DOMESTIC INTELLIGENCE.

Extract of a letter from Youghal, Jan 15,
ESTERDAY in the afternoon, was

The first fitting day of term, Mr. Juftice Robinton gave a charge to the

Ybrought into this harbour by the Grand Jury of the city and county of

crew of one of our fithing-boats, a floop about forty five- Tuns, laden with butter, beef, &c. On her ftern was wrote, Hen and chickens, Martin Riorbo, mafter. They found her a league from Cable If land, without a living foul on board; her jib, and forefail, and mainsail fet, the latter reefed, and her helm lafhed to the windward with her head to the fea, on going into her Cabbin they difcovered a leak, which feemed to be juft made in the counter, &c. they flopped with butter; every thing was fafe on the deck, except the boat and Oars. She had about three feet water in her hold, and was brought in under fail, the weather being quite moderate. On examining her, when the tide went out, there were difcovered in her counter, two holes that feemed to have been lately made with the sharp end of an iron crow, and two or three fmall ones, It is thought the crew quitted her early yesterday morning in expectation of her speedily finking, but providentially the boat difcovered her in time, and faved both floop and Cargo. We have the pleasure to affure our readers, that three days after the date of the above letter, the captain and crew of the fame floop were apprehended near Youghal, and conducted to Corke next day by a ferjeants guard, where the owner was alfo fecured, and with them lodged in the county goal of that city.

He informed the jury that it was incumbent upon them to prefent and enquire into every fuch offence: We could wifh with the honourable Judge, that a jury was the only court of honour; but when paftors and Mafters fet an example of a fummary decision by piftols, we may ceafe to wonder that leffer creatures defy the Almighty command, thou shalt do no murder.

A boy obferved two women climbing over the wall which enclofes the foundation of a church in the Little-green; curious to know what they were about, he looked through a gate which leads into this ground; when, oh horrible! he saw them cruelly murder an infant. He immediately alarmed the chaife- men on the ftands, who fcall the wall and arrived on the fpot, but too late either to fave the infant's life, or fecure the bloody and inhuman monfters, who had perpetrated this diabolical act.
