A REMARKABLE JUDGMENT
“CALLS TO HEAVEN FOR REVENGE.” London, Atarch 13. Air Justice Wilson has delivered a remarkable judgment at the Armagh Assizes, relating to a compensation claim arising out of the murder of John Cosgrove by Sinn Felners last June. -His Honour said he bad never heard of a more hellish or devilish crime. The Sinn Feiners murdered O’Hanlon as a supposed spy, and then, because, Cosgrove, whp was O’Hanlons’ cousin, lifted and washed the body, tlie Sinn Feiners forced him to bid adieu to bis wife and family,.and shot him in cold*, blood outside liis house. Even the Jews and Romans had not i insulted the divine women who washed Christ’s body. The murder of Cosgrove was carried out in a spirit of malice that sprang from a bottomless hell, and called to Heaven for revenge. Unless the spiritual leaders of 'the people denoilnced suck crimes, their palaces ahd temples would become the abode.of foxes and owls. If be bad the power, he would make the perpetrators and their children to the fourth generation serfs to Cosgrove’s widow and her descendants. In conclusion, lie increased the amount of compensation from £1,530 of : -£1,750A
