Cork, Apr 15.  Last Thursday night one Glass a Bailiff,
hearing that a young gentleman (for whom he had an action)
was at a dancing-school, went there to take him; as soon as
he enter'd the room, the gentleman drew his sword, and
desired him to keep his distance, or he should pay for
offering to take him in such a place; but Glass, regardless
of his threats, attack'd him, upon which the gentleman ran
him through the body so that he died that evening, and the
gentleman was taken by a comrade of Glass's and committed to
goal.
