THE LATE MURDER NEAR KILLALA Terence Mulherin, the elder of the brothers charged with the murder of Jennings, lately committed near Killala, has been arrested under the following circumstances: - A woman from this neibhbourhood, to whom the Mulherins were known, received a letter in Liverpool, where she has been some time living, from an acquaintance, wherein was mentioned the murder, and that a reward of £50 was offered for such information as would lead to the arrest and conviction of the Mulherins. - The day after receiving this letter she happened to meet Terence Mulherin in one of the streets of Liverpool, and having engaged him for some time in conversation about her people in Ireland, gave him in charge to a policeman. He was then, upon the woman's information, transported to the Castlebar gaol, where he was identified by one of the Killala policemen, and now remains in custody for trial at the next assizes. SHEEP STEALING On the night of the 1st inst., three strolling beggars entered an out-house belonging to T. Kelly of Dooeaghny, about three miles from this town in the county of Sligo, and carried away a sheep which they killed in a waste house adjoining. The perpetrators of this outrage were two men and a woman, named Lavelle, from Newport and Achill. They were arrested on the following day (Tuesday) by Constable Phibbs and his party and brought before Thomas Jones, Esq., J.P., by whom they were committed, and on the next day sent to Sligo. The Quarter Sessions were then proceeding in that town, and the parties being brought before the Barrister on the following Friday were found guilty and sentenced - the two men to seven years transportation each, and the woman to six months imprisonment and hard labour. At the same sessions Michl. Kelly, who stole a sheep from Anthony Muldoon of Rathmel, near this town, was sentenced to 12 months imprisonment with hard labour. DARING RESCUE - On Friday last, Patrick Glynn, Esq., Sub-Sheriff, with six of the Westport constabulary, proceeded on official duty to Erriff, where, after an obstinate and dangerous resistance, he seized some sheep, and while proceeding with them to some particular destination, crowds of persons assembled in every direction of the locality, and immediately commenced to rescue. All remonstrances were disregarded and so determined were the rescuers that they appeared as if careless of life. Mr. Glynn perceiving this, felt impelled by humanity not to persevere, as, if the constabulary were ordered to use their arms, the consequence would have been a great sacrifice of human life. Great credit is due to this officer for his steadiness and forbearance under so trying an occasion. The offending party will, however, be brought to justice.
