THE CASTLETOWNROCHE MURDER.

Fnrthor Particulars. Itospoctlng the Alleged Murdor.

further particulars,, respecting the iocal habits and doings of William Sheehan, who is in custody on suspicion of having murdered.his mother, sister, and brother at Castlotownrochc, are now in our possession. Thoso who havo beon acquainted with tho man since his arrival in Auckland, or who havo been in tho habit of watching him, all givo him credit for extreme industry. It has boen ascertained that he had £365 to his credit in the Bunk pf New Zealand sinco his arrival here, md thatamountwasallowcd to remain ondoposit until the purchase of tho farm was made. The sum of £325 was then drawn out. Sheehan displayed a strong desire to obtain employment during his stay in town, Ho sought for something to do every day, and when ho was given a small job ho set to work with such determination and alacrity that ho. won tho good opinions, of (ill his employers. Ho, was not •particular respecting tho nature of the employment, arid whilo he was ono day oiling the wheels of Craig's carts, tho next ho might have boon soon holping, to dischargo. cargo from one of tbe vessels at the Queen-street Wharf. It may bo imagined th.it Dctoctivo Walker had an uneasy time of it when-his man was so near the wharf, and employed on foreign coing vessels by which ho might have escaped if ho had boon given tho loast warn ing. The dotoctivo had him undor daily surveillance' nudsomegood storms of "hair breadth 'scapos," could no doubt bo told by tho officer. Sheehan was a very rapid walker, find whon out for an occasional evening ramble ho gave, the dotcctivo dli ho could do to. keep him' in sight. Ono evening ho., took a long ramble down College Road and along tlie Customs eitree.t West reclamation road. Proceeding iip Queen-street, ho met two girls, ono of whom introduced herself us an acquaintance from Lismoro, Ireland. Sheehan took kindly to what was ovidoritly an : "old townoy," and shouted for tho couple. They, however, souglit to lead him from tho paths of rectitude,, I'nd ho loft them in disgust. Ho lost his way when returning home that night, and seeing the dotoctivo in tho rear, evidently thought he was followed for tho purpose of being robbed. Inquiring his road from a passer-by, ho no sooner heard the direction given than lie fled towards "Vic toria-street, leaving Detective Walker in tho rear. The dotectivc watched his houso regularly, and overheard many an evoning conversation. On . ono occasion tho daily •bapers had publishod, an account of this Castletownrocho niurdor, and that ovoning the conversation of Sheehan and hie neigh hour Bi*yan, by what appoars a singular coincidence, turned upon murders that liaVe been committed in Auckland and Ireland. Numerous horrid details of human butchery were reluted, until the detective's hair fairly bristled on end, Sbeehan's composure at the timo of his arrest was remarkable, and during tho trip into town .he remarked that he had not expected to be able to sco "ould Ireland " again so soon, but when this business was ovor the Government would have to bring him out to the colony again. I.a-.t Monday, Sheehan called at the Star ofllce, and handed to one of our clerks the following advortisemont :— ". Wanted, a respectable Man to toke chargo of a Farm of 20 acres, 3 cows and poultry, about 10 miles from Auckland, near a rail way station, good garden and orchard. Rent, £10 il year; will givo work for tho tent;— Apply, between C and 6 p.m. at Star Offieo on Monday." Sheehan was asked for his namo and address, but he said they did not matter ; Eo would call himself between the hours mentioned. He was arrested that ufter noon, and of course could not como. Thore were about forty applicants, and tho remark df several disappointed individuals was that it was too good a thing to be genuine. The officers from England to tako charge of Sheehan ate daily expected, but no advices of their arrival have been received yet.
