CHARGE OF MURDER.--An inquest was held in Nenagh Court-house on Wednesday, on the body of a boy named Pat Collins, aged about fourteen years, who had been found dead that morning about five o'clock, at the back of the garden wall of Mr. James Acres, residing in Bourne's-lane. From the evidence at the inquest, it appeared that the deceased was in the act of getting over the garden wall, when John Deely, a man in care of the garden, fired at him, and lodged the contents of a gun in his face and head, killing him on the spot. The unfortunate boy presented an awful appearance ; his face was literally shattered to pieces. Neither Mr. Acres nor Deely had a license to carry arms. The jury returned a verdict of wilful murder against the prisoner.--Nenagh Guardian. --The Cork Examiner, 27 August 1852 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dennis Ahern | Ireland Newspaper Abstracts Acton, Massachusetts | http://www.IrelandOldNews.com - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
