| The curtain has fallen on the farce of the investigation of the murder of the poor boy Ahern by Constable Swindell at Middleton. It will be remembered that Pether was first moved to take action in this case by the announcement of the Chief Baron that he would accept an indictment from the next-of-kin founded on the verdict of willful murder of the Coroner's jury. This looked bad for Constable Swindell. The Packer thereupon took the matter out of the hands of the next-of-kin, and sent his familiar Mr. Carson to prosecute the constable before a few thoroughly-reliable Removables. More than one witness swore that they saw the constable thrust his bayonet through and through the wretched boy, who, it was conceded, had taken no part whatever in the disturbance that was in progress. This, however, the impartial Removables found did not establish even a prima facie case against him. He left the court without a stain on his character, however it may have fared with his bayonet, and Mr. Carson returned to Dublin to receive the congratulations of his chief. |
