOORE, Alexander KETTYLE, Christopher MALCOMSTON, John BEATTY, Hugh PORTER, Samuel KENNEDY, Esquires.
The Assistant Barrister briefly addressed the grand jury, complimenting them on the lightness of the calendar, notwithstanding the length of time that had elapsed since the last session. His Worship remarked that a case of larceny from the gaol would come before them, in which the goods stolen were not mentioned as the property of any person. Formerly, it was usual and necessary, when articles were abstracted from any public institution to mention the name of some one in the bill of indictment as the owner of the property, - for instance, the Queen, - but by a recent act of parliament that difficulty was obviated. The grand jury would therefore consider the bill as formal without the name.
The grand jury then retired.
APPEAL AGAINST POOR-RATE
Mr. S. N. KNIPE appeared for Mr. Patrick GILROY of the Belturbet electoral division, to sustain an appeal against the rate levied on him for land in the occupation of his sister-in-law, Amelia, FITZPATRICK. Gilroy was rated for and paid the rate on a small holding belonging to his sister-in-law, although she has been in possession for the last twenty years, paying her rent separately, and recognized as a tenant of John LITTON, Esq., agent to the Earl of Lanesborough.
Mr. John ARMSTRONG, for the respondent, proved that Fitzpatrick has been living with her brother-in-law since January, 1848, and that she relinquished the benefits of the land for her support, Gilroy cultivating the farm and applying the products to his own use.
His worship affirmed the decree for the rate with costs.
Another appeal affirmed the decree for the rate with costs.
Another appeal against a decision given by the magistrates at petty sessions, in which Mr. John Armstrong appeared for the appellant, and Mr. E M'G for the respondent. On the order of the magistrates being handed up, the Assistant Barrister quashed it on the ground of informality, it having been signed by only one magistrate instead of two.

CORONER'S INQUEST.
On yesterday an inquest was held before Thos. BERRY, Esq., Coroner, in the town of Deramfield, parish of Drumlace, on view of the body of Thos. BURNS, aged about 15, who was found dead the day previous, in a ditch, in the townland of Corglass.
It appeared in evidence, that the deceased left his father's house on Tuesday last with the intent of going to the Belturbet Dispensary for some medicine, being then and for some time previous labouring under dysentery. Nothing further was known of him till yesterday when he was found lying in the ditch, by a few men who were passing the way, with a can of potatoes scattered around him, which it is supposed he had collected on Tuesday, and with which he was apparently making his way home. He and the rest of his family had suffered very considerable privations for some time back, but made no application for relief to the Relieving Officer.
Dr. KENNY, having made a post mortem examination deposed that he found no marks of violence on his body, but that it appeared greatly emaciated. He was of opinion that deceased came to his death from want and exposure to the cold. The jury unanimously returned the following verdict: - "We find that the deceased Thomas Burns came to his death by want and exposure to the cold; and we beg to add that there can be no blame attached to the relieving-officer, deceased not having applied to him for relief."
ANOTHER INQUEST.
An inquest was held in the vicinity of Farnham, on Wednesday last, by John M'FADIN, Esq., Coroner, on the body of a young man named Patt M'AVINNIA, a tailor, who resided at Drumealis, near this town.
It appeared on evidence that deceased had been at the market of Cavan on the previous day, and that he partook too freely of the "mountain dew" (which was no novelty to him,) to warrant his returning home on foot; he was therefore placed on an ass's cart the property of a man in the parish of Denn, and the animal was started in the direction of his own house, but not being capable of knowing where to stop, deceased allowed the ass to pass by his domicile and wander to Farnham, where he was found on the side of the road. It is supposed that he fell from the cart in attempting to stop its progress, when the wheel seemed to have passed within two inches of his head. No marks of violence were found on his body.
M'Avinnia was rather a peculiar looking person, he stood about five feet four inches when standing upright on one leg, when walking he scarcely measured four feet, in consequence of one of his legs being so much shorter than the other, having a stout body, and a head of considerable dimensions.
The jury returned a verdict of "Death from Congestion of the Brain, caused by Inebriety."
BIRTHS.
At Brasfort Cottage,a Cavan, on the 19th instant, the lady of W. H. NEWELL, Esq., of a daughter.
Oct. 14, at Greyabbey, Lady Charlotte MONTGOMERY, of a daughter.

Mr. Seargeant (sic) Wilkins, who is retained for Manning, got his brief same night, and Mr. CLARKSON, who is to defend the female prisoner, has been furnished with his brief by Mr. SOLOMONS. There is no doubt that the trial will take place on Thursday (yesterday) morning. The Under Sheriffs are overwhelmed with application for cards of admission to the court. The Lord Baron and Mr. Justice CRESSWELL are the judges who are to preside at the trial.
OUTRAGE OF A CLERGYMAN. - On Sunday night last, the Rev. John BLEEKLEY (BLECKLEY?), Minister of the first Presbyterian congregation of Monaghan, was returning from Keady, where he had been officiating for a brother clergyman, and when crossing the "Man of War Hill," four ruffians seized his horse, and cut the reins of his harness. Mr. B. descended from his gig, when the fellows demanded his money, and on his remonstrating with them, two of them seized his top coat which he had thrown round him cloakwise, and dragged it off his shoulder, another snatched his whip, and the party then endeavoured to get the rev. gentleman off his feet, but hearing a noise they decamped with the coat and whip. Some persons soon came up, and the inhabitants of the neighbourhood, indignant at such an outrage upon a gentleman so universally beloved, scoured the country in every direction, but without success. An affair of this kind is a novelty in this part of the country, and we do !not notice it for the purpose of shewing (sic) that the country is at all disturbed, but that the identification of the coat may lead to the apprehension of the ruffians. - Northern Standard."
