Rice was not only the wanton aggressor, but he had been the cause of the unfortunate unfor-tunate position of the three other prisoners in the case. Father Brown was walking the road leading into Markethill, and at two o'clock in the day an absolutely wanton and unprovoked attack was made on him. He gave no offence, except that he was a clergyman of different religion to prisoners. He I would sentence Rice to six months' imprisonment. William Blackeney joined in the assault, lie came off a car and used a stick on the head and person of Father Brown. He was to a certain extent brought into it by Rice, and he would bo sentenced to two months. Hugh Coughey and Alexander Kelly were less guilty, and would bo sentenced to one month each. THE THAMP DOCTOR'S DOSE. At a special court, held at Ballinrobe, presided over by Mr. A. Bell, R. M., Thomas Coyne, a man of the tramp class, aged about 45 years, and against whom, as fully reported in our issue of March 5, a Coroner's jury had returned a verdict of being responsible for the death of a young girl named Mary Carroll, by administering a dose of whisky, rum and mustard in milk, on the 10th of February last, near Kilmaine, was brought up in custody charged with the offence. Dr. M. Semple, Cong, deposed that he had been attending the deceased since September. She was suffering from a disease peculiar to girls, and was not in the. least danger of death under his care. She appeared to be going on well. He saw her on. the lftth of February, the date the dose was given, and she was then in a comatose condition and appeared ap-peared to be suffering intense pain. After death he saw her sides burned, and on the 16th inst. he performed post-raotem examination. All the organs or-gans were in sound condition. He believed the dose of whisky, mustard, rum and milk caused the death of the child. The mother of the deceased deposed to the prisoner forcing her to send for the stuff, and telling her the doctors knew nothing about the complaint from which the child was suffering; that he alone -had a "cure" for.it, and that ho had cured 20 girls or inc. same complaint. Relieving his story, she allowed him to administer the dose. She next described her daughter's raving and groaning, and the agony suffered by her up to the hour of her death. The prisoner was returned for trial (to the next assizes for the County Mayo on the charge of causing caus-ing the death of the girl, and was remanded in custody. DEATH OF AN EX-IRISH M. P.
