The Sligo Champion of Saturday announced that Judge Torrens had been so enfeebled by an attack of gout as to be unable to perform his judicial duties ; and Baron Lefroy had gone to Sligo to sit in his place. Saunders's News Letter, a Conservative paper, published on Monday,. contained this paragraph—" Sligo, 15th July.—(Extract of a private letter.)—It is rumoured here that Archdeacon Torrens will be the new Bishop ; Judge Torrens retiring to make room for Sergeant Warren, se as to avoid all difficulties which Sir Edward Sugden might raise." "It is well known," says the correspondent of the Morning Chronicle, "that Sir Edward Sngden's objections apply to Mr. Jackson, the Solicitor- General ; but, if there were two vacant Judgeships, one of which was conferred on Sergeant Warren, Sir Edward's hostility might be ap- peased."
Byrne and Quilty, alias Woods, were executed at Clonmel on Satur- day afternoon, for the murder of Mr. Hall and of one Laffan re- spectively.
