Murder.--On the
10th instant a person, calling himself John Lay, went to the house of
John Fitzgerald, farmer, at Dunmurry, near Kildare, and represented
that he was married to Fitzgerald's daughter, and that she was then in
Manchester.-- He remained with the family, and accompanied them to mass
on the following morning (Sunday.) The family retired to bed about ten
o'clock.--Fitzgerald and Lay slept together. Fitzgerald's wife, their
daughter Elizabeth, and a young child slept in another room, off the
kitchen. About twelve o clock [sic] the females heard the cry of
murder, and Lay was seen forcing the door of their bed-room with a
razor in his hand. Elizabeth caught hold of the razor ; he seized her,
but she soon disengaged herself and alarmed the neighbours, when Lay
fled. Fitzgerald was found with his throat cut from ear to ear, which
caused his death immediately. Expresses were sent in every direction,
and the murderer was apprehended by the country people, near Black
Church, on Monday, who conducted him to Naas gaol. Had it not been for
the exertion of the girl, it is thought he would have murdered the
whole family. Lay says he is a native of Lancashire, and that he
deserted from the 86th Regiment in April ; and that when he was
quartered in Dublin he married Catherine, the daughter of John
Fitzgerald, whom he murdered.
============================
Meeting at the Sessions-House, Newry.
At the Adjourned Meeting on Wednesday, on the subject
of the
Police-Bill, Mr. Geo. Ogle presided. The object was to receive the
Report of the Committee appointed at the former Meeting.
Mr. O'Hanlon read the Report.--It stated, that the
Committee, after
their appointment, proceeded immediately to collect subscriptions, to
enable the inhabitants to oppose the Police-Bill ; and such had been
the liberality of the town, that a sum fully adequate, it was hoped, to
the purpose, was raised in a short time. The Committee had prepared a
Petition to the two Houses of Parliament--which, if adopted by the
Meeting, they recommended to be forwarded to Mr. Brougham, with a
request that he would support the prayer thereof; they also recommended
that the leading Members of Parliament should be written to, in order
to interest them on the subject. The Report adverted to the propriety
of strictly confining the signatures to the Petition to those properly
qualified, as occupiers of houses of the yearly value of £5 and
upwards.
The draught of the Petition to Parliament was read by
Mr. O'Hanlon's
son ; and on the motion of Mr. Maguire, seconded by Mr. Waring, was
adopted by the Meeting.
A series of resolutions were then moved by Mr.
Maguire, seconded by Mr. J. Waring, and agreed to nem. con.
A Vote of Thanks to Mr. O'Hanlon, moved by Mr. P.
Sharkey, seconded by Mr. I Smith, was carried with loud acclamations.
Mr. O'Hanlon returned his acknowledgments for the
high honour the
Meeting had done him ; and thanks having been given to the Chairman,
the Meeting dispersed.
