DEATH OF JUDGE FLETCHER
This venerable and distinguished character has paid the debt of nature- he
expired yesterday morning at his seat, Montrose, in this county, as full of
years as honours- he had attained the age of 73. In early life he had
qualified himself for the medical profession, but having displayed much
declamatory talent at various public meetings, and applied himself with
peculiar assid???y to the study of the law- how well he succeeded need not
be said here, for the profundity of his research, the vigour of his mind and
memory, and the stern integrity of his legal constructions and inferences
have established the incontroversible fact.

In his Parliamentary career in the Irish House of Commons, he was
distinguished. There, too, he was to be found at his country's call. The
elequent narrator of her or her sufferings and privations, and the ?????? of
her just cliams to the sympathy and justice of the Governors. His
magnanimity and talents attracted the notice of his Grace the Duke of
Bedford, while exercising hte Viceregal power in this country, who, on the
warm recommendation of he immortal H. GRATTAN, appointed Counsellor William
FLETCHER to his judicial situation. As a Judge, his memory will be long
venerated. Inflexible in the maintenance of the Laws of the Land, and the
dignity of her Judges, he was far beyond prejudice, as he soared above
partiality. For the last two years his health declined rapidly, and a
general debility terminated a truly amiable life. He has left one son to
imitate his virtues and deplore his irrepable loss.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Serjeants TORRENS and LEFROY are both spoken of as likely to be appointed to
the seat vacant on the Judicial Bench in the Common Pleas by teh death of
Mr. Justice FLETCHER. Dr. RADCLIFFE is also spoken of as likely to be
included in the changes consequent on the demise of Judge FLETCHER.

THE ARMY
The Grand Division of the 12th Lancers arrived here on Tuesday last, from
Ballinrobe, on their way to Limerick. They are as fine a Body of Men as any
in the service. The Colonel set up at the "Black Horse", Mr. CONNELLY's
excellent Hotel.

~~~~~~~~~~
On Friday morning last two young men, named GLYNN and CREAGHAN, were at work
together on the lands of Carramore, parish of Ballynacourty, and an
altercation having taken place upon some frivolous subject, the latter
struck GLYNN a violent blow of a spade, by which his life is despaired of.
CREAGHAN, we are informed, has absconded.

Yesterday, Mr. W. TAYLOR, Sheriff of Limerick, was sentenced to one month's
imprisonment in Kilmainham Gaol for a Libel, published in the Limerick
Chronicle on Mr. J.N. RUSSELL.
