I feel that I want to offer a prize for anyone who comes up with a witty and original ending ;D ;D ;D but I really want the actual text.

Cut and paste from Freemans Journal... Tue 11 Jun 1839 p3.

LAMENTABLE OCCURRENCE. On Tuesday evening last Mr. Basil Sandys, who has re- sided in this town for some months back, and who held the situation of excise officer, went out for some short time from his house in Church-street, leaving his family of six children behind him; on his return he found that the eldest, a fine girl of thirteen years of age, had neglected to attend to her brothers and sisters, as directed by her father when going out; he immediately laid hold of her, and commenced beating her with the thong of a whip which he took down for that purpose. After beating her for some time, and whilst in a violent fit of passion, he turned the handle of the whip and struck her on the crown of the head; a bone crook which was on the handle entered the child's skull to some depth, and fractured it. She now lies in the county infirmary, in a hopeless state, and Mr. Sandys has been arrested and committed to our county gaol, awaiting the result. Mr. Sandys is respectably connected in the county of Roscommon, and his wife, the stepmother of the children, was not at home it occurred -- Longford Journal

Oh dear - it appears that his daughter subsequently died from her injuries.

By the 27 June it was reported that Basil was committed to gaol for the supposed murder of his daughter

So, he had 6 children and looks like he was married twice by then, if I read it correctly.....
