In Ireland, justice is at length reaching the criminals under
the special-jury clauses of the Crime Prevention Act. In Dublin, on Saturday, Francis Hynes was found guilty of the murder of John Deloughty, a herdsman, within a few miles of Ennis. The murderer was named by the dying man, who retained his faculties to the last, and named him sepira' ely to three people, one of them being a magistrate who asked him whether he knew that he was dying, when he answered in the affirmative. Sentence of death was passed. On Monday, three men were charged with deliberately attempting to murder John Sullivan, in the neighbourhood of Mallow, on April 4th last, for taking a small piece of land which had been claimed by a national-school tewher, and the special jury found them guilty. The attack had been very bloodthirsty, and two of them had returned to it a second time, The sentences were for twenty, fifteen, and ten years' penal servitude. On the same day, four "moonlighters," convicted last week, were sentenced, one of them to fifteen and the other three to ten years' penal servitude ; and a fifth man was sentenced to penal servitude for life, for an attack on two soldiers, on whom he had fired with a revolver.
