Coroner's Inquest. Wednesday last, an inquest was held by Andrew Hosty, Esq. Coroner, at Cahermorris, parish of Annadown, on the body of Owen Murphy.

The jury returned the following verdict:- That the said Owen Murphy, came by his death by falling from a cart on the high road at Cahermorris, on Sunday last, the 13th instant.

REDINGTON

On Wednesday last an inquest was held at Headford by Andrew Hosty Esq., on the body of John Leary, Sub-constable of Police of the Loughgeorge station. Captain St. George and George Wright, Esq., Sub-inspector, were present. The enquiry excited a great deal of interest, it being generally supposed that the deceased came by his death at the hands of his comrades, they having a row that night and all of them having marks of violence on their persons. The suspicions were further increased in consequence of no report having been made or professional assistance looked for.
The Jury found that, on the night of the 20th instant, at Michael Flynn's public house in Headford, the deceased accidentally fell down stairs, which caused a mortal wound on the left side of his head, of which he died the following morning. 
The deceased was a native of Cavan, and one of the 24 policemen on duty in this town on the memorable night of the 8th of August, 1837.
